urban fox Posted 13 September 2019 Share Posted 13 September 2019 (edited) Really fancy this one now that Pogba and Martial are ruled out. Always saw them as the main danger. Evans/Caglar will have Rashford in their pockets, and the stage is set for Youri and Madders to boss the midfield and control the game unless we go 2 CDm and madders left out wide left again. We really should play the same side as against Bournemouth and go for it. I can see Maddsion being really up for this with a point to prove after being left on the bench for England Show them we mean business this season. 0-2 Vardy and Maddison Edited 13 September 2019 by urban fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raw Dykes Posted 13 September 2019 Share Posted 13 September 2019 I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but I can't help thinking we've got a good chance of a result tomorrow. I'd absolutely love a win since we've not had one there for 21 years. It's the worst Man Utd side for a long time, and they have important players out injured. If ever there was a time to win at Old Trafford, it's now. I'd expect our midfield to enjoy this one, and Vardy could have a field day against Maguire. 2-3 Vardy, Evans, Praet.

Harry96 Posted 13 September 2019 Share Posted 13 September 2019 Wow pogba out for them is massive. Martial too who I don’t rate that highly still a big miss. Won’t have a better chance of beating them at old Trafford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Leeds Fox Posted 13 September 2019 Share Posted 13 September 2019 Their midfield without pogba is very poor. Maddison, tielemans and ndidi in the centre will be more than enough with maddison moving out wide and praet on if we are leading to shore it up. Same team as last time, keep james quiet and we have a very good chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboFox Posted 13 September 2019 Share Posted 13 September 2019 Their squad looks very thin even without the absence of three key players. No Pogba is a huge boost to us, and we should feel very confident about getting something from this. There's such potential for Vardy to make Maguire look silly too, I'm really rather giddy with excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ealingfox Posted 13 September 2019 Share Posted 13 September 2019 Even with the absences we are still up against it given our tendency to be obliging at these grounds. They're set up for counter attacking these days and still have plenty of pace going forward so we should be wary about going too gung-ho early doors.

TJB-fox Posted 13 September 2019 Share Posted 13 September 2019 Absolutely buzzing for this one, just hope we’re not all getting ahead of ourselves. I know people do rate us, but I want us to go and lay out a marker and show the league just how good our squad really is. Come on city 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigstonWanderer Posted 13 September 2019 Share Posted 13 September 2019 1 hour ago, goose2010 said: POGBA, MARTIAL AND SHAW MISSING FOR UTD Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial and Luke Shaw have all been ruled out of tomorrow's game against Leicester at Old Trafford. Diogo Dalot will also miss the match, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jesse Lingard are doubts. "Pogba won't be fit unless he's had a miraculous recovery overnight. He's not been ready to train at 100 per cent," Solskjaer said. I was confident before I heard their team news, now we a huge opportunity to really make a claim early on in the season.

FoxyJim1987 Posted 13 September 2019 Share Posted 13 September 2019 I'm sorry but full strength man United are shite so man United without their best player Pogba, and 2 other first teamers Shaw and Martial makes them uber shite. I wouldn't swap one of their players for ours. We can only be beaten tomorrow by the occasion, ourselves, or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the first game of last season when Mourinho claimed his world cup stars wouldn't play but they all lined up anyway! But even if he does play, he's just one player. The current Manchester United team just looks so weak overall. They beat us twice last season but both games were under Puel and we were decent in both. We are in good form and many players in the team had a good game last time round. I for one am very positive! Really looking forward to watching the game as this has to be our best chance in years to do them over at Old Trafford. If Maddison and Tielemans are on it, we will dominate the game and with Vardy hitting the back of the net in the last two games, we should be able to finish our chances too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 13 September 2019 Share Posted 13 September 2019 Boys, we could potentially be seeing this in front of us tomorrow. De Gea Young Lindelof Maguire Rojo Matic McTominay Pereira Mata Rashford James This isn't a "if we win this, we're on the right path" sort of game anymore, it's a "if we don't win this, it's disappointing really". Only player I could see scoring in that team is James on form, and he has to deal with Ricardo. Rashford was an awful striker vs Southampton and don't see why that shouldn't continue on. Their midfield is awful. Their fullbacks are shocking. Schmeichel Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Chilwell Tielemans Ndidi Maddison Perez Vardy Barnes Will ruin them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the difference here is that Solskjaer specifically stated that Pogba hasn't even been training properly. So less chance of a cheeky bait and switch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fazzyfox Posted 13 September 2019 Share Posted 13 September 2019 James is looking lively for them and one or two of their youngsters who contributed to the Paris win may see this as an opportunity to step up again, but really, the way we'e looking and the fact that their side could well be a combination that's never played together before, they are there for the taking. Great effort from us but 2-2 with a Soljsky-time penalty equaliser. Tielemans and co should be looking to play Vardy in through an inside right channel, I hear their left sided centre half goes AWOL at times and lacks a bit of pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
