Just a quick good luck to the mods for the first match thread under the new negativity recommendations.

I have a feeling it's going to be a busy one for you.

There's still going to be a degree of leniency in match threads but if any of you see stuff over the top just report it.

When is Bailly going to start playing, Liverpool?

 

[Android1974]

This is a 4-3-3 with Lingard on the right, probably.

18:55
The coach is 'stuck'
They should have already arrived.

18:52

No surprise if they’ve had to go through Croydon to get there. Traffic is only marginally better than central London.

Who's that Sorloth bloke and why does he sound like a cross between a Thor villain and zoloft?

Looks like it doesn't it, I had him starting tonight along with Shaw.

Any mods we should tag in particular?

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

Hope for a good performance and a win tonight. Expected team. Hope Pogba can have a good game going forward from a more advanced role.

 

[Garethw]

When is Bailly going to start playing, Liverpool?

I felt sure he’d start tonight. I don’t think he’ll start against Liverpool or Sevilla now.

Probably the FA Cup or if Lindelof/Smalling go through a period of bad form. I think Bailly will get a few minutes off the bench today.

 

[Web of Bissaka]

I assume that means we're wearing the grey tribute kit. I've grown to like that kit.

Me too. I guess we'll have to wait for a Lindelöf slip or a Smalling injury.

He's due a match winning performance, especially now he has Mctominay as his shield.

No need to tag. There's a link that says 'Report' in the red bar above each post.

 

[diplomat]

Not really happy with the team selection but it won't matter if we win. I hope for a good performance so we can continue building momentum.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Injured. Slight knock and wasn't risked.

Confirmed by jose or?

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Christ that Palace team is muck. We need to be beating that lot comfortably.

 

[RedPed]

Got 9/11. Had Rashford & Bailly to start. Gutted that Bailly ain't getting a game at the moment.

 

[Razvan]

Shaw still not starting is a bit annoying.

 

[thegregster]

Confirmed by jose or?

French tv station who cover the PL over there

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Sanchez upfront?

 

[Web of Bissaka]

When is Bailly going to start playing, Liverpool?

We don't want him to get injured again as what'd happened with Rojo. I prefer his current atm role, bench and subbed on to fortify our defense. As long as Smalling-Lindelof combo is stable and fit, we dont need to rush Bailly.

 

[Jib]

He's due a match winning performance, especially now he has Mctominay as his shield.

Yeah McTominay is the answer...WTF

 

[Jim Beam]

snitches get stitches!

 

[kidbob]

May have been covered but where is Martial?

 

[A-man]

I felt sure he’d start tonight. I don’t think he’ll start against Liverpool or Sevilla now.

Unless they go for 3 at the back against Sevilla, would be great with Baiily- Smalling -Lindelöf.

It will be tough competition soon when Jones and Rojo come back as well.

 

[Cantonaaa!]

Who's that Sorloth bloke and why does he sound like a cross between a Thor villain and zoloft?

Norwegian power

 

[Damien]

May have been covered but where is Martial?

Injured.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Have they reached the stadium yet

 

[pauldyson1uk]

HA HA too busy to pick a team today, but still got 8/11 default from the last game.

 

[kidbob]

Injured.

Cheers, for long or just a precaution?

 

[Random Task]

Yeah McTominay is the answer...WTF

You're right of course, clearly the worst player ever to represent the club. Don't know what I was thinking, thanks for setting me straight.

 

[Damien]

Cheers, for long or just a precaution?

Precaution according to French media.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

watching MUTV live , I presume live from Palace and the ground looks empty !!

 

[kidbob]

Precaution according to French media.

Sound pal!

 

[RedDevil@84]

Looks like Shaw has completely fallen out of favour. Doesn't even get a chance against Palace.

 

[Garethw]

Have they reached the stadium yet

They’ve popped into the Croydon Ikea to buy some ladders to climb over the buses that Palace are going to park on the pitch tonight.

 

[Dec9003]

Hope Martials injury isn't too bad.
However as the match goes on it looks likely Rashford will have the chance to come on for hopefully half an hour and show us all what he can do.
Lingard, Lukaku, Sanchez on paper looks good to me.
Got to be said we're gonna need an A game from Pogba creativity wise though.

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Shaw will be, at best, 2nd choice left back next season - more likely to be sold as he seeks more games due to not making the England squad for the WC.

Hopefully not. Being pessimistic ya? It's still uncertain. England's other good LB candidates is Delph for sure, Rose (not sure how his form is) and Young (playing too many games is an advantage). No one else right? Even if Shaw is playing consistently, doubt he could get ahead of Delph and Rose, usually just 2 LBs per squad.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Our player's knocks usually last longer than City player's long term injuries. I will be worried
