Or a team of players he just likes!This is the sort of team Jose would have picked in his third season.
Back 6. Make it difficult for them. Don't even care if we score. feck you Ed. Sack me.
Might aswell be in the Maguire thread; no ones ever at fault in this team if their face suits.
Doing your job as a holding midfielder & be fantastic at it aren’t the same thing. We were walked through as a midfield with them in it on multiple occasions last season; that’s not a no.10s fault.
In a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1?Pogba's clearly not done the job as a defensive midfielder then has he?
Looks like Greenwood is injured. What would you do instead?Just seen the team. I weep for my club.
Bruno and Mata do link well.As underwhelming as that team sheet is based on people wanting to feel enthused by fresh names etc... Mata has looked one of our only players in any kind of form lately and always links up nicely with Fernandes. That midfield has a hell of a lot more balance to that what we've been trying lately as well.
I'm cautiously optimistic that side might be able to play a bit of football.
Well the line up last time really did respond well didn't they?You lose 6-1 to Spurs and this is the lineup you respond with.
Ok with Fred and McTominay in midfield. Assuming Martial and Greenwood are injured (sorry haven't been keeping up with injury news) which is why we're seeing Mata and James, not exactly delighted with that.
Wouldn't be delighted to see him either, but where's Lingard? No wide options on the bench and I'd have thought he might be a sub here if Greenwood and Martial are out.
Friday am. Will be badly jet laggedWhen did Telles get back from South America? He played a but in Brazil's game on Wednesday.
He'll play midweek. He played all the Netherlands gamesWhat does VdB got to do to get into this team?
No plan? He just said that he picked Fred and McT to protect back four. Plan is to sit deep. We are scared now of bloody Newcastle.
Imagine hating one of the few players who has shown any semblance of form lately...Fecking Mata, absolutely hate seeing his name in the starting line up.
Questioning the lineup doesn't make one a hater , especially when people are paying 15 quid to watch the match.So many haters in here that it is unreal. Take it easy.
I would have loved Matic (Mctominay) and van der Beek (James) but I am still behind this team. Mata playing is beautifle to see.
Martial has a ban got sent off last game.
Why mention Bruno then?
ah, forgot that. Thank youMartial is banned.
VDB and Pogba coming off the bench will be a positive.
Trying to find them here.
This. Can’t stand it when people say things like that. When things are wrong, criticise them.Questioning the lineup doesn't make one a hater , especially when people are paying 15 quid to watch the match.
We all want 3 points tonight, just harder to picture that with the set up but crazier things have happened with unpopular lineups so we'll see.
Don't see how different opinions amount to hating on Ole or the team
Think he means James hasn't been good enough for awhile, Mata shouldn't be anywhere near our first 11.Looks like Greenwood is injured. What would you do instead?
Hope you are right. We need a lift in spirits.So happy, everybody hates the line up, 1-5 this one.
So happy.
Happy New Year.

The only fire it’ll light is on his pogmoji shit.Pogba being benched may light a fire up his arse if he comes on to prove he has to do something to earn a start
How do you know its wrong? Whats your CV?This. Can’t stand it when people say things like that. When things are wrong, criticise them.
Probably because some reactions are over the top, as though they seem to personally hate a few players or the manager who would select them.This. Can’t stand it when people say things like that. When things are wrong, criticise them.
