Sickening gut feeling
I wouldn't worry too much, Ole will rest several first team in preparation for the Burnley game.
They're a Championship side after all.Last edited:
Still praying Ole wakes up and smells the coffee when it comes to playing Bailly against Burnley but stats say it will be Rosie & Jim at CB on Tues
Do we really have the first XI? We likely have the first 8 or 9, while 2 or 3 spots are questionableCant see Watford giving a feck about this match either, since they’re in the running for promotion.
Bloody hell, I know we were bad yesterday, but that’s taking it too far!Will be very intersting to see Ole "I give youth a chance" Solskjaer's lineup here. My prediction? He won't give someone like Mengi, Laird, or Pellistri a chance here. Probably will play TFM instead of Laird.
So you don't class Bailly as first 11?
I would pick pretty much that team, but I'm certain that McGuire will play, probably to stop Deeney's prowess in the air (although he's been dire this season from what I've seen).
Think Tuanzebe will play, but would Mengi get a chance? Or even TFM at CB. If Ole wants to keep him, then give him the opportunity, we'll never know unless some of these youngsters are given a chance.I’d put money on Bruno will start ....Ole can’t help himselfPlay the kids, feck the FA Cup.
City will beat the finalists anyway.
Wouldn't be surprised in the slightestCompletely forgot about Ighalo in my team selection
Would be a great send off if he could get a final club for us against his old clubI am ok with losing this, the more we concede the betterHenderson
Williams Tuanzebe Maguire Telles
James McT Matic Greenwood
VdB
Martial
Hopefully Pellistri and maybe even Diallo would get a few minutes off the bench. Even an outside chance of seeing Hugill maybe if things are going really well?I want Bruno, Rashford, Maguire, and Fred rested. Don't even put them on the bench. Everyone else can play - we've been rotating plenty there. Martial can lead the line - hopefully he can get some goals.Surely Ighalo deserves a run out against his old side. Even as a farewell present?
I don't think we gain anything from it, makes more sense to see what Greenwood can do as a #9.Rest everyone including Maguire & Bruno. In fact, I’ll rest Bailly too and keep playing Lindelof. Have day off. Let’s test our squad players whether they are even good against championship.Play the children
Yes. We are Watford, it's inside of all of us.
They have a new manager - rest assured they want to impress himHenderson
Williams - Tuanzebe - Bailey - Telles
Matic - Mctominay
Mata -Van Der Beek - James
Greenwood
Substitution:
Pellestri, Shoretire, fosu Mensah, igahlo, lingard
Hopefully, get to see some academy prospects and give gamete to other squad players since we have such a deep squad
This is what I want. With Martial, Pellestri and one other as subs on.
They won't.Facundo has tested positive if you hadn't seen on the performances thread, feel proper gutted for the poor kid but nothing you can do about it
That's a shame, was in line to feature in this game.
Yeah a bad break for him--------------------Henderson
Williams--Lindelof--Axel--Telles
--------------McT-------Matic
--------Mata-------------------VDB
---------Greenwood--James----
4-2-2-2 - split strikers, VDB and Mata floating beyond, plenty of squad rotation, good enough to good through...hopefully.
Did they replace the manager mid-season while chasing a promotion spot?I would play martial in this one so he may be able to get his goal scoring going again, confidence is everything.
Yes - because they have been awful. The results werent great and their football was horrible to watch.
Their last results were:
Huddersfield (a) 0-2
Brentford (h) 1-1 - Brentford played 30 minutes with 10 men and equalized despite being one man down
Birmingham (a) 1-0 - the winner coming on penalty in the 85th minute
Rotherham (h) 2-0
Cardiff (h) 0-1
Bristol C (a) 0-0
QPR (a) 1-1
So they picked up 9 points from the last 7 games, scored 5 goals. Add to that they average less than 3 shots on target with strikers like Gray, Sarr and Deeney. I am not saying it will get better with a new manager, but the old manager had to go - he would never get them promoted.Play the infantsReally gutted about Pellistri. Figured he’d start this.
Unlikely but would love to see Diallo off the bench.
Ole's first real test!Henderson
Williams Tuanzebe Maguire Telles
Matic VDB McT
Mata Greenwood James
Bruno, Rashford, AWB, Shaw, Fred could all use the restHe won't but I wish he'd completely rest every player in the first eleven.
No Bruno on the bench for when we inevitably underperform without him.
Take the loss and move on from the most devalued and pointless trophy available to us.
Even if Ole just goes 50/50 with the changes it's vital that Bruno and Rashford are rested, Bruno in particular has looked weary in the last couple of games.- Status
