Its not Southgate''s fault that Jones cant stay fit.
You have to release players if called up.

As Mourinho says players from other clubs develop mysterious injuries when international friendlies come around and stay with their clubs and rest. Jones was actuallycarrying an injury but Southgate still played him. Would Southgate or the FA have brought charges had Jones stayed home? I seriously doubt it.Read somewhere yesterday that this game is still too soon for Pogba. I'm sure we've been reading the same line since Liverpool away.
Any chance of seeing our 3 best attackers starting in a front 3 this weekend?Hope to see :
----------------DeGea----------------
Valencia--Bailly----Smalling--Young
---------------Matic------------------
-----Herrera------Fella/Pogba------
Rashford------Lukaku-------Martial8 matches played , second highest rated United player so far this season, 2 Man of the Matches , yeah he is not good enough
We'll agree to disagree. Fellaini is an average player who shouldn't be playing and we'll never win the league with him as part of our midfield in my view.
Until he got injured he was doing more than an average job filling in for Pogba, since the EL Final he has more way more than average.Pogba and Ibrahimovic might make the bench, according to Neil Custis.

Fantastic if true. Imagine the tiring Newcastle side around the 75min, look over at the changes being made and Zlatan and Pogba are about to come onKey is to score early, at least in the first half. Newcastle will park the bus.
Indeed. Newcastle have the 5th best defensive record in the league thus far (have conceded the same number of goals as Chelsea).
Benitez may be a bit of a clown, but he knows how to set up a side defensively.
When Fellaini is one of your better players, that tells you all you need to know about the quality of your squad..!!
So it's setting up to be a bore draw then?
I think we'll beat them, although it might take a late winner to do it. I expect them to be pretty resilient.
Precisely!If we get an early goal, we should go on to win comfortably, if not, it could be a long afternoon.
Feel we need to win every game from now to the City game, build up some confidenceIt is time to resurrect ourselves and get the streak started from the Newcastle game. Even last year we got a run going and we were 6th but we're in a better position this year and must be able to get ourselves back on track.Cannot wait, seems like ages ago last time we played.A favourable home game, our first since the last game before the previous international break
No more internationals until April I think. By then we'll all be ready for it to end or buzzing.I was going to say we need to watch out for Merino because he's good under pressure and could escape our press to unleash a counter attack but he's out injured which is good for us but a bit of a shame in general as he's been doing well so far.
I think Ritchie's been really good this year so whoever is our LB will need to do well on the day. Lascelles is also a doubt which would be a huge bonus as he's not only Newcastles best defender but he's a big threat from set-pieces.No chance Jones will play?I dreamed last night that we were losing 0-2 and equalised in the dying minutes. Jose walked up to De Gea who was doing cart wheels and just smiled creepy. The camera zoomed in his face and then the commentator said United got all the three points despite drawing. Also I was watching the game on United Hour soundcloud page.Will Ferrell is up against Lawro in the BBC predictions this week, and he reckons we're going to lose 0-10. Doubt starting to creep in now.
You like that?
Sounds like my kind of dream.
Who was that against?@Red Katie
Palace which seems like a lifetime ago
Thanks!Press conference today?
1.30 PM
Thanks.I don't know about you but I am desperate for this game. It feels like ages since the Chelsea game and by extension longer still since we last won. We need to set that right tomorrow evening.Last edited:
Yeah, 19:30 kick off here, it's late enough to have all the time to go to the sauna in the afternoon and knock down a few cold ones and take it easy. Also there's time to cook a dinner before the game.Is Pogba fit for this one? It would a big boost if he is but we should win this comfortably even without him. Must win really. We will probably be 11 points behind City by kick off and I'd even go as far as saying our title hopes are over if we don't win.
Hehe. I don't mind it either but what I don't like is 5pm sunday kick-off's.
Don't think Pogba is ready to start, based on his short amount of time in full training, but hoping he'll make an appearance in the last 20.Pogba doesn't need to play and aggravate his injury. He can rest and so can Jones, Rojo and Zlatan. We just need to play a decent passing game and get the job done. A 1-0 or 2-0 victory is good enough and we can save the good players for the future games.
Louis is that you?Must win. I've been wondering all season is we are title challengers, I'm still not sure but we have to keep up with the league leaders, even being so far from the finish line. Hopefully they drop some points too.
Seeing pogba and ibra back in the team would be great, but I guess Pogba is the closest full fitness and he might be a likely sub. Ibra just there for morale, surely?- Status
