Paris St Germain 1:2 Manchester United

ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg · Oct 19, 2020

Tough choice in defence.

would be inclined to play Lindelof, Shaw and McT as a back 3/ back 4 with McT moving forward when necessary.

it’s going to be makeshift, whatever way you look at it - and against the most expensive attack in the history of the game!

could be a car crash. Best case it’s backs against wall and we Nick a win.

this is a game where we need 3 or 4 players to really step up and play out of their skin.

SATA · Oct 19, 2020

Where’s Mata? Saved and rested to play against Chelsea?

When did we sign Dave? Did they find him in the local pub?

Sir Alex signed him some 9 years ago, surprised you've missed him as he's played over 400 games for us.

Dont need much in the way of height against psg, just speed merchants to deal with their attackers. Need telles to wipe Neymar out in the first 15 mins to give us a chance.

Well he will know him from the Brazil national team

Samid · Oct 19, 2020

Henderson
TFM - Mengi - Tuanzebe
AWB - Beek - Pogba - Telles
Mata - Cavani - Martial

We need as many fresh legs as possible against Neymar, Mbappe.

TheGame · Oct 19, 2020

People leaving Pogba out of their lineups but no way is he not playing considering he didn't play on Saturday.

*Bruno made captain*

Incoming Resident RedCafe PR Stunt conspiracy theorists in 3...2....1.....

cptkeane1993 · Oct 19, 2020

With the latest injury / squad news, I'd have:

Henderson
Tuanzebe Lindelof Shaw
AWB McTominay Fred Telles
Fernandes VdB
Rashford

Martial, Pogba still need to earn their place in the team - they should get a chance later in the game, especially with 5 permitted substitutions.

I'd rather have 2 play-makers like on Saturday (Bruno / Mata) to:
- occupy the pockets and find space;
- press their (makeshift) central midfield to try and win the ball high up;
- relief the pressure on Bruno to create as they'll be doubling up on him; and
- get into and around the box in support of Rashford to get a goal

You are joking with right?
Mengi and Tuanzebe for their first starts this season, (mengi ever) against one of the best attacks in Europe with nothing but TFM for support at the back?
That's mental.

These champions league press conferences are painful to watch now.

DDG
AWB Tuanzebe Lindelof Shaw
VDB Fred
Bruno
Martial Rashford

We'll see a back 5 though

Alemar · Oct 19, 2020

Can we please have Tuanzebe and Pellistri added to the list of options for selection? They are not in the list currently

That is a terrible lineup, inexperienced backline and no defensive midfielder. Plus Mata and Cavani haven't travelled. Surely a joke?

This is not your real pick is it , please say its not.
Oli has already confirmed that Canani will not play.
Mengi and Tuenzebe for there first games of the season, with TFM.
This is just asking for a hiding, one worse that Spurs gave us.
The rest is not bad, but would you really but Telles in for his debut against PSG.

DevilsOwn · Oct 19, 2020

Why isn't Mata in the squad?
Injured?

Then pull Mata, slide Cavani right, and stick Igahlo in the middle.

Probably managing his fitness. He just played the other day and is 32.

Telles in, back 5 it is

Odd. I know he's not the player he used to be, but 32 isn't that old and Mata proved last game that he can still be a difference maker for United.

Would be a strange one if that's the case. Given his current form and the 5-sub rule

Trex · Oct 19, 2020

I'll probably go with

Henderson
AWB Tuanzebe Lindelof Telles
Bruno Matic Fred
Vdb
Martial Rashford

But Ole would

De gea
Lindelof Tuanzebe shaw
Awb Pogba Matic Telles
Bruno
Martial Rashford

MyOnlySolskjaer · Oct 19, 2020

Ole confirms Bruno Fernandes will captain United tomorrow.

So who is supposed to be out for PSG then. I heard that Neymar is suspended ?

Juan Bernat and Thilo Kehrer ruled out. Marquinhos, Marco Verratti, Leandro Paredes, Mauro Icardi and Julian Draxler doubtful.

Neymar isn't suspended.

A-man · Oct 19, 2020

DDG
AWB— McT — Lindelof— Shaw — Williams
Fred—Pogba
Bruno

I know Sir Alex signed a talented young player called David, but missed this Dave bloke.

Yeah didn't realise there was an opportunity for 5 subs in the Champions League,not taking Mata suggests to me that Ole has no intention of making any more than 3 in this game

croadyman · Oct 19, 2020

roseguy64 said:

Surely he will put Pellistri on the bench if you are allowed more than 3 subs

roseguy64 · Oct 19, 2020

croadyman said:
Presume that Pellistri & Fosu Mensah will be the two not in the matchday squad. Mind you Ighalo has offered little since lockdown so maybe Ole should stick Facundo on bench despite them playing different positions

We can have 9 on the bench.

Samid · Oct 19, 2020

croadyman said:

12 players allowed on the bench.

A-man · Oct 19, 2020

red_de_pologne said:

My guess is as good as yours

But on a second thought you’re guess is probably better than min, I think Telles will probably play if they go for a back 5

croadyman · Oct 19, 2020

roseguy64 said:

Yeah didn't realise it was more than seven,seems strange that we have decided not to take Juan in that case

roseguy64 · Oct 19, 2020

Samid said:

12? Thought it was 9 with 5 subs. Means we'd have carried 3 less players than we could have. I count 20 having travelled.

SATA · Oct 19, 2020

How sweet it will be tomorrow when Telles delivers one of his trademark crosses for Rashford or Martial to nod it in

Mata flew to Paris with the team (pictured with De Gea on the plane) - probably rested.
