Everton, January 2018. 2-0 thanks to Martial and Lingard.Could be yet an awful week for us. The way we are playing with zero confidence we will surely find it tough on Sunday. If they are good from set pieces and long balls we are in trouble.
Then it's City in midweek. That could be embarrassing for us. I reckon that could be 4 or 5 nil if City go for us which with the league title already gone I'm sure they will.
Never wanted end of a season as badly as right now. Glazer scum out. Woodward for Strangeways. Ole back to Molde.We'll win, but our football will be predictably boring - giving this scrappy 0-1 win a miss I think, unless I see the likes of Gomes, Garner and Levitt playing instead of Lingard and Mata.Difficult to care to be honest. Absolutely shite game this gonna be.

Tranmere 1 - 2 Man United
Greenwood & Mata.I have a feeling this will be a game that will pile more misery.Are there replays in 4th round? Trying to figure out trainsDespite how bad we are, they don't have any chance to do anything tomorrow. I doubt that they will have any shot on our goal

So it'll be 1-1
They'll score from a cornerThis could be the one.On paper i'd say we should win this one no problem, but looking at the state of their pitch and our squad I could easily see it being one of those games we struggle in.If this was a Championship side, I reckon we'd lose and Ole's job would be under enormous scrutiny at least. But we'll scrape a shithouse win here.This on the telly?It’s against fecking Tranmere. But considering how bad we’ve been, I’m honestly not confident. Probably a scrappy 1-0 win.
Think its on BT SportCS Serge is playing so that fills me with a bit more confidence with whoever CBs Ole decides to go with.
So first team then.Mensah is back, be need to see him, Garner and Gomes get minutes, Fred needs a rest, I would play Martial as he needs some goalsEven for Utd, it should be a walk in the park. Anything less than a 2 goal win margin against this lot... don’t bother coming back to OT.
So no then. Bloody BT
I am not for a moment suggesting things are not very bad right now. But this post is a bit silly. Are you saying we always comfortably beat lower league teams in cup competitions even when times were good?
Any win will be fine for SundayIf we were to lose this, that would pretty much sum things up. my guess is: Ole still wouldn't be sacked. We'll either be "ordinary" and scrape a 1-0 or be truly awful and lose 2-0Everyone loves an underdog and an upset in the FA Cup, and I think there could be another on Sunday. They're in lousy form and shot of confidence, but if they're bang up for it and can nick a scrappy goal against the run of play, then United could sneak a 1-0 win.
Same here. Even Fergies sides had the odd struggle with lower league teams. A reminder Rochdale are around the same level as Tranmere and United needed penalties in Old Trafford to overcome them.Scenes as Tranmere score a late winner and the camera pans to Mike Dean dabbing in the crowdTheir pitch is like a plowed field. It'll be an ugly game,Just bumped into my mate on the street who's from that area, big Tranmere fan. He's going to the game, reckons their pitch is the worst of all time.Should play as many reserves as possible for this to save legs. City on Weds which I think Ole will play strongest team then Wolves next week. Wolves have a week off before we play them next week. We have 2 games.Romero

--------GreenwoodShould start Romero and prehaps Bailly and the same midfield (granted our options are slim anyway) that wasn't all that bad against Burnley. Sub Martial and prehaps use him to impact the last 30 minutes so he can get his confidence back. A 4 5 1. We don't need a morality boost just a clean professional performance against a League 1 side.

Good thing we don’t rely on playing actual football. Pitch like that will suite this lot.Let’s show a bit of sense and rest the likes of Maguire, AWB, Fred, Martial and Matic.Potentially tricky one with their pitch being in such a state and also getting the balance right with our team selection whilst avoiding injuries. Still should have way more than enough to win....right?
My post was laced with sarcasm, which seems to have been missed.
Of course we’ve lost to lower clubs, all teams do. Usually caused by not giving the underdog enough respect/more important games to play etc. However, Tranmere are approx 60 places below Utd in a relegation battle. Utd are under pressure and will be desperate for the win... losing this one doesn’t bear thinking about.- Status
