    Can someone please explain to me how Maguire keeps getting the captain's armband?

    Why not Fernandes or Casemiro?
    I'm not feeling optimistic about our chances, today.

    1-1

    Because Maguire is the official captain and it isnt worth the hassle or making poor Harry sad by taking the armband from him. It doesnt really matter that much who is wearing the armbad anyway. Bruno will whine to the ref without the band and Harry wont be a good captain with the piece of fabric around his arm.

    Fernandes can't be captain. He's always on the ground, complaining and whining to the referee. Casemiro doesn't speak English, so how can he be the captain?

    He didn't... The question was whether Martial could play 90 minutes.

    He said he would manage his minutes/not risk seeing if he could, given the lack of forward options.

    "Maybe he can, but it's a risk and we can't take that risk in this moment because we don't have so many options in the frontline with [Marcus] Rashford and [Alejandro] Garnacho injured, so we have to be careful.

    "Also, in the individual prospect, we know when there's a lot of load he gets injured and we have to build it, especially when the games come quick."

    That sounded a lot like he won't start. Maybe ETH didn't express himself well enough or just changed his mind.
     
    Linda and *******.

    Blood pressure tablets - double dose.

    All set.

    Not so much doom and gloom, people are nervous!
    Our away form is poor and we are missing some key players. We are still of course favourites to win but it could be close!

    Enjoy it mate!

    The positives left this season far outweigh any negatives, we could win 3 cups in EtH’s first season & neither of Newcastle or Spurs are up to much. Win today & next weekend, let them duel it out while we play in the FA Cup.

    We are missing players, no excuse for the team out there today.
     
    Would be nice to have a decent lead and be able to put Zidane on the pitch. Looked like a Frenkie type of player in pre season

    Yes, it was his fault we conceded 2 goals after he’d gone off.

    The constant requirement to have a player to witch-hunt is ridiculous, he’s going nowhere.

    It was largely his fault we didnt score more than 2. Number of attacks he ruined.

    He's going nowhere but neither is his career. He's not getting near the pitch here with everyone fit.

    Something is not right with him on trainings i guess. He looked amazing in pre-season. Just what we need in midfield. But never got a chance this season.

    This is a situation that needs to be dealt with in the transfer market, this summer. It's crazy that Utd are so short on options for leaders. With the money this club has, it's unacceptable.
     
    Sabitzer off, we're fecked already.

    Half our goalscoring power gone.
     
    Defence doesn't trouble me much. I am worried about midfield with two AMs. Casemiro will be key, all depends if he has a good game.
     
    Not much to call on from the bench. Martial really needs to show up today and we can't afford one of those games where we miss three or four good chances

    ETH should have subbed him off earlier! Why risk it?!?!

    Also : career ending, season is over!

    Am i doing the over the top drama thing right?

    Should have subbed him off at the hotel buffet last night.

    Martial started against Sevilla and played for 62 minutes. That his limit right now, which is better than nothing and depending on Weghorst for more than 35 minutes.
     
    Ffs Sabitzer injured now... Good thing Eriksen back, Fred on bench still too I'm comfortable with.
