Sure but what if someone gets injured today. I think Morgan, Memphis and Mickhi should have had a chance today.
Rashford again on the wing which isn't ideal too.

Rashford again on the wing which isn't ideal too.
That's a pretty poor City side on paper. Should be winning this.
Ok, cheers. I'm hoping he's rusty and Ibra bullies him.No Mkhitaryan again
Blind in midfield please
They have done well in previous cup ties. A very young City side. It will be embarrassing if they outplay us at home with such a young team.Rojo and Blind. No, just no.I will be surprised if that CB pairing doesn't make at least one costly mistakeWhat was the point in buying Miki?
Really? I'm thinking 12.Rojo - Blind
And where is Micky already, what the feck?
Worst thing is, I wouldn't be at all surprised.
Not half as surprised as they will be.So MUCH wrong with that team Jesus Christ.
Blind and Rojo is an absolute calamity in defense
Pogba in 10 when he is absolutely shit there. Does Mourinho even realize that?
No Martial and Mkhitaryan. Fantastic players not getting in somehow Rashford is on the wing again.
MATA AT WINGER! Why is he playing there??? He's crap there.
Honestly can someone explain this to me because I am baffled.
That usually works. Cheers!
To prevent Arsenal or Liverpool getting him. Mourinho knew he wouldn't use him, but he also knew he'd be great for them.Crap line-up, two players wide who aren't actual wide players and a lopsided CB duo.Does anyone else get a sick feeling every time they see a match day squad now with no Miki...and no explanation? Hate the thought of losing such a talented player. Hope there is a real plan for him that we juts don't know.
I guess but you can't go into games thinking like that, deffo agree though that at least one of those three should have started, but then I've wanted to see Carrick-Herrera-Pogba, this is the chance, Mkhitaryian should be playing instead of Carroll though that would have also allowed Rashford to play up top.At least midfield 3 is what we've wanted all season... plus mata starting, but the center backs are brutal here, plus martial and mkhitaryan missing. Hope they step it up
You wonder if Smalling has been dropped or if he said he was fit on Sunday and wasn't. If he is injured, we are short of CB's. Where have I heard that before?So two wide players in Mata and Rashford that aren't actually wide players. Then again we had proper wide players against city and they were beyond shocking, so who knows...
Nice to see Carrick.That midfield looks good on paper, just hope they all perform because that defence looks hopeless.
Which CB pair would you play?
Where would you play Pogba? Where is he best at? Left in a midfield 3 maybe?United are to football what Lindsay Lohan was to acting. Clearly talented but most times we sadly turn up too late and get fired.
No Micki makes zero sense to me, I'm guessing Jose is trying to make a point with him. Martial has a foot injury it seemsPogba won't be playing in his natural position. Erm DM, erm box to box CM, number 10.
There, I covered all corners.
You know that how?Looks like a 4-3-1-2 to me, with Carrick central, Herrera on the right and Pogba on the left. Mata in behind Rashford and Ibra.
That's the only way this selection makes sense.
Well I obviously can't be trustedNever again will I listen to unsubstantiated Caf posts telling me that Romero is starting
9/11, thought we'd play with two either side of Zlatan. A diamond is interesting, though. I think that's our best midfield, too.
It seems to be Groundhog day when it comes to us and CB's. I don't know why he didn't just play Darmian there.I'll tell you one thing...looking at that City team if we lose tonight then feck me we are going to getting slaughtered from all sides of the media....
I'm glad I'm going to Munich tomorrow so won't get to hear it but still...
That's some pretty damning criticism of Mourinho if you genuinely believe he manages the club's transfers in this way.
Aah. The old "bounce factor" as horse racing pundits call it.Hate the way Jose alienates players. HM situation is ridiculous. No Martial too is strange. He will turn the fans against him at this rate. He's certainly doing it to me.I'm going 2-0 city. Kompany will nullify any threat Zlatan offers leaving us basically playing with 10 men.
Apparently that was the case with Willian except Willian became a regularWish this cup didn't exist tbh.- Status
