    So Fred gonna play when we are defensive more stable but he is trying to be defensive stable by using Matic as shield for that back 4, poor Fred he is never gonna play.
     
    My prediction for the game.

    We'll hope to make it difficult for Fulham. Since we're at home, there's every chance we could give them a game. We've got to utilise Lukaku and get some high, raking balls up to him in the hope that he can lay it off and get on the end of every one of Young's 100 attempted crosses.

    Have a good feeling about this one, though. Really think we're in with a chance of nicking the three points.
     
    Good to see Herrera and Dalot starting.
    Hopefully Lukaku gets a much needed goal and confidence boost.We and him desperately need it.
     
    Smalling, Young, Matic, Lingard, Lukaku. :rolleyes: Well, if you wanted fluid football, or fast football, or players who can pass the ball well, or players who can control a football, you'd better look elsewhere. I'm sure we'll also be seeing Mata on the wing again for no fecking reason whatsoever.

    Can write the script for this game. Get dicked on for the first 35 minutes, possibly go a goal down (or not). Continue the struggle into the second half. Don't worry: Pogba and Fellaini to the rescue. Last 30 minutes hoofball resumes. Possibly score a late winner/equaliser with a Mata free kick/Fellaini back post header.

    Rinse and fecking repeat. Sick of it.
     
    Matic plays because he's a third centreback. His selection is necessary because the other two centrebacks aren't good enough. It's as simple as that.

    I don't get the hatred towards Mourinho on this issue. There's plenty to criticise for, but Matic makes sense.
     
    Even the live updates are sick of Jose
     
    How can you build anything when it's a different team every week. Criminal the favouritism going on with Matic. A 20 percent Pogba is better Static Matic, that dracula is sucking the energy out of the midfield.
     
    9/11. Thought Rojo was good against Arsenal and will get another chance. Wasn't Jones injured again?

    Hopefully the likes of Lukaku,Matic etc. will manage to be less shit this time.
     
    feck off Jose.

    Matic can be shit all season and always starts, yet our best midfielder on the bench.

    It would if he could do any sort of half decent defensive job.

    The goals conceded tally for our season suggests quite emphatically that he can't. He has been utter garbage this season. As bad if not worse than the centrebacks.
     
    How the feck does Matic get away with being utter shite. He’s never dropped.

    So Rojo is dropped for making a mistake, Bailly is completely out of team... and this moron constantly talks BS about stability.

    What?

    Rojo played his first game in god knows how many months. Would be stupid to play him again three days later.
     
    Why is Martial not playing? Injured from Arsenal..
     
    Before Liverpool had VVD they did concede a few more goals, however, it didn't stop them playing attacking, scintillating football. The whole notion that if your defence is weak you can't attack fiercely and press high is nonsense. The only tools that push that mentality are those that don't understand that defending isn't comprised of four or five defenders, but, as Barcelona and others have demonstrated, defending begins with the first striker and ends with the last defender/GK. If you defend well as a team from front to back then you don't need to have world class CB's to make it work, especially against small teams!!

    Let's drop De Gea while we're at it.
     
    Think I'll give this a miss. I'm on holiday and don't wanna ruin my holiday by watching this shite. And if I somehow change my mind, at the very least, I'll give the first half a miss as we all know it'll be 0-0.

    Thing is, how do you tell one game to the next which and which isn't a good prospective line up? 46 changes to the starting line up this season. The manager doesn't have a clue and i don't either. I'm zoned out and neutral whenever i see the starting 11.

    We should still win regardless of whichever team we put out against this Fulham side.

    Hope Martial comes back soon.

    You say that, but this is a Fulham side on the upswing. So it wouldn’t surprise me to see them up thief game against us since everybody does apparently.
