    For all this talk of Ole not knowing what he’s doing etc, he is doing right by Axel, he’s not picking Matic, has sold lots of deadwood, plays Mason, has bought very well and still conducts himself like a Manchester United Manager and Legend.

    I know we want good performances and results but our team was/is so shite, It’s going to take at least another summer window for us to get anywhere near a guaranteed top four side again, let alone be title contenders.

    I’d rather someone who clearly has a good head on his shoulders help correct past mistakes than another big ego manager ripping everything up and wanting instant success with costly supposed “world class” players.

    think, for once, we need to give this option some time.

    Far too sensible, get out of the Matchday thread :nono:
     
    Decent team, predicted Pogba and Rashford would play. Where is AWB? If the team had fred instead of Andreas, i would feel better. We could of even stuck Greenwood on the wing instead of Lingard but I get ole point about throwing too much pressure on the kid too early. Give him time to learn from ...... erm ..... Rashford?

    No, Chong I just think is dreadful.
    Gomes is about 5foot and I don't get it.

    Wat's not to get? He's not Mata, Lingard or Pereira who are mostly dogshit, he might do better, at least it's worth a try istead of doing the same thng over and over.

    Recently you can add "Perrery" or "Perry" to that list :lol:

    Ole should hire Perry Mason as some of these selctions are criminal!

    Are we the only team that picks attacking players based on how much they run about rather than creativity, goal scoring ability, etc?

    We're not exactly spoiled for choice at the moment. Apart from Greenwood, who else could we have started that provides us with creativity and goalscoring ability? Fact is, we really struggle in that department and it's something that needed addressing in the summer.

    The only reason I believe Greenwood isn't starting is because it would mean no strikers on the bench. Rightly or wrong, Rashford has got the nod over him tonight.

    I don't subscribe to the fantasy of sticking heads in the sand. Ole needs to prove he has what it takes before he gets my unquestionable support.

    If Ole is out of his depth, regardless of legend status, he should be sent packing. This sentimentality for past legends regardless of their qualifications will be the downfall of this club.
     
    Tonight was the night for me that I put myself in the Ole out camp. Absolute disgrace not to start Greenwood up front and revert back to Rashy. A coward's selection with Lingard and Perriera as well.

    Because our centre mid is shocking otherwise?

    I’d rather have another body behind him (Matic) than ahead of him (Lingard). Front six still has a poor player regardless, but Pogba is hamstrung too like this.
     
    Shiva87 said:
    Yes, very likely. Pogba and Scott may switch around but this is what it will look like.

    Andreas and Lingard - fingers crossed!

    Shocking team. Ole couldn't have picked a more underwhelming side if he tried. He must be clueless.
     
    Devil may care said:
    Pereira again? I got 10/11 though sadly, I wanted to be wrong about "Rashy and Lingy" getting undeserved starts but ho-hum, at least Maticisn't playing and I'm glad Axel is in ahead of Rojo even if he has to play RB, the lack of Greenwood starting is bullshit but par for the course.

    Who the hell do you expect to start instead of them.

    Greenwood isn't ready to start from the off against Arsenal.
     
    If Rashford really is fit or not...

    Why. The. feck. are Lingard AND Pereira playing ahead of Greenwood. We've established Rashford is a terrible no.9 already. Play him on the left and Greenwood through the middle. It's not rocket science.

    It's true though.

    He's played a grand total of 47mins in the league. No one even expects him to have played every game so don't know why there's a ridiculous need to create some fiction to defend Ole here.

    The only logical thinking can be that he doesn't get the ball enough further forward.

    AWB is ill. Greenwood and Gomes have both been ill recently. Are the players forgetting to wash their hands or something?

    They're United players, getting injured and/or sick, on a regular basis, at the most inconvenient moment, is written in their contracts. It's mandatory.
     
    Only bright spark is Young starting, otherwise we wouldnt have a single player out there who can take corners.

    Why panic then every time he doesn't start?

    Pereira plays on the wing. Not sure what you're complaining about.
    Click to expand...

    I new somebody would come with that comment. So you think Pereira's a winger? He's not a winger, that's just where Ole plays him. Peirera is a number 10 or a midfielder and Fred is better in both of those positons.
     
    The state of this place... It's like all the cnuts in the Manchester United facebook group comment section has become a member.

    Have you seen our squad?

    Tell me what would have been much better? Mata? Matic?
     
    I'd do much prefer it to be

    De Gea​

    Tuanzabe Lindelof Maguire​

    Lingard Mctominay Young​

    Pereira Pogba James​

    Rashford​

    Agreed.
     
    Just saw a headline on BBC that Tuanzebe was in the first XI, so I thought he was partnering Maguire. Alas, the best of the back four is out ill :(

    And Rashford, has he already recovered or will he be run into the ground suffering even more time on the sidelines? Seems very risky to me. Under serious pressure kind of risky.
     
    Rashy not being fully fit worries me we tried to play not fully fit players vs Liverpool last season and look what happened, it looked like he'd hurt his groin as well which is usually lengthy. I know we hardly have multiple players to cover him and choose from but we are potentially risking more by having him play half fit, I'd rather he was on the bench and then we can just use him if absolutely necessary (likely we will) maybe we dont want to place such a big burden on Greenwood being the only striker against one of the big clubs?

    Is Pogba actually fully fit or is he another who its questionable should be playing and is only doing so because he has to?

    Makes you start to question Martial a little obvious all injuries are different but he is taking his time
     
    Ban said:
    Yeah its not like we don't have unlimited options up frontž
    Click to expand...

    The fact we didn’t replace Rashfords career blocks is the reason for that. Forgive me for thinking rushing him back from injury isn’t ideal. The in form striker is on the bench.
