    Feck, I would've had 11/11 if not for Maguire. Though I am happy to see him play, hopefully we're not rushing him back.
     
    Matic as a one man midfield. Well, at least we're trying something different. :(
     
    Lets stuff em lads. Need a big performance!

    Maybe he meant dull as in fewer absurdly under/overhit passes and comical pratfalls in midfield leading to opposition goals? Like a circus would be dull without the clowns acting clownishly?

    like this place would be without the constant hyperbole about how bad Fred is?

    No McTominay makes me happy, Maguire rushed back makes me a bit nervous. Would have liked Bailly pace v Vardy.

    Still go with a score draw.

    Without McTominay, our midfield will be weak. Who plays his position and his role better for United?
     
    Predictable enough line-up. Only real question (once Ole confirmed Maguire trained on grass yesterday) was whether it'd be Sancho starting on the left or a double pivot of Matic/McTominay.
     
    Pogba - Matic in midfield... If they score first we're fecked.

    Don't rate him and definitely prefer the midfield 2 that is playing. My opinion, you are free to disagree of course.
     
    Wait that makes no sense. Martial scores last week and is dropped entirely. Why is that?
     
    Glad to see Maguire back and Matic in the team. Unfortunately, Rodgers has stopped messing around with Iheanacho and now has Evans back too, so I expect them to have a strong game.
     
    I personally would’ve dropped one of the three behind Ronaldo and added a midfielder (VDB or McTominay). Our lack of control in games and wide open midfield when countered is starting to get annoying.

    Having said that, I feel pretty confident that we’ll get a result today. Leicester have been a bit crap.
     
    The Pogba Matic midfield is either good or terrible, rarely in between.
     
    The optimal XI, given the circumstances. There can be no excuses, apart from horror refereeing or beach balls, for not shredding the Foxes to tatters.

    I am so sick of that outlook as well... Good thing is, that Leicester is without Ndidi and play 3 at the back. Wasn't aware of that... could be a good move for that game. But it could also backfire quite a bit.
     
    I just noticed Rashford on the bench :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

    Hope we see him come on at some point today.
     
    More confident with that lineup just hope Maguire is fully fit it’s a long season.
     
    Good to see Martial did enough for Martial FC to resurrect. Hopefully that keeps Donny FC down for a while.
     
    Maguire only just started field work a few days ago, I hope he's fit enough!
