That would've almost made it my ideal 5-3-2 tbh. The only question mark personnel wise then are Ronaldo + Rashford at CF and if they can make it work.
Yeah I think the reasonable thing to do is to stick with this formation this season then next season when Pogba leaves we can get a DM and have a balanced midfield.If I'd looked at the thread earlier I'd have gotten 10/11 as i didn't know about Lindelof, obviously Ole wasn't going to rotate the defence after 1 game. I knew Pogba would start but I thought it would be next to Fred or Matic as him and McTominay never play well together. Personally I'd have started Cavani over Rashford but I knew the golden boy wouldn't be left out 2 games in a row.
Will be interesting to see if he continues with this formation. Especially after all the arguments about the likes of Conte needing to spend more on players to suit his different systems, which Ole has now adopted. Ole will need to spend more on players if he wants to change system, plus the likes of Sancho will probably not have a true place in this team, so Ole has probably just wasted money on an aborted plan.
It might actually be the case that we'll be looking for a new manager that can stop us from wasting what we have under Ole.
Cavani had some issues with cramp on the weekend so it's no surprise he's not starting.
I think we'll mix up the two formations this season and then try to get in the right midfielder to go back to what the management wanted to implement this year. That's if Ole is able to hang onto the job.
Ole and Scotty will be sitting in a tree for the foreseeable future. Whatever you choose to call it, Scooby Doo is Ole's security blanket or good luck charm. No point in trying to make sense of it. I hope he comes good. Hard working, likeable kid with decent skills but I can't see him becoming the next Lampard or Gerrard like Ole seems to be convinced he is.
If you're not too bitter about the recent events ..
I think he'll go back to the 4-2-3-1 eventually. There's a pretty gaping DM shaped hole in that line up and I think they'll buy a playmaking #6 next summer or in Jan (hopefully someone not named Declan Rice) and an attacking RB to give us flexibility to execute both line ups.
I think the squad building is fine even if a new manager comes in in the summer.
When did Ole say that?
Nah , a draw away from home in the CL group stage is always acceptable, SAF went out and played for a draw more than once.Is this a huge game for Rashford?
A lot of people questioning his work rate and pressing. He's back from his niggling injuries of the past year or two, has had a few appearances to build up match fitness, and arguably a front 2 really suits him. Feels like he has an opportunity to really push on from here, but he'll have to show the same determination as Cavani, and show he can develop a partnership with Ronaldo.
Yeah I think this is a needs must reaction to the Liverpool game when we were all over the place, go back to being difficult to beat for a few games then look to be more progressive. Our next league games are city, watford, Chelsea and Arsenal. I expect 532 for all of them (except maybe watford) then it’ll be back to the 4231 (or, preferably, 433).Anything can happen, just never know what we’re gonna get these days.
Yeah those were the days when Old Trafford was a fortress. Now it's an amusement park apparently.Tough game. A draw would be a good result.Ffs, the Cafe likes the lineup
Pre match interview Ole looks really deflated already - am I on my own thinking that?A draw wouldn’t be the end of the world, but think we can win this. Going for 1-0 united with a late Bruno winner. Go on lads!
No I noticed that too. Probably bricking it cause he knows he has to get a result here and at City.
I thought that. Somebody at BT must have annoyed him recently.The NegaCafe convinced so many that Ole was treating Bailly like trash and it made them not even consider him for a start.
never thought I’d say this, but I hope we have Savage on commentary
Shiiite!Ffs, the Cafe likes the lineup
Yeah he was subdued.
That's rude!
Yeah and it swings so fast. Sometimes between halves.Stating the obvious, we have to finish on our chances. That’s largely a function of confidence. Are the boys confident? We shall see.Will be a handy game. They play like Leeds in that they are insanely open.Come on United!Why are so many of our players groping themselves during the anthem whilst the Italian side stand with their hands behind their back?Ronaldo's grin
Thought the exact same thing.le la laaaa
le la laaaa
Well, he certainly is not Lampard or Gerard but he actually is that type of player but we're playing him in defensive midfield.Kick-offWe're gonna batter theseDamn we are stacked. I honestly think we have the best squad in Europe. Even our bench is something- Status
