Fascinating forward formation.
That’s all the alliteration I have for today.I didn’t watch alexis at Arsenal very much, what is he like through the middle ?
Matic is still a "villain", and Mou the "Evil Mastermind" for reasons we'll see later in this game.
He had one bad game vs Brighton and was subsequently dropped to make room for McTominay on the bench. You know the rule.... certain players have many bad games and receive multiple chances, and other players have good games followed by only one bad game and it's punished with absence from the 18 match day ad-infinitum.I'm not confident in that lineup at all and Bournemouth are a pretty good, organized side.
If we can have a good, convincing win today it'll be a good sign for us. My prediction is a scrappy win insteadWhat's the story with Rom, lads? Is he just getting a rest or is it something more sinister?
Unfortunately it probably means we are gonna play crap, it's always like that
11/11 , have Lukaku as a sub but not on bench .Jones instead of Bailly, Mctominay instead of Pereira? I like first 11, a lot. But bench is strange. How just how Jones can get a place instead of Bailly? Or Mctominay instead of Pereira?Alexis will definitely play through the middle today,who knows,maybe this might reinvigorate him....I wonder why Lukakus not even on the bench,I really don’t think that he’s been dropped from the squad.Hes probably picked up an injury....
I don't see that in games. He looks like a technical dribbler, who weaves inside & outside to create chances. He's no pace hound.
Yeah, not that fast. He's not Aubameyang or Bale. He's fine, he's about as fast as Pogba. I never said he was slow did I.
Yeah, I agree, love this team. Not saying, but lets hope for a gutsy performance. Wish: to See Sanchez and Anthony score.
Height.IMO Sanchez will have to be employed differently than we do Lukaku in that central position. Now, I'm not looking for City fluidity, however, we hopefully have been training with a dynamic approach that utilises Sanchez centrally the way City utilise Aguero. Also, this means that there will be more pressing (hopefully) since Alexis is a busy bee compared to Romelu.

Mourinho explains Lukaku absence
Speaking with BT Sport, the manager explained:
“In training yesterday, after the press conference, he felt something that needs to be studied in the next couple of days. So Lukaku has not come and we decided to start with Alexis.”
Why Lukaku is out.
That's too vague.If this Lineup doesn't work, Im actually done. This is the lineup ive been crying about for ages (minus young but he will do). Ofcourse I will still need mourinho too instruct them to attack and not rest on their laurels.
Cmon boys I need a replay to watch everyday for the rest of the week like I did with everton.
He is. Players that run with close control don't look as fast as kick and runners. I'd rather have Martial running the ball than Rashford
Considering what Mata did prior to the 2-0 goal against Everton - he deserves to start again.Maybe Martial will play through the middleHerrera over Matic any dayGlad to see Lukaku dropped for a change,its for the best. Hoping Nemanja Static is next
Also hoping Alexis plays up top as the CF
It's not even that game. He was by far and away our best player throughout the pre season and this should've been rewarded with a proper run of games. Let Matic fight his way back into the team. Like Luke Shaw got. He nailed down his position and Ashley Young had to fight for another position which he's now got at RB. That's how it should be. Andreas wasn't given this opportunity.
Yeah, this. It looks way to interesting to end up as anything than a major catastrophe)Unfortunately it probably means we are gonna play crap, it's always like that
30 more mins -- must win, get the feckin 3 points.
Best player in the league in 16/17 playing through the middle.Would have preferred to see Herrera, but oh well. Maybe he can come on second half?
Cannot be surprised surely. Been woeful the past two months, needs a complete restHappy with Sanchez been given a shot up front but it has come at the expense of Mata being pushed out wide,who has been playing really well for us lately.From the banks of the Irwell...Ten out of eleven, not too bad. Let's get an early goal here.11:48

Am I the only one that interpreted this as Lukaku being left out because he needs to study?
He definitely needs to revise his first touch and finishing.
Loving the team, hope we deliver.Wonder if they've told Lukaku to lose weight?Mourinho is smiling and everyone likes the lineup. Therefore expect a shit performance and I suspect I’ll be calling for Mourinho’s sacking after the game.I just hope it's not Martial up top with Sanchez on the left. Pretty much any other combo (Sanchez up top with Martial on the left, or both of them up as strikers) is exciting to see how it works.
Sanchez especially needs a good game or a solid outing at least. If we can get him and Martial scoring we will be looking very strong.- Status
