We should ruin them with the team that we're putting out tonight. Hope the attackers are up for it...they should all be looking to get on the scoresheet.

 

[SirAnderson]

Present to watch the inevitable dropping of points when most of our rivals have lost or drawn.

 

[Withnail]

My complaint is we should have rested a few players against such a weak team knowing we've got so many games cramped in the next weeks.

Matic, Telles and Pogba haven't been first choice so far.

 

[jamesjimmybyrondean]

Donny should be starting. He probably won't start against Leeds also since it's a riskier game

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Oh well, many fans and pundits are very vocal and against Ole using two of Fred, McT and Matic.

"He shouldn't use two holding midfielders!" fully unaware why Ole had to use that option... all they do is always criticize

Now they get their wishes, and I'm sure they'll be the first one to criticize Ole after bad things happen in this game:
"Why did he not use two holding midfielders?! No protection to defense at all. No press-resistant nor fight in the midfield. Bad Ole."

 

[HowYouDoin]

aye, don’t understand the negative reactions here.

Matic regressed horribly since last year. He is not the same player anymore. Any time we started him this year we had massive problems. Its the reason we conceded twice vs Leipzig right away. Every time he starts we look vulnerable.

Ole is clueless.

Therefore I expect we will concede in the first 15 minutes or so.
We are however a far superior team so we will win in the 2nd half.

 

[Teja]

We have trouble against the 5-3-2 as well. I'd be happy with grinding out a win today.

Points points points points points.

 

[MUM]

Owen's summing up on Greenwood made me feel good for a change.
The future is bright lads and lassies, believe.

 

[Globule]

Do you think Ole might be playing him in the hope he has a top class performance which helps the club to negotiate a better deal with a buyer?

Does he have the luxury of doing that? His position doesn't seem secure enough that he could gamble on a disinterested player in the hope of securing a slightly bigger transfer fee for him.

 

[FrankDrebin]

I think you have to respect Sheffield United here. Their form hasn't been great but they're still a very effective side capable of putting in a top performance, especially against a big club like United where they will naturally raise their game.

Alittle respect for certain clubs on here wont go amiss.

 

[Odin]

Concede an early goal, smash three past them until 60 minutes, then take Bruno, Rashford and AWB off for the remaining 30.

 

[big rons sovereign]

They stink we should win.

Should. How many times have we said that over the years....

 

[UnofficialDevil]

Matic, Telles and Pogba haven't been first choice so far.

Oh come on.

 

[stu_1992]

Few changes which is to be expected, but we are more than strong enough to win comfortably if we want it. We cannot be complacent in this game considering the results of others recently. Henderson over De Gea is odd timing considering he just had a clean sheet against city, but perhaps he's still feeling the effects of his injury.

Haha, this will deffo happen

Fact is teams have to rotate. If there is one side you can rotate against, its this.

 

[Samid]

Michael fecking Oliver. We're fecked

 

[Spark]

Cracking line up on paper. As such, will probably all perform terribly and we'll be a goal down staring into the abyss soon enough.

 

[Random Task]

Absolutely.

And the Champions no doubt let David Moyes down.

Of course I’m tongue in cheek and yes, players have to always take blame but if it was as simple as top players should win, then managers would be utterly pointless.

Indeed.

The players can't perform to the best of their ability if stifled by an inefficient tactical setup, and a manager can't get the likes of Lingard to perform on the same level as Bruno.

The responsibility should be shared equally between the manager and the players, but that's rarely the case on this forum. if we lose tonight, Ole will be held fully responsible if we lose tonight, whereas winning will be on the players 100%.

Doesn't seem fair to me.

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Love to be proven wrong, but I believe we will definitely struggle in this game. High chance we won't win. At best is just a draw. A late comeback is also likely, medium chance happening.

Hopefully that's not true and we hammer them come on!

 

[RedTiger]

Been a long time since we played 2 Yorkshire teams in a row

Anyone watching this through the prime app on their smart tv ?

The Audio on mine is so out of sync and it only seems to be this match, the villa game was fine, fecking annoying

Me! Audio is fine

 

[Josep Dowling]

Not Michael Oliver as ref! We definitely won’t get decisions tonight.

 

[sillwuka]

Martial desperately needs a goal tonight. Come on!!

 

[HowYouDoin]

We have awesome individuals but also by far the worst manager in the league. We"lll see how this goes.
We likely concede early and then win in the 2nd half. 3:2 United.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Well, if we find ourselves in a comfortable position in this match, we will see rotation with the subs.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

fecking Owen , fecking horrible little prick.

 

[tomaldinho1]

Zero excuses here. Worst team in the league by a mile this season, should hammer them

 

[big rons sovereign]

Michael fecking Oliver. We're fecked

Oh no, not that chinless twat.

 

[ForeverRed1]

Nervous

 

[Pexbo]

There’s scraping the barrel, then there‘s Ali McCoist.

Worst manager in the PL , don't be silly , not even close.
Win tonight top 6, that is not something the worst manager in the PL does .

 

[RedTiger]

Come on united!!

 

[Inigo Montoya]

There’s scraping the barrel, then there‘s Ali McCoist.

Not sure he has a bias. Just call it, drab as he is

We were the same? Come out of Prime and go back in. It worked for us?

Here we go. You future guys, give me the good news please. 1 up in 5 mins, thanks.
