  • Need 10 pts from the last 12 games to ensure our safety. Surely we can manage a draw here.
     
    I want to see Højlund come in for the last 15-25 minutes and just give it all against tired bodies.
    This is where all our young players seem best, it's a real catch 22. Would think, given our issues, you start Zirkzee up top, then Hojlund comes on if we need to chase the game and are being more direct. Obi as well, can whack both him and Hojlund up top if we need to chase the game.
     
    I'm trying to be optimistic and will go for a 2-1 win but I don't think it will be a particularly pretty game.
     
    --------------------Hojlund -------------------
    ----- Garnacho Zirkzee Bruno
    --------- Casemiro Ugarte Mainoo--------
    ------------ Yoro Maguire Deligt


    Once Diallo is fit we should play him from the right and Bruno behind Zirkzee.
     
    watch us start 5 defenders +1 defensive midfielder against the mighty Ipswich at OT,all Ipswich have to do is,to pin our wingbacks and allow the 3 CBs pass slowly to each other after taking 3/4 touches.
     
    We are so awful at home, even more so than away! Expect a pedestrian start, no urgency and poor passing. Ipswich will take the lead through parried shot by Onana, with Utd getting equaliser in 89th min only to lose to goal in 93rd min!

    That's how predictable we are this season!
     
    Well in Ruben's early games in charge of UTD I'm sure I read somewhere that he liked what Mount was doing in training on the rare occasion when he wasn't out injured.
    This isn't on you but just another annoyance of mine. Its high time we stopped putting any stock into what these players do in training. They're playing against each other. Of course they're going to look great.

    Somebody asked if Mount would play for UTD again, I merely pointed out that Ruben liked what he saw from Mount, as for me, I think Mount's been bloody awful at UTD.
     
    Can’t be doing with Zirkzee up front - he’s shocking up top. Looks better as a 10.

    For me you can’t not play Garnacho. He’s the only player across the front 3 with any intensity. The game on Saturday changed when he came on and Bruno dropped into CM.

    I’d stick Obi on. He’s not short on confidence, it might be a bit of a slap in the face Hojlund needs after 12 games goalless and there aren’t many easier games for him to start.

    If it goes wrong give it to Giggseh til the end of the season

    I don’t follow this setup or structure, 3-3-3-1?
