JimJams Posted 7 February 2025 Posted 7 February 2025 I think Ruud will go as full strength as he can here. A lot of you are thinking of this as a bit of a free hit, try new formations, new players etc. But rightly or wrongly, Ruud will be thinking of himself here. Man Utd are currently going backwards under Amorim, their best period this season came under Ruud. Largely at our expense. His thinking will be that if he can get the better of Amorim here then if Ineos pull the plug on his appointment then Ruud might get another shot at the job, at least in the short term, either during this season or in the summer. That might be flawed thinking, or it may be pretty logical. It's certainly not outside the realms of possibility. 1
alanf0x Posted 7 February 2025 Posted 7 February 2025 Feel for Monga already, first poor touch and some will meltdown. Don’t expect too much…physically still miles off it (as you would expect from a 15 year old playing against men)

Lineker's Left Foot Posted 7 February 2025 Posted 7 February 2025 Can’t see Monga or Evans getting on tbh. Ayew and BDCR will play lots tonight 🙄

Will be a great talent, but simply a boy playing against men

It only makes sense to try new formations if the plan is to actually use them in the PL. Personally don't see the sense in just giving a different formation a go for the sake of it. Try 5 at the back if we genuinely think its something we want to do. Otherwise use the time to work on patterns of play and general play issues we need to work on. I do think its worthwhile putting academy players in as long as they fit the formation Ruud wants to play. 1

Playing the same way we have will mean we lose the game with ease this is exactly the game to be trying to find a solution to stay up. keep playing how we have and we are 100% going down just try something different ffs Edited 7 February 2025 by whoareyaaa 3

Man U do absolutely nothing, xG of about 0.001.... but score a worldie after 10 mins and a worldie after 70 mins and top it off with an easy tap in on 80. 1

We'll win this, surprise win against Arsenal at home, then a standard tight win against Brentford, and we're back on track Great Escape 2, Southgate in as manager in August after Ruud’s son embarrasses the club preseason, and Premier League title next season 1

We have a chance if the lads are up for it.
Nolucklcfc Posted 7 February 2025 Posted 7 February 2025 I’d like to see a different defensive CB partnership after Everton. There’s no way them two can play together again. 1

Side note: I explained that I'm boycotting it and Jim agreed, stating that he has to run the coaches but he has refused to buy a ticket and will be sat in the car park. He has to buy his own tickets? 🤔
Pliskin Posted 7 February 2025 Posted 7 February 2025 We will be leading 1-2 with two minutes remaining and agonisingly lose 3-2……
Leicesterpool Posted 7 February 2025 Posted 7 February 2025 (edited) Maybe this game will be like the Tottenham fa cup game of the 'great escape' season. Got little hope... Edited 7 February 2025 by Leicesterpool
