    Sky are saying Maguire and Ronaldo dropped. ETH has big balls. We could get smashed tonight but I have full faith in him.

    I heard that too. Dropping Maguire surely puts to bed the idea some have suggested that we'll be going with 3 CBs tonight, which is a good thing as we've never looked comfortable with three at the back.
     
    Finally a manager with balls to drop Maguire and Ronaldo!

    The beginning of the end for Maguire.

    Rarely look comfortable with 2 either to be fair :lol:
     
    We're not guaranteed much else to be happy about so going to savor the Ronaldo and Maguire droppings while the feel good lasts. Probably won't change the result but moving on from them being given undisputed first choice is a great omen

    Yuck
     
    No he doesn’t. Other than the re-arranged game in the BCD season, I cannot for the life of me remember him ever scoring against us?

    Europa League is the only other one I think of.

    But that doesn't count, it's only a mickey mouse trophy.
     
    Is Ronnie going to throw a big baby strop if he's dropped?
     
    Great to see big calls being made. Varane Lisandro Casemiro is a solid def core
     
    Even if we get spanked and the defence is a mess, the manager is absolutely right and should persist with it.

    We could get smashed but I think we'd all rather see us get smashed without those two in the lineup. Sometimes your time is up and starting certain players just means the negativity is aimed at the manager insead.
     
    How do we know they've been dropped when the teams haven't been announced? I know it's being reported on Sky and such but it seems weird that the info is just out there.
     
    How fecking difficult can it be to tell the difference between Eriksen and Erikson? And that's just in one page :lol:
    He's a United player for Christ's sake.
    My phone wants it to be Erikson tbf. Not sure why?

    If we keep a clean sheet it could be the end, but if we get another nightmare at the back, things we’ll be tough for Martinez and EtH.

    Even if we’re a mess at the back, the solution shouldn’t be to revert back to Maguire. It’s been a shit show for too long with him with multiple different partners. He’s the common denominator in the mess.
     
    Joining late, what's this about Maguire being dropped? Is it just collective hope or has something been leaked?

    We just lost 4-0 to a midtable team. No version of tonight's scoreline should change anything
     
    Who is the leak about the players being dropped if they indeed end not starting?
     
    Take a shot every time Sky show Ronaldo on the bench.

    What I mean is that after conceding 6 goals in 1.5 game, Martinez hasn’t really been a success. It might be better to let Maguire take the heat and hit, and rest Martinez this game as a third disaster is tough for a new signing. That’s what I meant.


    Personally, I wouldn’t start any of Maguire and Martinez after last two matches but that’s another story.
     
    Doubt this goes ahead.
    Peaceful protest, hopefully it does go ahead, a big result against Liverpool and our season can start from here. We postpone the game and Liverpool could be in form and spank us.

    Good things will happen tonight.

    Yes. Just like two seasons ago when they were bad when we were supposed to play, later they got good and won the postponed game.
