I've been supporting United for 36 years fella, but I've never been called a top red for asking people to support the team.
That's a new one that is.10/11. Thought Sanchez would be back for this but he's on the bench. Hopefully Matic brings some calmness and technique to defence now.
We put in much better displays with a 352 in pre season. Actually, we looked more fluid going forward, but looked pretty disjointed defensively.I thought the lineup vs Brighton was good and we were appalling.
I think that lineup looks shite so we'll probably win.Matic in a back three. Jose trying his best to get sacked
Mourinho on the number of changes
"We didn't play well [against Brighton]. We make mistakes, we change the team.
"If I don't play Valencia, Matic, Lingard when they're ready I don't think you'd accept it. I think you'd ask why I'm not playing important players when they're ready to play."
The United app shows it as a 4321 formation, MUTV shows 3 at the back with Matic slotting in.
Spurs seem to have a double pivot tonight with Dier and Dembele, which might be overkill. Let's see how Shaw fares against Moura.
I don’t think that we will see all that much of either Pereira or Martial this season.
The defensive nature of that selection tells you everything you need to know about the type of football we’ll be watching for the foreseeable future.
Yeah.
You're right.SSN breaking news Jose smiles at Geoff Shreeves.
No space, lots of defending. And moments from individuals. That's out last season in a nutshell.Replay of Newcastle United v Chelsea?I hope we see the Lingard we saw making a nuisance of himself between the lines vs Chelsea the other year. I'm excited to see what he'll do.
Everything else looks very unexciting to me. I hope I'm wrong but I can see a nasty slog ahead this evening.Are Spurs still playing 352? In that case we're probably matching it no?Now we have a defensive lineup vs Spurs at home ?
Jeez. What are we coming too?
Having said that hope we do our best. Go United.Reckon the team will be a positive surprise, think we will limit Tottenham quite easily and dominate them. Reckon we will win by 2 goals
It’s a forum of opinions. Calling people self entitled snowflakes because the lineup looks shite is nonsense.
You’re allowed to complain, otherwise we may as well have just kept Moyes and supported him.Matic in a back three. Jose trying his best to get sacked
Utterly insane if true. You can’t tell me that Matic will do a better job than Lindeloff or Bailly in a back three.JM being ruthless with players that don't preform, don't even make the bench.
Nope. Davinson Sanchez is on the bench.Think we'll struggle tonightThat's an odd line-up.8/11 guessed correctly Smalling Valencia and Matic would be back
Didn't have Herrera, Jones and Lingard.
Perreira, Mata, Martial and Bailly taking the rap and Young and Lindelof only making the bench.Good team for Spurs.
Toby and Verts as our CB partnership, Dier + Dembele in CM, Eriksen + Alli + Moura as the attacking 3 behind Kane.
Media: 'Moaning Mourinho smugly smiles at respected reporter Geoffrey Shreeves as Pogba does NOT dye hair'That team is fine. Not inspiring but it's fine.Andreas nowhere to be seen.
Either way it's pretty timid... I'm sure most people would have preferred to see rashford or Sanchez over Herrera or Fred.
No doubt if we win it will be brushed over but if we don't Jose is gonna get a lot of flackJust look at this team
And there are people expecting us to challenge for title with this team midfield diamond I suspect
Okay, I'll play. How would you change the line up to not be 'shite' then?
That stopped happening a long time ago. We are not going to win a match comfortably with our gameplan of sitting back regardless of the scoreline.
Sanchez for Herrera or Fred for a standard 4-3-3? We're playing 2 players who are defensive mids and 2 box to box mids, 1 #10 and 1 striker. Our fullbacks have mediocre delivery. It's just so fecking uninspiring. He's going to grind out a 0-0 or 1-0, at Old Trafford. He's a coward and doesn't know how to coach an attacking side, and that's why he's not fit to be Manchester United manager. Simple as.
after last week i'm certain he willWe will need some individual brilliance from Pogba or Lukaku to win this game.Why are people slagging the team off? Let's wait till we get going hey.The sad thing isn't the way we are lining up. The sad thing isn't even the fact that we all knew it would happen. The sad thing is actually that people, like myself, just don't care anymore about it because the way United play makes you feel numb, regardless of who plays.
Alexis was injured, probably not fit for the whole game, I guess putting on Rashford makes it more attacking and less of a coward of Mourinho eh?Jose threw a couple of curved balls with his team just 8/11 for me.
The team is fine , nothing special but fine.hoof ball to lukaku ?
What's he saying?- Status
