    Lineup makes perfect sense. It's like that in an attempt to keep our positive goal difference at the end of this match.

    Our three most skilled attacking players (Mata, Martial, Pogba) not featuring in a Liverpool derby. And there are still fools backing this manager.

    If you back Jose Mourinho you are an enemy of Manchester United and will be treated as such.

    The money in the game is different now. If we continue to fail and the Glazers decide to stop investing we will see such a gulf in quality open up between us and City/Liverpool/etc that we can never recover from it.

    So yes, Jose could bring about the end of this club. Just because we bounced back in the past (only because we lucked into the GOAT manager) doesn't mean we will do it again. Give your head a shake and think.

    Madness when you realize Lukaku is the only one to maintain his fecking position after Valencia game.

    Makes the Pogba thing a non-point to me. If you are rightly dropping Pogba because of performances, why the hell is Lukaku playing?
     
    Could it be 4-4-1-1?

    DDG

    Darmian - Lindelof - Smalling - Young

    Dalot - Herrera - Matic - Rashford

    Lingard

    Lukaku

    Oh please, what a load of crap.

    Pogba has been absolute garbage recently. Martial is coming back from injury and itsivery possible he's not ready to play the majority of the game, I expect to see him in the 2nd half. Mata's whole Utd career has really been nothing special.

    "Enemy of Manchester United" hahahah

    Don't fall for the bait. He's been using the same language for a while. Better to ignore.
     
    Going to be frikikn awful on the eye this one. If im sat in Klopps chair I'd be thinking what does that Utd line up say ? To me it says we will give you loads of the ball, we will sit deep, come and attack us.

    Absolutely no creativity in that side. Back 5 with two destroyers in midfield and two runners either side of a way out of form number nine. Quite rightly the scouse will smell blood today and go in for the kill !!!
     
    I think this is a decent line up for this game. Lukaku ( fitter now hopefully), Rashy, Lingard and Herrera to press Liverpool high up. Then we have three defenders and Matic to hold the fort. Dalot and Young to provide the width. Not surprised to see Pogba dropped since he's off form and also can't press. Martial not fully fit so on the bench.

    The same reason Matic plays regardless of form,they've never once dared to question the winning genius that is Jose

    Mata isn't starting :( Come on man. Mata instead of Lingardinho!

    I have a dislike for Lingard but i expect that he needs to run after a fullback and defend. He is better at that than Mata so it makes sense to play Lingard instead of Mata.
     
    Rashford against Clyne could get us some joy. Clyne has been out for months hasn't he? Lovren is shite too. Cmon let's have some positivity!

    We're finished as a top club in football I think.

    Jose will be the nail in the coffin. He'll get us 6th-8th this year, all our top players will walk in the summer and that will be the end. With no CL revenue the Glazers will penny-pinch even more than usual so we won't be able to replace.

    This is the end of this club.

    Either that or we're in the middle of a largely predicted period of instability after the Fergie years. We might be ok yet.
     
    If Pogba comes on and still puts in a sleepwalking performance then what on earth can you do ?
    Just keeping harping on about his late World Cup performance,while ignoring the fact Kante and Matuidi did all the running for him.

    But we already have Herrera doing that. We're gonna win the ball and then not have enough quality to do stuff with it.
     
    Fred has been terrible when played. This is not fifa lads.

    Martial is not 100% fit probably. Sanchez is injured. The only other option is Greenwood. But most managers wouldn't play a kid just like that in big game.

    I dont think we are going to do stuff anyway... preventing that Liverpool does stuff seems like the gameplan with this line up.
     
    Feeling slightly more encouraged seeing that Liverpool right hand side of defence. fecking attack it.
     
    Back 5 with Darmian at LCB I guess. This ain’t going to be pretty.

    He's really dropped Pogba because of his attitude rather than his performances though, hasn't he? They're not quite the same thing.

    Think this is highly unlikely to happen since our press is uncoordinated and haphazard at best while Liverpool is one of the best pressing teams in the world.

    Jose just can't be positive, he put that lineup and it shows how afraid coward he is. He is thinking not to lose not how to win.
