Apparently Tuanzebe was rubbish the other night though. Not sure he's properly fit yet. Like the rest of the team though, maybe stick Jones in with Bailly if he's fit or give Mengi his debut?

Apparently Tuanzebe was rubbish the other night though. Not sure he's properly fit yet. Like the rest of the team though, maybe stick Jones in with Bailly if he's fit or give Mengi his debut?I hope both Matic and Maguire are rested for this game. Surely Bailly and anyone else should be good enough? I hope Fred gets a break too.James and AWB out of this one.
Hasn't it been nice not to see Lingard or Pereira in lineups anymore?
Who'd have thought we'd play better without those two....
Yeah sounds like not that severe knocks but who knows.
This. Europa gets us a CL place too so focus on winning some trophies. Bit risky of course.Full strength tomorrow now after the draw and Norwich result. Semis could be stacked, but the Norwich draw is kind with the greatest of respect to them.
A Cup double would be awesome
No chance we take this lightly with the kind draw we've been given if we progress.

MartialWant united to go 3 nil up and then Rooney to score a worldie and get cheered by everyone. Wish I could go.I had a dream that Rooney scores two crackers tonight. And over celebrated both.
Knowing it's Norwich in the next round I'll be proper annoyed if we dont win later.
There's a great chance to go to the semi finalsIs this on bbc?
Depressing, thanks for letting me know.Rooney stats -
Played 6 games against United throughout his career. 6 losses. 0 goals.
Let's not tarnish that now, Wayne. Hope away fans give him a good reception though.Romero

Hope we'd be able to win this comfortably and rest our keys for Sunday.Last edited:
Yep and rival draws are tough enough. Would be true post fergie United to mess this upMust win game. Norwich in the next round is a good draw. If Ole wants to be here next season, a trophy would secure that - even if he finished 7th i reckon the board would keep him with a trophy under his belt.
Over to you, Ole.
We'd lose with that selection.
van Gaal says nah
Then none of them should play again. Derby are bottom half of championship and rubbish.
Wouldn’t be playing many if not any who are playing Sunday which is priority.
Placing leaves an eggs in all one basket scenario in which its Europa or bust. It's not a given we win Europa just because we want to. should leave 2 avenues into champions league open
For better or worse this is the line-up i think we'll go with. In my line up prediction I had Bruno & Martial coming on as subs...which may give an indication of how well i think the game will go with this side hahaWas thinking full rotation before the draw, now I’m thinking near full strength resting a few in 2nd half.

Bruno only if required, Chong and Matic can give martial and Fred/McT a break in 2nd half if it’s comfortable.Fred, Bruno, McT, Martial, Maguire all need rest. Few intensive matches are lined up so better give them a rest.Starting XI
Romero
Dalot
Lindelof

Score Prediction:
Derby County 1-3 Manchester United
I doubt Lingard, Perriera are championship level. But we are running out of option.
McT needs a rest? I don't get it...Last edited:
I wouldn't say McTom needs a rest, potentially used with caution as to not overplay him too soon after coming back from injury
Shaw, Maguire, AWB, Fred, Martial - all potentially need a rest with weeks aheadFred and Maguire birthdays today. Born exactly the same day uncannily. Hope they both get a rest today and the team give them a win as a birthday present.
He just back from injury. Hence need to be rested in between.
Top 4 only. A distant second is Europa, and a very, very distant third is FA Cup.
We have been extremely fortunate that Bruno has hit the ground running and made such a huge and immediate impact on our performances. We should remember that we are only one injury away from desperation again. The squad is still thin and still needs to be rotated. We try to win every match but we can't play our best XI in all three competitions.
Winning silverware is great for the club, the players' morale, and the fans, but we need CL football. 4th place guarantees we get it. Europa is an energy-sapping competition with some crazy distances traveled, we need to use our B-team (if they can be identified). We have seen that we are blunt against teams that sit deep and defend, and that is probably what the Europa minnows would do, and we can be shocked by whichever club is the new version of Midtjylland.
Focus on the league.
Totally agree. We are pushing it to the limit with Harry.
Strikes me as the type that will walk through walls to play every game, he needs resting. We still have CL qualification to play for, can’t risk him.Think we'll go with the diamond again, seeing as we've no wingers.
RomeroGive Bruno a rest, bring him on if we're struggling.

3-1 to us. Rooney to score a consolation and get a standing ovation from the entire ground.Lots of people saying to rest Bruno but does he need it? Not sure and can't be bothered to look it up but surely he played less games in Portugal than our guys here like maguire? Or was he stacked up playing lots while he was in Portugal?Romero
