Cardiff City 1:5 Manchester United

cj_sparky · Dec 22, 2018

I'm still excited. But Young.....Jones.....Matic......Meh.

Would prefer to see Dalot and Fred or Andreas.

Thought Matic might finally get dropped. But hey ho.

Adisa · Dec 22, 2018

No Dalot has me vexed b

When it doesn't happen, they moan and throw around blame.

This. Some of the teams being thrown around over the last few days have been really daft.

Ole was never going to make too many changes in his first match after only being here a couple of days.

I did think Bailly would start ahead of Jones and thought Dalot might have a chance ahead of Young, but otherwise it was as expected.

It's a shite known marketing way to force the app but I didn't expect a football club to do it tbh.

It is awful. I use newsnow to get the news for the "Today at United" updates, and half of the stuff from the official United site are "app exclusives"

Judas · Dec 22, 2018

Bit of a shame Dalot isn't starting, but hopefully the next game.

Shane88 · Dec 22, 2018

Any excitement for this game has been drained by seeing that prick, Jones, starting.

Tom Van Persie · Dec 22, 2018

That's not very polite. He is still our player after all

Nah you can do one. We don't know exactly what's happened with Lukaku but compassionate leave is never good news, is it? I just hope his family are okay. No need to make shitty jokes about it.

Oh quit fecking complaining.

Usual tired moaning unfortunately.

evil_geko · Dec 22, 2018

Good to see Matic keeping his place in face of haters! Can't wait for kick off, come on Ole!

christinaa · Dec 22, 2018

Yes it's mostly the same players but then let's see:
1) if there's a change in tactics;
2) if the players will suddenly start playing like the Chelsea players did after Jose was sacked there!

Smores · Dec 22, 2018

I suppose we have a lot of games so hopefully for our next match he fields a substantially different side

sglowrider · Dec 22, 2018

Looks like a Jose team... Let's see if they play differently.

Ace of Spades · Dec 22, 2018

Not surprised by the line up at all, Ole has just started and he is not going to make wholesale changes in his first game. A new system and style will take some time to implement.

You do one. If you cant accept a bit of humour then I feel extremely sorry for you.

Didn't I hear that our new manager would bench Matic, the main reason why we have been terrible? And play Fred and Perreira? Now Ole is next to be blamed if Pogba doesn't perform.

He won't have his favorites. That's why we blamed Jose . Blind favoritism.
Everyone will get a chance ole said over the next weeks.

Red Dreams · Dec 22, 2018

I picked Matic as a sub.

never mind .

Ole must have heard good things about Jones.

Kapardin · Dec 22, 2018

Flytan said:
It's essentially the same team Jose would have played if he didn't hate Pogba

Yep. I'm not sure rushing Lindelof is advisable either. Matic I expected to start since for all his faults he's an old head, but I expected Bailly and Fred to get in a look.

Phil Jones though.

But ok, I'm willing to withhold criticism and see how it pans out.

Ole pretty much said himself that Carrick and McKenna would pick the team for the first match - he probably had his input, but yeah, don't blame it all on Solskjær.
And pay attention!

jymufc20 · Dec 22, 2018

Smalling injured ? Also poor Fred, can't catch a break can he.

El-Manos · Dec 22, 2018

Matic & Jones should not be starting.

Apparantly he has watched a lot of our games, which means he must have seen a lot of Jones. No oh wait!!

Red Dreams · Dec 22, 2018

We have so many games coming up.

Everyone will get games .

ice-bionic red · Dec 22, 2018

Young out Dalot in

Matic out Fred/Pereira in

Jones out Bailly in

That would have been perfect but decent start Ole

I get your point but that should not apply to Jones tbh. He's had more than enough chances.

I agree. Could be his last chance.

Red Defence · Dec 22, 2018

Might have a go at picking the next team. Had no luck trying to pick Jose’s teams.

100% agree

Judas · Dec 22, 2018

Feel so sorry for the Lingard haters, Ole is clearly a big fan of his, better get used to seeing him starting plenty of games, as usual.

Poor Fred? Poor Mata ffs. Imagine having all that talent and seeing Lingard starting in front of you

Carrick and McKenna had a huge say in this i would imagine. Carrick had to let his buddies Young and Jones play. Matic probably plays because he is the most defensive midfielder we have on paper.

Matic

He said everyone will get a chance, best to give the chance to the bad players against the bad teams.

Well that's what i am hoping anyway.

AgentP · Dec 22, 2018

10/11. My mind said Jones but still went with Bailly.

tyunited · Dec 22, 2018

Jones

Cathy Ferguson · Dec 22, 2018

I will be monitoring our usually not so energetic left hand side of Shaw, Pogba and Martial today to see how they respond.

Greck · Dec 22, 2018

acnumber9 said:
Tell that to this forum who cried about his team selections non stop. Matic plays because our other options are no better. Same goes for Young and Jones.

Because under Jose you could already deduce the tactics from the lineups. But yes people need to calm their tits. There's barely an indication we're picking these players to try and play the same shit. Expect Pogba to be further up and Martial to be more than a defensive winger

Red Defence · Dec 22, 2018

Everyone will get games. This is only one match and he’ll pick the players to suit the opposition.

pseudo_canadian · Dec 22, 2018

Jones to have the performance of his life tonight. Just watch.

Random Task · Dec 22, 2018

How will we line up do you think?

-----------DDG------------
Young--Jones--Lindelof--Shaw
-----------Matic----------
-----Herrera---Pogba------
--Lingard----------Martial--
----------Rashford---------

Would be my guess.
