Hopefully we don't struggle to break them down. Could be a long day if we don't.

Real Madrid are winning back to back CL's, Even then Morata eventually left. We are not that good yet to keep young talents interested in to sticking around.

Young talents have nowhere else to go. As good as Martial is, it's not clear he would be first choice in a lot of teams. And Morata is three years older than Martial.

ah just seen game is live on sky(Ireland) Cool.

I have a funny feeling about this one. Palace haven't scored a single goal, don't have a single point, Utd free flowing, scoring for fun.

It's all set up for a 0-0 or 1-0 palace win so that the memes about City scoring 5 ans us failing to even win will circulate. There'll probably be sun in De Gea's eyes too when we concede.

Still the same feeling.

AkaAkuma& · Sep 30, 2017

Wow the amount of posts about "Martial not starting" is going through the roof. How about we start discussing the game against Palace.
Speaking about the game, Palace is due a goal in the league, might today be the day?

How long till the 'Mouriho should get sacked cause of Martial' posts begin?

What so you mean "how long till" ? I read some already. I' m begining to think Jose is a rubbish manager, and all the trophes he won, happened by coincidence. Sack the bastard! What does he know!

Catt · Sep 30, 2017

That Palace team don't look half bad on paper.

Judas · Sep 30, 2017

An early goal and we'll have a very easy game.

Bayern are in need of a forward like him...

Anyways lets concentrate on the game.

Bailly rested is understandable, but I don't get Smalling getting ahead, and even less Lindelöf out of the bench. Let's just hope it's not Smalling with the duty to distribute game from the back. Maybe he's on for the headers, like Fellaini.

Smalling is 3rd choice CB. Been that way all season.

Hopefully United play terribly so that Martial gets the nod sooner rather than later.

Yes - I'm taking last season into account as well.

Catt · Sep 30, 2017

We must score in the first half.

That's Martial starting against Liverpool then

I know you're joking but it's sad that there's zero chance of that happening. Even though he'll be fresh after the international break.

mu4c_20le · Sep 30, 2017

Not too convinced about starting both Mkhi and Mata, but we are at home so hopefully Palace wont be too difficult to break down.

Stop being so pessimistic and go and score us a goal, mmkay?

They're both much better passers than either Rashford or Martial. The thinking is probably about breaking down Palace's deep line. Not that I agree with that approach, but the reasoning is sound.

I'd rather play players who tear up teams with pace and movement, but that's just a personal preference. I'd love to see Rashford/Martial both start at some point.

I'll try, brb, Jose wants a word.

Rajma · Sep 30, 2017

We'll most likely come out on top but that won't be pretty imo.

I want them to play half of the time and go to sleep the rest

Dobba · Sep 30, 2017

Just need the players to have the right mentality. Everyone else seems to think this is a foregone conclusion. We've seen what happens in a couple of games recently when we consider the game won and the defence goes to sleep.

This is Jose not LVG or Moyes

Buchan · Sep 30, 2017

Before I saw the line-up, I noticed that Martial and Herrera's were the two player threads most-recently commented on. I knew immediately both weren't starting. Gotta love the Caf!

Achilles McCool · Sep 30, 2017

Just saw that Palace are 20:1 to win this match! Does anyone know what the longest odds are for a Premier League underdog?

JonDahl · Sep 30, 2017

Palace are dire. We will walk this. 3-0.

Jones is very good on the ball. Easily our most composed (actual) centreback.

Inigo Montoya · Sep 30, 2017

Yorkeontop said:

They were a great partnership till Jones got injured.

A partnership always needs time to gel but if injuries keep disrupting it...

It shouldn't happen at this level regardless. You'd like to think the one positive of conceding late against Moscow is that'll give the players a kick up the arse.

Get a 0-3 lead and substitute Matic for Herrera and Martial for Lukaku, both could do with a rest.

Dont be naive

It will be Mata, it is always Mata. Can he not play for longer?
