Definitely has a soft centre

Yeah, he's not what he's cracked up to be

Anyway, good thread. I agree with your prediction - think we will be too much for them by about 60 minutes and we'll get some goals.

De Gea

Bissaka Maguire Rojo Williams

Fred McTominay

Mata

Lingard Martial Rashford

Mata and Lingard off after being shit, 1-1. Pereira and James on, 2-1. Greenwood on 82 mins.

You don't think he'll go for a back 3?

The odd time we've had a back 3, i've liked how we've played. Seems to really suit this squad. But is that us or the opposition being shit

If Lindelof is 50/50 will Ole risk; Jones, Maguire and Rojo, not sure he will, I've had enough of Jones anyway. Personally wouldnt start Mata or Lingard, but got a feeling Ole will. We'll see.

When Pogba is fit, where would you play him with a back 3 ?, and who would you play in midfield ?

Yeah, can see Mata starting to be honest.

Pogba with a back 3? No place for him other than on the right perhaps and coming in?

Back 5

McTomineh Fred

Pogba Martial Rashford

Pogba can't work in a 2 so he's out I'm afraid most likely.

I was thinking about this the other day, that i've liked us playing with a back 3, then thought.... what do we do with Pogba, and how do we get the best from him in that.

Don't think we do to be honest.

Anyway, we should have enough for tomorrow....I hope.....

Back 3 at home to Brighton?

f*** right off.

He’s about as robust as a Lindt egg

Pereira keeps his place

Nice to see Williams start

Surprised he didn’t start Mata. I’m kind of glad though. I might regret that after this game, we’ll soon find out.

Decent team under the circumstances. Where's Matic?

Seeing fred in the team is like happily bumping into an old female friend, who you used to have a great laugh with and you haven't seen for ages, but she has her boring, jealous, moody husband with her

seeing fred in the team is like seeing an distinctly average footballer do distinctly average things for 90 mins.

This sounds about right.

Although it's an improvement on seeing awful footballer doing awful things for 90 minutes, which is where Fred was at last season.

Seeing Fred in the team is the reason I gave my ticket away
