    Is Jones even registered in the PL squad. I know he wasn't registered in our initial squad at the start of the season. Was he added in January?
     
    I know we want to heavily rotate but we mustn’t lose. I want to maintain our prestigious away record.
     
    Wow, that leak is bonkers with the Jones inclusion. If it's true, it pretty much confirms our team for the final as clearly Ole is trying to make sure none of the final's starting XI get any injuries. It'll be surreal to see Jones play after so long, hope he does well.

    I hope it goes better than last time :nervous:
     
    Looks like another loss is coming up. The idea we can just switch it on on Wednesday is fanciful.

    It is a worry, we've seen how when this squad goes through a slump it slumps hard. I still don't really trust us, and yet I'm still more than confident we'll win on wednesday. Maybe I just want to believe :(
     
    Leak has Greenwood starting. Which likely means in the bench for the final.

    Imo that would be a big mistake

    The thing is all of these 'slumps' had different factors at the heart of them.

    There is no pattern between the causes to think that if the team hits a slump, it can't get out of it. We've not won any of the games we've not needed to win over the past two weeks. If any of those were must-win games I think we'd have seen a different performance. You've seen the grit and resilience the team have shown to come back from losing positions all season.
     
    Phil Jones last played in the league against Burnley in the 19/20 season on 22 January, 2020. He last featured for United in the FA Cup against Tranmere Rovers in the 19/20 season on 26th January 2020. It seems he was last in a matchday squad (as an unused sub on the bench) on the 17th February 2020 in the same season in a league game against Chelsea.

    He has yet to feature this season.

    It's likely Greenwood can recover quicker than Cavani and Rashford still carrying an injury. If the leak is true, it's prob the best solution

    over a year might feel like a long time, but then again, it's only about 1/8 of his total tenure at United so far. Let that sink in.
     
    When was the last time Jones played?

    He's had a full season out, and only played 8 last season.

    Will certainly be interesting if he did start, and if the lineup is anywhere near the "leak".

    Especially as Ole gave the impression it'd only be a few changes.
     
    I suppose it's fine if Hendo starts, but I was really hoping for Lee Grant to be given a start here. He's massively popular in the dressing room and I'm sure the lads would be hyped if he'd been given the nod. Maybe we'll see a second half substitution, here's to hoping
     
    I'd give Donny a full 90 mins, with the freedom to play where he wants. Let's really see if we signed the guy we thought we did or his Faroe Island twin brother...
    What are you hoping to see from him? he'll never be a roaming playmaker like Fernandes which people seem to be hoping for.
    I imagine people are hoping to see goals - from the goal scoring midfielder that we bought from CL semi-finalists for a sizeable fee - and the technical ability to link up in attacks, and assist in goals and attacks that way, as he showed at Ajax, while not being an actual playmaker.

    On here, as with most debates nowadays, there seems to be little room for the middle ground. Either he's 'rubbish' at one extreme, or anyone saying anything remotely negative is mocked at the other extreme. There's plenty of room to say the middle ground - that he's clearly a good player, as he's proven elsewhere, but, so far, there's very few positives to say about his time with us and so posting some negative comments, within context, are perfectly valid.
     
    Thank god the rumours of Jones was incorrect :lol:

    Ole resting everyone fair enough tbh
