That's a shite lineup. I can only assume Rashford & Lingard over Alexis & Mata because we want pace on the break.
Rashford at #9 means we are probably going to need several chances to score.
Fred cost more than Bernardo Silva, and he can't get in. Sums up our recent transfers.Our left side should be ok with Shaw, Fellaini and Martial. Herrera is going to have his work cut out covering Young on the right though and I have no clue what Rashford is doing starting. Maybe Mourinho thinks his pace can get behind the City line on the counter, but that would require him to actually be able to finish.How the feck does Rashford get in ahead of Sanchez?Sanchez got a knock in the Juve game, probably that combined with other factors.
Personally I wish we started fred and brang fellaini on from the bench at 60 minutes, but I do think hes not ready for a high pressure game like this at the same time.
I fail to see who brings the ball forward from midfield on our side... I guess we are trying to bypass it which is probably wiserLingard... based on what?? feck meAlexis is probably not fit enough to start. It was reported he had some knock or minor injury. At least he's on the bench.Pogba out, Souness now redundant for the day.Strong defensive midfield, as expected. If they can keep the ball at times, Rashford pace running behind the defence could be a solution. But the problem is we probably won't be able to bring the ball out on counter attack.
Fellaini was starting either way.Dodgy lineup, lingard really needs to be at his best today.Sterling, aguero, Silva x 2, Mahrez
Lord have mercy on us todayAlso how in the feck has Jose been here for 3 years and only two of his signings are playing today, Matic and Lindelof, one who's been underwhelming this season and the other we only play because everyone is else is worse.
That Fellaini, Rashford and Lingard still regularly start for us shows where we are.Zero creativity in midfield and only one good finisher in the attack.
Huge blow not having Pogba. Think the decision to start Lingard ahead of Mata is shocking considering the form of both.
Expecting city to run riot down our right due to Lingards lack of positional discipline. Least Sane isn’t playing.Pretty happy with the lineup.
It's rubbish that Pogba's injured but there wasn't anything we could do about it.
Plenty of energy and speed upfront, it's just whether or not the midfield can find them.Without Pogba I'd have definitely started Mata.
We have zero midfield creativity
What's shocking about it.I might swap the Guinness for Scotch.
I think the biggest thing is the team losing belief without him there!We'll win this.. 2-0Herrera and Fellaini will do well to avoid sending-offs in this one I fear.Lingard on the right and Matic, herrera, fellaini in midfield... this will be a rough watch. No ball progression or creativity at all in midfield, nothing at all on the right wing. Only hope is a random hoof that rashford runs on to since there wont be decent balls for him to hold up, or if Martial manages to pick the ball up in our own half and dribble past everyone. Or a hoof to Fellaini to knock down to rashford or martial. Not much hope here though. Was always a long shot but the lineup doesnt help.Pogba injured lukaku and sanchez not fit enough. Right there is why nobody can compete with city. Anybody notice de bruyne has been out? Me neither
You.
Not at all.. Souness mentions Pogba during matches of other clubs so this wont stop him from mentioning Pogba.I'm going to go out on a limb and say that midfield is not going to work.Hoping the rules have changed recently so we can bring Mata on like they do for field gaosl in the NFL.
He’ll still mention himStill think we'll win. 1-2.At least Phil Jones is on the benchWe have a pap team. Look at it.
Might still get something by playing super tight but if City get some steam behind them they will struggle.Suddenly my optimism went from about a 6/10 to a 2/10.
I'll be delighted with a point.
If pogba was fit?
We needed aat least Fred or Mata and keep Fellaini back as the impact sub.Matic is going to look appalling today, you watch. Like a pub player. They will completely over-run us in midfield and up front, we'll be lucky to get away from that cesspit with a 2-0 loss.
Good idea!Lingard over Mata.... why?
Sanchez should start over Lingard. If hes fit enough for the bench.
Agreed.Odds are 8/1 to beat City.- Status
