[Cathy Ferguson]

Could we for once score the first goal? If not we will not win this one.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Any lineup leaks?

 

[AjaxCunian]

Hope we don't play 5 defenders again. It's not but in 343, but 5221 if anything.

We always look best when we are a goal behind, and we throw on attackers desperately trying to change the game.

 

[Tincanalley]

No leaks, lads and lassies… I wonder why?

 

[joedirt87]

Could we for once score the first goal? If not we will not win this one.

I think that’s only possible if we don’t give away a corner.

 

[IncyWincySpider]

Is this the third consecutive game with no leaks now? I’m taking that as such a positive sign.

 

[NYAS]

No leaks, lads and lassies… I wonder why?

I don’t think it’s Rashford. Amorim said he sends out team selections on a WhatsApp group to the players so unless Rashford has been kicked out of that group, he’d still get that info.

 

[peridigm]

We lost the first two. Bring back the leaks.

 

[Doracle]

Is this the third consecutive game with no leaks now? I’m taking that as such a positive sign.

Strong suspicion I think is that Nacho got caught and punished by being dropped from the City game. No coincidence it’s stopped since then.

Let's just score in this one, that would be a start

 

[JBG]

 

[Bastian]

I hope we're starting with de Ligt in the centre of the back three.

Yeah all seems too convenient that it's now stopped. Get rid.

 

[JBG]

 

[1988]

We seem boring when we don't play Amad on the wingback.

 

[Hammondo]

Good lineup.

 

[flameinthesun]

I think that's our strongest team with maybe De Ligt coming in for someone.

 

[bosnian_red]

Pretty much our best 11 at this point, apart from Maguire in for De Ligt. Was a strong team against Bournemouth too though. Just need to start intently and take our chances, and not make the dumb mistakes

 

[tenpoless]

Mummy im scared

 

[WouterWeghorst]

I would've like Eriksen at one of the 10 positions with Amad shifting to RWB.

Sense that i don't want to be too positive for games these days as we struggle almost weekly.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

 

[dubplate warrior]

Really not feeling that combo of Ugarte and Mainoo with Bruno in the left 10.

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

Cunha to score despite punching a staff member 2 games ago.

The blokes at the FA have gone in their Christmas holidays and we're going to pay the price for it.

 

[Bastian]

We seem boring when we don't play Amad on the wingback.

He does look good in a more natural position, which is out wide. The problem is mainly due to not having actual wing backs, but he's the only one we could consider really a fit as such in this tactic.

 

[Shark]

A lot of pressure on Hojilunds shoulders today, hopefully he delivers if the service is there.

 

[Doracle]

We seem boring when we don't play Amad on the wingback.

I do think that’s the better way for us to play currently as Dalot and Maz don’t seem natural wingbacks and it basically means we are playing 3 attackers when we play with them. Play Amad wingback and bring in Garnacho or Zirkzee and just give us a bit more attacking threat and chance of combinations on the right.

 

[George The Best]

I think that's our strongest team with maybe De Ligt coming in for someone.

I’d have him in place of Martinez. Licha has looked out of form lately

 

[RuudTom83]

The squad is missing that player that opposition will fear.

The lineup just lacks that something special.

I hope United score first today and they can relax, otherwise it’s gonna be another long match.

 

[SirAF]

Decent team, bar De Ligt not ready yet.

 

[sullydnl]

Really don't like Dalot and Mazraoui as the wingbacks in this system, but tbf to Amorim playing Amad at wingback was a lot easier before Mount got injured and Garnacho & Rashford did whatever they did to get dropped.

 

[dubplate warrior]

He does look good in a more natural position, which is out wide. The problem is mainly due to not having actual wing backs, but he's the only one we could consider really a fit as such in this tactic.

I think he is a natural 10. It's just that we don't have very good attacking wingbacks on either flank. I'd like to see Antony as a right wingback to see if they can combine well.

 

[tenpoless]

Well he's a goner then....

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

Easy 2-nil win.

Not sure for which team, though.

 

[Smores]

You don't think other teams currently fear Amad? I bet they all have instructions to deal with his dribbling and pressing right now.

Agree outside of that and maybe Hojlund it's a bit too easy to play against for defenders.

 

[TheGame]

Really don't like Dalot and Mazraoui as the wingbacks in this system, but tbf to Amorim playing Amad at wingback was a lot easier before Mount got injured and Garnacho & Rashford did whatever they did to get dropped.

Have to agree, wingbacks seem defensive rather than attacking which means we essentially have 5 defenders.

 

[Shark]

Well he's a goner then....

He was a goner as soon as he decided to do that interview.

 

[Jev]

Really don’t get why he doesn’t try out Antony as LWB, this 5-2-2-1 is killing me slowly.

 

[Bastian]

I think he is a natural 10. It's just that we don't have very good attacking wingbacks on either flank. I'd like to see Antony as a right wingback to see if they can combine well.

I'm equally frustrated with Antony as RWB as I am with him at RW. I think there may have been a match where we were already losing heavily where he came on as LWB, did he not? Theoretically, he should work better there.

 

[Redstain]

Really not feeling that combo of Ugarte and Mainoo with Bruno in the left 10.

I honestly can't stand it, Ruud proved that United's most balanced midfield is Case / Ugarte.

Mainoo for all intents and purposes is a 10, he's being shoehorned into a double pivot despite him being a striker / winger in youth games, similar trajectory to Pogba being misprofiled as a deep midfielder.

Especially considering Kobbies best moments at United and in the cup final was from advancing further up the pitch.
