Burnley v Manchester United - 8pm 23/09/23 - Official Match Thread

W(hy)tf is it an 8pm kick off??

Probably one of the worst fixtures we could have on the back of the last few weeks. We know we should win which often leads to us not any updates on Amrabat?

For what it’s worth

Onana
Dalot—-Lindelof—-Martinez—-Reguillon
Casemiro—Amrabat
Bruno
Pelistri————-Rashford
Hojlund

3-0 united

Been saying it every week. One big win could kick start our season and give it momentum.

If Amrabat is fit, stick him next to Casemiro . If not a midfield three of Casemiro mejbri and Bruno . The latter two as number 8s.

Bulk out the midfield and give it energy.

8pm

I'll be in tears if Amrabat still isn't fit.

I genuinely mean that.

If he is fit I think he’ll be on the bench.

Maybe get the last 20-30 minutes.

At this point I’m starting to doubt if he’s actually real.

Well Jeff this is 2 sides who have made a poor start to the season so I’m not expecting a classic. I think it will come down to who has the greatest desire, so I’m going for 1-0 Burnley

Hojlund to 100pc bag...

1-2...

8pm on a Saturday night in Burnley is no place for shrinking violets. Should threaten them with having to go to the local discotheque afterwards if they get beat.

G2c believe owning these bravely.

A 1230ko at Burnley is an absolute temporary depression victorian vibe every day is Sunday ... Think I went to a nil nil under van gaal and even the cricket ground cans was zzzzz. 8pm floodlit on a sat night will be a thing of beauty..hopefully a bit of mist and light rain. Have a soft spot for Burnley and their away followings... Love Burnley hate Blackburn and Bolton.

I think he will do something to shake it up. I think this could be the first step to redemption for Maguire. He comes in, plays a blinder and united keep a clean sheet for the win .

0-2 to the reds

At this stage I rather he play the youth ahead of mcomtinay , maguire etc.

So many chances for these prats and they never take it. Always outstaying managers and members who are still part of a dressing room that leak whenever the going gets tough. Sick of them.

Genuinely hope he doesn’t play The Scottish Player today

3 nil United. Rasmus hat trick

Mates on the 1pm train to Todmorden

Their fans will be beyond foaming at the mouth for this one so will be a tough 1st 20 mins.

2-0 united.

Bulb head broken

I’m like the Sergio Reguillon of the forum

Apparently we're debuting our 3rd kit. That's about as exciting as it's going to get.

I can't think of a worse match to be playing when we're in bad form. They'll be bang up for it and so will the crowd. Our bunch of fannys will surrender almost immediately.

It's a huge match for how the season is going to pan out and could be defining for EtH.

We need to do our best to dull the crowd and keep it tight for the first half an hour. After that it should get easier. If they score early it will rapidly turn to shit.

I’ll gladly take a scuffy 1-0 win.

I'd gladly take a score draw. Beggars can't be choosers.
