    Nope, don't like that line up. What jars for me is the bench. Look at the quality on there. But we're starting with Dan James and MCT? They must be beasts in training, otherwise I don't get it. Ole sticking his neck out with this line up. If we lose this he'll get absolutely hammered for it.
     
    Gob smacked no Pogba, he ran the game midweek. We are at home and Ole is picking 2 defensive midfielders, what a coward. How about teams bloody worrying about our attacking players.

    He definitely did not run the game nor did he control it. He provided a match winning moment, the short termism here is crazy.

    He probably should play instead of James though.
     
    Might be in for another Spurs like battering today. Please let me be wrong.
     
    That's the spirit :lol:

    James has it all to prove for sure. He needs to be doing what he's good at, using his pace to get in behind and working his bollocks off up and down the flank. If he's barely in the game and/or only having it played into feet we can forget about getting anything out of him whatsoever and as you suggest Mason may as well come on after half an hour.
    I can get the theory of what he’s doing. And if James is going to be part of the squad this is probably the type of game it makes sense to use him in. The two defensive midfielders is more my concern.

    100% agree mate. Said after the game on here that I thought, bar a couple of moment of excellence, he was shite against SU. The Leeds press would destroy him.
     
    Gosh we need to win this. Above Jose with a game in hand. You love to see it!
     
    People here disagree with the line up.

    Which means we will win. I would be ok with it.
     
    Pogba could cure cancer and Coronavirus, make peace in the Middle East and he still would get any credit from this crowd.

    Apparently, he was brought for this reason but his form isn’t showing this currently.
     
    If we don’t win this it will be the 500th time in 8 years we’ve failed to move into the top 4.
     
    Oh ok, I wasn't aware that you're only allowed to watch the match if you say positive things. Thanks
    That's not what I said. Seems you've already decided it's shit and we've lost. So I'll ask again, why bother watching?

    A solid base from which to counter? Fred and particularly Scott have been working all week on their progressive passing in transition to launch attacks? I'm not sure either to be honest, I'm praying it's yet another case of 'Caf likes lineup = shite, Caf hates lineup = brilliant'.
     
    I can see why Pogba is on the bench. His style of play is not suited for today where Leeds will not let you get time on the ball. Our players need to release the ball quick today instead of doing the Pogba wrestle in the middle of the park.
     
    Been looking forward to this game all week....the line up as already put me on a massive downer. I hope I’m wrong and we win but I see nothing in that side capable of creating anything. It’s a defend deep and try counter with Dan fukin James tactic.
     
    I mean we clearly are progressing and we have to rotate, we will win today, relax.
    I hate how we play. Away at city or Liverpool fair enough, but against teams like Leeds I wish he’d be a bit less pragmatic. Considering he was a fearless forward as a player he’s a very cautious defensive coach.

    So what are Fred and McTominay gonna be knocking it about the park? they’re gonna sit deep and hoof it upfront to nobody.

    Goodness me. Manchester United fans still obsessing about José. It is in the past. Let it go.
     
    I don't care for Liverpool but I full on hate Leeds, being brought up in that part of the world.
     
    Is Ole ever going to settle on a first choice XI and system? All successful teams seem to have those!
