That's basically the worst possible outcome today.

I'd be cautious to take a post too seriously when it's made by a poster called LSD!

People saying AWB not fit as he was in lockdown, you do realise he lives in a house that more than likely has more equipment than your gym would.

First match day for me here. Please be a winning start.

Caf in meltdown 60 minutes before the season starts, ffs. :lol:

Exactly

He does, but isn't that from the other side? He isn't great on the right. The lad will have an absolute stormer now.

We have 3 starters who would have a hard time getting into the XI of Palace.

Ridiculous post. TFM will maybe struggle everyone else are the first names on the team sheet in any palace team.

also, did Dalot murder Oles dog or something? I just don't get it.

no i just never seen him play well with us

KirkDuyt · Sep 19, 2020

Hoped to see Vd Beak starting. Oh well, he can come on when the opposition's tired and run around a lot.

Lovely meltdown, right @DomesticTadpole ?
So, no one likes it, therefor 6-0

Yes. Even though we knew there might be players out. :lol:

Starting James against a team that sits back... What's the fecking point? Fosu Mensah at RB, wtf.

This sort of opinion always baffles me a bit, as it didn't hurt us too much playing the likes of Giggs and Kanchelskis back in the day.

Zaha against Fosu Mensah.... I would prefer Jones over him, when Bissaka is out.

I think he'll do a job. Must have played against him in training loads.

You mean in the Heraclitus sense that you never see the same Mason Greenwood twice?

Getting benched for one game makes sense to me.

So we're punishing players for having problems with their national team and outside United now ? Honestly this doesn't make any sense. He was already kicked out from England's squad. Punishing him more from the club doesn't make sense.

We're just punishing ourselves.

Random Task · Sep 19, 2020

I have to admit, I'm stunned by that team. TFM and James occupying the right flank is just... wow.

Is Ole sending a message to the board here?

bdspeedy · Sep 19, 2020

Ole trolling Eddie and the Glazers.

Delano · Sep 19, 2020

The line up is why the fans are so frustrated. Players need to be rested, players will get injured. The problem is, when we need to put new players in the 11 our quality falls off a cliff.

I'm okay with James. Looked decent for Wales.

Think he played on the left, he is much better there than on the right.

mu4c_20le · Sep 19, 2020

Andersonson · Sep 19, 2020

James been good for Wales. Greenwood is being learnt a lesson. AWB went to Dubai and is rightfully dropped.

Glad the manager is strong and strict.

Donny will come on and get his debut.

DWelbz19 · Sep 19, 2020

Not the best XI on paper.

We desperately need some signings for depth.

Nicoseth · Sep 19, 2020

Seems like a strange lineup but trust Ole on this. Surely fitness is a factor. With Greenwood, may be a case of taking him out of the spotlight following his Icelandic adventures.

Well, using that logic AWB is probably a better fit though.

Might be

AWB had to quarantine as went to Dubai so likely started training late. Greenwood has been benched likely due to his transgressions while on national duty. Quite rightly too I may add, he's 18, it won't harm him to be lightly disciplined like this for a game or two.

Absolutely not? More likely to just be rested a bit based on what Solskjær said about Southgate's handling of him

Strelok · Sep 19, 2020

Tbh I was quite optimistic for this match. But all that fecking gone seeing the lineup. TFM and James on the right, seriously ???

I wouldn't worry too much, we've still got Lingard and Pereira who didn't even make the bench.

Greenwood needs a rest, as per the press conference yesterday. Going on England duty didn’t allow him that.

He’s a teenager and has had a couple of weeks rest now hasn’t he?

more concerned with Fosu Mensah starting and McTominay. Hope we get the job done because that’s not a first choice 11.

But he can't run properly and elite athletes' fitness levels drop pretty quickly according to the Spurs doctors talking about training in isolation on their documentary.

Xaviboy · Sep 19, 2020

James starting on the right to try stop Zaha with TFM.

mu4c_20le said:
Unless he suffered a knock in the warm up, he's not listed in the physio room and looks like a healthy scratch.

Interesting. James and TFM are the other two eyebrow-raisers, hopefully they both go well and gain a bit of confidence from getting the nod here.

Please enlighten us.

i dont know what his obvious reasons are but Ole complained that Greenwood was tired and needed rest. I had Lingard to start over him . But i get it. Good to have him off the bench incase of trouble

Ekeke · Sep 19, 2020

Our left side looks great. Our right side looks...

SAFMUTD · Sep 19, 2020

I have a really bad feeling about today our right side is bottom table quality.

Leftback99 · Sep 19, 2020

We played McTominay and Pogba in the July game we won 2-0. Another noticeable thing in that game was how much of the ball they allowed AWB to have so it's maybe not that much of a surprise he's not starting.

AshRK · Sep 19, 2020

Ole and his fascination with James.. what is it?

Greenwood needs rest. Who else is he supposed to play in wings, lingard mataor AP!. The man has been clear he wants a RW but our board is incompetent.

Gee Male · Sep 19, 2020

James played very well for Wales. Not exactly mental to start him.

Obviously but he's seemingly not fit enough.

How about waiting for the game before complaining about it.
