Let the discussion begin...

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Not confident about this. Think we’ll lose 2-1.

------------------- Obi
----- Garnacho--Zirkzee
Dorgu--Bruno- Ugarte-Mazraoui-
--- -De Ligt Maguire-Yoro
-------------------Onana

 

[fergiewherearethou]

Hard earned draw so we may end any relegation concerns.

 

[Eric_the_Red99]

Big six pointer

 

[2 man midfield]

Let’s relegate these lot and nick their striker

 

[Sanchez7]

Must win. Want to see Yoro, Eriksen, Garna in for Maz, Casemiro and Hojlund. Also, when the feck will Shaw and Mount return?

 

[Dannn411]

Simply put, its a must win. 3 points and the relegation talk will die. But I couldn't tell you with any degree of confidence whether we can even win this one.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Probably our most important remaining league game. Hopefully Spurs beat them today and we can at least hold them to a draw.

 

[Ayoba]

Oh no, oh no no no. When is the season over?

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Must win. Want to see Yoro, Eriksen, Garna in for Maz, Casemiro and Hojlund. Also, when the feck will Shaw and Mount return?

I think Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee are out for the season.

 

[Insanity]

Home game

Will we score?

Manchester United never score!

Delap will get a double and become a must buy for the summer...watch out.

 

[Red_toad]

Be good if we can get Toby back, as do not like Bruno alongside Ugarte. Think Garna comes in for Rasmus and Yoro for Mazaraoui, then Toby for Casemiro, as he was horrendously bad.

 

[DJ_21]

We can’t score at home. Expect us to struggle again here. Especially if we’re playing 5 defenders plus a DM so 6 defensive players.

 

[Redstain]

------------------- Obi
----- Garnacho--Zirkzee
Dorgu--Bruno- Ugarte-Mazraoui-
--- -De Ligt Maguire-Yoro
-------------------Onana

Agreed and Amorim needs to instruct the team to be compact, to stop playing within large distance of one another. That element of the build up is on him not the players.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

The big 6 pointer.

I’d probably start the same XI and make subs soon into the second half, maybe with the exception of Casemiro if Mainoo happened to be fit to play in the 10 role.

Garnacho is always more explosive from the bench and I think the kid needs to be protected from the shit as much as possible, so subbing off Hojlund/Zirkzee is always a better option.

You just hope there is something for the crowd to shout about early into the game so the atmosphere doesn’t drain immediately.

Personally think that's why he should start, this team only gets sparked to life by those moments that raise the atmosphere in the ground. Zirkzee and Hojlund don't provide it everything becomes very flat very quickly.

 

[bosnian_red]

Not going to happen but what I'd like to see relative to who is available:

Zirkzee
Bruno
Garnacho - Ugarte - Eriksen - Dalot
Dorgu - Yoro - De Ligt - Mazraoui
Onana
​

One of those lopsided 4-4-1-1's where Garnacho is more advanced as a left winger, and Dalot is a wide midfielder, and we have 2 normal wing backs. Toss Hojlund in the trash and have Zirkzee and Bruno as a front 2 basically.

 

[Heinzesight]

Stinks of a Chobi winner.

 

[ElDiabloRojo]

3-1 struggle

 

[McGrathsipan]

6 pointer

 

[Ceteris]

Maguire, Deligt, Casemiro cannot start at the same time.

Bench Hojlund please

Wish we had another player to bench Dalot for

 

[Cee90]

That sinking feeling where you realise that you’re not confident that Manchester United can get points at home against Ipswich Town in the Premier League.

 

[rooney2009]

Win this and end any relegation talk.
Lose/draw and this place goes into meltdown.
Let’s just attack from the beginning and not go a goal down before we start playing.
Their right wing and right back is their weak point defensively so we need to start Garna here.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

I’d agree, but it’s just not happened at Old Trafford this season.

When he starts, he plays brainlessly.

 

[Shane88]

This is do or die for Ipswich you feel. They'll throw absolutely everything at it and won't be happy with a point. We have to fecking match a team's intensity for once.

 

[Sanchez7]

Zirkzee
Bruno
Garnacho - Ugarte - Eriksen - Dalot
Dorgu - Yoro - De Ligt - Mazraoui

Yes! I would love to see this team as well. Ugarte's legs can carry Eriksen who will bring a lot more passing ability and creativity to the team and allow Bruno to play an attacking role.

 

[Von Mistelroum]

Ipswich will want this more and that'll be the difference between two equally shit sides.

 

[Ibrahimorich]

If we can't win this then I don't know what to say. We really need to start the match at the kick off rather than half time or after we concede multiple goals.

 

[Castia]

I mean we’re shit…..but are we that shit?

 

[SER19]

Have ever needed a fecking hammering win more than now. It would feel unbelievably cathartic to secure our PL future with a big win. Really silence the haters by showing that we're top 17 material

 

[Cee90]

I mean we’re shit…..but are we that shit?

Quite possibly.

 

[Red00012]

1-1 written all over it

 

[RedSky]

I'd drop Maguire after that game. He really was that bad, can't let players have games like that and not face consequences. Casemiro being dropped is a given.

--------------------- Obi

------- Garnacho - Zirkzee

-- Dorgu - Bruno - Ugarte - Dalot -

--- Mazraoui - De Ligt - Yoro

------------------- Onana

Yep, I'd go with that as well.

 

[100]

Garnacho - Zirkzee - Bruno
Dorgu - Ugarte - Casemiro - Dalot
Yoro - De Ligt - Maz
Onana

Would love to drop Dalot but can’t think of an alternative

 

[Bertie Wooster]

At home against a poor promoted side, looking like being relegated straight back to the championship, and yet our depressing record means we shouldn't be approaching the game with any degree of confidence in a good performance or positive result.

I fully expect us to play much of the game as we did today - with the Ipswich players looking far more hungry and committed. And that's just the most unacceptable thing about our performances - the tactics, the finishing, ball retension and creativity, etc, can all be rightly criticised as well of course, but the most unacceptable one is how often the opposition look far more up for it than our players. That's something that should be well within the control of the players and reflects poorly on them.

As regards selection, I've rarely got a preferred XI anymore. Whichever area we opt to prioritise, leaves us weak somewhere else. I see a few different line ups that I quite like each of them for some reasons, but they all leave us looking poor in another area. Largely that balance between addressing our limited options of pace and mobility with our also limited technical options. It's hard to try and correct one weakness without the other looking even worse than ever!

 

[Acquire Me]

I want to see Højlund come in for the last 15-25 minutes and just give it all against tired bodies.

 

[thegregster]

I mean we’re shit…..but are we that shit?

Ipswich have a better squad than us. Hopefully as underdogs we can give them a game.

 

[Red00012]

Give Obi a start and Hojlund to come in if needed
