I had tonsillitis a couple of times, and I was wiped out for 3 weeks, and I wasn't trying to play football at professional level.
So a few days is a marvellous recovery time I'd say. He's either had it exceptionally mildly, or it wasn't tonsillitis I'd say.

Pretty sure I had tonsillitis on Saturday (maybe Friday too, but I was migraining out and didn't really care about that). Was pretty well fine by Sunday and right a s rain on Monday.

Hope I'm wrong but I think it's an awful team selection. I know there is positive buzz about Tuanzebe being captain, Pogba returning, Greenwood starting etc but the actual team is very bad.
Firstly the attack is awful, no change there. Doesn't matter whether it's Lingard right, Pereira no.10 or vice versa. Both variations are as crap as each other.
What makes it worse is that defensively it's very weak too because we are playing Pogba deep and with Fred. This is worse than Pogba playing deep with McTominay because McTominay is better defensively than Fred. Who's defending when we lose the ball. We always lose the ball, so who's defending when we lose the ball?

Out of interest what team would you start or would like to start?

Pretty sure he was referring to cardio and stamina. If we are training intensely, then you need to expect injuries.

The irony being our complete lack of intensity in matches so far this season. Something has gone drastically wrong somewhere hasn't it?

Alemar · Sep 25, 2019

Hopefully Greenwood will score 3-4 goals today, otherwise Ole will not start him against Arsenal

Ole seems to be feeling the pressure....

Tom Cato · Sep 25, 2019

Dalot is on the injured list, not sure about Gomes. Gomes might however be slotted to bench against Arsenal, and Ole chooses to give valuable first team experience to Garner and Williams.

Pogba obviously needs the gametime. Not sure why Mata is on the bench though, probably for the veteran influence. LOVE Oles choice of captain for this game.

At least they only have a knock rather than anything serious, Alkmaar is just a week away.

Martial picked up a knock and he's been unavailable for going on five weeks.

Aye, pairing Fred and Pogba up is asking for trouble imo.

We looked exhausted against the Hammers alright.

No problem with the back 4 at all. I would play Pogba as no.10. Why do you want to know what team I would choose? I would never play Pereira wide. I would never have Lingard as my no.10.

DM me the location of a lovely river for swimming anyone?

Because you say the team selection is awful. Its natural to ask who you would pick against Roachdale instead.

A river would be appreciated.

Looking forward to Pogba playing! It's felt like ages!

pauldyson1uk · Sep 25, 2019

Rochdale , starting with a 16 year old and a 15 year old on the bench, what en experience for them.

We've looked exhausted since Crystal Palace truth be told. Back to the stagnant deep counter-attacking setup we all hate ever since. Ole is afraid of making mistakes it seems, I believe he's a dead man walking until that changes and he gets a grip.

McGrathsipan · Sep 25, 2019

Will Ole be sacked when we lose ?

Looking forward to seeing how many chances he creates for Greenwood.

I read river and for some reason I assumed that the next sentence was "So I can have something to cry in when we lose".

Garner needs some minutes today

In fact he should have started the game

Yeah fair enough. Severity matters. His must have have been on the milder end of the spectrum. I hope he's recovered enough to put in a good showing tonight. Come on United!

That's why I've asked for one my good sir.

For what other purpose would a River serve?
