No, left of the diamond.

Are there any posts on here about Fletcher when he was McTominay's age? That is going back a while after all.

I'm not trying to be clever, by the way.

https://www.redcafe.net/threads/so-when-will-fletcher-come-good.124529/

I guess he was 22 then? A year younger than McT

there are loads of threads moaning about him to be honest, if you look back

bsCallout · Nov 1, 2020

Nothing makes me happier than McT being in the team. Seems to piss off a lot of fans but he always has a good game.

He might not be THE best on the ball but neither was Henderson who was integral for Liverpool, neither was Fletcher who was integral to United, the list will go on. He is underrated in his value.

Ok, hard to tell on here these days. Some nutters that act as Ole's gatekeepers love stirring shit at any opportunity. Apologies so if you were taking the piss.

No problem, I can see your point about not being able to tell the difference at times.

He plays a character with his stupid catchphrases but is sensible when spewing his bullshit theories and lies.
Didnt he start the Bruno v Maguire fight rumour in the Spurs game? So his lies are actuallynto yhe detriment of the side.
Its not just him I suppose, a lot of our fanbase seems to want to believe the negativity

no he didn't.

The rage people feel about him is so bizarre, can't believe how heated people still get about him.

Agreed.

Kante was knew for delivering 5 yard passes the whole game. Same with Makelele. Yet they're the engine of their team. Some people just don't understand football.

Who's Kissing Cameras? · Nov 1, 2020

McT starting - brilliant. I love it. He’s been great this season.

DeGea · Nov 1, 2020

The midfield battle is going to be key today. And Maguire not having a brain dead moment.

Oh right I meant Greenwood not Bruno

Bruno Greenwood is our new hero

fergosaurus · Nov 1, 2020

Very good lineup. I think we'll win 2-0 with a Rashford double. Pogba played well last time out and I expect him to build on that as he plays consistently in this formation.

always_hoping · Nov 1, 2020

Matic,Martial,De Beek out. McTominay,Bruno,Rashford in. Close to like to like replacements, i presume it will be a diamond formation again?

Reditus · Nov 1, 2020

1st time I’ve seen those training tops. Must be anniversary of those blue tops, I’m guessing?

Pexbo · Nov 1, 2020

I think Arteta might have anticipated the diamond. Partey and Eleney sitting deep breaking up play, Aubameyang, Lacazette, Willian, Saka , Bellerin and Tierney overloading the wide areas.

PoTMS · Nov 1, 2020

Pogba doesn't have that bad stats considering his underwhelming career at United so far. Averaging a goal/assist nearly every 2 games.

No idea but im excited to see all four midfielders start. Pognandes for the creativity, Fred and McT to deal with the physical battle.

Foxbatt · Nov 1, 2020

Do you think it's wise to start with Greenwood and Rashford?
Wouldn't it be better to keep Rashford on the bench and let him loose during the second half?
Martial is not available too so it may have been prudent to keep Rashford off the starting line up.

Ajr · Nov 1, 2020

I wonder if there was a river of this match

Last time I got 11/11 - we lost 6-1

Ok, if this ends bad, we know who to blame.

Hardly.
Willian, Auba, Lacazette, Saka are all good players who can hurt us. RB had very average individual talent in comparison.

Part of their spine consists of Elneny and Holding, it's championship level.

stu_1992 · Nov 1, 2020

Liking the lineup. I think it's smart to go ahead with the formation that did so well for us against Leipzig. Pogba was much improved so great to see him bavk in the lineup. No James is a massive plus. All the changes were positive tbf. Looking forward to this one starting now.

Ehm, Henderson is very good on the ball. His long-range passing is excellent. He's not Xavi but his passing at the moment is superior to McTominay.

A bit like the early 90's away top?

Cavani can act as the impact sub if things don't go to plan, at least he offers something different to our other strikers.

AshRK · Nov 1, 2020

Happy with the line up. Good feeling we will win this one.

yup! It’s currently our strongest possible lineup. I’m confident.

They have gone with a back 5, haven't they?

Aubameyang Lacazette Willian
Partey Elneny
Saka Tierney Gabriel Holding Bellerin
Leno

It is kind of an unorthodox back 5. Tierney isn’t that great defensively and Saka isn’t what you call a marauding wingback. I expect their shape to be very fluid, shifting to a back four when in attack.

RedDevilRoshi said:
On paper, our team looks much better than theirs and we should be winning this game with ease but same time you can’t really take anything for granted when it comes to Utd.

I’ll take a jammy, underwhelming 1-0 win right now if you offered me it.

Yea, this game might have a banana peel waiting for us to slip on. But, I m very confident whenever we have Mctominay and Fred in the midfield because they provide so much support to our defense, that it gives Bruno and Pogba more freedom to create and be risky taking. Then we have two of MMM up front, so you know that we will be clinical if we create chances.

Red4Life_#7 · Nov 1, 2020

Nice!! I predicted the line-up. I think this team is going to do well... hope I get the subs right for the 17 pts hehe!

Pogba really has to play well today as well as McT to sure things up.

Hope this game is a cracker!!

Yep the blue speckled top. I am assuming it’s 30 year anniversary of them

jderbyshire · Nov 1, 2020

Come on United let's do this!

Rightnr · Nov 1, 2020

Damn, 10/11. I thought Pogba was still not fit enough and would be used to kill them off.

Would have been a strange decision considering Cavani is an unknown and Greenwood is pretty much our best attacker.

Yeah I get that.
It’s just that I think our bench is set up to help consolidate a lead and close the game down, as opposed to helping us chase the game if we are in need of goals in last 20 mins.

I guess thats solved when Martial comes back and why we needed Sancho or similar type signing

Okey · Nov 1, 2020

Phew! Just waking up to see Ole has picked the team most people wanted. Now let's go smash some Gooners...

DWelbz19 · Nov 1, 2020

This is going to be a snooze fest. Bank of 5 with Partey and Elneny in front. Yuck.

Cavani is on a 2 year contract. By the time he leaves, hopefully Diallo will be ready to be fourth choice.

jderbyshire · Nov 1, 2020

Oh wow that Arsenal training kit is horrendous.

GameOn · Nov 1, 2020

Honestly expect an easy win for us today.

We're in a flow right now, especially in the big games.

4-1 victory, book it.
