Ah look, 11 wet paper bags.

If this was towards our lineup, you deserve banning on the spot.

Adisa · Sep 23, 2023

You just get the impression we will get bullied off the park.
This team hardly fancies tough battles.

Judging by Ten Hag's pre match comments, Mctominay brings power and energy in midfield. Yeah, I seriously have my reservations over Ten Hag's choices.

Wait he really said that?

Feck me he's full of shit

So when he lies, he is full of shit. When he tells how it is: "Why did he say that!? Should have lied, Mr. Scapegoat's feelings are hurt!"

Whatever he says never good enough for Caf managers.

Asger · Sep 23, 2023

Will be an easy 0-5. Hoijlund hattrick and Rashford two goals!

jesperjaap · Sep 23, 2023

Is this the worst starting back four we have ever had?

Andycoleno9 · Sep 23, 2023

If we can't beat Burnley then we are in serious trouble

JagUTD · Sep 23, 2023

Praying to the gods that Onana doesn't feck up

dannyrhinos89 · Sep 23, 2023

That team depresses me.

So bloody bad in defence.

Superunknown · Sep 23, 2023

Aaron Ramsey looks a little...different to how I last remember him.

We have something called an academy. We used to use it to fill in on the odd occasion. Instead we continue to use the same players that put in zero effort and have failed several previous Managers because... and yet we expect a different result due to magic?

These players need a kick up the arse, they need to be embarrassed and benched by an academy player that will actually play for the team instead of sulking.

Agree. Also, one of the few players we actually sold was Fred. Who I know wasn't amazing but you couldn't fault his effort

The injury list is absolutely shocking, what is causing it??

pocco · Sep 23, 2023

They've got a lot of energy so we need to match it. Koleosho is a danger.

All it's missing is Ashley Young

DJ_21 · Sep 23, 2023

Diamond formation. I think the 2 ST will split and leave space centrally for Bruno.

I still have the image of McT jogging back after losing the ball in my head...

Yes he's really going to bring "energy"

Hannibal yes, McT, no...

I saw Bruno and Casemiro doing the same. Not to mention Rashford. I feel McTominay has been hung out for dry based on one situation. In general, McTominay is one of our most energetic players and he and Mejbri together might be what is needed for this game.

once had Varela, Carrick, Blind, Rojo against Arsenal in 2016

Amar__ said:
Mctominay is literally second least energetic player in our squad. After Martial obviously. But Martial plays wide, unlike Mctominay who plays in midfield. And even Martial tracks back unlike Mctominay who spends game jogging.

But he’s not replacing Martial. He’s replacing Eriksen who’s as mobile as I am

RedSky said:
Got nothing to do with the defense. If Casemiro and McTominay jog around as usual then it doesn't matter who's at CB. Defense needs protection and those two haven't been up to it.

If Burnley turn up and actually put effort in they'll create chances tonight.

Burnley play good football; them creating chances is inevitable.

Evans was integral to a 11 game streak without conceding, sure it was 15 years ago but…

Garnacho was 4 years old then…

Tim Sherwood is not a fan of ETH. So anti

LvG was the last manager to use the academy properly, and look what happened to him

Luckily we're known for our energy.

We had Carrick and Evra (I think) as CBs at some point

Why do we need "having energy" against Burnley anyway? We should be dominate them with skill, not trying to adapt to them. Eriksen should have started this.

Acole9 · Sep 23, 2023

TNT think we're playing a diamond? Can't see that happening.

skc_18 · Sep 23, 2023

Can’t understand the lineup. Hoping for good performance from Hannibal and Mct

daveskimufc · Sep 23, 2023

I don't mind Evans starting, my worry is that lindelof is so passive Burnley could really bully him

No Idea For Nickname · Sep 23, 2023

Come on United!!!!!!

dannyrhinos89 · Sep 23, 2023

Who told kompany wearing a baseball cap with a suit is a good thing?

DJ_21 · Sep 23, 2023

Every time I see Burnley fans chanting it reminds me of inbetweeners movie :lol:

Snow · Sep 23, 2023

Kompany takes time to greet every person on the United bench. Uncommon decency in football these days.

Jazz · Sep 23, 2023

Come on!

Cpt Negative · Sep 23, 2023

Gonna be 2 down in first twenty mins

always_hoping · Sep 23, 2023

As I said on page 1 of this thread "Mount,Varane to feature and Amrabat to make his debut but it's doubtful many if any of the trio will start" so no surprise other than Mount not named on the bench.

Not easy to predict any starting Ten Hag team, so many injuries Martinez the latest. Evans his replacement highlights the lack of strength in depth. Mejbri,McTominay starting might add a big more energy to the midfield?

Don't care about the performance and scrappy Man United win will do me fine tonight.

He doesn't need to replace Eriksen. Hannibal is starting and Bruno can replace Eriksen.

Toblerone92 · Sep 23, 2023

Sherwood talking absolute tripe.

DJ_21 · Sep 23, 2023

Looks like Hannibal AM Bruno RW

philippexyz · Sep 23, 2023

Rashford selfish again...

48 hours · Sep 23, 2023

Weghorst like pressing from Hojlund

Except our players constantly give the ball away, playing us into trouble...

The injury situation is ridiculous, and is allowing underperforming players to keep their place, because there's no one else to bench them for as they're all fecking injured

All that money spent and we are in this situation.... perhaps if we had a DOF...

I'd also forgotten Donny existed....

Rashford ffs pass :lol:
