What a weird sideMartial for Rashford and I'd have been happier.
Good line-up nonetheless, we should get the job done if we are clinical in front of goal.
Mata and Mkhi need to step up massively this season. Hope they each get a goal or assist.
Try telling that to a lot of people on here... so bizarre.
He most likely won't start whenever we use a 4231.Herrera dropped or injured?Interesting to see who plays where. Looks like a 4-2-3-1 but could be a 4-3-3 with Mikhi/Mata playing in the 3 midfield.
Surprised Jones plays over smalling who I thought was excellent against Madrid.Like that lineup. Excited to see Matic there to free up our attackers a bit more.Surprised with Jones and blind.Strong lineup, happy with that. Though Mata and Blind over Darmian was a bit of a surprise.Had a feeling it would be a 4231.
I don't. Would be surprised if this is how we roll normally. Still no free role for Pogba, which is possible in an actual 3 man midfield. We've got 4 very attacking players + Pogba. Against better sides that wouldn't be possible. We'll see if it works out against West Ham...No Fellaini or Lingard? It's an outrage.
Not surprised. He hasn't looked ready to be part of the squad from what I've seen of him.Skipper ValenciaThere's not a single lineup we could play that would get universal praise on here.
I'm pleased it's an attacking side.Wanted to see Martial start.Bailly-Jones been our best combo in preseason and are fit and fresh so we should be fine
Blind gives us that balance down the left. Am surprised with Jones, though. Had Lindelof and Bailly.Didn't expect Lindelof to start but didn't see him not making the bench.
Who would you drop to include him on the bench? Very difficult to fit him in.Based on the line-up, I hope we go with a 4132 or 442 diamond, though most likely it is a 4231 with Mhki/Mata and Rashford being our 'wingers'.Good team... which usually means we'll struggle.Hope our attackers step up this season. We need goals.Is Mata our weakest link ?
"skewed" 4-2-3-1 with
Right: Rashford more upfront, Blind more backward
Left: Mata more middle, Valencia more forward

That's about rightNo defensive bullshit with Fellaini and Lingard starting. Good.
Or try telling it to the best manager in the world.
Dropped I think. Poor against Real and Jose probably trusts a two man midfield against the weaker teams at homeNo major surprises in the team. Didn't think Jones would come in for Smalling.
I am a bit surprised you're disappointed with the team.Good attacking line up at home against teams who are looking to defend deep we should go with 4-2-3-1 instead of playing 4-3-3
This is an attacking lineup. Should hopefully be good.I like the combo of Mata and Mkhi - that's a lot of creativity right there. Odd to see Ander on bench.Attacking side, wanted to see Martial start but hopefully Rashford will do well.8/11
yey, great start.
Had Herrera, Smalling and Darmian.Lindelof being given the Mkhi treatment, I see.Herrera is one of my favourite players but we don't need two DM's against West Ham and Matic outplayed him and the rest of the team against Madrid so deserves to start.Caf is genuinely pathetic. We start with five attacking players and yet there's criticism. Jokers.
Yeah me too. Is Jones really a better option than Smalling? Nope. Ruined my FF team as well.
They have barely played together and Lindeløf has looked a little rough at times.Very good team. I've said before that Herrera shouldn't play in these home games where we'll dominate. We need as many goal threats as possible so very happy to see Mata starting.- Status
