[Mr C]

Battering, I think 4 0 and Jose will still keep his job

I can see us scoring three, but four's a bit of a stretch Mr C. Still, I like your optimism.

 

[Mr C]

haha

you never know with this side to honest, but we are so weak at the back I don't know how we're going to find the time and space to attack.

 

[IDFD]

1-0 United. Back to the walls. Lionel with a screamer. People on here will be annoyed we’ve won and disgusted with the performance.

 

[Mr C]

if we score it will probably be direct from De Gea

 

[Red Warrior]

I think they have defensive injuries, Lovren is tipped to play and Trent A is probably out. If Marcus and Jesse can get into them we have a chance of a goal, Lukaku can just wonder round with his dunce cap on.

You just never know with this Utd team, I wouldn't put it past them to win by nicking a goal or losing by 3. That's how unpredictable they are.

I think Jose will play:

De Gea
Valencia Bailly Jones Young
Herrera Matic Fallaini
Lingard Donkey Rash

 

[jsp]

That team is probably bang on if Shaw or Smalling are fit expect them to come in for Jones & Valencia but apparently neither have trained up to yesterday so can’t see them being put in unless we have injuries.

If we play that system Fellaini needs to stay up close to Lukaku the only was I can see them getting a result is unsettling that defence as they’ll be making changes.

 

[RichH2016]

We won't go on the attack. We will sit and probably be killed by the passing. The scoreline will likely be fairly close but it'll be a one sided game for the most part.

 

[IDFD]

For some reason I’ve woken up in a positive mindset about this game. Think we’ll do them today. 2-1

 

[IDFD]

Lindelof back.

De Gea

Dalot Smalling Lindelof Darmian Young

Herrera Matic Lingard

Rashford Lukaku

In what I assume is a 5-3-2 with Darmian at CB

 

[IDFD]

Smalling now out the side

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Dalot playing as a right midfielder/winger?

 

[Sideshow Bob]

I’m surprised United lasted 24 minutes before conceding.

 

[IDFD]

That’s a great pass

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Ha ha ha!

 

[IDFD]

Needed that gift

 

[Berba_God]

Let’s hope we get some gifts

 

[Berba_God]

More gifts

 

[SuperRash]

Must be Christmas.

 

[SuperRash]

A good first touch is the basic for every footballer, how Lukaku is so bad baffles me.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Fellaini on for Dalot at half time.

 

[IDFD]

Leave someone up the pitch ffs

 

[SuperRash]

Got to be Martial for Lukaku soon surely.

 

[SuperRash]

2-1 Pool. It was coming.

Our lack of threat is so tiring.

 

[IDFD]

Well that’s that.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

3-1. That’s that.

 

[IDFD]

Close the thread now. Haha

 

[Red Warrior]

Did Jose or anyone on the pitch not notice their right back at all? No didn't think so

 

[Sideshow Bob]

 

[RichH2016]

34 attempts to 6!!! The lack of attacking intent is just ridiculous. I get we were playing the top side in the league today but this is every week.

 

[IDFD]

Our lack of attacking play is very disappointing but 20 of those shots were from 40 yards

Oh for sure but a team who set up so defensively and still concede 3 and 34 shots at goal... I mean it's the kind of thing you expect from a relegation battling team.

 

[IDFD]

It was pathetic. I’d love to see Lukaku’s heat map. I’d guess it was mainly in our half

I mean... Why and how does he keep getting back in?
