Really sucks that we don’t have Shaw for this game. He was a big big part of our improved performance last game

 

[Scroto Baggins]

Have to be on point defending set pieces, Holebas has a good delivery and a lot of targets in the Watford team. Deserved winners vs Spurs and we have to be up for that physical scrap. Would be great to get an early goal and take some of the wind out of their, and the crowds, sails.

I was thinking this - really hoped Fellaini would be starting but unsure after the presser.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

International breaks are so annoying. Season barely starts and you have 2 weeks off right away. Thank feck this is back. Fully ready to be disappointed again!

Until October when hooray along comes another one.

To think we just had the word cup a couple of months ago.

There is a break in November as well. Just to make things worse.

Jose actually said in his presser that the doctors say Shaw can play this match. He's just unsure whether to do so as he's had very limited training through the week. It's probably about 50/50 as to who starts out of him and Young, but Young did have probably his best United performance there last season.

 

[Red Royal]

I actually think the International break came at a good time for us... we wont the last game but after 2 losses whereas Watford must have been delighted with their fantastic start. Has given Jose time to have more time to think about his plans. No international injuries (Shaw aside) and the one guy who needed games (Rashford) got some much needed positive press.

Can't wait for this one!

 

[simplyared]

Could do without this fixture right now imo. We're playing away against a team who are on a roll. They've brought in a manager who knows the importance of psycology in football and he has implemented it in his players. Unlike us a team in harmony. Watford are a team that most people think we should beat. If we were to lose against a City, Chelsea or a Liverpool nobody would bat an eyelid right now. If we lose against a Watford however, which we could well do, there could be consequences. Hope I'm wrong but going on recent form can't see anything that points to 3 pts on the board for us.

Must have missed that bit of news. That actually is great to hear, but I would err on the side of letting him sit this one out, even if we need him. Watford are in top form, and it would be unfair to make a rusty Shaw play against an in form team like them. Let him rest this weekend and return from next matchday!

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Jones and Rojo are injured

Whaaaat? No Way!!!

What kit we gonna wear today? Our new home kit has loads of black on it, as does there's. I reckon we'll see that nice dark blue top with white shorts.

 

[Fully Fledged]

Jones and Rojo are injured

When did Rojo get injured playing for the kids last night?

 

[WoodysWallet]

Would love to see Martial get an opportunity here. He’s been training with the squad all week, as has Sanchez I believe. You would have thought they may have been working on something in training, seen as Rashford is injured and Jesse has played twice for England.

Yeah got Injured playing last night for the kids - I won't even waste my breathe on Jones

 

[FootyGirl88]

Come on the Spuds!

Wrong thread

Too bad. I'd like to see him back in the squad.

 

[ypsipeos]

Holebas is rubbish and the two CBs are very slow. It's a pitty we don't have a quick right winger. IMO Sanche(sch)z should play right wing today. He has Holebas in his pocket.

 

[P-Nut]

Thought this was tomorrow for some reason, hopefully we get the win to make work easier tonight.

So did I tbh

 

[DocRockter]

The season starts now.. No excuses, just run through them and go from there. 0-3

 

[JMack1234]

Lindelof vs Deeney could be very nasty.

 

[Kapardin]

Juan can go. Ander can stay as a squad player for the wages he's on.

As for the game, please get the 3 points. Don't want to be 9 fecking points behind Liverpool this early in the season.

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

Lindelof vs Deeney could be very nasty.

 

[Greek9]

Must win! 9 points behind Liverpool just no...

 

[tombombadil]

Liverpool got an easy ride through tottenham. Man City as well. I think all the leading teams bar Spurs won. This is looking more and more like a must win game.

Must win games tend to be screw jobs and United tend not to do well after internationals ..... sigh .... Just keep hoping I guess ....

 

[Andersons Dietician]

Damn, I had read Shaw was back in full training and I thought Jose might risk him so I swapped him back in for Young and now I’m reading he didn’t travel.

Big game this, just can’t lose and the scary thing is they are capable of putting one over most teams on their day.

Yeah, I think we can stop Watford from winning their fifth straight league game.

11/11

Glad Fellaini made it, he'll be important

 

[FootyGirl88]

No surprises really - would have liked to seen Pereira on the bench at least

 

[extincti fugax hominum]

Lindelof against Deeney

 

[Wayne's World]

An absolute must win game. No excuses with dippers and City winning

 

[lsd]

Why ? We are going to be nowhere near Liverpool or city

 

[Damien]

Easy. Pereira the player left out from the 19 who traveled.

 

[J_XO]

Hope we aren’t playing with the red shirt and white shorts things could get ugly in this game but I didn’t expect it to be this
