    My guess would be :
    Ddg
    Awb, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw
    Matic, Fred
    Greenwood, Bruno, James
    Martial
    Bench: Romero, Williams, Bailly, McTominay, Gomes, Mata, Ighalo.

    Almost got it right, only Chong for Gomes on the bench.
     
    I'm liking the look of that lineup. Certainly a bit more attacking than we've recently had. Think it will be needed to break Watford down in this game. Very nice to see McTominay back on the bench too.
     
    No Lingard or Pereira is a blessing.
    I might’ve picked Bailly over Lindelof but I’m happy with the lineup overall.
    We really need to win.
     
    Surprised Ole has reverted to the 4231, but it's all good.

    Reckon we'll lineup something like this:

    DDB

    AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw

    Matic Fred

    Bruno

    Greenwood Martial James
    I think James could use a spell on the bench as he looks completely burned out to me. I can't recall the last time he contributed an assist or goal to the cause.

    Happy to see Greenwood starting and Mctom on the bench though.
     
    James... ffs why? Hes been as poor as the likes of lingard and pereira over the past few months, he's basically the new lingard for Solskjear where it takes forever for him to wise up to the fact that he is playing continuously poorly.

    Why is it that both lingard and James get let off for long spells of poor performances but gomes who has the likes of inter and Barca keeping tabs on him doesnt even get a look in at United under Ole despite being no worse in terms of physical weakness compared to James and lingard.
     
    Missed opportunity to sell it to Amazon, the PL needs to modernise its distribution.
    I have all matches with Viaplay but sometimes they are not sent live. Like today. Will need to stay away from internet and friends for some hours to not spoil the match :)
     
    I wondered why I liked the lineup more than usual then realised it's because none of Lingard, Pereira, Mata are in it.

    Would rather have had Ighalo up front and Martial on the left, but can't have everything.
     
    He's been shying away from the decision (of dropping Pereira and Lingard) for several months.
    The 2 of them are consistently the worst players in our team and he kept playing them.
    For Lingard, he even made an excuse for playing him - he is having family problems, so it's okay to play him while he is the worst player in the team.
    So, let's not make out that he is ruthless....he has his favourites and Lingard is definitely one of his favourites.

    Lingard and Pereira were playing only a few days ago, so I don't believe for one second he has learnt his lesson on these 2. I believe they are being rested for an upcoming game.
    Pereira and Mata dropped, Greenwood starts. You lose.
     
    Lingard and Andreas not even making the bench is strong management from Ole.

    Best thing about today. Nothing personal but you can't have them rewarded with game time after their "performances".

    Yeah agree that I would have liked Ighalo up top and Martial left.

    I’m hoping Martial at least gets in the right positions and has decent movement for Bruno.
     
    Lindelof vs Deeney
    Like a Mouse vs a Bull.
    That was my only real worry about Watford. Deeney bullying a CH and bringing other players into the game.

    After his last performance (and with his physicality), I thought Bailly would keep his place but maybe Ole wants to ease him back in.

    Seen Lindelof be physical at times though so hope he brings it today and if that fails, Maguire can always kick Deeney in the bollox

    2-0/2-1 us
     
    Cmon United , give us a good game and result today. We have put up with mediocrity for far too long. Not too many games left and everytime we have an opportunity to get closer to 4 th place we totally bottle it . Hope today is not the day we bottle it!
     
    I think ole will stick Matic onto Troy.
    I think Maguire and lindelof will double team him. Matic against deeney will be a disaster imo. As matic isn’t very strong imo. He looks big but isn’t very good physically.
     
    Yeah agree that I would have liked Ighalo up top and Martial left.

    I’m hoping Martial at least gets in the right positions and has decent movement for Bruno.

    Too early. He has a total of 25 mins so far. Why risk some muscle injuries this early. Need to ease him in.
