Apparently MUTV has Bruno as false 9, if that counts for anything

That was my first thought when I saw the line-up but I think most of us would rather see him in midfield and Amorim trying something interesting. Our league matches are dead-rubber games anyway.

I seen something the other week that was saying Netflix are looking to buy premier league games or stream the 3pm games. Hope this comes true.

That would be cool. I have Netflix so I would be able to watch them.

 

[Berbaclass]

So Heaven is going to be apart of the first team squad this season?

Yes it's been said load of times.

Yes it's been said load of times.

I’m just thinking where’s he getting game time from?

Backup to Lisandro.

That would mean Mainoo as CDM as well, which isn't great.

I'd probably prefer:

Ugarte - Bruno
Amad - Mainoo
Garnacho​

Apparently Mainoo is up front.

 

[LInkash]

Martinez smashing them in in the warm up

That’s bizarre.

 

[DJ_21]

Backup to Lisandro.

Is he left footed then? Didn’t know

 

[hellhunter]

Is he left footed then? Didn’t know

Yeah he is

 

[croadyman]

No actual ST. That tells us everything Amorim thinks

Showing Tel there is an opening to lead line

Bayern being awkward to deal with though. They was getting more of spurs than we want to pay.

 

[Ayoba]

Mainoo behind amad and garnacho

 

[DJ_21]

If we’re not keen on the ST then we should be promoting Obi

 

[Berbaclass]

Mainoo behind amad and garnacho

 

[Chumpsbechumps]

I’d be worried Ugarte is gonna get overrun in CM, feels like a Kante would be perfect for what we need from that position

 

[bosnian_red]

That’s bizarre.

Eh not really. He's the only one capable of dealing with long balls and holding it up decently there, link with amad and Garnacho who can run behind

 

[DJ_21]

Wish these games that aren’t on sky would be shown on MUTV or something.

 

[Ayoba]

Onana with a bit of timber round his midsection?

 

[tomaldinho1]

Clever starting XI from Amorim, Palace are a tall team, it would be pointless having Zirkzee/Hojlund to lump it to and play off as it won't pay off. Instead the one-touch pass and move we had the 2nd half Thursday night will likely cause the most problems to Palace.

Don't think it's really about height, it's more that he doesn't want to mirror their setup. Weakest area of ours is the link between getting the ball out of defence and into attack, hence why long pointless balls feature heavily, a false 9 negates that somewhat as it adds a body to the midfield.

I was quite confident but with the change I am usure, Palace's game features CBs aggressively stepping out and it is something they are good at, without a 9 (no matter how little you rate either 9) you allow 2 of the 3 to come out without a threat in behind and then try to break something up/feed their very good front 3. Hopefully I am wrong and the tweak shows why we went for Amorim, it is a big call though.

 

[ThanksBoss26]

BBC 5 Live think it's Mainoo as a false 9 from the warm-ups

 

[Jazz]

Anyone having a swim at the moment? Can you share?

 

[daveskimufc]

If that's the front 3, it looks really interesting expect the 3 to move and swap throughout rather than 1 central striker that their CBS can shut down

 

[Catt]

True the nervy anxious Old Trafford as Ruben has called it.

I get anxious watching from home if we haven't won 15 minutes in

 

[sdb4884]

How many times have we been in this situation? hopefully a reversal of fortunes today. Onana in goal is disappointing. Mainoo in attack is interesting.

 

[Catt]

Amad

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

Almost an assist!

 

[kouroux]

Dalot starting very early with the idiocy

 

[GlazersHater]

It seems Mainoo is the one playing at 9

 

[sdb4884]

Crap from Dalot he should have played the ball first time.

 

[Tiber]

Wtf was Amad doing

 

[djembatheking]

Rubens squatting already.

 

[Catt]

Wtf was Amad doing

Probably thought he was attacking for a moment

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

illness in the camp, ha

 

[One Night Only]

Neither Hojlund or Zirkzee playing today. I feel sorry for Dalot, he's going to get a battering on the forum today. More so than usual.

 

[ManRant]

Whining start early.

 

[Jazz]

Amad there... oh my days....

 

[Vidyoyo]

Wtf was Amad doing

Silly passage of play. Onana should have collected because Maz had nowhere to pass and then Amad had to backtrack, though he should have passed earlier than he did
