It will be this imo

Pretty much the same team that best them last time

If Antony is out

Dave

AWB-varane-lindelof-shaw

Fred ——-Casemiro

Bruno. Eriksen. Rashford

Martial


Was opposed to the idea martial starts but he tends to score against city so maybe psychologically he will be up for it more.

Going for a midfield of Eriksen, Casemiro with Bruno doing his excited toddler routine is suicide. The final will be over by half time.

I know it’s wishful thinking but if we want any chance of winning this final we need to make it an ugly scrappy game. If we continue to just allow acres of space and their players to carry the ball 40-50 yards unchallenged as we have been doing, they just smash us to bits.

We definitely need an extra body in midfield. Shame they’re all shit.

If we try and play football against them they will absolutely batter us.

Pack the midfield and play ugly.

this pretty much sums up the problem 10h has to solve.

I mean... we all know he's going play fred, right?

Yes. He doesn’t have much choice.

Martial/Sancho can’t decide which..

He won't, but we should or we'll get tonked.

Eriksen is technically brilliant but pair him in a two with Casemiro against a team that will pass you to death isn’t wise.

The only way we win is on the counter, you need hardworking players, just watch our luck when everything falls to Fred , he #@&%!s up the easy counter pass, puts his hand up and smiles

Ericsson simply cannot start.

He doesn’t have the legs.

Fred first half and run himself into the ground.
MCTOMINAY 2nd half.

Partly agree with this , but we need some attacking threat. On the counter you need someone who can ping a through ball quickly, when we do win the ball. You just know everything will just land to Fred and he will #@&%! it up. If Antony is out I’d squeeze him in at 10 and shift bruno to the right.

Eriksen has to start and will. It just can’t be only him and Casemiro.

Wow!

Fred needs to start with Bruno and Casemiro.

It’s a no brainer.

If Antony fit, then him, Rashers and Sanchers in a fluid, Triangle of Terror against the detested City.

Really hope ETH is reading this thread.

lol. fred may well start, if antony doesn't, but... let's not forget that fred is an abomination. dalot in midfield would be better than fred. a midfield of cass and fred against city will not work.
