    It's mystifying, really. Just prejudice about what a player should be.

    It's not mystifying at all. It's the Caf, matchday. It's like a village where there is only one pub. The beer is decent. The guvnor's alright. Some great wits in the house. But about half the crowd who go there (at certain times of the day) are loud-mouth, attention seeking, pillocks. Secret maybe choosing the quietest corner to hang out in.
     
    Did Mou just say that he wishes to talk to Sparky Hughes about some weakness they've identified because Sparky is a Chelsea/United ex player? :lol: Cheeky git haha
     
    This will be tight and not very entertaining I think. Lets see how we deal with that.
     
    Bit of a blow not having Fellaini to come off the bench. Hope we can get the customary 2-0 win and see them off.
     
    Stupid international games, we need him.on the bench, especially if they bring Crouch and go long.
     
    Hughes thinks we have positions where we are 'loose.' I wish he'd discuss his own team instead of talking about our deficiencies p
     
    Why is Lindelofs jersey in the locker room, and him in trainers with the rest of the team if he's not on the bench?
     
    Juan, Martial and Jess' to be the game changes today if we need them.. how will Jose manage without the big fella to call on

    Not saying 4-3-3 is a bad formation but if the result remains a draw we need to push with more attacking players rather than having another midfielder.

    The problem is our 433 is more attacking with a full throttle attack which has better penetration Against parked busses . Adding another attacker with mid 2 does not mean better penetration in a parked bus until the opposition is also out to attack.

    Stoke will play 532- 352 today, so you don't wanna give them a man advantage in the middle to counter and keep the control as it's an away game.

    TBH Martial keeps cutting inside crowding the space for Lukaku, while Rashford stretches the defense and makes space for Lukaku. On top of that I find that Rashford makes better and more intelligent runs behind the defenders compared to Martial. But Martial is a much better finisher no doubt.

    He is not dropped, per se.
    We are relying on him to be an impact sub and scoring for us.
    We all saw what happened when Martial started the last game: he failed to score.
    I for one love it when Martial comes on, on 70 minutes and terrorises the opponent's RB (after Rashford has worn him out, before).

    Again I'm not against starting the match with 4-3-3. I'm saying if the match started to drag out to the draw result we should push forward with an additional attacker.
     
    Dear lord, will the Martial United supporters give it a rest for one match day thread please!

    Shame Blind is out, otherwise I'd have gotten the team 100% correct.
     
    Lukaku and Rashford interview prematch.

    Both of them seem to think that Lukaku is quicker. Surely it's Rashford?

    Jose is usually conservative at the start

    It kind of feels weird not having Fellaini available.
    He is such a unique player to have.

    Yes Hughes claims we have some positional weakness which they're going to exploit

    For example I despise Diego Costa, so if he came to Man United I am supposed to like him from that moment just because he carries the red shirt even though he is despicable human being? Bollocks.

    I'm sure if he came here and did the business you'd soon grow to like him.

    I despised Fellaini before he came here. Not been a world beater by any means since joining, but he works his arse off for the club I support, which is why I like him.
