    Ah, so Erik's gone mental again. Fair enough.

    Hopefully it's good mental like playing Amrabat over Casemiro at DM in the cup final, rather than bad mental like putting Weghorst at 10 and shunting Bruno out to the wing...
    Didn't we beat Barcelona with exactly that set up?

    Maybe Mental Erik is Good Erik.
     
    Can people stop believing the bollocks about Mazraoui. Its basically a fluid 352, dalot will getting forward whichever wing he plays on (chance Mazraoui starts on the left) and the cb on his side will move over to cover, Lindelof will play centrally. It's obvious given the runs he was making for Onanas long ball against Brentford. If Mazraoui starts at number 10 then you can give me a tagline that reflects how wrong I was. Its NOT happening

    Didn't age well
     
    This is wanting to get sacked level of weirdness. I'd love Mazraoui to play a blinder but considering we have Amad, Eriksen, Zirkzee who can play as 10 this is insane.

    Not only do we have other players who can play #10, we don't have other fullbacks. We're playing a centre-back at fullback to play a fullback at AM.
     
    It is fact that Hag has stated that Mazraoui will be deployed as our playmaker. Whether that actually comes to pass while Amad take copious notes from the bench remains to be seen.

    Well yeah, it was surprisingly good the one time it worked. Not so much during the couple of months he kept doing it afterwards.

    If it happens it’s just a ridiculous decision. There’s no sense in it at all.

    Reminds of the kind of thing mourinho would do to send a message to the board
     
    This is a sackable offense. If we lose he needs to be left in Istanbul. He can get a hair transplant with his severance pay.
     
    Umm… wot? An attacking mid on the bench and a centre back at full back, so we can start a full back at number 10? What can you say? It better work.
     
    Yes you do


    To be honest, I'm more interested in the orientation of the backline looking at that. It looks as if De Ligt will be asked to defend the channel rather than be at the centre of the back 3, where El-Neysri is an aerial threats. If that is the case, I don't think it will last very long.
     
    Isn't that just somebody's guess? There's no way they could enforce that.
    No the teams have to present team sheets

    He ain’t gonna change the formation now as some sort of “gotcha” - especially when it’s a RB playing in the number 10.
     
    I think it's 5212/343 however you choose to look at it. 3 CBs, 2 Wingbacks and 2 mobile forwards.

    Onana
    Lindelof De Ligt Martinez
    Mazraoui Eriksen Ugarte Dalot
    Zirkzee
    Rashford Garnacho

    Hopefully it is that as I could get behind that decision for a tricky away game.
     
    It looks like a back 3 to me with probably maz and Dalot as almost wingbacks. Don’t believe that Maz is playing as a 10

    We should be careful up front too! If Garnacho runs over to the right side a bit too much he might get sent off!
     
    Very strange starting XI. Hope we’ll see Ogunneye and Amass off the bench
     
    He's a fecking dumb cnut. Get him out of this club before he causes any more damage.
