Real Sociedad 0:4 Manchester United

PlayerOne · Feb 18, 2021

I know I shouldn't moan, but I'm concerned about how many players are playing today and will play on Sunday. That midfield 3 will start Sunday too.

Hope we're up by 2 goals and Ole can make subs.

So odd Matic isn't starting

Judas · Feb 18, 2021

We could throw this game and still continue to look inconsistent in the league and finish 5th. I don't get the desire to give up on a cup.

Strong team. We will win by 2 clear goals.

I don’t know about that. We just don’t perform well against Spanish teams and I can honestly see this game today be frustrating.

mu4c_20le · Feb 18, 2021

Won't happen tonight but can't wait to hear the commentators go sholaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

2 keepers on bench? Its not an international friendly

Maybe it's in case DDG can't move away from the touchline.

Beachryan · Feb 18, 2021

It's Mason week

Ole does love some narrative doesn't he!

Hope he does well, tough match this.

Berbasbullet · Feb 18, 2021

VDB injured?

How can people want us to lose

Ya baffles me sometimes and these are same ones moaning that Ole has won no trophy

Berbasbullet · Feb 18, 2021

Would have liked VDB, but assume he’s injured? Otherwise a fair enough side to be honest.

Only reason I would place it above the FA Cup as it also offers a route straight into pot 1 of the Champions League draw, therefore you avoid the holders and various league winners too.

Jaysus, I didn’t know you automatically got entered into Pot 1. The idea we should mail this in is absolutely ridiculous then.

It’s a European trophy that gives you all the competitive benefits of winning the league.

It's mad that we can't find another outfield player instead of 2 keepers on the bench.

Do any youth players have to be registered?

Woodzy · Feb 18, 2021

Always get excited when our youngsters make the bench but then we never seem to do well enough in the game to be in a strong enough position to bring them on.

Idxomer · Feb 18, 2021

Ole keeps overplaying Bruno and Rashford because he's desperate for a trophy.

Borys · Feb 18, 2021

I see the keepers wanted to visit Spain.

Yup

Annihilate Now! · Feb 18, 2021

I assume two goalies on the bench is a consequence of this first team/second team bubbles thing?

Is it 3 subs or 5?

Muscle injury, like Cavani. If Mejbri (who I assume to be injured) was fit, he would be knocking on that door.

Classical Mechanic · Feb 18, 2021

Should have just put Shola on the bench instead of DDG?

Judas said:
Shocked how strong we are going for this with a game on Sunday. Is Matic really not fancied anymore?

They're actually a good side, they could easily beat us if we're not on it.

Having fresh legs is most likely to win game, yes?

They'll be sad to be in Italy then!

stu_1992 · Feb 18, 2021

It's a strong enough team. There were always going to be changes of course ut I guess our injuries forced out hand a little further. People like Henderson, Bailly and Telles would probably have played regardless. James is probably the one that wouldn't have started but hopefully he takes a chance to impress. I personally think he's looked better in his few cameos he's had in the last few months but it's a different ball game starting.

All 22 players who travelled are either starting or on the bench.

Sassy Colin · Feb 18, 2021

Oh, I forgot, lunchtime kickoff

Thought Shola travelled?

Yes and he's on the bench.

yamo123x · Feb 18, 2021

Not optimistic about tonight, these are a technical team who will run and run and we cant accept half arsed uncommited performances tonight or else we will get beat.

Sassy Colin · Feb 18, 2021

I hope we are not going to get beaten by a team of players no one has ever heard of, except that guy who used to play for us.

yamo123x · Feb 18, 2021

Good to see Martial on bench, fit or not, he didnt deserve a start after yet another gutless performance last time out

Classical Mechanic · Feb 18, 2021

Samid said:

Im looking at the CAF line up. Only 10 sub slots!

Oh that's probably because @Niall hasn't added Shola in the lineup game yet.

Nice to see Adnan

charlenefan · Feb 18, 2021

Ridiculously strong side, hate this competition

Ace · Feb 18, 2021

The Fred-fanclub already preparing their defense of his inevitable Fred-like performance today.
