10/11

Had Mikhitaryan instead of McTominay

 

[SirAnderson]

Thought Lindelof would get a chance cause I don't seem him playing any time soon again.

 

[Maradona10]

Interesting to see Jose playing Lukaku, maybe he wants lukaku to have the opportunity to score and gain back some confidence.
Very surprised to see lindelof on the bench, was sure he would begin the game, thought matic would be rested also. Think we will want to kill them in ist half and then change in the second. Think rashford might have a niggle, while 45 mins each for herrera and matic will make sure neither of them tire.

We have Pogba, zlatan, Rojo, valencia , Carrick, jones all to come in. Jose is doing a good job building a good squad, one more transfer window and i think we will be a very very good side.

 

[Cantonagotmehere]

Love watching Matic, but worried he will get worn out soon.

 

[Android1974]

So, McTominay has two starts by now, including Champions League football, and A.Pereira wouldn't get any minutes.

 

[#07]

For once I'd love to see us play 4-3-3. No confidence in our ability to control games with a two man midfield.

PS) pleased for McTominay

 

[Nikelesh Reddy]

Herrera and Mikhitaryan have both been dropped,and quite rightly so...It's a great chance for Mctominay to make a mark.....

 

[Randall Flagg]

Thought Lindelof would get a chance cause I don't seem him playing any time soon again.

Assuming we are qualified after tonight there will be two cl games and the 1/4 finals v Bristol city

These are all games that the fringe players should be starting

 

[DenisIrwin]

Strong team!

 

[Sammyjunn]

No complaints, decent line up. Hope a goal for Lukaku before it becomes a thing.

Rested, not dropped.

 

[prtk0811]

Imagine mctominay shines, all these chances would have fell to peierera had he not left.

 

[waza7111]

Herrera being rested for a man marking job against Chelsea.

 

[meamth]

Jose clearly having a dig at Pereira.

 

[Android1974]

Injuries mate

Oh, now it's a surprise players have injuries? Gosh! And one of the midfielders is 35 years old, by the way.

 

[EyeInTheSky]

eam news
Six changes for United.

Samuel Luckhurst

✔@samuelluckhurst

#mufc: De Gea, Bailly, Mata, Smalling, Lukaku, Martial, Lingard, Matic, Darmian, McTominay, Blind

6:42 PM - Oct 31, 2017

wonder if JL is playing centrally? Hope so he is far more effective there.

 

[prtk0811]

Love watching Matic, but worried he will get worn out soon.

He'll be taken off for Herrera.

 

[SATA]

Is the 18 year old goalkeeping lad playing for Benfica?

 

[Android1974]

The rationale behind Bailly starting is he needs rhythm.

 

[prtk0811]

Surprised to see Bailly and lukaku starting.

 

[JustinC00]

Herrera and Mikhitaryan have both been dropped,and quite rightly so.

Except going by your logic Jones, Valencia and Young have all been dropped too which is obviously not the case.

 

[Kag]

Oh, now it's a surprise players have injuries? Gosh! And one of the midfielders is 35 years old, by the way.

So Pereira should have hung around as sixth choice midfielder in the event three central midfielders get injured at once? And even then, get two starts to show for three months into the season.

McTominay himself isn't playing anywhere near enough football for his age, never mind Pereira.

 

[Nikelesh Reddy]

@Android1974 -Hopefully they"ve been dropped,they deserve to be....

 

[Android1974]

Surprised to see Bailly and lukaku starting.

I was expecting both. Lukaku for morale, before Chelsea.

 

[Ballache]

I like this line up, usually we play shit when I like a line up though.

 

[Sassy Colin]

10/11

Had Mikhitaryan instead of McTominay

I hate you, 8/11

Thought Smalling might get the night off as he has put in a stint recently and might be saved for Chavs.

 

[prtk0811]

I was expecting both. Lukaku for morale, before Chelsea.

I thought he'll come off the bench,

 

[Macern]

Oh, now it's a surprise players have injuries? Gosh! And one of the midfielders is 35 years old, by the way.

Would he have started two games by now if we had a close to average amount of injuries to our central midfield? Probably not.

 

[Nikelesh Reddy]

@Justin-Fair enough,"hopefully" they"ve been dropped,but realistically speaking,Herrera will definitely start against Chelsea,we don't have a choice....

 

[The Stain]

Is the 18 year old goalkeeping lad playing for Benfica?

Yeah.

McTominay himself isn't playing anywhere near enough football for his age, never mind Pereira.

Sixth?

Sure, McTominay would evolve as a player in the hipercompetive U23s competition.

 

[bosnian_red]

Non existent right wing for today then... Hopefully Martial does well again though (as he does most of the time). Would be a joke if Mkhitaryan started vs Chelsea again

 

[Ban]

Jose clearly having a dig at Pereira.

Where's the dig?


Anyway is Matic playing playing for Serbia in international week, do they have any games?

 

[prtk0811]

The rationale behind Bailly starting is he needs rhythm.

So you got 11/11?

 

[Pexbo]

5/11

 

[Devil may care]

Thought Lindelof would play and I'm surprised it's Herrera rather than Matic that has been rested, starting McTominay is also a surprise.

 

[Android1974]

Where's the dig?

Travelling Japan!

 

[settembrini]

Back 4 then

DDG
Darmian Bailly Smalling Blind
Matic McTominay
Lingard Mata Martial
Lukaku

Probably. Could be the same 3-5-2 with Lingard at wing back though. He played there in pre-season and was good. And then against Madrid in the super cup and was terrible.

 

[meamth]

Where's the dig?

Showing to the world that we are playing Mctominay. It's subtle, but hurtful .
