Happy to see Bruno dropped as weird as that might sound.
I don't know what else people expected but McFred.

Refused to play?? That's not the Bruno I know.
What's the alternative to AWB? Dalot can't defend. McFred pretty much the only choice for midfield, too.McFred, AWB, and Maguire
The caf will always find something to complain about.
Apparently we have millions of midfield options that we aren’t usingGood line up, lets see what our play and energy levels are
He was definitely signed to be a no10. I'm sure I remember reading at the time that's his preferred position.McT . And Donny on no10. He is not no10 ffs
Could maybe have gone Bailly and Maguire to give the former more game time in preparation but can't expect many changes I guess.What formation? 4-2-3-1?
I mean you may be right, just wondering if you had read itYeah, my bad. I forgot that there are other formations except 4231
Quite like the look of that line up. He’s gone for a team more capable of retaining some controlled possession I think.People realise outside of mcfred we don't actually have other midfielders right? Matic played Saturday and we know his legs aren't good (he also wasn't that good).I was thinking that VDB, Martial, Sancho and a couple others should have decent chemistry with the extra time at training while not playing international. You could see signs of that in the last game with VDB and Sancho.Losing top spot in the lineup league, but I don't care cuz Bruno needed to be dropped, and i'm forever Martial FCWell, no one is going to accuse Carrick of just picking the same team as Ole. Dropping Bruno is a statement. It takes away one of our few chance creation tactics of Bruno to Ronaldo. Maybe he is going for more control with all of VdB, McT and Fred. Or maybe he has one eye on the Chelsea game. Martial is also interesting but I think Mason would be in for him if he was available.Big balls on him to drop Bruno.Interested to see how this set up does! Depending on how the game goes, Bruno and/or Rashford could be subbed for any of the front 6.McFred!!!
How is it funny? Did you expect him to start himself?McFred!!!
Keeps McFred
Keeps Maguire
Drops our best player in Bruno for the biggest game of the season
Starts Martial
Wow. You do you Mike.
This should be entertaining.
Yup, hopefully light a fire under his ass when he inevitable comes on in the second half. Finally a piece of good management.F-ing McFred. Both are really likable guys but have been useless all year. More nice guys FC. The inanity appears to be terminal. Is Scotty an illegitimate Glazer? Eddie out. Glazers out.
Yeah, drop one of our better players while we play the likes of Mctomminay or Martial who were one of worst players in Ole's tenure. He is just being too careful, not surprised.
McTomminay should be dropped from squad totally based on his recent performances and hiding on the pitch.I like that team persoanlly.Wasn’t it against Villarreal at OT that we played that horrible 433 with McTominay at the base and Pogba/Bruno either side. But it ended up being a one man midfield with massive holes everywhere.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see that again, with both McTominay and Donny at 8 in front of Fred. I can at least see that being far more functional.
It's called more balance.Two keepers on the bench as well
Absolute mad lad this Carrick.
If we win, we should have won with more
If we draw, we should have won
If we lose, we should have won
So it doesn't matter what results are in the end. There will always be something missing and complaining about.
For me, good starting eleven. You could have pretty much put out any player. It is not about quality. It is about getting back confidence. 0-0 with 11 men behind the ball and I'll be happy.
Yeah Carrick has always been the sort to retain possession even in his playing days..Where's Pogba
Does Bruno play left wing or centre mid?
If we’re going by recent performances, he’s been utter garbage along with most of them.
Injured.So can we rule out that Ole wasn't the only one obsessed with Fred? Maybe it was Carrick all along.Scott surprises me as he has been off the pace all season mostly but very creative line up going forward, looks like a supply chain to feed Ronaldo. Let's go!Bit of a boring looking line up really, surprised he hasn't gone for a grafter like Lingard if Rashford's not starting
Well not really because even though he's been out of form he's the only one who creates anything if were honest.
Starting Martial is bananas really, I mean I hope he makes me eat my words but I'd be surprised if he's not entirely anonymous (again.)
Fred has shown for Brazil that he is not our biggest issue.So can we rule out that Ole wasn't the only one obsessed with Fred? Maybe it was Carrick all along.
Haha I think people just like to whinge like bitches regardless of who starts and how we play.Brave of Carrick to drop Bruno. He creates chances but he turns over possession too much for our frail defence to cope.- Status
