    A team like that gives Chong and Greenwood a proper chance to shine.. They would have struggled if the others in the front 6 were just as inexperienced.

    3 kids... (Axel is a kid, right?) Not bad. '


    Hopefully we get a couple of goals and Williams and Garner can get 30 minutes.

    Our squad is still a bit bloated with reserves on big wages so we have to play them in the cups. From that side, only Wan-Bissaka (in due to Dalot's seemingly new injury) and Pogba (returning to fitness) are from our first XI.

    That prediction went as badly as it could (though was right about no Dalot or Gomes). I won't be in the top 10 after tonight.

    Ditto. 9/11 and no subs on the bench.
     
    Fred had to start.. Pogba and Lingard need minutes before Arsenal.. Andreas is a surprise.. could have had Gomes instead.. But if Gomes isn't in the squad, he is probably not fit.

    Could have been Garner instead with Lingard on the right.. But Garner will come on as a sub. Who else?
    Pretty much expected.
     
    Really happy with the team, should be an opportunity for Chong and Greenwood to really show us what they can do.
     
    Call me hysterical but Ole didn’t sound too convincing when he said Gomes and Dalot were injured.

    Only 200 plus. Just saw you moaning about watching it on the tele. I’m in London tomorrow night, I’d have made the trip had it been possible. Just my luck 2 weeks in the uk and it’s the day before I arrive, Europa away and sold out la arse match as my options.

    Tuanzebe captain is weird and I dont like it... Let it happen naturally, no need to force players in these roles when he's played like 5 games for the first team. A bit crazy.

    Like the lineup though, apart from the usual Pereira at right wing which never really works. Though its Rochdale so it'll be fine. Hopefully if we get free kicks, its Greenwood and Pereira standing over them and nobody else.

    It's his hometown team and he's captained us at every level except first team. I personally don't see the harm.

    8 here, really should have gone for Pogba in the starting XI but Ole's comments had me doubting myself as to whether he'd start. Suppose I could get one more point if Garner comes off the bench - hope we do well so he gets a few minutes.
     
    Tuanzebe being captain ahead of all those senior players on the pitch doesn't sit well with me. What is that even supposed to be/mean and do?
     
    Axel as Captain is interesting, especially with Pogba starting, I don't know how Chong gets a start and Gomes isn't even on the bench.

    Hometown or something, seems strange to me aswell. Oh well the band is pretty pointless at our club last few years anyway.

    That's fine, but still a bit weird to give a youth player who has a handful of first team appearances the captaincy, regardless of the opponent. It's the first team, not any youth level. Just seems like forcing the issue instead of letting it happen naturally.

    I mean Williams is there and why does Andreas needs to play this game ahead of Garner when two other senior Mid are starting. And why is Gomes(considering he isn't injured or ill) not even on squad and Chong is starting after last game? He definitely prefers graft and energy ahead of technique and flair which we can see in his team selection and also the way we play on the pitch.
     
    What's the story with Gomes, is he being saved for the Arsenal game or did his leg fall off in a bizarre potato peeling accident?

    Do we know that for sure? If he was fit, I don't buy that he wouldn't be in the squad just because the others have 'graft' and 'energy'. He's got more energy than Mata.
     
    Exciting team and inspiring captaincy choice. Choice of captain can send a real message and this one does.
