    For some reason after the game midweek I'm actually quite confident today will be a comfortable win for us. Think we'll up the level and be too much for them.
     
    Same team but Sancho in for Wout. It is a bit of a shame to move Rashford from left wing but Weghorst just doesn't look like a Premier League player unfortunately.

    Not too worried about Fred, he's usually a lot better than he was last time out.
     
    We have no option but to play Fred who has not got a football brain. Unfortunately for us, McKennie and Adams do and will have him on strings again.
     
    Id go:
    Dea Gea

    AWB
    Varane
    Shaw
    Malacia

    Martinez
    Sabitzer
    Bruno

    Pellestri
    Rashford
    Sancho
     


    So Sabitzer and Fred in mid. Sancho and Weighhorst seem to be the 4 confirmed.

    Probably Sancho, Wout and Rashford up top.
    Midfield Sabitzer, Fred and Bruno.

    Looks like Malacia and Dalot in defence.

     
    Even with the shitshow Fred put up last time, I don't see much of an alternative to this, unfortunately.
    He never seems to have two atrocious games in a row though. He'll have a worldie today to ensure he keeps his place, and then have another shit show in two or three games' time.
     
    I made the mistake of believing in this team last time and got served a shower of shite. It’s become clear to me it's a bit of a nothing team without both Casemiro and Eriksen. And neither will be present for this one. Could barely scrape a draw against them at home. Not confident at all.

    Take the day off
     
    Was wondering if Varane might be dropped after Wednesday. Wouldn't surprise me if we go Lindelof or Maguire.

    Dearie me! If it was a “nothing team” then we wouldn’t be anywhere near the position we are currently in the league table nor have a cup final on the horizon.

    We are still a work in progress and dropped points are go to occur here and there from time to time. No team is going to go the full season winning every game.

    True. I would expect at least an acceptable performance from him today.
     
    Varane was moving weirdly at times on Wednesday wouldn't be surprised if he was rested. If Martinez isn't available either we are fecked.
     
    A game for Shaw to warm up back at CB in prep for Barcelona? Martinez is suspended for that first game.

    Warthorse starting away at Leeds is just asking for another pointless performance from him up top.
     
    It’d give Mainoo a go here:

    De Gea
    Dalot Varane Shaw Malacia
    Sabitzer Mainoo
    Sancho Bruno Rashford
    Weghorst
     
    Nah Leeds wasn‘t running in behind us. The issue was at the base of midfield.

    Above all we need to be composed in attack.
     
    We just need to grind this one out. I dont care how it looks with Newcastle and Spurs dropping points
     
    If true, I’m wondering if ETH thinks it’s worth the risk to rest them today based on the fact rivals have dropped points this weekend, we have Barca on Thursday, we can’t play Vartinez today, thurs and Sunday. Leeds are in relatively poor form despite the result mid week.
     
    The reason I had confidence today was because Varane and Licha were behind the midfield and they’d be more settled 2nd time around.
     
    Getting 1 point out of 6 would be maddening against these.

    Martinez is suspended for the Barca game anyway
     
    Varane being injury prone was always gonna be an issue but against teams like Leeds Maguire is not such a bad option anyway. But wheres Martinez?
     
    Where the hell is Martinez and Antony surely can't still be injured?
