Not sure i'd enjoy seeing Lamptey go at an unfit Telles!When is the presser for this game?Fred, Cavani and Matic out for tomorrow
2pm it was and then later on the embargoed section as per norm
Thanks mate. Do we have a thread on it? Could not find one yet.
From 2024/25 the CL will be extended from 32 to 36 teams. Two of the extra spots will go to teams with the highest coefficients who miss out on regular qualification.
Right now we are 9th. As long as we are top 10 we will 99 % of the times be getting one of those extra spots if we fail to get top 4 in the league.
The reason we’re as high as 9th (despite being awful in the CL the past 5 seasons) is that we go deep in EL and keep the coefficients ticking along nicely.
Having a season outside of Europe would mean a blank on the coefficients. That blank would stay with us for 5 seasons. It would take us from 7th-10th to around 16th. A 16th placed team is very unlikely to get one of those extra spots.
I know people despise the EL (rightly so) but if we can’t get CL this season then we have to get EL. Because down the road those extra coefficients will ensure that we never miss out on CL when the new format starts in two years’ time.
Good pointI think it’s worth playing Bruno as a false 9, move Pogba higher and play Fred or Matic next to Scotty.
Or move Rashers in the middle, giving the vacant spot to Elanga or even Jesse.
Matic isn't available.Hope we get to see Mejbri play.
Matic, Cavani, and Fred, it seems. As a result, midfield 3 picks itself + Ronaldo probably starts. Maybe Elanga starts over Rashford but I wouldn't bet on it.
Telles for Shaw is the most likely change.
Andy Mitten reckons Fred is available again.For people who have watched Brighton - what sets Potter apart from being Brendan Rodgers at Swansea?
People are harsh on Rodgers, as a coach. The thing that sets then apart though, for many people, is a) Rodgers tried and failed at the top level (were Liverpool top level?), and b) the Liverpool connection. Potter us untried and could do better than Rodgers if given the opportunity. The football at Brighton us really good for the players they have, and their issues would be mostly negated by having better players.
I think with Leicester struggling this season also and missing out on top 4 at the death a few times has earned Rodgers the bottler tag.Potter's stock going to rise even further in the next 36 hours.
Ralf said in the press conference that Fred’s back in training and will be available.Expecting another draw. Not much between the two sides.
He’s got a better beardI finally think we will actually win a game.
NO NO NO NO HELL NOCavani and Matic still out. Telles and Fred are available.Why are we looking forward to another game yet again? After one big disappointment after another for the past few games and the best part of a decade, why can't tomorrow night come quickly enough for most of us, even if recent evidence suggests it's likely to end up ruining our evenings?
I'm convinced "regular" football fandom must be some sort of addiction. Manchester United ... *sigh*
I assume it's the hope that kills you/us
Imagine if Ronaldo misses a sitter but we go in 1-0 up, they equalise immediately and then it finishes 1-1.
Groundhog's dayI'll be watching the Psg gameRalf has a style of play and trying his methods with this group of individuals which is not yielding expected results.
But we don’t have time left in top 4 race and should kill these games in 30 mins where we play with high gears usually. There’s still hope if Maguire, Rashford sit in bench for few games but I don’t think it’s going to happen.
Buzzing for a 1-1 draw.I would like to see :
———-——-DDG——————
Dalot-Victor-Varane-Telles
——————McT——————
————-Fred-Paul————-
——————Bruno—————
———-Sancho—-Elanga—-We're losing games because we're failing to not only kill games but also have the ability to dictate for large periods of the game.
Not only do we need more energy and discipline but players in the final third who can actually hold it up, especially the striker. The last few games, Ronaldo and Cavani have done a terrible job at that, hence why I do like the idea of Bruno as a false 9.
Doubt it's going to happen, mind, but something I'd like to see, with Rashford, Elanga and Sancho taking up two of the wide forward roles.
In the terms of away form they would be. Southampton lost 6 times away this season and conceded 27 goals.
As i said already Brighton have lost just once on the road, every other team apart from City has lost more games away. Only conceded 12 goals, City, Chelsea and Wolves conceded fewer.Managed to get a work trip to coincide with this match so I'm back up in Manchester for the first time in 3 years. Where's the best pub to sink a Guinness or two before the match?So if this isn’t on uk tv anywhere, is it on American tv? Or will they be focusing on champions league too? Got to ensure the rivers continue to flow!Glad this isn't on TV, watching United these days is as painful as it gets
You can stream itThis is the match we make our first half count. We will be out of sight by HT. Mark my fecking words.
Dazn in Canada have it. Maybe Peacock in USA.
Can't wait for United to come to Holland to play VitesseI'd rather lose in that case
No.
I've heard that is more trouble than it's worth to find one that doesn't freeze or drop out etc.You can stream it
