    Get goals, get the game won, get players off the pitch okay.

    I'd be tempted to see that. Weghorst has not impressed me. Think we can have better chances of goals with Rash at 9, even if he has limitations in that position too.

    Suspended :(
     
    I'd give Nacho a start to make up for the sub in the last game. That and he's good enough as well to work this lot over.

    DDG

    AWB
    Varane
    Martinez
    Shaw

    Fred
    Sabitzer
    Bruno

    Rashford
    Garnacho
    Weghorst
     
    With all the excitement of city getting their pants pulled down, totally forgot we have a game midweek!
     
    So with the injuries and suspensions...

    DdG

    Shaw
    Martinez
    Varane
    AWB

    Fred
    Sabitzer
    Bruno

    Rashford
    Wout
    Sancho

    Is how I'd line up.
     
    I think it'll be two easy wins against these lot and a great opportunity to rest some of our more weary personnel.

    (Hope this doesn't bite in me in the backside)

    With Licha just in case on stanby to reinforce midfield and take Casemiro's role, theoretically should be enough on Leeds.

    You could usually get away with overplaying defenders and I think Martinez has a pretty decent injury record so we should be ok in theory.
     
    De Gea

    Dalot
    Varane
    Martinez
    Shaw

    Fred
    Salbezer
    Bruno

    Garnacho
    Rashford
    Sancho

    If Dalot is fit he should go straight back into the team as he adds far more to our attacking game then AWB does, and we should dominate the ball in this match. This Weghorst nonsense needs to stop too. Play our best attackers and use Wout as a sub if needed.

    Move overseas then. You can’t both host the entire league AND expect to watch every game on tv. Do you hear any of us from overseas complaining that we can’t travel to every game?

    Why not? Living on the same mass of land doesn't mean it's immediately possible for fans to attend every game. I'm just shy of a 12 hour round trip from Manchester these days, and if it's an away game, almost zero chance of majority of fans getting a ticket anyway.

    Though the main annoyance here is that it's being played outside of the Saturday blackout, so there's no excuse for it to not be televised. And not choosing to televise a rivalry game against Leeds in the first place is just bonkers.

    Rescheduled fixture that wasn't originally for broadcast. A joke, again. Laughable how this happens all the time, whereas people overseas are able to watch.

    So strange that it wasn’t originally scheduled for broadcast. Did Sky choose to show Brentford v Arsenal instead? :lol:

    Rashford is a better #9 against teams who will attack us, Leeds will sit deep so we need someone like Wout/ Martial who can hold the ball up and recover the ball, we would be better off with Sancho and Rashford wide with Bruno behind Wout
     
    Game built for Wout.

    Ddg, dalot, varane, licha, shaw, Fred, sabitzer, Sancho, Bruno, rashford, Wout.

    Garnacho to run the legs off them in second half with Bruno moving to the right and rashford up top.

    "Weghorst nonsense" aside why would you want to move Rashford out of his best position? :wenger:

    If Wout was even remotely good enough I’d agree, but apart from his workrate he offers virtually nothing in an attacking sense. He doesn’t even hold the ball up or bring others into play particularly well. He’s just so far off the standard required. If Martial was fit he’d obviously start. Everytime Wout has come off our attack has gone up a gear or two & looked far more cohesive. That’s not a coincidence. He’s just not very good.

    Was this a serious comment? It's probably one of the most ridiculous arguments I've ever seen on here.

    You make out like we've already hogged the ENTIRE league - of course we have? It's the English Premier league. Who else would host it?

    Your weekly reminder that Supersport 2 Albania shows every United league game in HD with English commentary.
     
    I hope Dalot is fully fit. I’m unsure about chucking him in after a few weeks out against Gnonto who is flying.
     
    Worried tbh at both games now they'll have the new manager bounce.

    Whenever we end up playing a new manager we lose typically.

    What a load of nonsense. He holds the ball up well, lays it off well, makes good moves in the box and presses like a maniac. Couldn‘t ask more from a temporary striker.

    Ten Jag thinks he is doing great, but you must know better.

    Sometimes it's enough to fill a hole rather than expand on what you've got. With Martial's injury crisis (as in, if it doesn't change, his career won't amount to much more...), there was a hole, and there wasn't enough to improve on the situation. Although less bad/dire is also a form of improvement, I guess.

    Wout is like those 78 players you get in PES/Fifa to fill your MyClub/FUT team before you actually have enough coins to get a greater player to play more fully according to your plans, but who does the job as [tall-ish striker with decent technical skills] that fits next to your better unpacked players like Rashford and Bruno. Bad comparison but I like video games.
     
    De Gea

    4-3-3 I'd go for.
    ...........DDG.....
    AWB.....Varane...Martinez....Shaw
    .....Fred....Bruno....Sabitzer..
    ..Sancho...Wout... Rashford...

    Mctom to come on if available, Garnacho as well. Lindelof as well can cover in CM or CB, Maguire . Dalot , Pellistri .
    3pts is a requirement in this game and on weekend.
     
    De Gea
    AWB - Varane - Martinez - Malacia
    Sabitzer - Fred
    Rashford - Bruno - Garnacho
    Weghorst
    ​
    Revised line-up without Antony. I don't think Sancho will be ready to start.
