Any news on a Martial injury? Or has he just been dropped?Very attacking line up. Love it.Martial?Some rest for Lingard I guess. Is Martial injured?I put Zlatan in my line up, I felt that José was going to play him today. Let's see what he can do in the 10 position.Just noticed Martial.
His thread will be a massive moaning place today.
No Martial on the bench either. Is he sick?
Off in january then.
I'm happy my prediction was correct but it scares me we have no real alternative to Matic, which just goes to show how far Herrera has fallen. I honestly would have preferred McTominay on the bench instead of the Spaniard.4-4-2 then? Or Ibra behind Lukaku?Well, we have to rotate.
If Jose is resting Martial, fine. If Martial is being singled out and Rashford is getting it easy despite his terrible performance then the manager deserves criticism.10/11. Had Lingard instead of Zlatan.Zlatan at #10?Lingard not starting after such a good run of form and Martial not even in the squad is weird, and that frontline looks so disjointed, how Rashford has gotten a start is a mystery after his recent outings.Rojo
Or he is simply going to play in a few days..Anyways, nice to see Tuanzebe on the bench.4411 vs 4411. Interesting.
Got two big lads up top, with two attacking full backs. Do what Spurs did the other day, which was to create attacking overloads out wide and get crosses in. Burnley couldnt handle it.9/11. Didn't think Ibrahimovic was ready to start a game and thought Rashford deserved to be dropped for his awful decision making in the last 2 games.Why is Rashford playing?
We win!
Rashford’s form has been terrible and Lukaku-Mata-Zlatan offers nothing in terms of fluidity.
More ammo for those that say we have no attacking pattern - just randomly three forwards on to the pitch and hope for the best.Not exactly brimming with pace are we?
Don't embarrass yourself mate.Martial missed 2 sitters the last 2 games and getting punished for it.Is martial injured?
He doesn't deserve to play but let's hope I'm proved wrong.Zlatan #10 or is he going 4-4-2?
Oh no the thought! Don’t say that, the conspiracy theorists want something to talk about other than ‘he might be rested.’Why Rojo why? He is the weakest link in our defense. Would prefer Blind or Tuanzebe over him. Rojo just gives away too many needless foul and his long passes are useless.
He’s one of our players. He’s young and sometimes makes mistakes. Don’t let that stop you crucifying him
It's a legitimate question after a stinker he had against Leicester. At best he should have been on the bench.If Rashford keeps the width and Lukaku drifts wide, with Mata roaming inside, the formation could look like:
Rashford Ibrahimovic Lukaku
Shaw Pogba Mata Young
Matic
Rojo Jones
De Gea
Not in the centre though. He’s s useless LBRashford should play, Manc born and bred. Leaving Martial out if he is not sick/injured is fecking criminal though. Tuanzebe should always be in the starting 11. He is a Diamond.
Cashing in on local lad points he's been saving upGoing to be a struggle watching ibra out there I think. Actually I don't think that side has any balance to it at all. Going to be very reliant on Shaw, pogba or rashford pretty much just crossing it in. Mata with those players won't be too effective, lukaku and Ibra will get in each others way, and so on.
Hopefully we win, we probably still will, but I'm expecting a bit of a shit performance.
Also if Martial has been dropped, then it's idiotic. Probably just rested or has a knock.
Nope just fairly poor latelySo err what’s the formation then?- Status
