    I imagine it’s a lack of midfield options forcing Ole to utilise more defenders. Back 3, Dalot is a wing back and Shaw can do the job, I’d imagine they’ll spend most of the game high up the pitch
     
    Back 5 :lol: Showing Massive respect to the Mighty Merseyside.....Tranmere :lol:

    Andreas and Lingard starting :boring:
     
    A scrappy 1-0 at best. A back 5 selection is laughable.
     
    5 at the back. Even against league one team Gomes and Chong on the bench.
    Long term plan
     
    FFS!

    Why on earth he is risking Maguire & Martial on that pitch, I will never know?

    If we pick up any further injuries then Ole has got no one else to blame other than himself.
     
    10/11

    I had given Maguire a much needed rest. Hopefully they all come through unscathed.
     
    5 at the back? No.. its 3 at the back. Shaw and dalot will be told to play higher to get more possession in the opposition's half. Yes they will drop back and defend when needed.
     
    I think we will win but it's more worrying we have to risk playersagainst bleeding tranmere in the FA cup that will affect the Pl run
     
    I honestly don’t think it will be a five back, I reckon it’s Jones in midfield, which in some ways is worse. :lol:

    Eh? Dalot is.
    Click to expand...

    Has he assisted more than one goal for us? Has he ever scored?

    He is good on the ball and has a reputation for being attacking but he generally plays like a standard right back. Might be our system more than him but I'm judging from what I've seen from most of his Utd performances.
     
    I'm seeing a back 4 and 1/2 really.

    Dalot getting forward as much as he can. Shaw deeper.

    Lopsided, if you like.
     
    What a crap and uninspiring line up this is. Ole is desperate for lingard to have a good game. Jones and Matic playing against tranmere ffs. Stupid line up.
     
    What the feck. Safe to say Gomes is gone for sure at this point. Strange not to use Mata, hes the only one who excels in games like this and the one we actually need.
     
    We are using this as an opportunity to try implementing things we have been practicing in training.
     
    Disappointed we aren't going to see the likes of Laird, Gomes or Garner feature at all today.

    Bit concerned we never seem to rest Maguire, there doesn't seem to be any need to play him today.
     
    Isn’t Maguire carrying an injury? Why isn’t he being rested. Also no Gomes or even some youth on the bench.
     
    I can see this getting a bit messy and not just because of the pitch.

    Tranmere will be up for a battle today, can't see that starting XI matching it tbh. Dark days indeed :(
     
    Is James Garner hurt? Feel like he should at least be making the bench considering we have no other midfield options at the moment and Fred needs a rest.
     
    He's playing an extra defender so he doesn't have to play Fred and risk him getting injured on the beach pitch. He's the only fit midfielder we have who can run. Seems pretty obvious to me.

    Not sure what else he can do really. We should still win...although I say that bearing in mind that we probably wont.
     
    This team selection has all the hallmark of a manager desperately trying to save his job, picking a strong team set up defensively because he cant concede first! I'm not expecting a good performance, since when was the last time we had one of those, but if we win at what cost?
