Valencia 2:1 Manchester United

RedSky · Dec 12, 2018

Boring lineup all things considered. Shame was hoping one of the young lads would start.

ash_86 · Dec 12, 2018

Midfield everyone of us asked. Lets see how it goes.

3KDré · Dec 12, 2018

Andreas on the left wing? Rojo at left back again? Why???

RedDevil@84 · Dec 12, 2018

Are we playing 4-3-3 with Mata on left and Pereira on right?

Ban · Dec 12, 2018

Wonder if Pogba will get any help from Fellaini.

Good lineup which means we will probably lose.

So Pogba is officially a reserve team player. No way he will stand for that, expect him to be gone by next summer.

Beginning to loathe Jose with a passion.

What do you mean officially? This doesn't mean anything.

No Matic?

I refuse to believe that teamsheet was released without hidden white text somewhere in it.
Matic always plays!

Don't worry, he will on Sunday!

ivaldo · Dec 12, 2018

Seriously lack of pace up top. Would have preferred Andreas central and Lingard/Rashford in for Fellaini. Good to see a few youngsters getting an opportunity though.

Yeah feels like he's humiliating Pogba to teach him a lesson.

Without wishing to go down the 'WWFD' route, it's hard to imagine Fergie using this motivational tactic.

Yes he is. So is Lukaku, Fellaini and Mata

I hope this means no stormzy avs Liverpool over the weekend.

People get abit tetchy when you criticise certain players.

Every member of our squad has performed poorly for large parts of the season and an equal portion of criticism should be distributed to each and every one of them, but that's just not the case here is it.

Pogba, the virus, has been made the scapegoat. All so Jose can deflect the blame from himself. He did the same thing to Hazard at Chelsea.

Bit OTT. Pogba hasn't deserved to play in other games but Jose will want to keep him match fit. It's up to Pogba to show he doesn't only want to turn up when he decides.
If he doesn't want to do that then I'll be glad to see the back of him.

So whenever people point out that Perisic is average, Mourinho fanboys cannot to show how good Perisic was for Croatia but for Pogba the world cup performances doesn't matter?

Can you also tell me why not one single player in our team is consistent? Why is a world class player like Sanchez rotting on the bench?

I'm not sure how Perisic is performing in Serie A. I don't mention him, because I don't know how good or bad he is.

I watch Pogba enough to point out he's average though.

I wish it was earlier too. I will be at work when the second half starts

@SadlerMUFC

If you're working a lot during CL matches a subscription to DAZN is worth the money. It's relatively easy for us to avoid results in Canada and you can watch the match anytime after it ends.

Second string midfield is the one we should be starting as our first choice midfield.

We should wait till we see how they're going to perform though.

Schmeichel's Cartwheel · Dec 12, 2018

So Dalot is starting at Anfield? And Pogba is going to be benched again?

Kapardin · Dec 12, 2018

If Young Boys can take points off Juve, and we somehow win...might have a chance of a kind Ro16 draw and making it to the QF. Believe.

Otherwise we are set to face a big team in the Ro16. Not fancying playing Barca or PSG with our leaky defense unless we get Koulibaly or someone in January.

Irrational. · Dec 12, 2018

Stacked with central players, no width... This game is going to be dull as dishwater. 0-0 or 1-0 Valencia.

Pogba has been given a chance to prove that he is good enough to start.

limerickcitykid · Dec 12, 2018

The side is slow as feck

Dolf · Dec 12, 2018

Is that Rojo at leftback?

Wouldn't Koulibaly be cup tied in that case?

Think he will be cup tied anyway, so no point signing him in January

There’s no pressure whatsoever, so we’ll probably win 0-4

I just stream them for free after the match. I won't ever pay for DAZN. Now I hear they got the rights to the EPL for next season too. So much for going to a bar to watch games

But he hasn't been dropped because of his form. Jose himself has stated, in no uncertain terms, that Pogba is a poisonous influence in the dressing room, akin to a virus. Jose has hung him out to dry.

When did Jose say that ?

Devil may care · Dec 12, 2018

So either a diamond midfield or Fellaini as a 3rd CB? Why do we only have 5 subs?

He'lmurderyah15 · Dec 12, 2018

3 at the back ? fred Lwb ?

Darkhorsez · Dec 12, 2018

I see that BT sports has the glorious line up of Owen and Hargreaves out. FFS!

That's what happens when there's favoritism. Matic has cost us goals and put in some horrible performances that I've never seen before from an United player. It's a travesty that he's untouchable, even unbelievable ,comical, criminal.

He didn't use those words specifically, but you get the picture.

I forget exactly what he said to be fair.

I wonder if its a 352 with Mata moving all over

De Gea
Valencia - Bailly - Jones
Andreas - Fred - Fellaini - Pogba - Rojo
Mata - Lukaku

BrianMcClair'sBarnet · Dec 12, 2018

I dont mind Hargreaves.

That Pogba is officially a reserve team player, or at least that is the message that Jose is putting across here.

The cup tied rule is removed.
A player may now play for two different clubs, one in the group stage, and another one in the knock out-rounds.
