I’m a confirmed Martial skeptic so I’m under no illusion about his desire to earn his paychecks, but what’s the public reason why he’s nowhere to be found?

Surgery. He is out for the season, which means he won't play for us again. Hopefully.

 

[Hoof the ball]

BBC has McT right wing.

Antony may just retire.

I wouldn't put any stock in that. Which is more likely?

A. McTominay playing RW based on the zero other occasions he's played RW, or

B. Bruno playing RW based on a huge sample size of him always playing there.

 

[United Hobbit]

How the hell do we not have a left-back playing for the reserves or youth team? It seems shocking that two injuries can leave us without an actual left-back to play a game of football with.
Surely the point of having reserve and youth team players is to maybe one day play them in the first team, if not why are they still here?

Exactly. Liverpool's kids have come in and done great. At least try.

We have so many keepers, we should try Onana for RW.

People are paying way too much attention to lineups on BBC or sky or whatever. It's obviously Bruno on the right. No chance McTominay is out there.

 

[Red00012]

I fail to see the logic of not putting a player like Harry Amass on the bench and give him the experience of matchday with the 1st team instead of having a 2 GK’s on the bench

Rashford left, Bruno false 9, Garnacho right. That’s how he set them up against City as well

Okay fair, but regardless not McTominay wide right as people are freaking out about.

 

[Adisa]

Didn’t even know we were playing today.

 

[IrishMcD]

WTF is the point of having two goalkeepers on the bench? Surely give a young outfield player match day experience and possible minutes of things are going brilliantly.

 

[RedRocket08]

It's the best 11 we can put out at the moment, but I feel like Garner and Fofana are going to have a field day with our midfield. Oh well, if we bang in a couple of early goals we'll be in it - Fingers crossed it's that version of United we see today

 

[Red Royal]

Just hoping for a performance and result to lift the doom and gloom.

 

[Superden]

WTF is the point of having two goalkeepers on the bench? Surely give a young outfield player match day experience and possible minutes of things are going brilliantly.

surely that space could have gone to Harry Amass or another fullback from the youth team / reserves, otherwise if Lindelof has bad start, theres no other option other than Arambat

 

[RedRocket08]

Also, Collyer on the bench today, interesting because I like this kid!

 

[Leftback99]

Crazy how a Hojlund injury killed the season. Misses a third PL game in a row. I think we’d have beaten Fulham, and maybe something vs City. If we drop points today it was such a devastating injury. Considering it’s meant to have been a minor muscle strain too. Shows how bad our depth is.

If our season hinged on beating Fulham at home and missing a striker with 7 goals killed any chance, I'd say it went wrong a long time before that.

 

[justsomebloke]

McT at #10. great.

 

[Catt]

This will be a long game.

 

[DRJosh]

Quality on the bench is woeful. Just symbolises how poorly run we are that no youth player could make an appearance in LB

 

[Chicharo]

You know how shit Antony is when he can't get into the starting lineup even when no other winger is available

 

[christinaa]

OMG the referee

 

[SuperiorXI]

The battle of the turds

 

[kouroux]

Another mad game, good luck chaps

 

[djembatheking]

What a messy start.

 

[Catt]

Great

 

[Marcelinho87]

Instantly fecking around with it at the back and causing ourselves issues.

 

[christinaa]

What a messy start.

Already?

 

[Catt]

That pass from Evans

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

Trying to play out from the back with players who have shown more than enough they can’t is just laughable.

 

[Agila Dathi]

Great save from Onana!

 

[Catt]

Just want some desire and decent play.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Brilliant by Onana. Brave!

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

Good goalkeeping

 

[The Corinthian]

@Invictus @Damien …you forgot Dwight McNeil too!

 

[King Eric 7]

How the feck do we keep starting games so switched off and slow?

 

[Superunknown]

Good decisive keeping by Onana.

 

[House Mkhitaryan]

Promising start

 

[thisisnottaken1]

@Invictus @Damien …you forgot Dwight McNeil too!

When on earth did he play for us?

 

[SuperiorXI]

Trying to play out from the back with players who have shown more than enough they can’t is just laughable.

All the teams seem to want to do this nowadays. I never understand why they don't just hoof it when it's clear they're in trouble. Stubborn and dangerous.

 

[Catt]

What the hell.

 

[Rapsel]

Good save again.
