Oh fair enough but I still want to defend him. Care for a duel?
Matic and Pogba are two of my favourite players we have. Both are very tall. McTominay, who's also quite big, isn't very good, imo. Nothing to do with his height as to why I don't rate him. Or his name and nationality as Fletcher was one of my favourites, too.
Because hes better
Literally no one has said he's great.
There's people who dont rate him and there's people willing to give him a chance.Will be interesting and could go either way, or even a draw imo.
I think he'd perfect in the 'Fellaini'-role, mopping things up between the centrebacks.
Fellaini himself is probaby going to play in the hole.
I'll be watching it, cause I get an excuse to give my teeth a good TePe session at the same time.
For all their height, Smalling and Fellaini excepted, they are pretty crap at heading.
I remember when we had Ibra, Fellaini, Lukaku - all up front trying to score a goal against a minnow who were hanging on for dear life. A post said, "we've got 3 oafs up front and none of them can head the ball for shit!"
Go back and look at the comment I was replying to x
That's a good betBrace yourself for headed goal from West Ham
I seriously hope that’s not the case.We desperately need points on the board,this is not the time to play these little games...I hope he’s picking Martial because he believes that Martial and Lukaku can dovetail better in a front 2....
This.With all that defensive cover, if pogba doesn't attack all game then Jose is gonna whip him with a wet towel in the changies9/11. Had Sanchez and Herrera starting over Fellaini and McTominay.
Not looking forward to this one bit.
I was kidding although there are some who believe it's Jose's mind games. Like he puts him there to prove he's bad, something.Tallest team in the world, still shit in the air, still shit from corners at both ends, still shit from set pieces. So what is the point, exactly?
WHU will be licking their chops at the lineup. We are losing this.
Why won't Rashford play on Wednesday?
Signing off with a kiss is so sassy.
No worries. Yeah I’m sure they used to be 12:45. No idea when or why they became 12:30.
But not under Mourinho....Mourinhos made it crystal clear that Rashfords clearly ahead of Martial in the pecking order under him.He clearly rates Rashford more than Martial...He even got upset 10 days ago when Carragher said that Rashford should leave United...
And Rashford won’t play on Wednesday night,it will most probably be Lukaku,Lingard and Sanchez...So why isn’t Rashford starting this game?
Do you have stats to back this up, or are you just talking out of your ass? Set-pieces are luckily one area where stats actually work well.
I’ll think we’ll definitely need to score more than West Ham to win the match. Don’t quote me though.Really sticking your neck out there with that prediction
It’s alright having a massive lineup but who’s whipping balls into them? Ashley young?
Fellaini is a far better player than what McTominay has shown for us so far. He's a decent squad player if the likes of Matic and Fellaini aren't available, but with them in the team it seems a bit ridiculous to have McTominay in there as well ahead of Pereira or Fred. And before anyone says he is likely playing in defence, it'd be natural for Fellaini to play that role (as he has done very well lately) which opens up the spot in midfield for Pereira/Fred.
Hopefully Jose has some brilliant tactical plan behind this, other than just 'make us as solid and tall as possible'.Happy with the team and very happy with the players dropped.
Still think we'll lose this. I'll stick to my prediction. 3-1 West Ham.
Last 2/3 games Martial has been better and scored goals, who cares what Jose said a year ago, its irrelevant
Will be a proper 4-3-3....Lingard and Sanchez on the flanks,Lukaku through the middle.I think that Sanchez,Lingard and Valencia are being rested for Wednesday night...
I agree. Martial isn't great either but better than Rashford.
Ha, well I was wrong to say that you were fibbing, but not everyone bases their opinion on McTominay due to his height. I'm usually on the opposite end, guilty of overhyping most of our youth products (Cleverley being a fitting example) but, with McTominay, I've never thought he was good - even watching him for the U23s.
I love seeing our youth products come good so, if he does so, I'll be the first to hold my hands up and admit I was wrong as I have been plenty of times before.Kerlon style seal dribbles from your midfield skyscrapers and you'll win 8-0.Certainly an interesting lineup. No Sanchez could be a good thing given the amount he gives the ball away and his lack of goal threat. Good to see Martial getting a chance after looking positive mid week.
Going to be an ugly game.Would anyone be kind enough to send me a river please?McTominay playingMartial has more talent than Rashford, but he has to start putting it together when he starts.
People still harp on about his LvG season. The guy only scored 11 in 31 that year!
His movement is poor unless the ball is laid up on a plate for him. I'm desperate for him to improve that. It could solve so many problems.
Six goals in seven appearances against West Ham and in better form compared to just one goal in eight appearances against West Ham for Rashford.- Status
