They are backtracking a bit.

Team news leaks can feature deliberate errors
If Fred is retained with McTominay available then that would be a surprise. Team news leaks do sometimes feature deliberate errors but the inclusion of Fred prior to the confirmed XI against Newcastle was a surprise yet there he was in the starting line-up.

No surprise, as I said. People need to use common sense a bit.

Mctominay is Casemiros backup. Fred is eriksens. You can't just pick one up and put them in place of the other. Ten Hag needs players that suit the roles best, not necessarily always the best performing players if it means shoehorning them out of position. You compete with your competition, not all 11 players.

At least he gives us a chance to do something, Ronaldo would do feck all

He's a better option than Ronaldo

Not against Spurs. Rashford basically has one move, and it's null and void against a low block.

 

[Judas]

Fred shouldn't be anywhere near the team after Sunday. Positive if Ronaldo is dropped.

Can't say I've got too much confidence for this one, but hopefully I'm surprsied.

 

[bosnian_red]

Not against Spurs. Rashford basically has one move, and it's null and void against a low block.

He's a better option against every team around currently than Ronaldo is. The guy needs to retire. That's it.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

Happy days. Feel more confident with him In the team for some reason. Just think he’s got amazing vision and can pick out quality balls.

 

[Red the Bear]

We'll lose 2_1.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

Feeling confident tonight weirdly.

Think we’ll get a lucky break tonight.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Think we’ll get a lucky break tonight.

Our luck Craig Pawson will be on VAR.

 

[Strootman's Finger]

Rashford is an extremely limited player and I'd still take Ronaldo over him. Ronaldo would have put that cross away in the dying minutes against Newcastle, Rashford didn't even hit the target.

 

[red_de_pologne]

If Fred indeed starts I just lost my optimism

 

[Red00012]

If the rumours are true and Fred starts tonight I’ve a feeling it will be a difficult night

 

[DJ_21]

Who’s still doing all the leaks about the line ups? Find it a bit weird if it’s true about Ronaldo not starting against a back 5, rashford will struggle upfront against that. We need someone who can get on the end of crosses.

 

[Reapersoul20]

If Fred starts we will win

 

[Cee90]

Lads, it’s Spurs.

Fred always post a picture of his shirt in the dressing room on Instagram, which usually means he is starting.

Our defence hasn’t been too bad to be fair. 10 of those goals were in 2 matches. Other than that we’ve conceded 5 in 7 matches.

So we should drop the keeper for an extra attacker?

 

[Strelok]

Rashford is an extremely limited player and I'd still take Ronaldo over him. Ronaldo would have put that cross away in the dying minutes against Newcastle, Rashford didn't even hit the target.

I'd play Maguire over Ronaldo. Because Eriksen is not fit and we'd need McT there.

 

[sepulturite]

fail… MCT is suspended

It's been pointed out to you several times already on your previous post that he's not suspended, but yet you decided to ignore all that and say it again?

 

[Samid]

 

[Troozi]

 

[Hugh Jass]

Fred and Cassemiro in MF.

 

[bosnian_red]

Yess good lineup just what I hoped for. Hopefully Eriksen can come in and play at least 30 minutes. Was hoping for martial on the bench at least

 

[PlayerOne]

Fred. Form doesn't matter I see.

 

[LARulz]

Fred?! What the actual feck

 

[James35]

Fred, bloody hell.

 

[talking robot]

Eriksen must not be fully fit. Still curious why McTominay isnt in over Fred. I think he’d probably offer more as an 8.

 

[AdNani]

Least we won't have to see everyone trying to ram the ball down Ronaldos throat rather than the 10 other better options available

 

[Orton]

Wonder what version of Fred we will see tonight…

 

[NewYorkRed]

Don’t love that lineup but not really sure he could’ve started with a better one. We really are missing Eriksen and I never like it when Rashford’s playing up top. Lets hope we still smash them !

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

Fingers crossed. Hope Fred pulls some form out his arse.

 

[Red00012]

You didn’t see Fred playing Sunday I take it

 

[Chief123]

Ffs Fred!

At least Eriksen available on the bench. We should bring him on after 5 minutes.

 

[Chief123]

The key is to just stop Son.

 

[evil_geko]

Fred. Form doesn't matter I see.

Or maybe it does, in training, where he sees and knows much better than us.

 

[bosnian_red]

Eriksen must not be fully fit. Still curious why McTominay isnt in over Fred. I think he’d probably offer more as an 8.

Mctominay is the physical ball winner, he and Casemiro are direct competition for each other. Ten Hag needs someone better on the ball and more nimble, better going forward next to him. Eriksen the starter, and Fred is his clear backup. Can't just put on in the others role.

 

[Shark]

Eriksen on the bench at least?

 

[bosnian_red]

Fred. Form doesn't matter I see.

Player profiles and suitability to system matters more than form. Can't just shove a player who doesn't fit the position there.

 

[Chief123]

Take Kane and son out of that team and it is such a bang average team. Mid table quality.

 

[CallyRed]

Fred's been tearing it up in training
