Strange that a team that spent 300m on forwards would go with a back 5.The only tactical use for James I can see is on the counterattack. Needless to say, but it must be said, he needs to make better decisions on when to go for and when to make the pass.
3 games in a week might not be the smartest for injury prone Tuanzebe. Guess he is starting the RBL match.Wow, we have a respectable bench
Yeah so what, why not have him on the bench at least ?Don’t feel happy about that lineup, Hope is wrong.He loves living dangerously doesn't he. Another poor line up that could so easily backfire.
What has James done to get another start? Tuanzebe benched and Telles out the squad entirely...
I agree Mata has earned another start but I don't think he's going to get left alone all game like he was against Newcastle.Hardly stupid, its a solid line up with pace to hit on the break. I’d prefer Greenwood to James but I’m sure we will see him and pogba at some stage and maybe cavani With get a late run out.
Hmm, are you suggesting there is a virus lurking within the squad?
If so, who might it be?
Well, I guess this is evidence enough. Not a good sign anyway.
Which is the more important game considering we beat PSG away?Bench will win us this game if its level with an hour gone
No one’s being rude and hateful Genuinely, the harshest thing I’ve seen in this thread is someone hoping James never plays for us again. I like James personally but that’s his opinion. No problem with that.8/11 I got on the starting lineup. I thought Telles would start ahead of Shaw.
Wald have been nice if Tuanzebe was rewarded for his fine game with another start. I didn't think he would though to be honest.we are not here to counter Chelsea at OT..having Mata and James out there should be considered a sackable offense with PP and vdb available..we all know RAshford does not do well as the lone striker. SackableLet's see what Dan James is made out of. Is he a man of steel mentality or do his legs shiver?If we're drawing with 20 to go, Pogba, VDB and Cavani will come on. If we're winning, it'll be Pogba, Matic and Cavani.Not this 4213 rubbish again, should have gone with Pogba instead of Mata for 4222.Heart sinks seeing Maguire against their attack. This could be another massacre.If he's going to persist with formation over talent then yeah that's the expected line up really.
Not sure it's the right call to face Chelsea but i guess we'll see.Perhaps it tells us that Ole is currently prioritising the CL group stages over the league? We'll have a better starting 11 midweek than today.Where art thou tellesDidn’t think Telles or Tuanzebe would play, but not sure about Fred and McTominay playing a 3rd game in a row. Fully expected Matic or Pogba to come back in.
Can only assume that Cavani and Greenwood aren’t fit enough to start, although I still think Pogba/Bruno interchanging at 10 and on the left would work well. Better than Dan James anyway.Like the lineup. Clear that Ole wants players who are giving 100% right now - love it. Kick up the arse for some of the bigtime Charlies. Good options from the bench and lots of energy on the field.Mata been motm his last 2 games and made a huge difference, short memories some folk.
Well Pogba Is actually a real virus so most likely him.Solskjaer’s bizarre fascination with this fecking 4231 is going to see him sacked very soon.
Mata and James to have stinkers.
Pogba, Greenwood and Cavani will be sent on to try and salvage something.
Would make more sense to start a bit weaker in the Champions League, as you get 5 subs to change the game around.
Greenwood ass must be very sore, poor kid.Dealing with Werner's pace won't be easy for Maguire and Lindelof.
I have heard you use this exact phrase at least a few dozen times. I'd suggest switching it up a bit from time to time.Ole really doesn't do himself any favours does he? Poor DVB must really be wondering why he ever joined us, Must have been an Ed signing rather than OlesWhen will Ole quit with this 4231 bullshit?
4 losses in 32 games. Yeah right.
I never thought of that, good call.I am guessing Telles wasn’t fit, more or less taking the 3 at the back option off the table. James should only ever be a late sub against a top team, though.
I'm very happy with Mata playing, it's James and that fat bastard at left back I am struggling to fathom.
You're not going to throw Tuanzebe straight into multiple games per week, he needs time to get stronger.
James's pace is a threat to Chelsea's defence, and allows Mason more of a rest.
Sadly, this.- Status
