Going for (L to R) Young-Rashford on the wings instead of Martial-Lingard. Cahill on LCB looks more vulnerable than Azpilicueta on the other side, so attack with Rashford on the right.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Ddg, valencia, bailly, smalling, blind, pogba, fellaini, ander, martial, ibra, mata I hope.
That's daft. He's in the best form out of our wingers.
I think he's an average player. I support him when he's in the team and I like him as a lad but we have far better players than him. Keeping Martial or Mata on the bench and playing Lingard is what constitutes daft in my opinion.
We beat them in 2012DDG
Valencia Smalling Bailly Shaw
Herrera Carrick Pogba
Rashford Martial
Zlatan
Is the team I would like to start.
Meritocracy IMO, he's earning a spot at the minute and that's healthy squad competition. I don't agree with dropping a player for a better name. Martial and Mata are better on the left and centre anyway.-------------De Gea------------
Valencia-Smalling-Bailly-Blind
-------------Carrick------------
-------Herrera----Pogba-------

-------------Martial------------
Is the team i want to see. We'll probably see Fellaini in for Carrick and Ibra up front with Martial on the left though. I think Blind and Young deserve to keep their places, and they're good tactically in a tough away game so who knows. Would be nice to see Mkhi get on at some point.
Like that but Mata needs to be in the team for me.We're going to win this...
This is where it starts for Jose - big win today then we go on a run
Come on boys
Fingers crossed!
Good team mate, but i dont see Carrick starting 2 games on a bounce.What with all the Young line ups. Martial is fit again and already building up momentum and form. 2 goals in his last 2 appearances.
As much as we need good defending we'll need even more threat going forward especially players good in one on one situations given the kind if game we're heading into and how Mou is expected to approach it.Last edited:
I'm sure people are predicting Young will start, not that they want him over Martial.Early word on twitter than DDG starts.
Both Fellaini and Young to start? I want to cry.
I know Fellaini has done well in his own tall way but he's just not the way forward.Was Lingard injured on thursday? As he was subbed, it might be a case of him starting today.Would love to go back to the Valencia/Bailly/Blind/Shaw backline. We've never looked as solid since after all the changes. Should be a good game or possibly another 0-0 bore draw but I think we're just going to edge it. All depends on who Mourinho selects and his approach to this game. Sooner or later we are going to need to show some statement of intent. I hope this is the game we do it.Young offers a lot of protection for Blind, but we really need him to offer more when attacking. I'm not sure he has that in him in games like this, but hopefully Ibra, Rashford and Pogba give us more going forward this time. Think they will get a bit more space against Chelsea
That stats all point to a draw or a loss.
So, that is what I predict.
I will go for a 1-1 draw. I don't think either manager wants to take a risk during this game.We really need to win this. A draw would be pretty bad, due to our recent league form.Hopefully we aren't too negative today. Isn't a must win but it's getting pretty close to that. Get at them and we'll have a good chance of getting all 3.
Well, that's part of being a fan. However last week the majority were expecting a loss to us. I saw some pretty bleak predictions even.
It depends, Jose might realize he's at Manchester United now and can opt to be more progressive as we'll value that over cold results.I'd go for
---------DDG
Valencia-Bailly-Smalling-Blind
-----Pogba--Fellaini--Herrera
--Mata------Ibra------Martial
There's a headline on Skysports how much of a blow it is for United that Rooney is missing the game.I'd go for

How will we cope?!I don't know. I'm terrified.ddg
val bailly smalling blind
herrera fella pogba
jesse zlat martial (Young)
will be our team.
He is playing better than Martial/Rashford/Micky so he deserves to start ahead of them, it is that simple.I think we really need a win tonight.
A win means ~3 pts off third having played City/liverpool/Chelsea in quick succession, would be fine with me.
A Draw opens a new gap between top 3 and the rest. Basically opens a three game deficit to make up for 3rd.
A loss would just reset everything; more than three games back and deplete any renewed confidence coming out of the fenerbahce game.We need to play better than we did vs Liverpool, we must go for the 3 pts a draw will be as the defeat I reckon.Anybody recommend a good city Manchester city centre bar/ pub to watch the game in today? Where's good for the best atmosphere, seats, etc?Im on holiday in Brisbane Australia at the mo and trying to find the United game... apparently we have a thing called Fox Tales at the house were at?
Can any aussie give me advice in terms of how to view the game please?Watching this with a Buddy being a Chelsea supporter. Let`s see who of us will cry at the end (maybe both as a draw does not really help any of us).
You're entitled to your opinion but Rashford for me isn't a winger. Martial should start on the left and Lingard on the right. Please explain to me how you would start Young over Lingard?
I love seeing Martial in the team in spite of his second season struggles and there is a lot I dislike about Young. That said, Young has had a lot of his best games in a United shirt against big teams and has rarely been a weak spot in those games. You gotta give him that.We need a win today, a draw is not enough if we want to challenge for the title.
You're probably right. I've only watched Chelsea once and that was against Leicester and so assumed that he was now a starter.Definitely want Lingard. He's confident at the moment, which is more than can be said for a few of our attackers.
Young could be effective off the bench. He always injects some energy which could be useful later on.
Wouldn't mind Martial or Rashford starting. Both could be decent today. Maybe Rashford as sub for impact.- Status
