Interesting to see a back 3/5. Gotta think it suits Shaw way more than it does James.
Most managers will be making tons of changes though these next few days.

Well the most important thing is Fred + mctominay with Bruno in front.
Must have missed those games as Telles has been massively underwhelming and nowhere near outperforming Shaw.The tinker man strikes again.
You new here or something?
Microanalysis, criticism, irrationality, blind loyalty, madness are the hallmarks of the matchday thread.
If you're looking for sense, you'll have to trawl through the posts with fine tooth comb
Ranieri back?
Main worry I have with Bailly today is that Mike Dean is the ref.We were always going to see plenty of changes over this period, unavoidable really. I hope it works out, a win today would be massive. We've got a great record on Boxing Day too
(bound to lose now)
True I guess, but anything with James in is him tinkering when he has quality players on the bench. I just had a sudden epiphany that James may well be our new Lingard for many years to come.He isn't tinkering then.
Hold me...I really don't know which United will show up and that's the biggest worry
Hopefully clinical fast United show up
This is the biggest problem. We are so unpredictable, which can be a good thing, but can also be very, very frustrating.
I think today is all about the finishing. I can see us creating chances, but we need to take them. That first 20 minutes vs. Everton was ridiculous. All of the play, all of the pressure, all of the chances, but we couldn't put them away. Hope we can do that today.
I know, that's what I'm saying, if he's playing RWB it's harsh on him.You new here or something?

My posts aren't that difficult to find.
Which also makes us incredibly watchable and not boringI'm in agreement with others, not a great line up, really hope it isnt 352.
I hope it works because it looks too obvious of a poor decision.Interesting line up, but Ole has earned the right to be trusted with it, at least in the short term. So let me sit back and watch and hope to be smiling at the end...Expecting us to start cautiously and not pressing like crazy like we did against Leeds.
Why? because that drained the team. It was the most we’ve run all season. We will have to be smart with our energy output today.
Hope Ole and the conditioning coaches prove me wrong. The boys looked shattered after Leeds. Some even played against Everton if only for a little bit.Think we‘re going to get done today ...Vardy
I had to engage a historian from the British Library and Imperial War Museum
Fatigue? Already?Thought it was going to be a tough game, and after that line up, it just got tougher.It isn't 3-5-2 according to Ole, didn't think it was.
Apart from his willingness to cross at every opportunity available, Telles hasn't shown anything to deserve starting over Shaw yet.
He's a bang average defender and without Cavani providing an aerial threat in the box, Telles's supposed better attacking skills are non existent over Shaw.For the bedwetters
The scriptwriters need to tell the refs today that favoring United could boost league ratings with a Title challenge. Im sure nobody is interested in Leicester chasing the scouse.A backup RB is becoming a pressing concern. If AWB were available then it would have been 442.
Think Vardy will get done today... Bailly.
I think so. We’ve been playing an abnormal number of games this season. Every week was CL week! We have not had a week yet without a midweek fixture in quite some time.
That's very harshFeel like Scholes says “I’m not really sure” too often for someone literally paid to offer insight
feck. Didn’t know he was reffing today.Well I like the personnel from the Leeds game being back, Pogba, Greenwood etc can play on Tuesday against Wolves but unsure about changing formation again.
I guess we’ll see.
The last time I saw Bailly up against Vardy live at OT, Bailly bullied the shit out of him
*Tut*
Think Bailly will get done today... Injury.
Show ref!It's inhuman to have to play soccerfootball at this time of a Stephen's Day (Boxing Day for Brits). Imagine the ref's tummy. Mike Dean sprinting around, with the turkey churning in his innards as he lumbers along.
He just said bailly is cb? Unless your taking that to mean lindelof is rb?
I took it to me 3 5 2I think it is our usual shape with Lindelöf at RB. He has played there before.
Don’t we have a poor record with the celeb ref?Scholes being savage to Savage- Status
