If Lukaku has been dropped, I hope he's not going to continue playing his hoofball because that defeats the whole purpose.

Really sick of his shit football.

it will be hoof it up to Rashford and hope he can run behind his man.

 

[Canagel]

Rashford's movement as a striker is even worse than Lukaku's. Without his movement, his lack of physical presence becomes a problem. Remember the first game against Leicester where he was a nonentity?
Sanchez should be the one playing up front if he's fit. Regardless of Sanchez or Rashford, both would be useless I'd we resort to long ball tactics.

It's the long ball tactics that cause all the problems. And Rashford should play as part of a partnership imo like he does for England with Kane. He's not going to do anything as the lone striker.

 

[Leftback99]

If anyone should be playing up front instead of Lukaku it should be Martial. Rashford's had a few chances and been terrible.

 

[Chicharo]

Lukaku dropped?

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Lukaku dropped?

According to rumours, yes.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

Leaked team news is DDG, Valencia, Lindelof, Smalling, Shaw, Pogba, Matic, Fred, Mata, Martial & Rashford.

Certainly not confirmed.

 

[red4ever 79]

This is the team I would like to see today

De Gea

Herrera Smalling Bailly Shaw
Matic
Pogba Pereira
Mata Martial Rasfhord

Not a bad team. I suppose Rashford will be striker.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Not a bad team. I suppose Rashford will be striker.

Or he could be part of a back three.

 

[Adisa]

Would be nice to have both Martial and Rashford up front if Sanchez doesn't start.

Good team. Lukaku deservingly dropped.

Today's #MUFC team news is in... #MUNEVE

 

[Damien]

Nice. 11/11. Went for the leak but stuck with my gut of Young instead of Valencia.

 

[2cents]

Very interesting. Hopefully Jose has an actual plan in mind other than using Lukaku's absence as an excuse in the aftermath of another drab performance.

 

[Adcuth]

DDG​

Young Smalling Lindelof Shaw

Matic​

Fred Pogba

Mata​

Rashford Martial​

2-1 (martial, pogba)

Smashed it

 

[FootyGirl88]

Matic should be out of the team aswell

 

[Canagel]

10/11 I had Herrera instead of Matic. Not sure how he stays in the team.

 

[AndyJ1985]

No Lukaku, thank feck for that.

 

[DRM]

Rashford or martial (depending on who's playing upfront) to have a shit game, Mourinho to publicly criticise them and say "see I told you so, this is why i can't drop lukaku"

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Yep. Lukaku finally dropped. Doubt that will change a lot, though. Need a quick start.

 

[extincti fugax hominum]

Good team. Lukaku finally dropped.

 

[el3mel]

Great, would have loved Alexis starting as well in number 9 but that's so good to be true anyway. Hopefully we try a different approach with Lukaku out.

And hopefully too he's out for good. Don't want him starting for some good time.

 

[Bubz27]

Very interesting. Hopefully Jose has an actual plan in mind other than using Lukaku's absence as an excuse in the aftermath of another drab performance.

Jose after the game.

"Now you see why Romelu plays every week."

 

[RedDevilUnited369]

It’s horrible that this was my first thought to

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Nice. 11/11. Went for the leak but stuck with my gut of Young instead of Valencia.

Fecking had Young in then took him out.

 

[Freak]

Any chance of a 442 diamond with that team?

 

[redIndianDevil]

Yesss. Lukaku is finally dropped and Fellaini is not around. Hope we can actually see some passing football for a change. Last time it happened, we had a pretty good game against Everton if I remember correctly.

 

[UncleBob]

Interesting that he benches him against Everton, might be trying to get a reaction

 

[shabz]

Hopefully we will have someone who will play on the last defender appropriately now, get in behind whenever possible.

 

[Adisa]

Matic suffers no consequences for poor performances.

Jose after the game.

"Now you see why Romelu plays every week."

We can all see it coming unfortunately, but hopefully we get a surprise today. I've always felt there's some potential in developing a Rashford-Martial partnership.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

Good team, I thought Sanchez would start rather than Mata, but the latter deserves to be in the team. At least we have options on the bench today. Glad Young is in, hopefully consigning Valencia to be a footnote.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Hope it's Martial CF. Eitherway I'm happy with this lineup.

 

[Santoryo]

Just here to check reactions to Lukaku being benched.

On another note the team better okay well and win otherwise Mourinho would just come out and say I told you so in regard to benching Lukaku

 

[Canagel]

Jose after the game.

"Now you see why Romelu plays every week."

He can't really say that even because Lukaku has been shite as well. It'll just confirm finally once and for all that he doesn't have a clue how to get the best from anyone.

 

[Drifter]

Jose really likes Matic.

 

[AndyJ1985]

Matic suffers no consequences for poor performances.

It's not as if we can drop every under performing player. Our strength in depth isn't exactly great

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Good to see Lingard and Alexis back on the bench too.

 

[Minimalist]

Think we're in a for a score draw today. Don't really have any confidence in our team anymore - no matter who takes to the field.

And usually I don't rate Everton teams at all but they're probably good enough to get a draw today if they've got a decent system.
