nnfox Posted 8 May 2021 Share Posted 8 May 2021 The only way we get anything from this is if the Utd fans get it cancelled and we are awarded the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalis Posted 8 May 2021 Share Posted 8 May 2021 (edited) With us losing last night I reckon Man Utd will have less incentive to play the big guns against us as 2nd spot os more or less done if they beat Villa so hopefully they will play more second string players against us than against Liverpool.

escape2victory Posted 8 May 2021 Share Posted 8 May 2021 Schmeichel Ricardo Fofana Soyuncu Castagne Tielemans Ndidi Perez Maddison Albrighton Iheanacho Go to a back 4 to simplify it for Fofana and Soyuncu. Have 2 experienced full backs either side. Try Ricardo in his preferred RB slot with Perez ahead and hopefully he can get some sort of rhythm back to his game. I know Iheanacho as a 9 hasn’t worked before, but he is a much more confident player now and basically Vardy at the moment isn’t offering us anything and might now be better as an impact sub 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 8 May 2021 Share Posted 8 May 2021 I just don't see us getting anything here. The heads have dropped, we've no leaders, it's a carbon copy of last season and it's bloody excruciating to watch. Again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 8 May 2021 Share Posted 8 May 2021 Like many have said, let’s just hope their fans save the day and storm the ground. Any United fans on here? Spread the word lads, spare us and rip the pitch up or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrefelderFox666 Posted 8 May 2021 Share Posted 8 May 2021 We know United will rotate. Our players simply have to turn up and put some effort in. Then we have a good chance. I feel this will define our run in. Lose and we will lose the final and finish outside Top 4. Win and we will have a spring in our step, play a good final and see Top 4 over the line. Draw and it's all still alive and in the balance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s tough one. Because the midfield and defence are largely to blame for us falling apart. Mainly the defence.... if evens is fit I’d drop Fofana. No disrespect to him and his current fasting, but should he really be starting if he hasn’t eaten or drank for most of the day? I think he’s been pretty poor for the last few games. I mean we’ve blown it, but there’s still a slim chance we can make top four, I dread to think what will happen next season if we blow it again.

I would not to certain on that, some may leave this summer if we don`t make the CL, so it may not be quite so straight forward anyway! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayday Posted 8 May 2021 Share Posted 8 May 2021 In our last 13 games including cups we have W6 D2 L5. In them games S Prague deserved to lose Arsenal- deserved to lose Burnley- very lucky to draw Brighton- very lucky to win Sheff Utd- beat a poor team Man Utd - beat a jaded team Man City- deserved to lose West Ham- deserved to lose Southampton( cup)just shaded it WBA- beat a poor side C Palace- very lucky to win Southampton- disappointing draw Newcastle- deserved to lose Looking at them games, we have only looked good in 3 of them, 2 against crap teams, Sheff Utd and WBA, the other was against a supposedly jaded Man Utd team. People can paper over the cracks but we have been poor for quite a while now, and I personally think its down the available players we have and Rodgers not picking our best available 11 players. Vardy looks lost on the LW, and his best days are behind him Castagne is best at RB, not LB or CB, it really makes us unbalanced. We are carrying passengers in Maddison and Ricardo who are just not fit and we would be better of playing Thomas to play LB, Praet or Perez in for Maddison. If true Its good the club are targeting players in the right areas, LB, RW, CF and midfield, because them places need strengthening badly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wardyfox86 Posted 8 May 2021 Share Posted 8 May 2021 Madders, Vardy and Ricardo have been completely ineffective. We really aren't in a position to play them into form. The high line that 352 needs, in order to control possession, will be suicide against the likes of Greenwood/Rashford/James/Diallo. Unfortunately, we lack the level of technical ability, vision and movement to retain possession in the opponents half. Factor in that without Barnes and Justin, we have absolutely no ball carriers left in the squad and it makes us very 1 dimensional. I really don't know what we should try, but try SOMETHING!

kristianity77 Posted 8 May 2021 Share Posted 8 May 2021 No matter what we do there is no way we are getting anything here unless our players, collectively and individually all have a huge uptick in form, determination and desire to actually see a job out for once. Thays not gonna happen. 3-0 United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 8 May 2021 Share Posted 8 May 2021 If Evans is protected for the cup, sending out an inexperienced defense against Cavani and Fernandes is asking for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 8 May 2021 Share Posted 8 May 2021 It's in Man Utds interest for Liverpool not to qualify for Champions League so please let us win We are stronger when we play the wing backs further back defensively. Ricardo at right back and Castagne at left back. Not sure how given how fuming I still am about last night but I think we will come away with a point here. If Evans is fit anyway, if he isn't we've got a big decision. For me it would be back 4 with Mendy and Ndidi sitting to protect Fofana and Soyuncu, allowing Ndidi to follow Fernandes around. Perez in for Maddison for more energy and pressing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
