[Varun]

You reckon we'll score?

Can United score?
They never score.

 

[Android1974]

One of the centerbacks could man-mark Dele Alli, no? Maybe Jones or Blind.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

Jose just giving Rooney some games to say goodbye.

 

[coolredwine]

So defensive.

 

[SirMattBugsby]

Looks to me like

DDG
Mata- Tuanzebe - Bailly - Smalling - Jones - Blind - Lingard
Carrick - Rooney
Martial

Yup. 6-3-1 would be a bit too adventurous for this game

 

[jderbyshire]

De Gea
Tuanzebe Bailly Smalling Jones Blind
Mata Carrick Rooney Lingard
Martial​

 

[Sylar]

I wish we would just play some youngsters in positions that are needed. Do we seriously not have a CM youngster that can play next to Carrick?

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Was going to say it'd be funny if Jones played midfield.

Not really. He's done it before. Looked after Ronaldo and Ozil when Mourinho managed Madrid.

 

[zeekey]

Really tricky one. I hate seeing us just letting this slide because we want to grab the CL spot with an europa league victory. Just imagine our faces if we don't succeed on that day, and not to mention the pressure.

It'll be a blessing so our faces will be joyous and thanking Ajax for doing us a favour.

 

[red4ever 79]

Wondery why CBJ doesnt get a look in. Thought he was quality under Van Gaal.

 

[The White Pele]

No Dembele for Spurs is a plus for us

 

[Janson]

Hope to see Rooney with a lot of interchanging with Martial on the left and Blind as well.

 

[Skills]

I think it's clearly 3 at the back.

Realistically between 5 and 7

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Some naysayers will definitely appreciate the energy and industry that Herrera brings to the side with the state of our midfield.

 

[King Eric 7]

It's going to be painful watching that team I reckon.

Mourinho knows that Rooney is finished. I guess he's just ramming the point home to the last few people left in the world who still think he deserves to start every game for us.

 

[stretford_oslo]

Not sure if this will be worth watching.

 

[Shark]

What little importance this match had is completely gone now, with that Liverpool win. Meh.

 

[M Bison]

Was going to say it'd be funny if Jones played midfield.

At least he's mobile and could match Wanyama's strength, Carrick/Rooney would be chasing shadows and get bullied.

Not saying its ideal though!

 

[Fracture90]

Didn't Jose say he would never play Rooney as an #8 or #6, always a #10 or #9.

He also said he loves specialists, not jacks of all trades, yet Young kept playing WB/RB/LB, Darmian LB/RB/WB, Mata LW/#10/even WB, Pogba DMF/CMF/#10, Rojo LB, Lingard RW/LW/#10/SS, Fellaini DMF/CMF/AMF/#10/CF/SS, Mikhi RW/LW/LB/WB/#10, Rooney LW/RW/CMF/#10.

 

[Janson]

Aren't most people lineups minus Lingard? I for 3/11 as I forgot to submit a team. New low for me.

Haha yeah, same happened to me.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

The feck? Why not just play a decent line up when you have nothing to lose?

 

[Random Task]

Poor team on papar + low expectations from the fans + no pressure = guaranteed win.

Honestly can see us getting a result today.

 

[hobbers]

feck me what a shit line up.

Playing Bailly is obvious given his red. But why the feck are we also playing Jones, Smalling AND Blind?

Rest Valencia who basically never gets injured but play all of our centrebacks at the one fecking time?

 

[dichinero]

Realistically between 5 and 7

Give the even numbers a chance. I say between 6 and 8

 

[Shark]

He also said he loves specialists, not jacks of all trades, yet Young kept playing WB/RB/LB, Darmian LB/RB/WB, Mata LW/#10/even WB, Pogba DMF/CMF/#10, Rojo LB, Lingard RW/LW/#10/SS, Fellaini DMF/CMF/AMF/#10/CF/SS, Mikhi RW/LW/LB/WB/#10, Rooney LW/RW/CMF/#10.

It's the United way man. Whoever the feck we hire as a manager ends up fecking our most creative players about all over the pitch.

 

[Jazz]

I know the result today is irrelevant at this point, but do not want to get embarrassed...

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

It's going to be painful watching that team I reckon.

Mourinho knows that Rooney is finished. I guess he's just ramming the point home to the last few people left in the world who still think he deserves to start every game for us.

We can probably pinpoint when Jose started to give up on making top 4 when Rooney started making the lineup again.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

9/11 pretty happy with that.

 

[Fracture90]

Nice presentation from Spurs.

 

[Janson]

Realistically between 5 and 7

Spurs will get a taste of our dirty negative football.

 

[AndyJ1985]

feck me what a shit line up.

Probably trying to get Jones and Smalling up to match fitness in a meaningless game,. It doesn't really matter

 

[M Bison]

I'm re-writing my prediction, think we'll win this. Its only fecking spurs.

 

[el3mel]

Could it be ... ?

 

[King Eric 7]

I know the result today is irrelevant at this point, but do not want to get embarrassed...

You have a point. With this team Mourinho wants a clean sheet and will settle for 0-0.

Blind is the issue, the others need game time.

Jones and Smalling massively lacking match fitness. Judging by their performances against Arsenal, they need to get up to speed sharpish.

 

[AndyJ1985]

Could it be ... ?

A Carrick Jones and Rooney midfield is the stuff of dreams

 

[Random Task]

Really tricky one. I hate seeing us just letting this slide because we want to grab the CL spot with an europa league victory. Just imagine our faces if we don't succeed on that day, and not to mention the pressure.

It will be something akin to this I would imagine:

 

[red4ever 79]

Happy to see Tuanzebe play, but dismayed that Rooney starts again. Offered absolutely nothing against Arsenal. Does the U23's not have any strikers?

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Resting players or not that team is truly embarrassing

Spurs will put 4 past us.
