    I know we are probably going to lose, but I really hope we can avoid being embarrassed again. Some part of me is hoping that with a bit of luck, a world-class performance by DDG and some Ronaldo magic we can even get land a lucky punch here.
     
    Can’t believe Cavani is injured what the hell is going on
     
    Crap 10 mins before announcement rumours are always crap. Why do people fall for them every single week?
     
    Greenwood and Ronaldo have scope to play as split strikers, drifting wide and cutting in on to their stronger foot.
     
    I think this is my first 11/11 this season.

    The right decision to bench Rashford imo.
     
    I don't think it matters all that much who plays today. Will likely be chaotic/unorganised leaking goals regardless.

    Come on, United!
     
    Looks like a back 5 again. Not confident at all in Maguire and Lindelof
     
    Greenwood starting with Ronaldo is better than Rashford & Ronaldo

    Greenwood is more a striker who plays within those positions.

    Hopefully this is a good performance that unleashes this as a potential partnership for us.

    Right footed, left footed.

    Bruno. Come on!!
     
    We've pulled some unexpected results out of the bag against City and with no Varane, Pogba, Rashford, or Cavani, this will be seriously unexpected. Shitting it.
     
    3-5-2 from now on, it seems.

    Basically, f**** all the talented wide players we have from now on. :lol:

    Why have Sancho providing the width on the right as he's done for Dortmund excellently, when we can make AWB our entire attacking width on that side? Sheeeeeeeeeiiiiiiit.
     
    10/11 had Rashford upfront not Greenwood, if I knew he was out I would’ve switched

    they havent look particularly good linking up I feel, could be a a lot of selfish play where they just end up losing the ball really quick.

    Spent years trying to get a right winger only to get one and then change to a formation that doesn’t require one. At least there’s a plan.

    Is he out or just dropped for Mason? He was poor alongside Ronny - don’t think it suits him at all - neither can hold the ball up.

    Greenwood’s even worse at it. Also doesn’t make those dangerous runs that Rashford is so good at. Marcus out is such a big blow to the way Ole plays. Hopefully Ronnie and Greenwood can play well together as a strikeforce.

    In fairness - Liverpool can rip team to shreds when Mane and Salah have a good day - City don't have the same firepower - and they can't counter teams like Liverpool can. But they can roll the ball around for ages. I always feel getting that first goal against City is vital.
     
    With Cavani out, that's the best of what's left.

    Thank god Pogba's suspended or I'm sure Ole would have sound some way to stick him in the team.
     
    Not really relevant but I still do a double take when I see Ronnie's name on the team sheets. Unreal that he's back.

    We might revert to a back 4 after the international break, but Ole is still in survival mode and needs to get through this without suffering a hammering.

    What’s the alternative against top teams when we play Ronaldo up top?

    Rashfords defensive contribution, both in terms of pressing high up the pitch and actually helping his fullback is close to 0, same goes for Greenwood. Play all three together against top teams and we’ll get Liverpool’d
     
    Another cowardly back 5 (or 7)... Greenwood is a pleasant surprise :drool:

    We've not missed out on Conte. No chance he'd have joined Spurs had we had any interest.

    So we did miss out on Conte. Just like we did Tuchel.
     
    Rashford on the counter is normally a very effective weapon to have in a game where Solskjaer looks to counter, so I'm surprised he's been left on the bench.
