Man Utd Match Thread

[Simonb]

Fancied a draw. Absolutely dreadful line up.. gonna sh1thouse this and win 

[JimJams]

Just on the lineup, are we all assuming that Ayew is in for Vardy, Fats goes left and Buo right.

 

OR

 

Is Buo going false 9, Ayew in for Mav?

I mean, in the last game he came up with a 98th minute assist for an equaliser, but yeah....

Cant argue with that tbf .. however he is largely absence for most of the games like playing with 10.5 men so its hard to definitively argue either way really on this

Easy 3 or 4-1 to them. Faes to throw his arms in the air after conceding a goal he's clearly at fault for, Boubakary "there's a player in there" Soumare to jog about like he's just eaten four carveries, us being unable to clear the ball any meaningful distance again and again and again, Mads to stop it being a cricket score, Cooper to come out after and talk about getting "back on the grass"

 

Buzzing

Perhaps this is the issue....

[murphy]

With Ricardo and vardy likely injured what team were people expecting?  I mean there has been a mild ckamour to start soumare (careful what you wish for), that is debatable, mavs another debatable, otherwise, that's all we've got.

Not even close

Picking Soumare is such weak management. One good cameo against st 10 men and he’s given in to the clamour. Against United in the cup he was a large part of the reason we struggled so much on the transition.

What clamour? 

[when_you're_smiling]

Again - I don’t understand these fans who claim our squad is good enough to be mid-table when we have a collective meltdown because two players with a combined age of 68 are missing a game through injury.

 

We’re going to have to keep it a lot tighter than last time. I still have hope weirdly though.

Nah, I'm pretty sure u der Adams we had a back 4 of Alan Rogers, John Curtis, dabizas & Howey at one point. That alone should win

Loads of people say that on here every match day and when Vardy scores or provides an assist the same people suddenly go quiet. 

Shocking. Imo we shouldn't even be allowed to criticise this LEGEND. Really sad. 

[StevieH]

No consistency in lineup. Players playing in different positions every game. Clueless. Loss if 2-0 will be a good result.

I reckon first option.  We'll soon see. 

[Jobyfox]

Everybody slamming Cooper for this line up but, without Vardy, who do you pick?

 

I’d trust Ayew more than OE even if I don’t think he’s a starter. Justin is also the obvious replacement for Ricardo despite his current form.

 

So, the only controversial decision here is the inclusion of Soumare?

Not against the forward line if Vardy’s out. Ayew can win free kicks and get us up the pitch to relieve pressure, got a goal in him too as we know. Worry about the back four though, think we ship a few today. Worry about Soumare too, so want him to do well, but I think he’ll be puffing after 20 minutes.

Every player in our starting back 4 has a howler in them.

Plus the obligatory minimum 2 goals down JJ’s side, Ndidi giving away a rediculous free kick within range, Ayew spending most of the game in our own half looking knackered and Facundo shaking his head wondering how he’s supposed to single handedly carry any creativity within the team.

Mix of Leeds, Bradford and Liverpool. 

 

They'll all be angrier than I am when United win

 

[Fazzer 7]

That's a car crash of a team. RVN will go out in a blaze of goals.

Ok maybe on reflection I'm being a tad hyperbolic

Almost every starting back 4 in PL teams has a howler in them tbf. The issue is the midfield and the tactics.

Thing is, we have 4 howlers in our back 4

I only like three players from that lineup and one of them is only on loan 

Mads, Abdul and Facundo?

Should be playing for wolves 

[jim5000]

Thought about sticking £10 on us at 7/1, the n saw our starting lineup and thought better of it.

[adejo92]

Justin is going to get absolutely terrorised bless him.

 

Literally the only positive thing that could come from this game is

Hamza Choud'notina'hury coming on to break Bruno Fernandes legs.

We did once field a midfield consisting of Dean Hammond and Gary Taylor Fletcher. But then people's standards back then were rather lower.
