Manchester United 1:0 Crystal Palace

redshaw · Dec 4, 2021

I hope we can protect Ronaldo a little, that last run he made probably needs more recovery.

Zlatan took a few more knocks than he should have and suffered a big injury, I was wincing as I could see the team making an easy game very hard and feared Zlatan taking on too much in that game over extending. Hopefully with Rangnick we can have more comfortable performances.

Ralph1386 · Dec 4, 2021

Do you guys reckon he will make some changes to the starting lineup? Or will he not want to rock the boat and keep starting McFred and Maguire-Lindelof? I hope not the latter.

smi11ie · Dec 4, 2021

I think Utd are going to smash Palace.
Prediction 5-1.

My gut feeling is we won't see Donny until Ralf feels he has made us more solid through the midfield

The impression I'm getting is he wants a team that can control games more, if he's still picking McTominay over him then he's only shooting himself in the foot.

Yeah I totally get that impression as well, however he won't be able to do that straight away

FrankDrebin · Dec 4, 2021

I don't think we'll get a manager bounce tomorrow. The effort will be there with us but I think our weaknesses will be ever present and I feel CP will take advantage of that.

Not expecting instant change with Ralf. I think it'll be a gradual process.

FrankDrebin · Dec 4, 2021

Be funny if Beek starts on the bench.

smi11ie · Dec 4, 2021

Utd's huge squad should benefit them over the Xmas period. A few of the top 4 contenders play each other so Utd need to get a run of wins together. Come the West Ham game in January Utd should be in 4th and close to 3rd. Vital win needed tomorrow.

Offside · Dec 4, 2021

CR7 injured?

Trex · Dec 4, 2021

The good think about Ralf is due to his previous role as a DOF at Leipzig he'll have good knowledge of most of our players, so am sure he already has an idea of who he'll like to use in each role even before his first training session.

Because McTominay is bad.

Not really true. He’s been mostly average to decent. Don’t think he’s ever put in performances as bad as McTominay

UTD_Since_1978 · Dec 4, 2021

Those saying VDB is bad is quite harsh as he really hasn't had a run of games & anybody who thinks he has more chances than McTominay & Fred obviously are not true Man Utd supporters.

Always a solid argument

He had a bad coach and he did more in one half versus Watford than McTominay did in his entire career.

Pretty sure McT had the same coach

Agreed.

It would be not really wise to start him this match, it's like only three days from last match. Plus imo he'd really want to play against YB for his CL records.

He can play in the knock out stages. Give the fringe players a chance.
We must rest as many players as possible.
After YB we have 3 games in 8 days.

They aired, they were just on Peacock & Paramount+ which combined they cost as much a month as 2 pints at the pub.

Our last win vs Palace at home was on 30th September 2017. 2 losses and a draw since then. And they've been good so far this season under Vieira, though they lost last few games. I'd be more than happy with 3 points.

Yes should be happy with the 3 points. A dreadful recent record at home to Palace, Ralf isn't going to change much with one training session and this Palace side have already won in Manchester this season against Peps City.

Fun fact - Supersport2 Albania shows every single Manchester United game without fail with English commentary (and no it's not Albanians it's British commentators in the ground). Albanians get better TV coverage of MUFC than we do.

Ronaldos just posted 'ready for tomorrow' on his insta story. So maybe he is fit?

Personal preferences of players does not lessen or increase the amount of support someone has for a team. Knock off the theatrics.

I had it in my head that this game was away and couldn't understand why they were at The Lowry.

I was going to take a gamble on him not being in the starting 11 as he looked knackered at the end of the Arsenal game, but might rethink this now.
