Not that it really matters. But Gomes is clearly playing ahead of the other two and trying to sit in the hole. It is more of a 4231 than a typical 433.

So much negativity jeez, it is such a young side, all of these players need minutes.
This will just be dismissed as tactics making them not perform.
Iv never known a manager of a top club make the decision to have so few goalscoring options in his squad .
It was obvious we were going to struggle to score goals this season with the players he wanted upfront . Absolute bonkers decision by him

It's got to that point again where I'm not bothering to watch us anymore. It's much less stressful and I dont get annoyed.
Happened under Moyes, lvg, Mourinho and now solskjaer.

In fairness, we've made Astana look like a team from a farmers league.
Imagine watching a team full of reserve kids and expecting champagne football...
Some people just don’t understand process.
Very good post, and very accurate. The team we are playing tonight are awful. Awful. And some on here seem to suggest our performance is anything other than average at best.
I have stated on many occasions, the expectations for a club like ours, has dropped, significantly. We should be smashing teams like this. They are crap. I am fed uo reading posts suggesting that average players and average performances are somehow acceptable at Manchester United FC. We have become like the players... they play like they expect little, because little expectation is now good enough.
It's sad. And Ole is a huge part of this, because we have no flippin' identity as a team at all. Even with the youngsters playing.... the performance is so flat.
Reserves or not there a league 1 level team and yet we still can’t create.
Some people don’t want to come along for the ride. "Wake me up when we’ve arrived", they say.
If it were up to me, we’d leave a whole bunch of our fanbase at the next petrol station.
I am now done running the metaphor into the ground.
Serious questions need to be asked, not only from ole, but from the whole coaching staff. We are struggling to create and score against a poor side.
Name one game in the history of football where a team has thrown in 5 or more kids from the reserves and won, let alone played good football.
Some of you can’t see past the manager for some reason.
Another very good game by Ole and the staff. Despite FM2020-kids here at RedCafe he did exactly what should be done in Europa League.
1. Rotate players and give young players some playing time. Test them. See where they stand.
2. Make subs if/when needed to take controll of game by putting in well needed experience.
Good work tonight. Job done.

We beat FC Midgetland 5-1 with a team full of kids under LvG.
Yep, absolutely. Agree with all that.
This.
Lineup?
We've lost to actual league 1 sides in my time supporting United, 1 performance with kids and fringe players does not mean anything.
When he does eventually get sacked, I think everyone will finally admit his coaching was pretty much a case of 'what would Sir Alex do'.
When that fails you see him constantly looking towards Phelan or McKenna for answers because he seems to lack any of his own.

His faith in Rashford and Lingard is going to be his downfall.
The time with him is auch a waste.
We had plenty of weak games with our reserves under SAF also, plenty.
Youngsters, players not match fit and no team cohesion. It will not be champagne football.

Experimental cup sides should always sweep the opposition aside. It's not like SAF would lose to the likes of Southend and Coventry with dross like Rooney and Ronaldo.
We haven't had a coach who can teach good attacking patterns. It's been apparent since the Moyes era and still we refuse to do anything about it.
First team players or youngsters it’s still the same. No game plan. Slow passing tempo and poor movements. Many individual mistakes.
Bad coaching or bad players. Take your pick.

So those are the kids used to justify lack of required investment?
Varela, Riley, Depay, Rashford, Lingard, Poole, Andreas all played.
Scoreline flattered them, which wasn't surprising. Not sure how anyone who watched the game can post 'we didn't create chances' when Rashford alone should have broken few goal scoring records. We didn't finish though, very poor finishing.
Overall we should have done lot better.

I remember us getting battered by Leeds and Coventry with teams similar to this one, and that was under Fergie.
Should have scored at least 3 but our players can't finish for shit. Good to see youngsters playing.
The fact OGS is a crap manager will be his downfall.
Are you really questioning whether a team has thrown 5 kids from the reserves on and won a match in the history of football? Are you familiar with big teams playing minnows in cup competitions or is this your first match you've watched?
Cant name any then?
I also remember United winning a couple of matches in between. I also remember them playing well once or twice.
