    Who is out first central defender for the youth team? Bernard? Might have to play him for this one.
     
    No defence and no midfield. Excellent.

    Don't even want to predict a score.
     
    We are facing Norwich at home ffs, put dalot or young at right back and stick Bissaka next to lindelof, got to be better than f'ing jones

    ..probably. If we struggle against this mob... at home.. then, well...let's say there will some real pressure around OT. Thing is I cannot call this with any confidence at all (sigh)
     
    Don't forget Norwich's infamous win at OT during the dark LVG winter of 2015

    Confidence in the squad is on its arse, down to what 2 fit CB's and one of them is Jones, 2 CM's one of which is Matic, yeah not good
     
    If Lingard starts i give up. Not going over to the pub if he is playing.

    We will turn Norwich over comfortably. They are wretched at the back and we hammered them at their place, despite our away form being even more brutal then than it is now – and that’s feint praise.

    Back to relying on feckin Phil Jones. Never confident of anything other than an embarrassment when he plays. Norwich to win 2-0. Full on crisis ensues. We'll be linked to Verratti and Maddison on Monday.

    We will win this mate. It is bloody Norwich and we should have won 5-0 last time if not for missing pens and giving them a late goal. After this game that is the time to worry.

    2-0 to us with Martial and Rashford scoring´.
     
    Kind of confident to score a couple and perhaps win but if Ole plays Pereira and Lingard and Jones still rusty as hell then 2-2 could be on the cards.
     
    We will win this I think. It's almost easy to predict United as we never win too many in a row or lose too many in a row.
    2-0 United was my prediction. Here's my lineup:

    De Gea
    AWB Jones Lindelof Shaw
    Matic (UGH!)
    Pereira Fred
    Greenwood Martial Rashy​

    I am still staggered how LVG survived that shocking December and that result was absolutely disgraceful, can even recall the players being booed off at the end of that one.

    That kind of thing could quite easily happen again especially with the likes of Buendia, Cantwell & Pukki in that Norwich side. How the heck did we reach a situation where none of Bailly, Rojo, Axel or Maguire was available and yet again we will have to roll out Jones again.
     
    Romero

    Lindelof, Jones
    Wan-Bissaka, Matic, Williams

    Fred, Gomes
    Greenwood, Martial, Rashford

    Two of them were long term injuries yet we fecked off Smalling to Roma and went with an injury prone defender in Axel.
    Talented as he is, he will never be relied on to complete more than a few games in a row.
     
    This match will buy Ole more time because we’ll win it and his fans on here will be in everyone’s face telling us how good he is and can’t see why people want him out and to trust the process yada yada .
     
    With Jones and Lindelof at the heart of the defence fills me with no confidence whatsoever and that coupled with our recent displays I will be surprised if we get anything out of this game.
     
    I have never been as pessimistic about this club and even I think we will still win this one....just about. If we don't then surely it's curtains for Ole?
     
    DDG
    Wan Lindelof Rojo Williams
    Matic
    Fred Gomes
    Greenwood Rashfird
    Martial

    3-1, job done. No more injuries please. (And if Rojo isn’t fit then I guess it’ll have to be Jones, unless his cramp tore his hammy the other night)
     
    I have a bad feeling about this game. Norwich went to high flying Leicester and took home a point and but for a silly VAR desicion they would have beaten Spurs instead of drawing with them.

    As ever with this group of United players, go 1-0 behind and at best it will be a draw for United.
     
    Pukki against Lindelof and Jones is going to be a slaughter.

    I think this'll end up being a Desmond Tutu.
     
    We gonna win, spirits will be raised by pre kick-off ceremony of Ashley Young stand reveal

    It's actual Phil Jones not Phil 'Next Baresi' Jones though. Norwich will score this weekend. It's just a question if we can outscore them. If we don't the vultures really will be circling.
     
    Norwich true to their manager’s ethos don’t go and play for a draw. They come to win but their defence isn’t that strong. It’ll be an open game

    Last season we won 5/6 games with Jones and Lindelöf in defense. Norwich is the worst side in the league so surely they should manage that.

    If you listen to people like yourself, Phil Jones would be turned over by park players.
    He's a decent midtable defender. He's certainly ok for Norwich at home!

    We've not kept clean sheets this season with Maguire against Norwich and co. We've had about 2/3 all season haven't we?
