While Pereira is not good enough he’s at least a footballer and has presence in the midfield, we’ll be slaughtered with Lingard and Matic midfield. Very stupid.

I agree. The only thing Lingard does better than Pereira is running with the ball, and he is not very good at it.

Everything else, passing, crossing, pressing, Pereira is much better than Lingard.

Both need to be replaced. Feck, our squad is shite.

We need pace. It’s the right choice if they play high full backs. If they defend low, we will put Greenwood. We need game changers too, otherwise if we can’t change what do we do? We can’t always put our best team straight away to have a chance to win.

Been defending Pogba consistently but even my bullshit meter is starting to go off a bit now.

RedPed · Jan 1, 2020

Don't care what's going on with Pogba either way. Just hope that Ole is being straight and not giving out any BS.

But we have to deal with the job in hand now and that is smashing those Gooners. The thought of how giddy they'll be if they win is doing my head in. At least we have options off the bench. Arsenal's defence looks really ropey and they've got Pepe starting. Looks like they're going all out attack.

Arsenal is going to press high, this is a good use of Lingards pace.

I hope they throw everything they've got at us as I genuinely believe there isn't a more effective counter-attacking team than United in the Prem.

FootballHQ · Jan 1, 2020

After seeing the line ups think Man. United will comfortably win this.

Could be similar to FA cup game, Arsenal being picked off on the break.

1-3 again.

What else do we have for that position?

A lamppost? Play Andreas there, anyone except Matic.

It’s obvious we need to hit them on the break, like the City game where Lingard was class.
If we can hit them quick with our front 4 creating good movement we will batter them, let’s hope we can do that.

Lingard and best lineup in the same sentence? You joking? Pereira while not perfect at least has something to offer.

Did you even watch the City and Spurs games. You might not like it’s but Lingard was effective in both. His pace will help against high pressing teams.

Anderson played well against Liverpool & scored a pen in the CL final. Should he start too?

Lingard is a midtable Championship level player. He wouldn't start for Leeds or West Brom, he is the worst footballer in the squad & has absolutely no business starting games for United.

M Bison · Jan 1, 2020

The problem isn’t Pogba not playing, it’s all the media hype surrounding it. It’s massively distracting for the management and players.

I fancied us to win tonight with or without Pogba but I’m concerned about how we’ll respond now and the added pressure it brings.

NewGlory · Jan 1, 2020

Our disappointing side aside, the truth is - the only player on Arsenal side who is not utter trash is Aubemayang. AWB and our CBs need to immobilize him. A lot depends on how well our defense plays. Would have still wished to see Williams instead of that flop Luke Shaw, so we could have had more tooth in the attack.

MyOnlySolskjaer · Jan 1, 2020

Arsenal going for it with their lineup. Much stronger than expected.

Yeah, he can't excatly say "feck him, we're selling his sorry ass" if we want someone to pay up some cash for him.

The injury shit is always gonna be a good excuse for a player wanting out.

It is our best lineup without Pogba and Mctominay. What did you expect?

I expected a player that hasn't contributed any goals or assists in 30 league games to not be the focal point of our attack.

I don't buy it at all.

Fergie was right all along. Raiola took all our money while Pogba sabotaged the previous manager and is trying his best to sabotage this one. If it not were for Ole's status at the club, he might have succeeded.

He's our best player individually and the most toxic part of the squad. I hope he's sold soon.

Greenwood could argue otherwise.

Already a scapegoat if we lose then.

Matic for MotM.

Hmm...

I think he is gone this time,sounds very much like his comments just before Alexis went to Inter. Make no mistake Mino could be putting the wheels in motion as we speak.

I am gutted he has taken Gomes & Chong but decided to not put either on the bench.

They're light as feck.

No Guendouzi is a blessing.
Xhaka is a hack, probably get sent off.
Ozil wont track back for shit.
Auba and Laca and good, but Pepe is wank.

If we don't score at least 2 against this defense we should retire.

They will definitely score at least 1 against us.

PlayerOne · Jan 1, 2020

If Ole is being honest about Pogba then our medical team is worse than I thought and I had very low expectations of them.

AshRK · Jan 1, 2020

Arsenal fielding a strong line up. This could be a turning point for them. Depends on which United turns up. Tricky game this.

Murder on Zidanes Floor · Jan 1, 2020

Pogba is off this month I reckon. A shame but I hope we get £200m for the man.

RonaldoVII · Jan 1, 2020

Arsenal's front 4 can cause us problems but don't expect many players in that 11 to dig deep when it gets tough

Adam-Utd · Jan 1, 2020

Whatever happens this isn't good news.

He's either;

Refusing to play.

Ankle is injured again even after he thought it was OK

Potential transfer lined up and he might be leaving

Fallen out with Ole/club.

I just don't know what to think right now. It's a real mess.

Need to rotate and win so... Lingard job will be easier if he can control and pass back to the midfield and if Martial helps well. Martial and Fred playing well, Matic and Lingard not making mistakes is going to make us win.
