Hope the break will be a good opportunity for Ralph and the players to come back stronger.

I ll put a team of few substitutes.

Why when most have had two weeks off?

Our fans would be doing the exact same thing.

Exactly, most fans chants about the opposition involve abuse aimed at some characteristic of the opposition team / area. Eg poverty is a major issue, that no doubt affects many a football fan, will clubs now start clamping down on fans mocking that...I've sung along to you'll never get a job etc etc...

I agree. I think it's inevitable. Too much ammunition for a good song.

Chong is still on loan to Birmingham. Only here to regain full fitness from injury.

Can we keep him. I would rather he get minutes than Lingard or Mata

I did that too but I explained to the wife we’re going to have to cancel our night out, she’s left me and taken the kids, the dog and the tortoise which is a shame but really looking forward to the game on Friday.

Sweet, peace and quiet for you to watch the game then

Be clever and find a venue with live football and be all surprised when they realize it.

Already in my line of thinking, the venue has yet to be decided :lol:

I’ll count him in when he returns, hopefully he’ll come back and play well but I’ll not be surprised if it takes him half the remaining games to get back to some sort of form/match fitness.

He gets injured every season and this has literally never happened. He’s usually our MOTM in his very first game back even.

God this is a depressing match now. The Mason scumbag news has almost killed my love for the club.

We’ll let’s hope he is this time, we could do with a spark, even if it’s just till the end of the season. I’m not his biggest fan but we’ll need everyone pulling in the same direction.

Why cant he understand Wayne Rooney?

Scouse accent? And the overuse of the word "Erm" ?

Definitely. He doesn’t come back rusty or anything after an injury.

Strong team. FA Cup is important and we’re playing these game raising cnuts whose cup final this will be. Keep the old (and big) guard back for Burnley in the league next week.

Our fans have already done that for Mendy this season.

SonyaCross493 · Feb 1, 2022

It'll be nice just to focus on watching football for once after a very long 2 weeks. Try and win to bring some positivity back to the forum.

sick of the football breaks.. a very stop-start season it's not flowing

nobody would spend so much time focusing on the negative stuff if we was playing twice a week. Hopefully the next few weeks is non-stop football.

I wouldn't be surprised if we give Lingard a start as a 'sweetener' for denying him his loan. But I'd probably use him from the bench.

(...)

I´d actually be a bit surprised. It wasn´t RR´s decision to keep him, and RR hasn´t left me with the impression that he´s rewarding players wanting away.

Don’t think Fred and Telles will start this game. Brazil play tonight. They’ll be ready for the burnley game. Think it’ll be

henderson

Dalot Varane Maguire Shaw

Matic McT
Bruno
Rashford Ronaldo Sancho

That´s probably it.

5 subs allowed, so hopefully we´ll see some youth coming on.

Red Dreams · Feb 2, 2022

I expect Ralf to field a strong team.
And if we are 2 or 3 ahead to give some players rest for the Burnley match on Tuesday.

suheilsworld · Feb 2, 2022

Telles played the full game and Fred was an unused sub against Paraguay. Good Fred got that rest

RikRuud · Feb 2, 2022

Strong team needed, take the competition seriously and hopefully score a few goals to build confidence and gain momentum.

On itv this so i cannot watch it in Ireland.

Must be one today at some point I'm guessing as the game is tomorrow.

Bondi77 · Feb 3, 2022

Surely Hendo gets the FA Cup gig and going by last season Jesse comes to life in the second part so let us take advantage of that.

80% of it will be about a certain ongoing case unfortunately

British journos just focus on one topic and ask the same questions but in different ways

I assumed this too, but seems a bit later than usual only the day before?

If Lingard is staying we might as well make him earn his keep. Start him in this game.

JLingz has been pretty bad for us, for a while. I think he wants to go to West Ham. I have no idea why we didn't let him.
I believe that playing with him in the team will be like playing with 10 men.

Team news and injury updates

"Yes, Paul [Pogba] will be part of the group he might even be in the starting XI, Edi Cavani will only return at the weekend, he contacted me at the weekend and asked to have two more days at home, I knew he couldn't be in starting XI with jet lag. Victor Lindelof has been ill the whole week and not training, the same is true with Jesse if we could give him a couple of days off to clear his mind. He will be back in training on Monday and part of the whole squad.

Poor old Jessie

Are there any other players in our squad who can get away with this?

Lingard.

Has free time to do photo dump on insta but wants few days to clear head. Dubai vacation didnt help in clearing head.

Atleast Cavani had to go to South America to play football. Still not correct

Phil Jones' twin, Baily out injured again.

Poor old Jessie

It's pathetic and this guy needs to leave ASAP.

He has been given an opportunity to be more involved with games and possibly starts and his first priority is he wants to stay home and suck his thumb.

TMDaines · Feb 3, 2022

Look forward to slamming the door on Lingard and Cavani in the summer. Neither help themselves.
