Is that a prediction or a preference?

Yeah because Spurs were rock bottom you will see what happens on Sat

If we play the same way we did against Tottenham I guarantee you it'll be nothing like the Liverpool result.

Preference.

Would like Ronaldo and Bruno fresh for City and I think Dalot would unlock Sancho better than AWB would.

Ah fair enough, I do agree with resting Bruno for the weekend and we should play Pogba for sure. Dalot worries me though for obvious reasons. :lol:

largelyworried · Nov 2, 2021

Feeling pretty relaxed about tonight, think we'll win it comfortably. They still have big injury problems and their squad was never exactly bulging in the first place. Plus I think we'll just sit and play on the counter attack in the ample space they always give you. I think we could score 3 or more tonight. Only question is clean sheet or not.

Feel like Bailly would be fantastic in a 5-3-2. Let's him pull all the crazy shenanigans he wants because he has additional cover at the back.

I know what you mean, he's a liability at the back but it would be interesting to see how he gets on in a system of 3 CBs to supplement his defensive deficiencies. I don't think Ole is brave enough to take on that kind of risk, though.

Oh yeah I’d be up for seeing it, I want to see more rotation regardless so this would make perfect sense.

We’ve had 1 game in the last 10 days! Nobody needs a rest

Fair point, but we play city 12:30 Saturday and it’d be a nice luxury to have Bruno completely fresh. Saying that it might be more prudent to get ahead and then sub Bruno ott.

Agreed. Also, with Varane's composure alongside him, God forbid we might actually see a rational Bailly.

The last time we played him in one he was horrible and had to be moved to RB.

Which game was that? Don't remember him playing in a back 3 at all.

Stevondo8 · Nov 2, 2021

Are they still riddled with injuries?

It is really down to what Manchester United turns up.
I am moderately optimistic for the simple reason that we have got to win.

One of those ties against PSG, last season I think.

I’m excited for the meltdown when the team is announced and we’re playing 4-2-4 again

I listened to a united podcast that had an Italian correspondent on earlier and I believe they said they were, but the centre back who was a bit of a live wire is back (you know the one I mean :lol:

).

No Lindelof means you might be right.

Nicoseth · Nov 2, 2021

Think we'll play a back 3 of Maguire, Varane and Shaw. Telles and AWB as wing backs.

I do too, the only thing that makes me doubt moving Shaw is that it means reshuffling maguire and Varane into CB and RCB, so they might just keep those 2 where they were and put Bailly in.

In that case, Rashford and Ronaldo up top, AWB to keep that left forward guy quiet instead of Dalot, will probably be fine then. Even when we were poor in first half we created 3 really good chances, so I’d expect chances for us to continue but to be a bit tighter defensively with the 3 CB’s

IIRC, wasn't it the first leg at home against PSG where he started RB of a back four and was hooked because his head went and was close to getting sent off? It was the Paris leg we played with 5 and won.

Could be wrong, but in fairness, he's not a RB.

I wouldn’t be opposed to that at all.

We're gonna smash 'em.

sewey89 · Nov 2, 2021

How many of the Atalanta players that were missing from their second half in GW3 are back?

You may be right. It's hard to keep track.

Last time we made Shaw a centre-back and Telles a wing-back was at Leipzig. So, you know, I hope you're wrong.

A lot of "reds" will be positive for an Atalanta win im sure.

Someone said 5 still out, Demiral (went off HT) is fit though. Regardless, we should be winning this.

Highfather_24 · Nov 2, 2021

Yeah, I think we will win this too. Atalanta will play right into our hands.

Dec9003 · Nov 2, 2021

Really hope we get another good win and keep the momentum going. Another clean sheet would be a bonus too, it’ll be really interesting to see what team we go with.

RedIan · Nov 2, 2021

Dont think ole will play cavani, he was cramping up v spurs and played the full match. Save him for city.

Offsideagain · Nov 2, 2021

Atalanta were ‘riddled with injuries’ at OT and did quite well. Ole should put out his strongest team available and get a couple of goals lead then sub the older guys and bring on more pace to keep Atalanta occupied. I hope to God we win or this place will be on fire as will the Internet.
