Isn't he the one named Gerard ?Bailly, Lindelof, De Gea. I can just picture some very nervy moments. But our attack should do the business.
We'll win.The central defensive spine has me worried
yesThis game hinges on Bailly. It’s a miracle he hasn’t conceded more penalties and red cards during his time here. If he keeps it sensible, we win, simple as that.
That's the bet Ole is making. I wouldn't and I consider myself a bit more adventurous than Ole, but he's made the call. No dallying on the ball Pogba! Receive and ping those balls quick quick quick!
After those comments you just know he'll be trying to prove something
Calling it now : I think De Gea will be a huge reason for us winning this game and will make some important saves.
Or just get behind it and let the magic happenI don't know whether to laugh or cry at that team
Ole has been slated for being too cautious with McFred. So a dynamic swap of Pogba / Bruno attacking or supporting McSauce is a great call. Pace to put the shitters up that defence, also a great call. Message is let's go and attack, lets see what you got.
Over to the players now.
It’s more on McTominay than Pogba, because teams are going to double/triple Pogba and force McT to be the one to play from the back. If he can do so, we’ll shred them
That’s pretty common in Spain. They refer to Torres as Pau there too.
Sorry for your loss mate, hope they do him proud tonight.
Gerard is his first name. It's Gerard MorenoI’m super nervous now with the lineupShades of the 83 european cup winners cup final when Fergie named Stuart Kennedy on the bench even though he wouldn't be able to come on.Money Mase is bagging tonight, btwZero confidence in Bailly. Doubly so after his head is halfway out the door. He will cost us this trophy.how Bailly is getting this chance is beyond me.
They score one, we score 2
I’ve got a feeling he will probably want to focus on getting a medal tonight.Good to see we've gone attacking. It would've been strange not to start Greenwood or Rashford for this.
I wonder if Fernandes will drop slightly deeper to accomodate the attackers. He was seen very much as an 8 when he played in Portugal.
I reckon Fergie has influenced Solskjaer’s selection tonight. You’re in a final, go for the win.
Agreed on Axel.Ole going for the kill. I think we will start all out attack.Will need Pogba to put some hard yards in and not make desperate tackles, yellow early.
I wouldn't want McT isolated, especially without Maguire to manage back line.
If we defend well (as a team), we'll gain from Pogba going forward.
Nervous but confident... we've got five clear goal threats.I couldn't be more confident now we're actually going offensive in a knock out game, that's what United should always be about. We will have a huge amount of the ball, makes sense to trust our £80m CM in the CM role we know he can play.Rashford on the left Get ready for a masterclass. He’s well rested and ready to go!The One Show has just started with Jermaine Jeans, does that mean we don’t have to suffer him tonight?It's a strong, attacking first XI.
I'm more comfortable with a match changing option on the bench, especially as we're a second half team, so that's an issue with Martial injured - if we go with all three of Rashford, Greenwood and Cavani to start, which is very strong, the only negative is there's not much to come off the bench.
Also I'm a little surprised that we've broken up McFred when Maguire is missing.
With that attacking line up, we really need to be 'on it' from the start and get in front - as they should have the ability to do - as we've not got much reliable attacking threat to bring on if we start slowly again.A lot of pressure on the starting XI to get the job doneI’d prefer Fred over Mctominay especially with Pogba in the middle. Hmmm.10/11, I had Fred instead of McT.
Hope he's been sleeping with the healing machine. We need him at his bestRashford on the left Get ready for a masterclass. He’s well rested and ready to go!
I think I'm pleased we're going so attacking, but I worry about being that attacking with that back two.I can't imagine Pogba will venture forward. Oftentimes, especially when he and McTominay play together, Pogba is normally the deepest of the two, where he's tasked with starting our transitions.
Villareal, from the little I've seen, do like to press quite high, so hopefully, we don't get caught on it but at the same time, if Pogba can get on the half-turn, then he could potentially hurt them.
Hopefully.High risk, high reward. We will concede a few chances, but we'll create a ton of them, too.10/11
I had Fred starting instead of Greenwood.Is this on free to air TV in the UK? Didn't BT Sport used to put some games on Freeview?
theres still the risk of his alter ego, Janus being on- Status
