Manchester United 3:1 Arsenal

manichester · Sep 4, 2022

6 first team starters from last season on the bench.

bosnian_red · Sep 4, 2022

Casemiro still on bench, hope we don't regret it... Mctominay has done well to be fair to him but at some point you have to make the swap

Ronaldo's ego · Sep 4, 2022

Can only assume Casemiro has told ETH he doesn’t feel quite ready to start.

Dread Devil · Sep 4, 2022

So excited for this now with Antony starting….

RuudTom83 · Sep 4, 2022

ETH is the boss...the team has won 3 games on the bounce...I wont complain.

justsomebloke · Sep 4, 2022

Nooooo, no Casemiro today either. Fecks sake.

MrBest · Sep 4, 2022

No donny or garnacho on the bench, but we have 2 goalkeepers there? I really do not understand the logic of that.

Forevergiggs1 · Sep 4, 2022

Was behind ETH 100% but each time I see Rashford start as CF he loses a couple of points.

SirAF · Sep 4, 2022

Rashford at #9 again

Member 125398 · Sep 4, 2022

What's the deal with 2 GK subs?

You’ll be in for a surprise then. They’ve been brilliant even in pre season. Very well balanced and dangerous. Looking like a well oiled team now. Big contrast to last season.

They still have a weak mentality I suppose.

mitchmouse · Sep 4, 2022

antony starts - ETH must have real confidence in him. do wonder if we need casemiro to start this one but clearly a fourth manager likes Scotty

Chip · Sep 4, 2022

Excited about Antony, but strange with Casemiro. Would prefer Ronaldo to Rashford as well, given how useless the latter has been as a 9.

Excitement level cranked up....

SirAnderson · Sep 4, 2022

Chuffed for Antony getting the nod.
And like almost the entire cafe, bewildered at the sight of McT name starting ahead of Casemiro.
1 more yellow for McT and he has an automatic suspension right?

MyDevil · Sep 4, 2022

Expected Casemiro to start but instead Antony gets the nod.

Casemiro situation turning out like the VDB one.

swear some on here just love to overreact and get angry over nothing.

Gordon S · Sep 4, 2022

Two keepers on the bench is always a very clever move. Why waste precious space on the bench for outfield players!

Casemiro needed translator when speaking to Casemiro, maybe he is waiting for him to grasp some basic understanding?

Garnacho played for the youth team yesterday while Donny is Donny.

Regulus Arcturus Black · Sep 4, 2022

Amazed he hasn’t started Ronaldo and Casemiro, brave boy our new gaffer.

Shows just how highly he rates Antony, exciting shit.

lex talionis · Sep 4, 2022

If we’re going to be honest, Casemiro has a great deal to learn from McTominay.

kirk buttercup · Sep 4, 2022

Casemiro obviously not 100% fit. He will come on in the second half , no panic

Ten Hag said after the Leicester game Ronaldo and Casemiro are not fit enough to start yet.

But then Antony starts? How can he be fit if he hadn't played games for Ayax

RedRonaldo · Sep 4, 2022

Rashford > Ronaldo
Mctominay > Casemiro

I have seen it all.

What If it's another club signing

Can’t see that. ETH doesn’t want to use arguably the best DM in the world in a position of need? He must not be at full fitness.

Glad to see Antony start but Casemiro must have had a really easy summer if he's still not ready to play.

I’m pretty sure the rules state you have to have two keepers on bench no?

-Supreme- · Sep 4, 2022

Probably the only time in a long while where McT doesn’t deserve to be dropped, Bruno is the captain and Eriksen is favoured over his ball playing abilities

12OunceEpilogue · Sep 4, 2022

I would've liked Casemiro, hopefully ETH will be vindicated in making this call.

Excited for Antony.

Bruno CH and McT up front.

Brave from ETH

A Eriksen Varane midfield partnership

Will Singh · Sep 4, 2022

I’m happy we are easing Casemiro in but even a 50% Casemiro is better the McT surely?

Borys · Sep 4, 2022

pseudo_canadian said:
Completely bizarre not unleashing Casemiro in this sort of game. What is EtH’s thought process here?

I can understand that he will play the winning team. I do disagree with it but yeah, that's not unexpected.

And there's Antony...

matsdf · Sep 4, 2022

Fecking hate this team. Why are Ronaldo and Casemiro on the bench?! Absurd.

Orange Tree · Sep 4, 2022

What‘s the excuse of not starting Casemiro and start Antony?

Again with the 2 GKs on the bench.

Strootman's Finger · Sep 4, 2022

EtH doesn't change his team much, especially if he's winning. And in all honesty, it would be quite unfair to bench McTominey at this point, he's actually played really well.

He's not an old fart like them

Judas · Sep 4, 2022

Two keepers on the bench IS odd though, love to know why thats happened.

They are definitely playing the 2nd best in the league right now. Albeit they haven't faced strong opposition other than crystal palace day 1.

Going to be a really difficult game. Best I can see is a draw, think 1-1. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Ten Hag confirmed this himself, but I guess people love being outraged.

Yes you can. They just played on Thursday.
