I called it - McFred starting apparently - still waiting on the rest.

Any other team news?

 

[Water Melon]

Got a feeling, it's a win today maybe a scrappy lucky win, but a win. I can see us creating not many chances but taking them. Or I'm just hoping or joking.

You are hoping, mate. I am past that stage. We have no fuel in our tanks, so it will be a double decker bus parked in front of Deano. Our only hope will be long balls which Rashford is very unlikely to do something about. I expect a routine win for City without sweating much.

 

[Judas]

It's one of those games that yeah great if we win but it'll oddly just make me angrier in some ways about all the shite performances lately. We could win this and I'd go into the game against West Ham with no greater confidence that we'll beat them.

 

[Red00012]

I called it - McFred starting apparently - still waiting on the rest.

As opposed to who exactly

 

[Judas]

As opposed to who exactly

Aye. Not exactly the most staggering of predictions. It would have genuinely been shocking if it wasn't them starting.

 

[MadDogg]

I'd be surprised if a single person thought we'd play anything different. Those two and Matic are our only fit midfielders so of course they would play.

 

[Ondrej]

It's going to be so ugly.

 

[laughtersassassin]

I know it's practically the only option with Pogba out but McFred being the starting pair in every big six game has killed us.

Honestly with Fred's performances I would have considered just going for Matic but of course that makes its own issues with workrate when city have the ball

It's monday tomorrow, i called it.

 

[Judas]

Cavani's injury issues cement our desperate need for a striker in the summer. He can't be relied upon no matter how good he is when he's fit.

Id have all 3 for this and sacrifice Cavani from last starting line up. We will need to pack the midfield. Give Scoott license to bomb forward when chance arises

Think Cavani is out

 

[VeevaVee]

[VeevaVee]

Feel like we need a Cavani here. The forward line is bereft of any kind of ‘alpha’ player otherwise. They could do some damage but they’ll have to be fully switched on, which is a big ask at the moment

McFred fit and firing this afternoon is literally the only thing preventing City from rolling right over us.

The McFred partnership is like a running joke and I don't get why. They're quality players if a little limited in the attacking department.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Why are we playing a half injured Martial over Greenwood?

It's fine with injuries. It has cost us when Pogba was fit as those attacking limitations kills our ability to well attack.

They have been the starting pair in every top six game this season and we haven't scored an open play goal.

 

[SuperiorXI]

Martial over Greenwood?

 

[RedIan]

Not heard anything about cavani being out. I think he will play martial ahead of him though.

 

[Judas]

Big game for Martial to do...something.

 

[Hugh Jass]

Martial, for christs sake.

 

[Idxomer]

Martial over Greenwood?

The right decision.

 

[UmbroDays]

Henderson, James and Martial start.

Right call on them to be fair.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Can't believe Martial is starting. Shocking

 

[2 man midfield]

Martial usually shows up in this fixture tbf

 

[PlayerOne]

Surprised about Martial. I would prefer Greenwood to start as a striker, but lets see how it goes.

 

[SuperiorXI]

The right decision.

How's that? Martial has been crap for ages now.

 

[Lay]

Martial

 

[Machine Elements]

Martial was great in this fixture last year. Hopefully he'll be again. James starting on the other hand, bleeds my eyes.

 

[Judas]

We can't possibly play as badly today as we did midweek.

 

[Still ill]

Show of faith in Tony. I think he'll turn up today.

 

[charlenefan]

How's that? Martial has been crap for ages now.

As has Greenwood tbf

Our most in form attacking player is the one playing at West Ham

 

[GoldanoGraham]

Gonna be a hard watch today.....I’m getting the beers in nice and early to take the edge of what will be a long 90 mins today.....

 

[Judas]

I honestly didn't think we'd see Martial starting in a big game again, but I suppose Cavani's injury forced Ole's hand.

 

[SuperiorXI]

Show of faith in Tony. I think he'll turn up today.

I hope so for his sake. If he has yet another poor game it can't be doing much for his confidence.

 

[laughtersassassin]

He hasn't been Martial bad

 

[KeanoMagicHat]

So has Greenwood.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

The right decision.

No No and did I say No, he has been crap in his past few games.

 

[Jonno]

Big chance to forgive and forget Tony Martial
