No Idea For Nickname · Nov 22, 2017

Enough with adds, start already, will you? btw, did I mentioned I have 6/11?

RedDevil@84 · Nov 22, 2017

Do we have the formation?

Irrational. · Nov 22, 2017

I got 9/11. Illuminati confirmed.

LuisNaniencia · Nov 22, 2017

A lot of games coming up, so I expect a few changes tonight. I think Luke, Sergio, Darmian and Jess' could feature and it would surprise me to see Matic given the night off, with Fellaini and Paul given a run out to improve their fitness and I can Miki getting a game.
Sergio, Smalling, Lindelof, Darmian, Shaw.. Pogba, Fellaini, Miki... Marcus, Rom, Jess'

Well off tonight, lets hope my 3-1 to us is a bit closer to the mark

Nikelesh Reddy · Nov 22, 2017

Its a great chance for Lingard to stake a claim....Mikhitaryans been dropped again...

Lukaku to get a couple here I feel.

@TimScoreboard-Are you the Timscoreboard from Talking reds??

Not confirmed but going by the teamsheet it's definitely a back four.

Midfield could either be Fellaini at the base of a three or Pogba as #10 in 4-2-3-1

SirAnderson · Nov 22, 2017

7/11 for me, hope Zlatan and Rash and Luke come on to take me to 10 with the subs.

deafepl · Nov 22, 2017

Is Jose disrespecting Basel with this formation? Basel wants to win a game so badly, they are under pressure, one lose or draw, they are out.

RedDevilUnited369 · Nov 22, 2017

4-5-1??

Nikelesh Reddy · Nov 22, 2017

@TimScoreboard-Hey Tim,I"m devil26forlife,how's everything going?!!

6:38 PM - Nov 22, 2017

And again Martial starts.

I hope all the 'Jose-hates-Martial' folks are counting. They seem to have short memories once he's left on the bench for Rashford.

Don't see how it's disrespectful. If anything I feel a wee bit better about our defense with Blind and Rojo back.

Actually Basel can afford a loss as long as they beat Benfica and we beat CSKA

red_devil83 · Nov 22, 2017

Not sure what Jose was on about. Literally nobody except dumb journos wandering where Mkhi is :lol:

Camilo · Nov 22, 2017

Rojo! Bring the chaos! Jesus...

Irrational. · Nov 22, 2017

Lingard's idea of dribbling is running into defenders.

Anustart89 · Nov 22, 2017

Smalling's ball-playing ability is already pissing me off and it's only been two minutes :lol:

Strats · Nov 22, 2017

Lingard you fecking donkey :lol:

Massive Spanner · Nov 22, 2017

Jesse Lingard has one mode: run as fast with the ball as you can until opportunity to fall over presents self.

peridigm · Nov 22, 2017

Is this artificial turf?

pseudo_canadian · Nov 22, 2017

Shit final ball from Lingard.

J-Stander · Nov 22, 2017

Jesus Christ what is Lingard doing out there.

RedTillI'mDead · Nov 22, 2017

Interesting line up, quite a few injury recoveries, but still fairly strong. I guess Pogba needs match fitness so why not, but assume that means he is deemed fully recovered, I. E. Took more than enough time off already.

Lukaku maybe could have done with a rest.

Janson · Nov 22, 2017

Good attempt there Lingard.

Think I've underestimated how slow Blind is.

Rio just referred to Zlatan as a "phenomenal talent". Made me feel a bit uneasy. "Talent" should only be used for players up to the age of 24.

You should come to Norway. Young Zlatan would be a real up and comer here.

Irrational. · Nov 22, 2017

Blind chasing Elyounoussi was like watching an overweight tiger chasing a gazelle.

Players need games and we're playing ok but you can see the lack of sharpness from a couple

kouroux · Nov 22, 2017

Nice to see Rojo. I was afraid I was gonna be late with this date but it's all good now

Samid · Nov 22, 2017

Why don't you play like that for the national team Elyounoussi?!
