You know when you got to change formation every week your manager is so done.

Such a waste of time continuing with Ole

Hard to see how we sustain possession with that team. We’ll resist the press a little better at the back, but once it leaves the back line how are we building up with Bruno, Ronaldo and Greenwood? I would have played Sancho or Lingard up front with Ronnie just to give us the ability to carry the ball a little better and to feed Ronaldo on the counter.

I'm not a fan of Lingard but I was actually this could be a good game for him. Very underwhelming lineup.

mitchmouse · Nov 6, 2021

are you telling me Cavani isn't even on the bench? is he injured? if not Ole to do one...

smi11ie · Nov 6, 2021

I think Utd will be lucky to get a draw but I don't think that is enough. Win at home (for a change) or pack your bags and take your lick-spittles with you.

Needham · Nov 6, 2021

There's games in which they don't score and KDB is off form, so there's that. Chins up.

DRJosh · Nov 6, 2021

He wants to avoid a loss at all costs. That team line-up tells the whole story. The agenda today for Ole is to avoid another thrashing.

Injured.

I had these superstitions of not posting in match day thread before the match or select squad. Thought It'd bring bad result. But then we are playing shitty anyway so I had let go and now just endure from distance.

Nothing like those superstitions.

mitchmouse · Nov 6, 2021

f@cking hell... the City bench could beat our XI

Smores · Nov 6, 2021

Jose line up that. Ole's at the wheel and parked the bus apparently.

Don't blame him, he'll be over the moon with a 0-0 as it'll keep him in the job.

Let's hope we can counter, certainly the talent on the pitch to do so..

Devil may care · Nov 6, 2021

Surprised that Mason is starting over Rashford, the rest is as expected.

MayosNoun · Nov 6, 2021

Would absolutely love a Man Utd, West Ham and Chelsea win this weekend.

Siezard · Nov 6, 2021

Livescore put it as 343. (Bruno further up)

Flashscore as 352

Deery · Nov 6, 2021

Never been so unenthusiastic about a match in my life, hope I’m wrong but can’t see it.

DM07 · Nov 6, 2021

First time in years I can see a Manchester derby without any stress. If we win great, if we lose badly then Ole is sacked. Win-win.

charlenefan · Nov 6, 2021

Can't get away from the feeling that we're in Moyes territory where he lost 0-3 at home to Liverpool and then by the same score a week later to City

Might not be 0-5 again but I see no result other than a City win

Van de Beek and Sancho really were the transfers of the decade

and I'd still play them both ahead of picking Maguire

Sure. However if you cannot retain possession and are not a threat on the counter attack that becomes very difficult.

You might have to wait until tomorrow for West Ham.

so we'll be behind inside the first 10 minutes

Funnily enough, I've never been more confident.

I genuinely believe we're gonna win this one.

RedIan · Nov 6, 2021

10/11 had Rashford instead of Greenwood…
you just know he would go for 5 defenders at home..
this is how crap are defence and DM are..

I am like that for every game now. Feel disinterested, any way, the message is that the season has been thrown away by keeping Ole.

lex talionis · Nov 6, 2021

A bit pathetic it’s come to this.

Swearing Budgie · Nov 6, 2021

I've got a horrible feeling that City might win this one

He’s always changed his system / formation / tactics on a regular basis. Flexibility

DRJosh · Nov 6, 2021

How will Sancho adapt to the Premier League if his chances of starting are virtually zero?

fergieisold · Nov 6, 2021

Should be a good chance of a win, ole shown he’s more than capable of going toe to toe with pep.

Thank God that we replaced Jose with attacking manager they said

So Rashford is well enough for the bench, but not well enough to start?

If he isn't well, he should be in the matchday squad. If he's in the matchday squad he's well enough to play, and so, the conclusion is that he is being rotated with Greenwood. Simple as that.

He's been sick and is not fit to play 90 minutes but well enough to come on and do a job for a bit if we need him.

There, conspiracy theory solved

I’m hoping and praying for an early City goal to force a change away from this ultra negative setup.

We have the attacking talent to beat City ffs!!!!

We beat City 2-0 the last time we played them. Seriously, am I living in a twilight realm where everyone has lost their memory?

bosnian_red · Nov 6, 2021

Lineup is fine but the actual player selection is rarely the actual issue with Ole. It's coaching them to play as a unit.

redshaw · Nov 6, 2021

Not expecting much to happen with Greenwood and Ronaldo.

Just hope it's not an utterly embarrassing scoreline.

DRJosh said:

The same way Donny has. Give it time and his chances of starting will remain at virtually zero.

DomesticTadpole · Nov 6, 2021

I actually put 2-1 win for United in the match prediction, so you never know. We will have to be on top of our game though.

Sparky Rhiwabon · Nov 6, 2021

“The club has moved on from the Liverpool game”

Thats a relief.

Needham · Nov 6, 2021

God, I hope we don't embarrass ourselves in front of Simon Jordan.

DRJosh · Nov 6, 2021

Ole's playing with imaginary wingbacks today

Cloud7 · Nov 6, 2021

The last weekend WI and United played we scored the lowest score we ever made in a T20 and United lost 5-0 to Liverpool. We actually batted okay today. Good signs for United maybe?
