    I can see United putting on a good performance today in a difficult game, with Pogba being man of the match
     
    Struggling for motivation for this, like the players. It'll be like sitting down to watch a re-run episode of little house on the prairie. Dead cert to be piss poor boring, but without the luxury of adverts.

    Can see a very physical game today. Our midfield needs to be Pogba-Fellaini-Matic. Smalling and Bailly (CB's). Can't have their team bullying us about!

    Lindelof hasnt done anything to be dropped. West Ham are physical, but like Watford, the physical work will be carried out by Fellaini and Smalling, who got the better out of a physical Troy Deeney and Andre Gray.

    I never struggle for motivation to see us play.
    Looking forward to this. We need to win.
     
    Could be De Gea, Smalling, McT, Lindelof, Dalot, Shaw, Matic, Pogba, Fellaini, Alexis, Lukaku then! If we're playing three CB's I hope we're playing two attacking wing backs or it could be torturous

    If Lindelöf plays he'll sit in the shadow of Smalling throughout the game as he usually does. We need someone beside Smalling who is prepared to show a bit of authority and give it a go. Bailly is our best option!

    McTominay is rumoured to start at CB.

    Hahaha. Banter FC back at it! Lets play the League One level player (who is only in our squad because he is tall & local) out of position! Genius! Jose wants that sweet compensation package.

    2-1 West Ham. We'll park the bus which should keep the score down a bit!
     
    Better than McTominay in midfield. West Ham have a lot of strength and peace in midfield. Maybe that's why he would go to three at the back.

    Jesus calm down.
    Maybe he wants a player comfortable enough to step out in midfield to create a back 3 when we have the ball?
    Tactics lol

    ofcourse it's going to be three at the back if Scott is playing.

    Nah, it'll be 5 at the back. We need that extra protection against the mighty West Ham.

    And deer in the headlights Scott McTominay is that man?
     
    McTominay at CB simply because he's tall. This decision alone is confirmation that Jose Mourinho has lost his touch completely - the game has passed this man by at this level.

    Changing my prediction to 1-0 West Ham.

    Felliani would be a better choice as CB that can step out and join midfield. He isnt too bad on the ball either and will strengthen up the defence winning the aerial challenges.
     
    Wonder what José is thinking, or is this rumour just misunderstood and McTominay is playing the role that Fellaini has been playing.

    But Fellaini is needed to shield the back 4. Plus hes not mobile enough imo and we wouldn't have any cover behind him if he makes a mistake.
    He's also playing too well to be moved.
