The redemption argument doesn't even hold. We are playing against a weak betis side of course they should win. So should our second team

Are Betis that weak though? And our second team are pretty average

 

[Rayman96]

If I was a player that played in the 7-0 pumping, I’d be ridiculously fired up for tonight. I’d have a kind of ‘THIS is what I can do’ attitude and would absolutely go for it. I’d want the fans on side. I’d want to pump Betis.

Me too, then I would look up and see the snow and think Feck this its freezing, Im going up the road

 

[altodevil]

Looks cold

 

[hobbers]

Nobody was actually being serious when they said these conditions werent suitable were they?

 

[Rightnr]

So Casemiro can miss the return leg if he's booked?

 

[mancan92]

When we win I am going to take great pleasure in tell all those that moaned at the same team playing, to go feck themselves

Umm of course they should win against a 50year old betis team

 

[Sassy Colin]

Surprised they're playing this.
Howling gales mean possibility of objects blowing around or over and injuring someone.
One of our matches was called off a couple of years ago on police advice

Seriously

 

[MUFC OK]

Ir's clear you're a fan of EtH

I am, but he can’t be immune to criticism like some seem to pretend. Starting the same XI is baffling to me, but it’s just my opinion.

 

[mancan92]

Are Betis that weak though? And our second team are pretty average

They are playing a 40 year old joaquin they are weak

 

[Licha-Vidic]

This game as all the recipe of falling off the cliff spectacularly with a bonus of Casemiro getting a yellow then missing the return leg in Spain.

 

[Rightnr]

Erik ten Hat

 

[Catt]

They are playing a 40 year old joaquin they are weak

Ok

 

[Shakesy]

What’s this last Sunday thing you’re all referencing? Did we play on Sunday? I must have missed it, I went out for a very long walk with my dog and had a lovely day, didn’t everyone else do something nice due to us not playing?

I can't seem to recall what I did on Sunday... It's just blank. Pretty creepy feeling, but I'm sure it's all for the best.

Danger Danger

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Oh look, Bruno bitching moaning before the game even started!!

 

[kouroux]

Joaquin brings back so many memories of early 2000s football. He was a proper RW

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Umm of course they should win against a 50year old betis team

I know that but some on here dont, some on here are really annoying TBH.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Yet another Spanish team. One obvious tactic will be to roll on the floor for everything and then take the game to Spain.

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Ahh, love the optimism buddy!

 

[Anustart89]

EtH wearing a hat. Can't he fecking stand the Manchester weather? Get him out of our club!

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Come on United!!

 

[Sassy Colin]

Vidic would have played this in short sleeves.

 

[AdNani]

Sir Alex didn't kick Rashford though.

he didn't kick beckham either, the boot did

 

[Hoof the ball]

Betis!

Who remembers Oli, Denilson, Jarni, Alfonso, etc?

 

[rimaldo]

They are playing a 40 year old joaquin they are weak

yeah. we shouldn’t be losing to a team that includes a starter that still remembers rationing.

 

[pratyush_utd]

Weghorst playing centrally.

 

[Brwned]

Anyone defending the same eleven is blindly in love with ETH, no two ways about it.

Even if you make a point about having the same XI redeeming themselves(even though I am not sure how beating Betis would redeem 7-0 against Liverpool?), it's still the same players who have played ridiculous amount of games and some of them need a fecking rest. His managing of the squad should be questionable at this point, because players don't feel fresh, and yet he is insisting on same eleven.

And if Weghorst starts as number ten, there is absolutely no way to defend the selection. In that case people would basically agree that he is better player than Sancho.

Edit: just for bit of comparision, this is how SAF did it:

https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/5...er-League-2011-2012-Everton-Manchester-United

5 changes, and few of players that started the game disappear for few weeks/months.

So if we were to win this convincingly, it would still be the wrong decision on principle?

 

[BarstoolProphet]

It's a typical match condition in July in Norway

 

[pauldyson1uk]

[rimaldo]

Erik ten Hat

pellegrini already winning the mental battle, erik trying to hide his baldness compared to manuel’s thick head of hair.

 

[Dansk]

Don't mind him picking the same team. It's up to the players to put Sunday behind them tonight and prove their mentality. Good players will do that, if they can't it tells ETH a lot.

Have to wonder what the players who weren't selected are thinking. Their positional competitors put on a historically terrible performance and turned the club into a global laughing stock by losing seven nil to the arch-rivals in a show of utter abject incompetence, and it didn't affect their position in the team. If I was someone benched today, I'd hand in a transfer request on the spot. Seriously.

 

[PoTMS]

Put your mortgage on Casemiro being booked today.

 

[Amar__]

In long term, probably.

We could have won it with the likes of Sancho, Malacia, AWB, Lindelof, instead of worst performers from last game.

 

[hobbers]

Weghorst up front and Rashford on the left.

At least for now. Phew.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Put your mortgage on Casemiro being booked today.

Then we better get a 5-0 win so that the return leg is not a problem

 

[Jazz]

The weather is shit. The lads need a win tonight.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

4 minutes gone, we did not score 5 goals.
Sack, sell.

 

[Rayman96]

Oh look, Bruno bitching moaning before the game even started!!

He has never seen snow before

 

[Gandalf]

Have to imagine we will rotate a bit for Southampton, leaving aside all of the other considerations a whole bunch of the current starting XI look like they are running on fumes.

 

[48 hours]

Well offside
