I can already see it..
Cameraman pans over to Casemiro grimacing in his seat, questioning his decisions in life, as we concede yet another goal and the OT crowd booing our own players.
I jest of course.
Or am I?
Today's the day, huh
no he won't - visa hold up. we really can't just get a transfer down quickly and simply, can we?We desperately need to find something from somewhere. Evidence suggests that that's unlikely.
I've been trying to do a preferred starting line-up here but I'm basically finding it impossible to put together a line-up that I don't basically hate so I'm going to leave it
ah but you're forgetting the great news that the new men in the same old suits have made our social media wonderful.. or so we are toldI keep forgetting we are playing today - which might be for the best!We have absolutely zero chance getting anything from this matchBit of a weird one but I'd genuinely line up like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------De Gea-------------------------------------------------------------------------
AWB--------------------------------------Varane-----------------------Martinez-----------------------------------------Malacia
---------------------------------------------------Jones--------------------Mctom-----------------------------------------------------
Sancho---------------------------------------------------Erikson------------------------------------------------------------------Garnacho
---------------------------------------------------------------Elanga--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know that team is a bit weird and basically shit but I honestly think it gives us the best chance of grabbing something. Ronaldo to come on after about 50 minutes.I find it quite hard to predict tonight's line up, especially whether Eric is going to drop Harry and shaw or not.At the stage where avoiding a 4 - 5 goal thrashing seems the realistic thing we can hope for. Really, we just want to see the fight, determination and some cohesive passages of play regardless of result.
Logically, am scratching my head on how is it possible to get a win, but football is a strange game. We need to channel the times of John O'shea's winner against them and shithouse our way to victory somehow.
If so we are playing chess while every one else is playing checkersPersonally I think the team is relatively easy to predict tonight. The defence is nailed in stone with Varane coming in for Maguire and Malacia in for shaw. Martinez won’t be abandoned just yet I think this will be a huge opportunity for Varane and Martinez to cement their place. Unfortunately I don’t think they have any chance of turning it around with the human statue behind them. Midfield raises some challenges without Casemiro here. Personally think we will bring McTominay back in after Fred’s poor display but also wouldn’t be shocked to see McFred with Bruno dropped for Eriksen. Martial is a cert to start now he’s fit. Team is very likely to be:
—————————De Gea—————————
Dalot—Varane————Martinez—Malacia
—————Erikson—————McTominay——
—————————Bruno———————————
Sancho—————Martial—————Rashford
He will drop them both. Very confident of it.I want to see fight and determination. Not fear.
Kick the feck out of them.
Rattle them. Demand 100% commitment from themselves and their team mates.
Win back self respect at least.
Exactly. This is the bare minimum.
Look at Newcastle yesterday vs City. They outworked them. Our lot would never do that.Who else is really excited for this tonight? I know we're probably gonna get tanked but this is a fixture I can't help but look forward to. Is Martial fit for tonight?
Just thinking of Diaz vs Dalot means what I'm feeling is more like a death march.
If AWB will get any game time, should be this oneI hope they are ready for war tonight. Think Lindelof, Martial and Varane starts.
Is there any reason not to start Martinez? I get it's a big game and he's new, but I doubt Liverpool will start throwing long balls to the likes of Salah, Firmino and Diaz. Even then, Martinez actually did well in the air vs Brentford. Seems a good game for a small, nimble CB that can deal with the threat on the floor and runners in behind.
And that is if the game goes ahead, which I am starting to doubtDid any journalist ask about Martial? or did they just spend the entire conference trying to get ETH to slip up and criticise the players individually.
I think Martinez starts. Maybe in a back 3?Is there any reason not to start Martinez? I get it's a big game and he's new, but I doubt Liverpool will start throwing long balls to the likes of Salah, Firmino and Diaz. Even then, Martinez actually did well in the air vs Brentford.

And that is if the game goes ahead, which I am starting to doubt
Its hard to see us do well in a 4-4-2 atm so it would make a lot of sense for this game.
You think There Will be huge protests tonight?
Yeah it certainly feels like there is something big brewing for tonight. It's hard to tell what the true intentions are of the protest, but there's whispers at least that the goal is to get the game abandoned.
Dont like it. We'll then lose 0-3 and what good will that bring.I can see Varane getting injured tonight and if that happens that's it with him for me.
Varane - Martinez is welcomed.
ETH fed up with Captain fat head after 2 games.Chances of this getting postponed?
Next to none.There is no way we can be as bad as we were at Brentford. It’s just not possible.
Really hope that we make some much needed changes. Also we can’t be as bad as we were last year either in the same fixture. They are not in the same level of form as last year and no longer have Mane.
Game will be much closer than last year and you’ve got to hope that there is a big reaction after last week.
I think Martinez might play in from of Harry and Varane. Malacia in for Shaw. Id play AWB ahead of Dalot for defensive ability.
Erikson defo starter and after that take your pick from a poor bunch. Don’t see Martial starting just yet. Will be interesting to see what he picks up top.I have never been less confident before a game than this one.
ya i just want it over with and restart after international break. Weird feelingThey're going to come at us so hard, after that start they've had. And unlike us, they have actually been playing some good football, the results aside. At least we won't have to deal with watching Maguire and Martinez trying to handle Nunez, I suppose that's a comfort.
I was thinking the same about AWB . He won’t need to get forward as Liverpool will have pinned back and he is a better defender than Dalot
This is also what I believed before each game, I said we can't be as bad as we were last season before Brighton's game, and then I said we can't be as bad as vs Brighton, and we were worse.
Sinking to new low today vs Liverpool is very possible and can't be ruled out.
Nah he's in England, the hold up is a work permit, he's got Spanish Nationality a visa to enter the country would be no problem.no he won't - visa hold up. we really can't just get a transfer down quickly and simply, can we?
Same mate, I have zero faith if the likes of Rashford, Shaw, Maguire, McTominay, Bruno, Sancho & Ronaldo line up, and the worst part is, at least 5 of the names I mentioned will have to line up as today vs Liverpool as we do not even have options on the bench.Game is 3am my time. Soo...delayed or called off? Anyway, we need to win this! Season turning game.Let’s rattle these hoofball cnuts from the off today. Hit everything that moves and hit them again just to make sure. A raucous, charged-up Old Trafford will see us over the line tonight and get our season up and running.
I have no doubt that we’ll beat these overrated Pulisball bastards.
Come on, Reds!
