I hope we play Phil Jones upfront and Grant in net tonight.

 

[KM]

He's been spot on with lineups recently. I'd post it on the live updates thing but the server for the frontend is down.

Okay Ole, could have made it less obvious that you want to screw over Scousers but whatever mate.

Ole increasingly seems to be levelling himself. Oh well, let's see how it goes.

 

[OohAahMartial]

Would be shocked if McTominay doesn't start though. And Darmian? Seriously? Don't believe it.

 

[wr8_utd]

I'd not play Lingard here. Being a local guy, he's more likely to be up for it. Bring in someone like Martial who won't be arsed.

If the lineup is correct, I can’t see anything other than 0-4 again. Actually we will lose no matter what team we pick so why even bother

[christinaa]

Looks like Utd are increasingly likely to help Liverpool achieve a historic League and CL double.

It is Historic for them - but we did the TREBLE!

Yep. Playing a back 3 has guaranteed a loss for us so far, and Ashley Young or Darmian in a back 3 to boot...what to say, Ole really doesn't want Liverpool to win the title.

Stop getting my hopes up.

No ‘big side’ have beat us this season at OT apart from Spurs I think?

 

[Camy89]

I'm conflicted.

Half of me wants us to play magnificent, flowing football and screw over City with a big juicy 3-0 or something. To watch us really connect and pass our way through them. That would lift fans morale and get us out of this slump in form.

Then I remember the past couple of games, Everton in particular, and the fact that some of these guys don't deserve to wear the shirt with some of the shit they have been producing. Barely stringing 3 passes together, ridiculous hoofball, not offering options, Lukaku pointing to god knows where. Then I think, 'they'll hump us, absolutely hump us'. Would I be angry at that? Not really, they're lightyears ahead of us currently.

And that's what scares me, the fact I'd be pretty 'meh' about losing to City. How pathetic we've become. Feck some of these players.

 

[TMDaines]

Mother of all storms just started in Stretford

Stop getting my hopes up.

We've also beat no-one at home. Watford are the best placed team in the league.

 

[Class of 63]

Hope at his very minute Ole has got them in the team Hotel sorting out in what sequence our defenders are going to score own goals tonight, can't leave anything to chance, there's far too much at stake.

There is no conflict *hissing*

 

[christinaa]

He got them under Mourinho as well. Guess he's friends with either a player or member of staff who is close enough to know.

So can anyone repeat this line-up please?
Thanks.

By the way, is Slippy/nice backpasser playing??!

 

[dove]

I think our record against big sides is quite terrible this season. Lost vs spurs, psg, barca, drew vs liverpool and arsenal. We still have to play city and chelsea, hard to see us getting more than 1 point from these 2 matches.

We’re drawing tonight aren’t we?

They will be celebrating in the streets of Merseyside and Oslo whilst we cry into our glasses of Blue Moon.

I’m nervous.

 

[AaronRedDevil]

We are gonna lose about 17-1 aren't we

Obvious sarcasm

 

[ArjenIsM3]

Yeah wtf is that lineup. Young and Pereira and no McTominay?

 

[SharpshooterTom]

Obvious sarcasm

Nah its likely to be our best performance of the season rivaling that of PSG and Juve. And Liverpool fans will be getting the champagne ready.

 

[arnie_ni]

If ashley young is back in its a fecking joke. He should have been left in Barcelona. Total shite

 

[Damien]

De Gea
Darmian
Smalling
Lindelof
Shaw
Young
Pereira
Fred
Pogba
Lingard
Rashford

 

[Canagel]

Young won't play. The manager isn't that stupid.

 

[bond19821982]

Nice one Ole.just screw the scousers and play a strong team on Sunday .

 

[reddevil702]

Starting to get excited/optimistic about this game. Just hope it's not a repeat of Everton and the players show they care.

 

[Class of 63]

I've got this horrible feeling we'll somehow win tonight and against Chelsea at the weekend, then only take one point from the last two games and miss out on T4 by a point.

 

[extincti fugax hominum]

Just don't make the scousers PL champions. Let them do it themselves. Hope they put this on TVs in our dressing room before the game. A Pogba assist to Agüero would be though.

 

[Random Task]

That would be a shame as Chelsea are the the team that is most important to beat. Then Huddersfield and Cardiff and hope Arsenal and Chelsea drop more points.

Top four is still possible even if we lose tonight due to the competition being just as shite as we are

 

[Sassy Colin]

There will be much grinding and gnashing of teeth and rending of garments this evening.

 

[The Firestarter]

Young...Sterling must be feeling

 

[mu4c_20le]

I would've tried to find a way to start Bailly and Rojo, but im sure Ole knows best. Don't feck this up City.

 

[Sassy Colin]

I hope we smash these cnuts, tbh.

 

[podurban2]

Young starting, we don’t even need to hope City wins. Ole does it for us with that decision.

 

[Random Task]

De Gea
Darmian
Smalling
Lindelof
Shaw
Young
Pereira
Fred
Pogba
Lingard
Rashford

352 it is then.

Pep says thank you.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

352 it is then.

Pep says thank you.

Can we have one of their players as a proper thank you?

 

[rpitchfo]

Are we losing yet?

 

[Kaglish10]

Would be shocked if McTominay doesn't start though. And Darmian? Seriously? Don't believe it.

To be honest, if he had deployed Darmain in the place of Young, I won't have problem with it. Darmain is actually an ok defender but awful attacking wise. However, seeing Young in the lineup is making my head ring. Why is MCTominay not starting? Ole seems to be destroying his good works by himself. And I hope Lingard deserves this chance he got.

 

[Schmeichel=God]

352 it is then.

Pep says thank you.

Could it not be a 451 like this?



Of course I thought 352/532 with Darmian as RCB but this is not the game to slap Darmian back in to an awkward do I stay or do I press position.

 

[AgentP]

I'm shocked McTominay is not starting. Ole resting everyone for Chelsea maybe.

 

[jymufc20]

Are we losing yet?

No, we have already lost.
