Sorry for being out of the loop, but is Pogba back and fit to play? If so, is he likely to start?
He is fit, but probably not likely to start as he hasn’t played any football since before Christmas.Sorry for being out of the loop, but is Pogba back and fit to play? If so, is he likely to start?
Yeah but imo this should apply to all the players. None of them has played for 3 months. Fred is not the Fred 3 months ago, Matic is not the Matic 3 months ago etc. The pre Covid form is pretty irrelevant now I think.He is fit, but probably not likely to start as he hasn’t played any football since before Christmas.

So imo it's down to what they show in the recent training sessions. Who give the best will be picked. The only guys who watch them training are Ole and the coaches.

I fear Spurs might be ahead in their preparations because they've been flouting the rules.Jose has been trying to get the spurs lads back training since about a week into the lockdown so they may have worked on park the bus tactics for the last few months....
I expect Bruno and Pogba to start - a sign from Ole to say I want you both playing, but if it's not working, one of you will be taken off.
Question is who plays with them. I want to say Fred, but got a feeling McTomminay will get picked (fine with either)
FFS I honestly thought the game was tonight, and planned my whole day around it - but its tomorrow!
I hope Ole shows the boys the entire Arsenal performance from yesterday and tells them anyone showing that lack of professionalism, commitment or work ethic will not play again for the rest of the season.
We must at all costs start the game at a high tempo. A bit rusty/messy is probably inevitable, but we need to play aggressive football at a high intensity early on. That's always the way to beat a Mourinho team.

Bet all that cheese has gone moldy in three months...Spare a thought for Levy and his cheese bowl in these spectator-less times
@Niall Seems like we only pick three subs still in the lineup predictions. Is this going to be updated?
An Illusion. While we did win 4-0 we could just as easily have lost that game.We came flying out of the traps at the beginning of the season. Banged 4 past Chelsea.
Hoping for a similar story after this restart. Ole demands a lot of running from his players, so this might play into our hands. Fingers crossed.
I reckon it'll be the same 4-2-3-1 that Ole usually likes when everyone is fit. But with Bruno at #10 instead of Lingard/Pereira.
Martial
Rashford---Bruno---James
Pogba--McTominay
Shaw--Maguire--Lindelof--AWB

All their charges are dire!Did the FA ever make a decision on the Dire charge?
Hope notIs Dier banned for this yet?
Trying, but just can’t quite muster any sympathy at allSpare a thought for Levy and his cheese bowl in these spectator-less times
I understand why people are nervous, Christ knows I am too but I honestly think if you remove the nerves we are likely to win this comfortably. Mourinho is a terrible manager and they just aren’t the same team they were whilst we are massively on the up. I’m predicting 3-1 Utd.
And Pep and Poch lost to Ole...Ole has been beaten by far worse managers.
