    That’s one way of putting it. We don’t have any other physical ST so we’re screwed when we’re playing teams that sit deep and we haven’t got Hojlund.
     
    Hojlund injury is a big downer. Was looking forward to seeing him score again today. Sigh. Now i'm not as enthused about watching us. Especially if Antony plays. Need to win this one because the next PL game is City away.
     
    I feel Rashford will step up and score today. No reason. Just a hunch now that he isn’t expected to be the main source of goals with Hojlund proving himself

    He’s got 10 goal contributions. It’s not a lot in comparison with his salary, but at least something. Antony has 2, with both against League 2 opponent
     
    Fulham shocked Arsenal in December (2:1), but United in shaky form were able to beat them 1:0 away. So with Rashford or Forson, just roll the dice, and let the reality of situation continue unfolding.

    Could be good, open game. Fulham matches are usually about 2+ goals, this season.
     
    With Rasmus injured we should start with

    Garnacho......Rashford.....Amad

    or

    Rashford......McT......Garnacho

    However, we all know ETH will go with

    Garnacho.....Rashford.......Antony

    and Antony and Rashford will do nothing, and there is a 50/50 chance Garnacho has a good game.
     
    Looks like Forson is indeed starting today. So much for ETH's apparent love for Antony. :rolleyes:

    People go way overboard with ETH having some kind of favourites in team when he has shown he is not afraid to drop anyone. Good thing he hasn't disrupted Garnacho playing on the right. He has some good performances there. Doesn't need messing around.

    For the record, I did predict that Antony would start in the lineup prediction, good thing he isn't.
     
    I don't see it with Forson. Hoping to be proven wrong.
     
    Another chance for a youngster to shine after an injury.
     
    Ten Hag showing a lot of conviction in playing Forson up front instead of taking the easier option of bringing in Antony and putting Rashford up front. I like it.

    I also hate Lindelof at left back, but all the options were a bit meh
     
    Fulham are in really poor form - the only win in 2024 was at home to Bournemouth and that was a robbery. Bournemouth had something like 25-26 goal attempts against 7-8 for Fulham and still lost 3-1. On top of that - their best player is out.

    Yeah he is a central mid - never really impressed me for the reserves, but he was extremely highly rated when we signed him some 2 years ago

    You should get banned if we lose today. Jinxing fecker.
     
    I hope Forson has a steady game and we have always got the option of McTominay if we need a goal later on. Come on United.
     
    Like the decision to play Forson. Even if he doesn't have a good game it's the right decision to try a young player rather than senior players we know will piss about.

    Yeah I think it says a lot about where Antony is currently in the pecking order, and any mention of favouritism from the manager is kinda bs for the past 2-3 months.

    Brave starting Orson but I agree...I like it! Hope he has a good game.

    Usually plays as the deeper of the CMs and hes captain of the u21s. He's mainly about getting the ball and passing, keeping things ticking. Looked like he might be a bit more technical when he was at Brighton but not sure its there now.

    Agreed. The most positive move was either starting Forson or Amad. Happy with either
     
    This feels like a game Bruno will win for us.

    Going for 2-0 United, Bruno with both of them .

    Put your house on it.

    Tbf, while I agree the favouritism talk is overblown, playing Antony right now represents a big risk for ETH. There's so much being said in the press about how much of an expensive flop he's been. Unless he's sure he'll come in and have a good game, playing him is just asking for trouble, so not suprised he's benching him.
     
    Huge game an opportunity for Forson. It'll be interesting to see if he starts centrally like reported. My understanding is that he's typically more of a wide forward? I can see the logic of keeping the wide players as they were though. Presumably Dalot stays right back with Lindelof left.
     
    Best of luck to forsun today! Not sure what to expect given no Shaw, Martinez and hojlund... Hope for the best.
     
    I predict Pereira will get himself on the score sheet, and forson will have a nothing burger game.
