Huddersfield Town 0:2 Manchester United

We will play full strength or close I would guess. Textbook mourinho.

Hamilton > McTominay

Canagel · Feb 17, 2018

No Pogba. The game just became 10 times harder. We are down to the bare bones in midfield. It was a big mistake to not reinforce there during the January window. The state of our midfield...

Thought Blind was injured as well?

Oh great. So Matic - McTominay and no backup.
Mata or Lingard as a 3rd if needed.

Jig1234 · Feb 17, 2018

I hope Luke Shaw and Mata start today.

Of course they will - there's a QF at stake.

Who would have been available?

Yep

AlwaysRed66 · Feb 17, 2018

Pogba goes down with the dreaded bug that affects all players in dispute with their manager & clubs.

Anyone that might've been planned for the summer. Or at least another option for greater depth. A Periera should've been recalled. Matic has been the only mainstay in the midfield this season. Pogba and Fellaini have missed large parts and Herrera isn't good enough. Carrick had his heart problems and can't be relied on. If Matic picks up an injury we're fecked. Simple as. We shouldn't have allowed ourselves to be in that position. Man City were willing to splash 60 million on Mahrez to cover for Sane who's already back. They have plenty of options already but they saw an opportunity to bolster their squad (although it failed) and we should've done the same with our midfield. I'm worried about the state of the midfield in terms of depth.

Samid · Feb 17, 2018

Add Hamilton @Niall.

Was pretty obvious we should have signed another in the summer.

Pogba being rested for CL I see.

Oh boy. I forgot about that.
Imagine going into a CL away with just Matic as a fit senior midfielder..

edit: Forgot about Carrick

We'll be fine

el3mel · Feb 17, 2018

We're entering the match with only 2 senior midfielders, Scott and Carrick. :lol:

Adisa · Feb 17, 2018

Don't know why the fixture wasn't moved to an earlier kickoff.
We have an away CL tie to prepare for.

Matic?

Matic?

Will he play today ? Thought he'll be rested for the CL.

DomesticTadpole · Feb 17, 2018

Hamilton played the whole game against Chelsea last night, so surely he will be on the bench.

I think he'll play - the CL is still four days away.

Seems our hands are forced. Herrera has been injured in the worst possible time. Hopefully will be Ok before Seville.

I won’t have a chance. @Damien you about to add Ethan Hamilton? Leave his photo blank I guess.

Norris · Feb 17, 2018

@Damien, Ethan Hamilton to the lineup predictor please.

Kapardin · Feb 17, 2018

Going to watch Black Panther and then back to watch the game. KO time couldn't be better for Saturday.

I know we are a bit choked for options in midfield, but hopefully we get to see some fluid attacks and a couple of nice goals.

TMDaines · Feb 17, 2018

It’s been several months since I last was dreading a game as much as this one. Huddersfield are one of the worst PL teams I’ve ever seen at OT, but we’ve already lost there this season, we are so inconsistent away and are often out fought and out classes, and they will be right up for it.

Please fecking turning up, lads.

I think it was a choice between us and Chelsea and they put them on Friday because they'll play Tuesday and we got Saturday to even it up because we're playing Wednesday.

Android1974 · Feb 17, 2018

All this s… stirring about Pogba's position, but our recently restored balance was thrown out of the window with Sánchez’s inclusion on the left.

Yeah, will add him.

redchamp · Feb 17, 2018

Not looking forward to the inevitable media shitshorm about Pogba. Could do with a win to ward some it off.

IRELANDUNITED · Feb 17, 2018

A lot of people putting Romero in their teams. Personally I can't see De Gea not playing

Added @Niall @Ijazz17 @Samid

Niall will give him a picture at some point.

Good, hopefully people actually pick him now so that I can climb in the rankings.

No Pogba,Herrera or Rashford. Our midfield 3 is going to be interesting
