[Heart-Shaped Fox]

Wanted Rooney to play cos he's shite

Not confident now. He was our biggest weapon against this lot.

But he's a sub anyway so don't see why he needs to rest!

Martial being injured is a bonus though as he always seems to tear us apart 

[Charl91]

I doubt it's an injury.

 

I think it's more likely that Ulloa will always be on the bench (offers something different), and that the other choice of striker is Musa or Okazaki. Okazaki scored twice against Chelsea, so probably earned his place on the bench.

 

Personally, I'd rather have Okazaki and Musa on the bench, but that's a different debate.

[Howard99]

I get the impression Musa hasn't settled in with the team. Players don't tend to pass the ball to him

[hatasi]

i think musa is dangerous, but he is unlucky he doesn't score goals till now.

if he is not injured,  he should be in the bench for schlupp

[lgfualol]

No Musa or Kapustka, but Schlupp's on the bench

 

Solid starting 11. Weak bench.

[MPH]

Is Kasper injured?

He's played us three times and scored once.

[HighPeakFox]

We have to assume CR/management know better than we do, re Musa, Kapustka and Schlupp, I think.

Schlupp certainly didn't warrant a place after Chelsea but I suppose with no Chilwell he is also cover for LB

[adejo92]

I was really excited to see Kaputska play at some point however having seen Schlupp on the bench ahead of him after his circus act performance makes me wonder what we don't know about it!

Schlupp can also cover LB. Chilwell isn't on the bench. I agree to be honest but I can see why he has gone with the utility player

I agree, But Schlupp might suprise us 

[adejo92]

I can cover LB better than that idiot. How many miles away is Old trafford? Il set off now!

Not talking about his goalscoring record, the last few times we have played them he gave Simpson nightmares
