Manage to score with 5 players around him. What a mess.

EDIT: Someone already posted on previous page, sorry. 
 

Leaked Man U XI quoted by Manchester Evening News, no idea on original sauce:

 

De Gea, Williams, Bailly, Tuanzebe, Telles, Matic, Van de Beek, Mata, Amad, Greenwood, Elanga.

 

 

Some youth team players mixed with experience as expected. Beatable if we play like we did earlier this season.  

Wondered why we're now almost evens to win. Wish I'd stuck something on while they were 3/1. 

A bit of a silly question but if we played him every few games and brought him off the bench in most the other games would that be acceptable? For him to want to stay.

Not that I know if he does want to stay or not, he's the only guy I've thought for a long while he's too good to be a bench player.

I dare any of you b*stards to find anything positive about that sh*t show 😡

We've hopefully put Tottenham off Brendon Rogers??

There's been far more that have done well that haven't though around the last ten years though which renders the point, pointless really.

Not really, if Man City win far more games than they haven't then by your logic we should be playing them in the fa cup final.

It's a forum full of opinions, don't get so beat up kid. 😊

Yeah guys like John McGinn, Kieran Tierney and Virgil Van Dijk have really struggled to make that step up in recent years.

 

In fact I can't think of the last person that came from the SPFL to the EPL who didn't do relatively well.

I think he means there has in the past been a lot of players with lots of hype to do well when you consider at the time Gary Hooper and Jelavic were also playing great up there at one point.

Justin as a 3rd CB in a 3-4-1-2 was pure sauce at times too don't forget

This is why I wouldn't make a good manager! Love it! A potential replacement for Evans.

My issue with this is if Justin gets back to his best in January/February, it's a lot of money to spend on somebody for 6 months, it's 50/50, if Justin gets back to where he was, then one of them is benched when you feel they're to good for it, if we don't sign him, and Justin doesn't get back, we wish we got Gosens.

Could be another Ricardo and Castagne situation I'm sensing where Justin doesn't look his old self.

Can somebody clear something up for me please because it's driving me insane, even the fifa website doesn't seem to have a clue.

If Arsenal win the Europa League OR Chelsea win the champions league and they finish outside the top 4. Would it then be 5 in the champions league, 2 in the Europa and 1 in the conference?

Also, if Man City win it or man utd win it, do we still get s 5th spot in champions league or does it go to another country?

Looking on the champions league website they seem to think the extra spot will go to France and that doesn't seem correct.

As others have said, the clause has expired but there's also no need to get annoyed at the arrogance of a club expecting a player to return under such an arrangement.  I believe that the player has no choice as in Morato back to Madrid.

I know I know, I can't help myself. It's like those pundits apparently urging Man Utd to just go ahead and sign Forforna, how about urging them to put a bid in for him or enquire.

Does anybody know how long that buy back clause with Kel was? I'm sure at the time I read it as 3 years which means it's passed now.

Just some bullshit journals about Man City fans demanding to buy him back is annoying me. It's like these fans and pundits think just because a team wants our players can just get em and these players will happily leave. Ugh, so frustrating!

I think a better question would be when Justin is fit who gets the boot between him Castange and Ricardo, unless you play Barnes up front with Kel and Ricardo out right in a midfield 3.

I do get ever so nervous when a player looks this good and you just sense some team is readying a stupid bid.

I was thinking about this and you could still get a pretty solid line up. 

Pope

Tarkowski

Keane

Justin

Barnes

Maddison

Grealish

Sancho

Bellingham

Calvert Lewin

Watkins

And a lot of these who work hard to play and want to play. No more 'injuries' when we have to play lower teams.

Let's just appreciate without those teams we'll walk the league next year.

Is Maddison still drunk or what!

I'm going to have a sleepless night that he starts Chowders and he gets a red card with us 1-0 for most of the match.

Lot of over reactions in this thread, understandable after gift wrapping our rivals another win.

Exactly! He's not a child that needs to be sent to his room. If he wants to do something that's now essentially a day off, then that's up to him. He'll be fined and had his suspension, bollocking of his team mates and back for Southampton, end of thread.

On the plus side at least we could be the first English team in the Europa Conference. 

I wonder what Maddison is thinking right now.

You cant qualify for Europe without winning the cup. They changed the rule a fair few years back now.

Shows how much I pay attention. What's the rules now for the cups, it just drops down to 6th and 7th?

Any team that makes a semi final of any competition starts to dream of winning it, Southampton fans will have the same thoughts, however highly the odds are stacked. 

I think another worry is if I have this right that is, it's likely that whoever makes it to the final in our semi will get a chance in Europe and it'll be Southamptons best shot so it'll be the biggest game of the season for them.

As soon as they said Greenwood hasn't scored in so many games that he'd get one.

Baffled as to why Cags looks so much more shaky in a 3 than a 2. Somehow forgets how to pass!

I noticed that too. Maybe because there's more space for him to occupy but I do get palpitations when he's got the ball in a back 3.

Not scored in 12 months and we help. Every time there is a stupid stat like not one in 10 games or scored in this many games, they play us and sort it.
