Good to see Harry back, be nice to see Mount in the pitch as well

I know he’s been injured a lot, but burying him seems a bit OTT!

 

[Plant0x84]

Wait who is that on the left?

Laurie Whitwell, athletic journo.

 

[Chicharo]

Have a strange feeling we will win, and I haven't had it before a big game for a while.
Or maybe I'm just deluded, we'll see

 

[Bertie Wooster]

Any sign / confirmation of Hojlund in the matchday squad?

I can't see Mount (or AWB) getting many minutes as they've been out so long. But Maguire and Hojlund could be starters if they're back, so was really hoping to see Rasmus was definitely in the squad.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Jammy smash and grab win will do nicely

 

[Dr Foo]

If all else fails, which it tends to do, just kick them off the park.

This. Even when we had some technically inferior players in the past, we always had that spirit and aggression from the likes of Phil Neville, Fletcher, Smith, Fortune etc. It’s the bare minimum of a club like ours. We have a chance if we outmatch Liverpool on effort and determination - they themselves are punching above their weight

Old Trafford has fallen. Commence Operation: Snap.

Cue the ETH sack thread being resurfaced after the Liverpool game

Why was it closed?

Either my phone or I seem to have a problem with on/in. Happens all the time

That midfield will get murdered

 

[CallyRed]

That midfield, mother of god

 

[Zed is not dead]

That midfield will get murdered

I mean there aren’t many other options available at the moment

 

[Siorac]

I'm ready for today's humiliation!

Should have bought a gimp suit but oh well.

 

[klayton88]

Mctomminay to leave Mainoo stranded then.

 

[pocco]

Should be putting them to the sword today looking at those line ups. Their defence is patch work. Reckon we'll get them on the counter. Should see a lot more control to our game and a good performance.

 

[AndySmith1990]

It doesn't really matter what XI starts in games like this. We'll get battered regardless

 

[Samid]

 

[Licha-Vidic]

 

[Borys]

Mount on the bench, honestly I didn't see that coming.

 

[Red Rash]

Having AWB back (meaning Dalot at LB and Lindelof in the centre) and Hojlund back makes a big difference to that team. Still if Rashford and Bruno continue their recent form and McTominay puts in another invisible performance we may get battered.

 

[Andycoleno9]

McDross is always in the team.

 

[90 + 5min]

Nothing to fear today. Just go out and do your job and this will be good. If we do that. Liverpool have been lucky lately so I don't feel inferior in any way.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Looks like Lindelof is playing CB

Genius prediction or gonna age terribly in a couple of hours. Can't wait to find out.

 

[Alemar]

Bissaka and Mount are back, Hojlund as well

 

[Dec9003]

Really glad to see Mount back, hope he is actually fit enough to come off the bench.

 

[Crimson King]

Mount on the bench, honestly I didn't see that coming.

Really? It's been heavily rumoured for days now, and was practically confirmed yesterday.

 

[cj_sparky]

I'm nervous of those players coming back in after injury, it feels inevitable that one of them goes of injured again with how our season has gone.

I hate the look of our midfield.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Hojlund is a nice surprise

 

[pocco]

Genius prediction or gonna age terribly in a couple of hours. Can't wait to find out.

That's just what should be happening based on players available to both teams.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Case injured again. In Madrid he was fit all the time but with us he has 2-3 injuries per season. Something is seriously wrong with either ETH's trainings or our medical staff

 

[Siorac]

Should be putting them to the sword today looking at those line ups. Their defence is patch work. Reckon we'll get them on the counter. Should see a lot more control to our game and a good performance.

Where do you get more control from our line-up? With McT in midfield, control is highly unlikely.

 

[Strats]

The hell happened to Casemiro?

Suspended just for the sake of it?

 

[pocco]

On a separate note, why does it seem that each player is being thrown back into the team on the exact day they are available again? Other clubs give them a game or two off the bench usually, whilst for us they're straight back in and usually get injured again.

 

[DJ Jeff]

What? They're missing Alisson and Konate and have good deputies for them although they're big losses. Trent being out just improves them defensively. The rest of their team is their first choice team. We'll do well to get a draw here.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Injured.

 

[pocco]

That's one player. If he's instructed right then he can do a job disrupting Mac Allister whilst Mainoo and Bruno run the game. We've got two full backs, a strong defence, first choice GK and a full strength attack.
