    Had a feeling Ole would go with a diamond (if it is that or could be a 4231 with VdB or Pogba out wide) but was not expecting the personnel. Fair play to him. No Rashford, Bruno and McTominay but the team on paper still looks very good. Goes to show how far we've come, regards Ole shaping the squad. Just hope the players who have come in can impress.
     
    Looks like Pogba and deBeek will rotate. I guees Beek will start first from wing and change with Pogba during game. It will still not be diamond like some of you think. 4-2-3-1 with change of positions, not system.
     
    I like it.

    I reckon VDB and Martial will work well off each other.

    Maybe. Guess the reasons behind some people believing it could be a diamond is due to the fact Ole went with that against PSG. Not only that, but it allows us to field most of our midfielders without having to shoehorn them into the side.

    Whatever we go with tonight, I think it's good that we have that tactical flexibility.

    Well, a 4-2-2-2 is not really a diamond, but I think we’ll play a diamond

    Could be either, if it’s the shape against PSG it was 4222 but could also be a diamond with the line up. Either way better than the 4231 IMO
     
    I like this lineup a lot. Would have Tuanzebe playing though.
     
    Random as feck line up but I like Ole is actually using his squad
     
    No issues with the 4--4-2 diamond but Matic at the base and Maglof instead of Axel partnering one of them? That could be a disaster against the Leipzig press as the lack of speed and mobility will see them swarmed.
     
    I like it, but its going to be very narrow so might be problematic. Telles would've been a huge plus in this system, but probably is injured. Might also be a 4231 with VDB as a 10, Pogba left and Greenwood right. Either way, a win would be huge. Would make me think we're all but qualified and just need to beat Istanbul home and away to clinch in all but the unlikeliest of scenarios.
     
    Glad ole is trusting the players and rotating anyway, we have arsenal on the weekend so keeping Bruno and rashford sharp is important
     
    Like the team and like the fact ole is not over playing the likes of Bruno and rashford. Only complain is tuanzebe not starting.

    In the second half sure, but we started with a back 5. I think with Matic we can go to a diamond. Agreed re 4231
     
    Matic seems like a terrible idea in a game like this. His passing range is great but he's just so slow and always takes ages on the ball. By the time he wants to pass the ball two players will be on him already.
     
    Hmm,

    Worried with that lineup to be honest, Pogba and Matic being pressed is scary, also you have to feel for Axel after having such a solid game last week,

    Anyway, fingers crossed it goes well, cmon the lads !
     
    Hell, in God knows how long, that's a strong starting 11 and an even stronger bench with difference makers who can be brought on to change a game. Lets go!
