West Ham United 2:0 Manchester United

freeurmind · Sep 22, 2019

Honestly think our team looks better than West Hams but doubtful we can play well for the full 90 minutes. Wan Bissaka versus Anderson duel will be key. Ill go 1-1

Playing both Matic and Mata when it’s known they’re both not suited to play at the same time and have under performed numerous times so yes it is OGS fault.

We haven't even started the match yet!

Greenwood...tonsilitis!!!!

So he isn’t fit to play.

Are you embarrassed that you were acting like a toddler?

I thought Fred was great against Astana, but he lacks a lot of match training. Not likely that he is quite fit yet to start consecutive matches, that is why Matic starts. McTominay was the best Manchester United player on the pitch against Leicester, so he starts.

I was thinking the same about Fred. He's only just played his first full game so I can't imagine he's fully fit yet. Hope to see him around the hour as well.

Usually when there is dismay about the lineup we do well.

West Ham 0 - 5 United

Tonsillitis.

It would be nice to go through a season without an injury ravaged squad, the majority of which tend to be key players.

I swear we're cursed.

How is it on him? Our squad is not better than this.

Unless its fitness reasons, Lingard and Fred absolutely should be starting for 2 of Mata/Pereira/Matic. I'd personally choose Mata and Pereira out for Fred and Lingard while pushing Mctominay up. If they aren't fit to start, then understandable.

Drifter · Sep 22, 2019

Time for Rashford to shine.

freeurmind · Sep 22, 2019

Micheal Owen going in on United. No managers have improved any players apparently.

golden_blunder · Sep 22, 2019

The midfield selection doesn’t exactly inspire me. They are all one-paced

Schmeichel's Cartwheel · Sep 22, 2019

So what happens if Rashford gets injured in the 1st minute?

Not replacing Lukaku is starting to look dumber and dumber isn't it?

It's amazing how midtable we look on paper. feck me how did it get to this.

Lingard has been dreadful so far this season. Quite rightly, he’s been dropped to the bench.

Alabaster Codify7 · Sep 22, 2019

Wouldnt be surprised if we lose this. Our squad is fecking disgusting.

stu_1992 · Sep 22, 2019

Didn't think we were ever likely to throw the youngsters in so soon after them just playing the full (or majority of the) game on Thursday. So that's probably the best team we can put out given the circumstances.

Glad to see Dan James back in the side. Hopefully he can cause them a few issues. Need Rashford to get his shooting boots on ahead of this game. Was incredibly wasteful in the last game. Shame about Greenwood as he would have been a nice option off the bench had he been not ill.

Mata has churned out good performances for two games in a row and yet you choose to name him ahead of anonymous performances like Matic and Pereira?

Mata was the completely anonymous one, just like most of the rest of his United career. Pereira at least works hard

How is Fred not starting....

Being injured would be the safest assumption considering he is a United player.

Chong is so lucky to even make the bench after thursday, shouldn't see a minute of action today.

True but i'm going by what think Ole will do.

Mata and Pereira haven't really been better though. Lingard got injured, now is fit and it's probably the type of game that suits him more anyway.

NJM78 · Sep 22, 2019

We have not won an away game since PSG and have only scored 5 goals.

prateik · Sep 22, 2019

This place is boringly predictable.. Moan no matter what.

The only surprise in the lineup for me is Lingard not starting..

And if he was starting, people would be moaning about that too.

Massive Spanner · Sep 22, 2019

I'd actually take a draw.

When everyone is fit we only have one midfielder who bucks that trend.

just like pereira..

Drifter · Sep 22, 2019

1-1 at least.

Ekeke · Sep 22, 2019

I'm going to expect 1-1 or 2-1 to us scraping by. Haller to score for West Ham and Rashford for us

Asger · Sep 22, 2019

tonnas said:
with pogba and martial out, you cant expect better with oru then squad. What I dont understand is periera? he is simply useless...

Tbf, almost every player starting today are on Pereira lecel

I agree with Fred, Lingard should just be playing for teams like Leeds.

Hoof the ball · Sep 22, 2019

Prediction.

We'll play a very average game, as is usual at the moment, but will come away with a point.

Post match rhetoric from Ole will be that he felt we were unlucky not to win it.

Rinse and repeat.

Can't for the life of me see us winning this one. These lot live to play against us and we are tosh. Nailed on to draw or lose.

agreed... with the draw being a bit less likely but if it is a draw, we'll score and then refuse to go for the kill and give them a daft equaliser

Gomez false 9?

Yeah, if I'm the West Ham manager I'd tell my CBs to be a bit rough with Rashford, would completely nullify our attack today.

Given who we have missing and Spurs losing yesterday I'd take a draw now too.

Random Task · Sep 22, 2019

I guess we'll lineup something like this:

DDG

AWB Lindelof Maguire Young

Mctominay Matic

Periera Mata James

Rashford

4-0 United.

James to complete a quadruple.

Pereira does feck all. Mata is miles better than him both right and centrally.

Same lineup as Leicester.

because we looked so great in that game...

Woodzy · Sep 22, 2019

That is a mid table line up. Sad to be seeing a United team in that state.

Ekeke · Sep 22, 2019

tonnas said:

Also does more defensively, wins more aerials etc.

Pereira is a harder worker outperforming both Mata and Lingard, despite mostly playing on the right while they've played in the middle. Get over it

Crashoutcassius · Sep 22, 2019

so same 11 as last week when the predictions were we would be thrashed?

Ekeke · Sep 22, 2019

VP89 said:

Evidently not, because Pereira is the one who has done stuff this season while Mata hasnt

Had no idea Christenson was a Chelsea academy graduate
