‘Leaked’ Team v Crystal Palace

Henderson

Awb
Maguire
Bailly
Shaw

Fred
Matic

Rashford
Bruno
Greenwood

Cavani

Would love a bit of that tbh.

definitely looks like Martial has been pushed down the pecking order due to his lack of production....

do we need two holding mids though against Palace and there 442?

Let Fred get forward and have a few shots. He might surprise us and them.

Genuinely had no idea we were playing today. #TopRed

Doesn't really need a top secret "leak" to work out what our team's going to be.

We're so thin on the ground in terms of quality, it pretty much picks itself.

It evolves into 3 at the back with Matic dropping in to let the full backs go forward. Fred just in front

glad to see Bailly back we will need his physicality and pace at the back

good to see Matic playing, we need at least one midfielder who can pass a ball.

Cavani up top should be interesting, hopefully we find him with some intelligent balls, he’s always making good runs but hardly ever gets picked out, hopefully that changes.

There’s usually 4 or 5 changes every game. A couple of surprises in there too. Henderson, Bailly, Cavani back.

I don’t know WHY I bother.

Explains why he let Lukaku go to an extent. If we're not going to put a good supply in, like a traditional 4-4-2 could offer, then we've got to go for something different. Cavani would suit our style if Rashford and particularly Greenwood looked up a bit more.

Cavani is a weird one, i think we signed him as cover or maybe to be played as an impact sub but due to Martial’s form he’s playing a lot more, so that might explain why we struggle to create chances for him and all our strikers tbb.

he’s amazing in the air but we hardly cross the ball to him, he’s great running off the back of the defenders but never play balls through or over the defensive line. it’s as if we signed him just hoping he would score on his own accord.

Still no full game for Amadeus?

Matic is the worst central midfielder we have (which is saying something ). Hope he puts in a decent shift today

He scored a last minute screamer a couple of years ago to win the game

shit are you talking on or off the ball because the old £#%&! does it both way too often and leaves a massive hole in the middle of the pitch as he's too slow to get back into defensive shape

Bailly and Maguire

I think Cavani is good for Greenwood. 3-1 United. Martial to make a cheeky sub appearance and slot one home? Watch this space....

So this was pretty accurate?
