20 years ago we had not invented pressing, it was easy to play 3 times a week.

As Gandalf would say "They shall not score!"

I think what he actually said was "They shall not press!"

garelo · Sep 30, 2023

Onana
Dalot - Varane - Maguire - Ambrabat
Casemiro - Hannibal - Mount
Bruno - Hojlund - Rashford

Brilliant news.

Said noone ever.

yeah with mount, hannibal, and amrabat are fit we dont need them.

VP89 · Sep 30, 2023

I'd prefer us to rest Varane and play him on for midweek game, given he can't play every 3 days anyway. Amrabat for full back and Lindelof - Maguire in the middle.

Varane and Linda for 45 mins each, Palace will be a tougher opponent than Galatasaray i think.

In 2001/02 we played 16 European games. Even if we won the Champions League this season we’d play maximum 13.

yeah i remember we had 2 group rounds in CL in early 2000's i think that football is more intense today with players being demanded to run all the time, hence traditional no. 10 is deemed as luxury player now.

Think we will see:

Dalot - Varane - Lindelof - Reguilon

Casemiro - Amrabat

Mount - Bruno - Rashford

Hojlund

We won't - Reguilon is unavailable. Otherwise this is exactly what I would have been hoping to see too.

I suppose that perforce means Amrabat on left back. And probably Mount in midfield, and either Antony or Pellistri on the right. Or - shudder - another game with the diamond, and McTominay.

Dammit, I was really stoked to see how it would work with Amrabat in the midfield and Mount on the right.

DJ_21 · Sep 30, 2023

Need another good showing today. Another dominating performance would be good! We need to start banging in goals and getting a decent GD. Think we go with Amrabat LB again as it worked so well him coming into midfield, that helped us dominate with him and Casemiro, it also gave Mount a lot more freedom and he looked good.

Alemar · Sep 30, 2023

Onana

Dalot
Varane
Lindelof
Amrabat

Casemiro
Mount
Mejbri

Bruno
Hojlund
Rashford

it’s under assumption that Antony is not match fit. If he somehow is, it’s him instead of Mejbri

Nickosaur · Sep 30, 2023

Rumour on twitter that Pellistri starts today

(FPL leaker that always seems to get the city team right - unsure how reliable he is for united)

Possibly Amrabat at LB with Eriksen in midfield, given Amrabat can provide some cover in the midfield.

Onana
Dalot Varane Lindelof Amrabat
Casemiro Hannibal
Bruno Mount Rashford
Hojlund

I would've like to see Garnacho start, but im sure marcus and bruno will. Hannibal deserves to start i think, so i hope he does.

Hopefully a similar set-up to midweek with Amrabat stepping into midfield. Its a shame we have 12 injured left backs, would like to see him and casemiro get a run of games next to each other properly.

Dannn411 · Sep 30, 2023

My team for this would be:

If Reguilon is fit:
4-2-3-1
Onana
Dalot, Varane, Lindelof, Reguilon
Casemiro, Amrabat
Mount, Bruno, Rashford
Hojlund

If Reguilon is not fit:
3-4-3/3-4-1-2
Onana
Varane, Maguire, Lindelof
Dalot, Casemiro, Amrabat, Mount
Bruno, Hojlund, Rashford

Carlsen19 · Sep 30, 2023

Would love to not see Rashford again.

I’d go with that… think that gives us the most balanced team. If we was going of form though I’d drop Rashford for Garnacho.

Manncunian · Sep 30, 2023

Why are people so sure Lindelof starts ahead of Maguire? He put in a solid performance on Wednesday, and I think he deserves another start.

Ye I think we might go Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Amrabat for the back line.

I think it is all about partnerships, and Varane & Lindelov have played a few times now so have the understanding. Maguire is the next available option.

Because Lindelof has been consistently favoured ahead of Maguire.

This Crystal Palace team will not be the same we played on Tuesday. They already looked better when they subbed some starters in the second half. But at least they don't have Edouard and Olise. Expecting a minimal victory or a draw.

Same could be said for United...

I’ve changed my lineup prediction about 6 times now swapping between Maguire and Lindelof. I’ll flip a coin.

Eze is their main threat. Impressive cameo on Tuesday. Casemiro will struggle against him.

I think Maguire is actually a better partner for Varane than Lindelof. Maguire is more aggressive, likes to come tight to the striker whereas both Lindelof and Varane prefer to cover in behind.

why? Maguire cant pass and that alone puts Lindeloff ahead of him

Yeah was a lot more even game when he came on.

Amrabat, Hannibal and Garnacho please Eric.

I might just vomit on my desk if I see McTominay or Eriksen starting.

Like Garnacho has better form than Rashford

Bwuk · Sep 30, 2023

From the tweets... I'm guessing

Onana
Dalot - Varane - Maguire - Amrabat
Casemiro
Pellistri - Bruno - Hannibal - Rashford
Hojlund

Roboc7 · Sep 30, 2023

I think one of them will start, probably Mctominay but hopefully with players returning it won’t happen many more times after today.

Leftback99 · Sep 30, 2023

Mount and Pellistri starting apparently.

Jack-C20 · Sep 30, 2023

Stupid question time. Do the turnstiles stay open after 3pm? Traffic is a fecking nightmare. Normally there with two hours to spare but this is going to be close.
