People complaining.. what would your XI be? Other than Williams starting.. or maybe shoehoring Amad from the start instead of Martial.. which was quite unlikely.

If we can't play to our strengths, sit back, defend a 4 goal lead, pick them off on the break without starting so many of our key players its ridiculously poor.Only surprises there are AWB and Greenwood. Mata and Greenwood weren't with the squad earlier so assumed the worst for both and so figured both Rashford and Bruno would start.
Thought Williams would get a start too, but no. AWB again.You just know we'll end up seeing Bruno get injured today. Seems as daft as Klopp playing Jota and Klopp vs the Midgets.Why is Bruno is starting?
Why have we got three goalkeepers on the bench?
Why aren't we giving Diallo a start?
What happened to VDB?Just wondering, if we chose to rest Bruno, who plays instead? And what formation?
People are quick to moan about it without offering any alternative.Ole is paranoid of dropping this one.
What a nail biter this will be.Last edited:
I sure as well won't. He run us into the ground in his first season in three months. He was going to do it last season (well, he actually be did, Rashford was out for the season) and now he'll do it all over again.
His game and general squad management is horrendous. He doesn't play youngsters and is even more cowardly than Mourinho.
People just want to live in delusion.
I'd understand if it was the CL semi-final and we didn't want to risk a 4-0 lead against Liverpool at Anfield, but we're in the EL against Real Sociedad at home.
Don't get this at all.How demoralising it must be for Williams and Tuanzebe. Sorry lads you're too shit to even risk it at 4-0 up
Ole has the fear
The problem is that players we would play here are injured. Obviously he doesn't want to risk the tie getting out of hand with youth players on the pitch. It makes sense.
It's 4-0. Throw anyone in there.
Chelsea at the weekend. Should be resting Bruno for it.It’s impressive how so many people in here have a better understanding of Bruno’s fitness than our management team. If he’s playing it’s because he’s fine to, I’d be more worried about the centre back pairing.
I’m happy in my delusion.Why the hell is Bruno starting ffs.
We have 3 goalies on the bench to make up the numbers.If Bruno gets injured tonight........I PUT 50.00 ON DIALLO SCORING TWO.
what the feck is happening.If Amad gets like 15 minutes I'll be fuming. Also Bruno should be rested, let's hope it doesn't backfire with an injury.
4 aways goals up and a team that strong...bizarre that Ole can't even trust Axel or Williams.
He was quoted last week as saying that he would field a strong team as it was important to keep the momentum going. Bruno etc are unlikely to play the full match though.
Why is anyone surprised at this?
Makes it even more baffling they were retained and not sold or loaned out. Solid 400 minutes of senior football the two average this season.How demoralising it must be for Williams and Tuanzebe. Sorry lads you're too shit to even risk it at 4-0 up
He might get two minutes in the second half.Gutless Manager who is scared to drop Bruno
Amad /Mata can start in place of Bruno
AWB and 3 Goal keepers on bench ?
He could have given Axel a chance
That was the only shock for me when I saw the team . But, fun part is that think that he is maybe.
Incoming meltdown from people on here. It's a knockout stage against a good team from Spain. Yeah we hammered them in one game. Things can always go bad quickly though.
I would've rotated out Wan Bissaka and Bruno from Williams and Mata though, but other than that no real complaints. We have enough squad players who need games. Sucks for Fred and Matic as everyone else is injured. Surprised at no Tuanzebe, doesn't bode well for him.Bruno and AWB need a fecking rest. Oles an idiot.Looking through this thread it's clear that some people will moan just for the sake of moaning
Get over yourselves the game hasn't even started yet
You answered your own question.
Yep, Can you imagine starting with all youngsters and losing two easy goals and then worse the match, it would destroy those youngsters. There’s a balance,m.Why the feck Bruno is starting?? Where is Mata?A few people said it already but why the feck is Bruno starting?
Also, three goalkeepers. You can never have enough, apparently.
That would have been fine.If Bruno gets injured in this game...WTF is Bruno playing for! Play the kids FFS
And some people are relentlessly negative.- Status
