Who?
Nous Mazraoui. And damn you for making me work out the order of all of those bloody vowels after I purposely came up with a way of avoiding having to.I'm not even bothered about looking for free flowing football, I just want us to be in control of the game and win to build confidence. It's not too much to ask for a routine win where we don't look like we're on the ropes all day is it?
Our RBOh good, fotball's backOnana
Maz--De Ligt--Martinez--Shaw
Casemiro--Eriksen
Amad--Bruno--Rashford
HojlundHaving Evans or Lisandro as a left back will not be a viable option waiting for Mazraoui, Shaw or Malacia to be back, so we should either play Hamass or changing the formation. But think Ten Hag will play Lindelof as a RB tomorrow and keep the rest of the team.

They literally said yesterday that Mazraoui was in full training?Last couple of weekends have been stress free. Please Manchester United…
Hamass? Nah that's got to be intentional
Going to hope that's some kind of typo...
Tactics noob. It's obviously an oblique envelopment where we batter them down the right all game with a 4v2 after baiting all their players down the other side in transitions.
(Heh)
I thought I'd already posted a joke about bombing down the wing, but it either didn't go through or was (probably justifiably) removed, so tried another angle.
It's at home so we should be able to get a draw hopefully. Brentford outplayed us in most or at least half of the games since they got promoted and certainly in both games last season, yet we somehow got 4 points.
Perhaps unlike last October, game at Old Trafford vs Brentford is the one to end ten Hag's tenure at United. Would be symbolic with McTominay not being around to save him this time.Have a feeling we'll have a front 3 of Rashford, Amad and Garnacho for this one. Neither went on the international break and would be fresh.Last edited:I think we will scrape a win somehow, don’t expect it will be convincing but even in the current mess we have enough talent to win us games.
If Brentford were to win I think it would have to be by 3 or more goals for ETH to get sacked. I’d imagine he is here until the next international break. You can probably just about salvage the season if he went then but after that it more and more likely the season is a write off.
I actually think any defeat will accelerate his demise, good bet Brentford to score in first 3 minutes of the game, I just think we might scrape a draw, worst set of midfield snd attacking players I’ve seen in ages at this club so fingers crossed for all United fans
I wouldn’t be shocked if he was sacked if we lose to Brentford and they will definitely fancy their chances of getting a result.
But we have been so bad that every game in the League and the Europa is a struggle and you couldn’t back us with confidence to beat anyone. I don’t agree with it but if they genuinely want to give ETH a chance they can’t base it on one game or he should’ve been gone. oops sorry about that, just didn't register with me that it was his first name shortened!Starting to think we'll nick this one and give donkey bollocks some more breathing space.Mazraoui available for selection so himself and Dalot full back again. Evans deserve another start after the way he played against Villa but who to select as his centre back partner for this game?I haven't been this unexcited by a PL game post intl break in years. It's sad how much I can't be bothered at this point considering just 2 months ago I was buzzing yet again with stupid hope that we'd look different under the bald clown.Ive got a feeling this will end 3-0 to Brentford
Is that feeling perhaps based on how our charismatic and tactically astute manager has managed the team for the past 12 months?Will probably lose tomorrow and then sacked on Monday. As usual with this club. We'll have wasted an international break to get a new manager bedded in.
It shouldn't even be about nicking wins.... if they are going to stick with ETH, he needs to be providing something more than nicking a win. Any league 2 manager could come and do that... why is he still employed.
Ruud will almost certainly take interim charge if they opt to sack Ten Hag, which seems unlikely now, so a bedding in period isn't necessary.be amusing to see how bad things get before they make a change. Really the moment you get to a point when you wonder if a loss means they fire him you might as well fire him.
Fixed
It crossed my mind, but positive mindset hey-----------------------------------------------Onana----------------------------------------------------

Expecting something like this.After Austria playing absolutely brilliant football lately under Rangnick I fully expect this to be some utter dross againIs it incredibly sad I wouldn't mind an extra week of international break?If you're on the Official App, there are some good seats at reasonable prices. 48 quid for the back of SAF stand is a bit steep (steep for steep) but refresh and you can find better for about forty.Looking forward to clicking on a million links to get a stable river.- Status
