Fred letting us down as always!!
He's recently come back from surgery and is clearly the better player out of him and Fred when fit.
Tbf the recent Fred isn't much better. He run a lot yes but his passing is simply horrible. I've lost count how many simple passes he's missed recently. Really really simple passes I'd say. Like Fred is back to the Fred in his first season here.
And Pogba. Hes up and down when playing in the middle. Hopefully with McTominay with him hel be alright.
You wxpected any different?McTominay starting Cmon Ole…
I didn’t say we did? He did nothing in the match either though did he? He didn’t win the ball or set anyone or anything up. He was just thereTed Lasso's selection:
Exactly, McTominay will just hide while Pogba is a liability defensively, they’ll cut us through with ease.
Pogba has to play in the middle. We have too many good attacking options to be playing him on the wing.
All our Midfielders are up and down in the middle. He is still the best of them as he can play football.
That's all I got from the final. The other Spanish sides we played last year were much the same.Pino is highly rated. Hopefully he has a quiet game
As was everyone mate.Yelled, Lindelof, Dalot, this should be a laugh, Varane must be absolutely trashed
6-5 to us.We need a good performance from the midfield two tonight.One round of shots for every time a Villareal player falls dramaticallyPogba replacing Fred = improvement
Lindelof replacing Maguire = ...improvement?
Cheers. Yeah that performance was pretty trash hope we don't get a repeat.Well, Pogba is going to be playing extremely deep tonight if this is anything similar to the EL final.Telles is awful, Dalot not much better, and Lindelof is in there as well. Villarreal to score at least twice.McTom was terrible at the weekend, rewarded with another start tonight. Poor management.
But that wasn't even the intended midfield pairing for the Final. Fred was injured and could not start, so Pogba was put into central midfield, something he was not doing much during the 2nd half of the season, especially when Marcus was injured/playing hurt.
For tonight, it makes sense because Pogba (should) give more control in midfield and McTominay should provide workrate and steel. Fred has not started the season well on the whole. Villareal are a sound defensive team and are comfortable defending first and countering or passing their way up the pitch.
Today we will be up against a low block. Lets see how he does.I have a good feeling about this one.
3-1 with Sancho on the scoresheet.
He really isn't. His stock has soared recently due to Fred's poor form and his own injury but Fred's better at pretty much everything except shooting and aerial duels.I see the Ole outers have turned on McTom because Fred is droppedDecent lineup, finally pace on both flanks. Let’s get the win.
Harry hasn't started the best this season so could well be.
The worst part is the huge miss is also starting. Can you believe this guy!!McTominay starting Cmon Ole…
Good teamGot quite a few wrong as with Maguire, Shaw and AWB out I thought Ole might go 3-5-2 as he could play Ronaldo and Cavani up top. Pogba in the double pivot is always risky.
You're not going to play Pogba and VDB in central midfield. You have to start at least one of McTominay, Fred, or Matic. Just continues to show that United's central midfield is severely lacking a good balance without a glaring weakness no matter the pairing.A bit strange that we have named two goalkeepers on the bench though
Those are the CL squad rules, you can have 11 on the bench, but 2 of them have to be keepers.
(5 subs can be made).I'll be surprised if a united defence containing Dalot, Lindelof, Telles keeps a clean sheet tonight. So United I feel need to score at least two goals in order to win.We have three centre mids. Geniuses are baffled when one of mctom or Fred start. It's like the average age has gone down to 8 on the forum latelyI though McFred was going to be our midfield to cover from Telles and Dalot defensive fragilities. Ole is going full attack on this one. I hope it works.Last edited:
Ville real prob won't attack thoughSancho is going to have a stormer today, I can feel it.Lighten up you moaning cnuts, save the moaning for after the match please.
It’s Champions league night let’s get behind the team. Come on United
That's the 11 I've picked, Telles, is the issue for me he has to be on it from the start. Mc Tom and Pogba , I've gone for that because we need a win here. A loss tonight and then it's a tough group to get anything out of .- Status
