    Fred, Cavani, Maguire, Varane and Rashford probably the guys out for this. Rashford at least on the bench though which is nice. Generally would avoid starting Pogba and Bruno together in just about any game with the current coaching staff since they don't know how to make it work (if possible at all). Van de Beek probably won't start but he's been alright next to Matic most of the time IMO. Big game though!

    Would go with this lineup. Better balance to the team.

    when you think about what happened to liverpool last year after missing van dijk it is a bit scary that we now lost our two best defenders. really hope we win and harry is back soon

    Liverpool weren't missing only VD, they were missing all their defenders unlike us, we still have two good defenders fit and ready to play.
     
    Looking at some of these lineups reminds me of the wealth of world-class talent we have. Competing for the title should be a given.

    And I'd say loosing VD was a bigger deal than us loosing Maguire. On the basis of pure playing ability and on-field presence alone.

    Though i'd like to see Sancho start as well. Maybe Ole will play him on the left, with Pogba instead of VdB.

    Not optimistic about this one at all.

    Matic is the only option unless Fred somehow gets back in time. I feel McTominay can only play the box-to-box role and that's only in certain games. Scott and Pogba just left a huge hole against Villarreal and I don't recall Scott ever sitting well.

    Bruno was a part of that as well

    When McTominay and Pogba played against the same opponent in a double pivot in the final they dominated the game (although granted Villarreal also parked the bus)
     
    Was really hoping Maguire would be back for this, apparently he hasn't even trained yet, so looks like he's out for Atalanta too. I think this is what we could see, unless he puts Pogba in MF with Matic and plays Greenwood up top.

    Replace VDB with MCT and that's your team.
     
    Are people who have VDB in thier side wishing this or really believe he will start?

    Here's to hoping for a drastically improved performance and a win.

    Here’s hoping. I’m not holding my breath though.

    Only thing that’s making me cautiously optimistic is the fact that we tend to play better against better teams.

    Although, I’m sure that was also pretty much debunked by couple of posters. We’re very meh against pretty much everyone but we’ll not let that get in the way of a bit of blind optimism.

    Leicester have been fairly poor this season and are also missing quite a few. I don't fancy us to look overly exhilarating, but I think we'll scrape a win. We've only won once in the last 3 league games, so really, a win is needed.

    Oh, aye forgotten that Leicester have been poor this season. Cheers for that. My confidence level have just went up a bit. We do need a win badly. I can’t stomach the weekend otherwise.

    I suppose, my big concern is that Vardy has looked sharp this season, and he'll be up against Bailly and Lindelof presumably! Given our run over the next 2 months, a win is kind of needed!

    Yeah I love the place. But then I live in hereford, so anywhere that isnt a hellish cross between the 1970s, deliverance, and the village of the damned is appealing.

    :lol: Never been Hereford, you sell it well.

    Cardiff is pretty good in fairness, when you live somewhere you only see the negatives I suppose. Was brill when the Millennium stadium (now the principality) had the Cup finals when the new Wembley was being built because it’s bang in the middle of town. Wish it was used for more footie tbh.

    Agree that's the starting 11 baring any issues with them. No DVB hes on the bench again. Hope to see Rashford back maybe on bench

    Hardly a ringing endorsement for them two given we ultimately lost the tie though. I just can't see McTominay ever being our deepest CM as he doesn't show for the ball. It's a shame we seem to be set with our current formation too given there's clear issues.

    Im a newport boy originally, moved to Hereford in 90, I cant recommend a single thing about it. I keep trying to persuade the Mrs to move back to gods own country, its a work in progress :lol:
     
    Apparently Rashford is back for this one? Would start on the bench I'd imagine.
     
    Given the games coming up we just have to win. I can't say I'm brimming with confidence just due to how ordinary we've looked so often this season so far.
     
    I think this will be a tough game after the international break. We have lost our 2 best CBs in that time and have to use Lindelof and Bailly. They're both great defenders but I doubt they can work together and can cover each other well. Anyway, they're pretty decent and must do a good job. I doubt Ole will start Rashford because he has just recovered. Maybe a cameo in the second half for him.

    De Gea
    AWB Bailly Lindelof Shaw
    Mctominay Pogba

    Please don't start Fred.

    Bailly's always played quite well vs Vardy tbf
     
    knowing OLE as i do, he will not wanna lose this game and he will wanna cover his centre backs so im expecting a negative line up...
