Agreed. We should treat Leicester like PSG away last season. Our form is too awful to risk going mano a mano with them, or any other team in the EPL for that matter.

Chelsea beating Wolves is no foregone conclusion
They are at home and will have had significantly more rest than us.
We might get the result we need. There's no good reason to be remotely confident about it, though.Vardy the prick is guaranteed to score isn't he?For some reason I’m glad we’re playing away from home.Safe to say from today's performance that Leicester will be
Probably, will want to cement his top scorer status too.They’re going to have to attack us so we will surely get chances on the break? We need to get the lead if the scores are level with 20 minutes to play then we will bottle it like you’ve never seen before as we’ll be playing for a drawDon't shoot me but with Rashford's form, could Dan James get a start on the left? Surely there's going to be room on the counter as Leicester need to win and they have injuries/suspensions in defence.
Rashford will play and he’ll score. Quote me on it.
Why?
Surely it's no big disadvantage to be away given that there are going to be no fans at the game?
I'm still confused..
Here we go..

Oh, I get it now. Thanks.
Your post helped inspire in setting this table up.
CL qualification chances
United - 7/9 = 78%
Chelsea - 7/9 = 78%
Leicester - 4/9 = 44%
So on the last day of the season we drop one of our best players for a championship winger who can’t dribble past a player?I fear that we will lose this game. Too tired and a strategically one dimensional manager. Our best hope is that Chelsea lose to Wolves.Why does everyone want to change the front 3 all of a sudden, that's the one part of the pitch that has been dependable.
Even on their worst days they create match winning moments.
I thought Rashie looked out of sorts today. Wouldnt mind seeing him come on fresh early in the second half against Leicester. Oggie to startWe need fresh legs and energy.
Romero
AWB - Bailly - Maguire - Laird
TFM
Fred - McTominay
Lingard
James - Ighalo
He's had one bad game out of 9 and it's time to drop him? Despite this the guy played a match winning pass to Bruno, and had a couple really good moments.
He's scored 17 goals and made 8 assists in 30 games, ridiculous to even consider dropping him. He could be the difference in qualifying for Champions League football going by his output alone. Not to mention the chances he creates per games.
That’s his first test
I’m not so sure About that team , there’s too much creativity thereDDG
AWB
Bailly if fit
Maguire
Shaw if fit
Fred
Pogba
Greenwood
Bruno
Martial
Rashford
are you being serious?
not sure about only playing 10Pogba has to sit this one out, for several reasons, but mainly cos he looks knackered, not bothered and we need grafters who will run their socks off for this final game. Same goes for Matic. I would go for Fred and Scott and give Bruno ten energy bars and a few protein shakes and get him on the pitch .
Is dalot fit? Get him in at RB cos AWB is knackered too.
What about Shaw?DDG
AWB Lindelof Maguire Williams
Mctominay Fred Pogba
Bruno
Martial Rashford
Oops fixed
I know Seyoncu (sp) is still banned but are Chilwell, Perreira and Maddison still out for Leicester?We’ll be fine. We’ve done terrifically well to get ourselves in this position. Our front three are dynamite. Bit of rotation in midfield and Shaw back. We have to go there to win. Shackles off, front foot stuff.Argh!!!! So fecking nervous for this now.
This is pretty much our most important match since the EL final and we’ve started playing badly again. Just rest everyone until Sunday. Massages, ice baths and tactics! I doubt there’s too much tough physical training going on the last few weeks anyway to be fair. I would be very tempted to put Fred and McT in for Pogba and Matic and bring the lads on it we need them. We desperately need some energy from somewhere
Aye and Rodgers is a canny manager. He'll know we are knackered and target our CBs and fullbacks to get runners in behind. Expect to see gray, Albrighton vardy making those runs and overlapping from Pereira and chilwell.
I'm actually shitting it.
Both are injured and have been for weeks
Can we also register Ole as player-manager and play him instead of James.
I just think if we start with all three we’re throwing all our eggs into the one basket and have nothing to change the game if we need to which I think we will. Leicester will come after us early on so I think we should keep it tight and bring Rashford, Pogba and Matic on second half. It also freshens the team up which we desperately need to do.
Don't forget Maddison's creativity and Söyüncü's towering headers. We are in for a rough afternoon.
I'd rather we start well so we can make changes without being forced to make changes.I think you'll have nothing to worry about here.
We have a poor record against United at the best of times (since we've been back in the Prem, I think the only time we've got a win that I can recall was the famous 5 - 3, where Di Maria scored that beauty, before Vardy ran you ragged and screwed over Rafael) and this squad is crippled with injuries. It's also very mentally fragile (I'm sure I said that on here before the Bournemouth game, but I think that just proves my point) and while we steamrollered a lot of the lower teams earlier in the season, we have bottled nearly every 'big' game this season when the pressure has been on. We've also been pretty awful in the whole of 2020.
However, it's pretty much a cup final, and we'll have had more rest, so I'm not ruling us out completely though; it also doesn't look like you are in great form either.
I think we might get a goal (hopefully Vardy, to cement his golden boot) but really I'd expect you to get two or three. If we go out chasing the game, we're going to lose - Spurs pacy forwards just showed how slow our oil-tanker back-up CB's are. Morgan has been ok, but Bennett has been a liability, and both our full backs are very inexperienced. Our best hope is to set-up shop, try and get one on a break, and then ride it out for the rest of the game.
I'd quite like to score a couple of goals early though, because I'm going to be a nervous wreck.Give Shaw the horse placenta and don't practice until Friday!Either team could easily get smashed, so it'll be 1-1Season defining game. Need to get a result by any means possible. Can't afford to get overrun again, which is a likelihood given they're fresher. I wouldn't mind a midfield diamond of Matic, Fred/Pogba, McT and Bruno at the tip, with just Martial and Greenwood up top for starters. Aesthetics can go for this one. We'll rest up and reset after.- Status
