Nowhere for Martial to hide, completely free of a sanchez sub. Lets see if he can be bothered to turn up tonight.

Agreed. Proper weird.
I remember last year when somebody said "when everybody is happy with the lineup we usually lose" hope not!
Maybe 4-2-2-2 or 4-3-3 with Pogba up right.Attacking production will rely on Martial and Pogba. Wonder if we're giving West ham too much respect with this lineup. They're physical but one of the less technical teams on the ball. We would be able to dominate possession against these guys if we triedI simply just don’t rate McTominay. No hate, I love to see lads from the academy come through but I don’t see what makes him loved by Jose other than his height and his willingness to track back. Would love to be proved wrong though of courseFunny, talks about how he needs signings, but its his own signings that seem to be failing - Sanchez, Bailly, Lindelof, and Fred now dropped.So it's 2 in attack with pogba behind. Fellaini and matic in the centre flanked by the wing backs. Then the 3 centre backs.
Of course it is tactical plan. I dont see any need for Pogba to drop too deep with this line up. He can concentrate to attack attack attack cant he?
He's personally stopping fanboy favourite Andrea Periera from getting a look in.
Plus he's tall,British,plays it simple and ,naturally, has indecent photos of Jose and Rui Faria.
I never said he was...
At least Pereira can pass the ball. McTominay lacks the basics.Would have been better to use Dalot. The guy can at least put a cross in.McTominay is fine for the low expectations we have for him. He’s nothing special though - think that’s what people have an issue with.
Certainly had a few games last season when he exceeded expectations.
Obviously a player that will jump off a building if Mourinho tells him to.Damn, was hoping we'd seen the last of McTominay.It's obvious, he plays McTominay just to annoy Pogba. 99% certain.McTominay?
That's a weird one...
Is it 4-2-2-2?Fred
Yeah whatever helps you get through the day mate. Im not a fan of Pogba or his behavior but Mourinho isnt the type of manager to cave. I am more concerned that McTominay offers more than just a body than I am of Pogba playing.
People like you need to read to understand the context of a post5-3-2 land of the giants. Have you ever seen a more Mourinho line-up?
Take Pogba & de Gea out, and you'd actually be rightWhat is it with this McTominay hate.
He's British and tall. the Caf is always going to hate him.
I say watch his distribution. It's quick and natural. Compared to Pogba and Matic, he moves the ball on at lightning speed. Nothing amazing, but better than some of the other dawdlers we have.Brace yourselves lads: dis gon' be ugly.
Lukaku sounds like he's giving a euology in the pre match interviewMatic deserves much more of a slagging off than McTominay.
If he were 6 inches shorter but identical in every other way, people would love him.
Parking the bus at West Ham. He is trolling us.
Yes Pogba probably wants a slightly more attacking role himself, but more than that he wants the team as a whole to attack more so he can actually find runners. This line-up is likely the opposite of what he wants.You know how we’re set out to play with that lineup. Jose said Fred was important for our new way of playing so if he’s benched for Fellaini/McTominay then it’s going to be uglyAny idea about the formation. Seems to be filled with too many defensive players, unless Fellaini has been declared an attackerWhat, no Sanchez?
He's rubbish. Have thought so even when watching him for the U23s.
He's been terrible this season.
I don't think McTominay is good enough for Utd either though to be honest.
Sarcasm? Neither of them deserve slagging off really.
This. I was surprised when he was first called to the first team
its a 12.45 kick off buddy.
What a desultory, condescending and cursory attitude to Martial. Totally agree.
Sanchez,Valencia and Lingard have probably been rested for Wednesday night....It’s a big big game against Valencia...Our midfield:
6'4"
6'4"
6'4"
6'3"
It has to go down in history as the tallest midfield of all time, surely? Although either McTominay or Fellaini are likely playing in the defence to be fair (which has another 6'4" player itself in Smalling). Then Lukaku up front who is 6'2". Perhaps the tallest team line-up of all time?
8. Had Martial in but changed him at the last minute for Sanchez. Also though Dalot might start, didn't see McTominay starting though, doubt many did.I bet no one get 11/11 or even 10/11 with that line up.
I think the lineup is absolutely shocking and we will struggle to string 5 passes together. Apart from Pogba and Martial there is absolutely no creativity in the team. Not confident at all, hope I am wrong...- Status
