Good to see Martial starting up front.
Shaw as CB is worrying though. How the feck we don't have more options there?EvraLooks like it might rain tonight
Just using information from Utd journos,however certainly wouldn't want to work for Utd right now.
Any premier league team would surely carve through that midfield like the Christmas turkey.That bench is brutal. Casemiro needs to deliver a MOTM performance.Are there any Argies back playing for their Clubs?I'm saddened by how little I'm looking forward to this match.
I need to fall in love with football again.
Im watching out of ritual right now and hate that that's the case.
Nevertheless, I do hope some an entertaining game at least. However, I'm not expecting much.
He clearly has some insight into the inner workings at United.I miss Licha. Luke Shaw as a CB is going to be interesting... Can't say that I would necessarily prefer to see Maguire playing there, though, whatever the reason for his weird benchwarming.
Speaking of the bench. Our bench looks so weak... Literal kids + the ones like Williams and DvB. Oh boy
We do have more options there. It's just that damn near all of them are unavailable.
Shaw is probably about 8th choice after Martinez, Varane, Lindelof, Maguire, Casemiro (if McT isn't out), McT himself, Dalot.
Don't think so,will give Lisandro benefit until that happens but any later
Please don’t use random journo info and pass it off as fact. Very misleading.Going to miss the first half stuck in traffic. Hopefully can get in the ground for the second half. 7 and a half hours up, 45 minutes football then 7 hours back. Fantastic.
Man, that's crazy.
ps. Maguire seems to be on the bench. Crazy how low on the pecking order he has fallen.Personally would try Casemiro and Varane at CB, AWB and Shaw on the fullbacks beside them, and Malacia in the midfield. Malacia often moves up into midfield positions when he plays, so it shouldn't be a huge stretch. But I trust ETH knows best about what they're capable of in each position, so we'll wait and see!
I think they were given 10/12 days off.
Yeah, he's recovering from illness or something, so not fit to start. Don't think he's fallen quite that low.
He’s ill and has only trained once since coming back from the World Cup.
ETH stated he was ill, but got better, but not fit to start.
EDIT: Three replies at once
Haha
Jesus man, snap out of it.
It seems like he wasn’t allowed to but went a bit overboard, ten Hag had even openly commented on it (something like “I understand that he’s celebrating but he needs to understand that PL starts again on the 27th”).
You mean midfield 2?
Significant in showing that we have been playing without a target man or when we did it's been one that's lost his burst of speed, agility and essentially scoring touch. Against a Forest team set up to defend crosses that might work to our favor, or at least one can hope.
Hoping the game helps with that.What's up with Owen Hargreaves? Did he get Botox to half his forehead only? Maybe he is a bit under the weather.ETH stated he was ill, but got better, but not fit to start.
EDIT: Three replies at once Haha
Good. Makes sense if he is not 100% fit.
Will be interesting to see Shaw at CB.All the top table won besides Spurs. Let's not feck this up, against Forest in Old Trafford we should be winning this one easily.
To play one of the best DCM in the world out of position is not a good idea at all, especially when even McTominay is not available. Whom should we have played in the middle then? Eriksen and Fred is not a good combo, Eriksen and Iqbal pairing then?
When is that ever the case?
I agree I’m just saying. That was the other option.
It also shows how little he rates Fred.Lingard coming out last for maximum return narrative hahahaI'm always concerned about these games we should win incredibly easily as I can remember so many games where there was talk of increasing our goal difference by a lot only to lose 1-0 or draw 0-0.
I still think we'll win but no doubt we'll make it difficult hahaNice to see Varane. Martinez needs to hurry back tooIt's quite sensible to hold out players who aren't fully fit. For far too long we pushed players who weren't good to go.
If you're actually saddened by the prospect of watching us play a league game for the first time in a month - when there's so much to play for and so many (potentially) exciting players on the pitch - you probably should be taking a prolonged break.- Status
