Even with the squad selected? Bit harsh given age/experience.

Yeah, that is a ridiculous comment from mitchmouse.

"If we win it will be a disgrace because people will say we've turned a corner. If we lose it will be a disgrace because we lost to Astana"

This kind of nonsense is spouted in every match day thread. Wish the mods followed up on the ‘dealing with excessive negativity' stuff they promised a while back.

 

[FrankDrebin]

United could put out their u12's and people would still expect us to compete with experienced professionals.

Anyho,looking forward to the match.

 

[red_de_pologne]

3 hours until squad submission and still not everyone available for submissions, ruins the lineup prediction game

 

[The Man Himself]

@Damien , so today's match is going to be excluded from lineup prediction competition?

Niall said he was going to add the players this morning. There's nothing I can do as don't have access to the matchday frontend anymore.

Oh OK.

Pretty sure it'll still be around freezing. In the past Astana have left it cold on purpose to benefit them. Would imagine they do it again tomorrow.


Would be pretty surprised if United get anything from the game. It's a huge step up for the kids in terms of physicality. Astro pitch isn't great either, watched Gomes, Greenwood and Chong really struggle on YB's pitch last year in UYL as well. Will be interesting to see how they get on, good experience for them either way.

I read it's expected to be around 15C in the stadium. You'd have thought that many people within a closed roof stadium would heat it with body heat alone!

I imagine we'll play shite, scrape a win and be told we've turned a corner (the fact that it leads down a dead-end will be passed over). Going for us to win 1-0. Frankly, even though it's a dead rubber, if we lose it would be a disgrace (on top o many of those so far this season)

What are you talking about?! It's effectively an U21 game.

 

[Offside]

Further east than Karachi. Mental.

 

[Niall]

Ok all the youngens in the squad for this match are now available to select in the Lineup Prediction game.

 

[Class of 63]

Cheers @Niall, I can go and get some beauty sleep now

 

[Samid]

How many Ethans do we have

 

[pauldyson1uk]

is anybody else having problems, picked 11 plus subs and it just says pick 11 players, not letting me submit team.

 

[Class of 63]

How many Ethans do we have

Four, only two in the squad

 

[OldPop]

is anybody else having problems, picked 11 plus subs and it just says pick 11 players, not letting me submit team.

Yes, same problem

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Four, only two in the squad

Galraith has the rocket shot right?

 

[Havak]

Grant
Laird Tuanzebe Bernard Shaw
Garner Levitt
Gomes
Lingard Greenwood Chong
---
Subs: Ramazani, Galbraith, Taylor

If you've done what you normally do it will have saved.

Should say Thank you for your lineup prediction and good luck! on the right when you leave the prediction page and go to the matchday thread

 

[Class of 63]

I'd say Ethan Hamilton(on loan @ Southend)is the one with the rocket shot if any, but Galbraith has smashed a few in from range, one only recently

Hear! Hear!

Every thread seems to be polluted with some Ole Out agenda. Its fecking tiring. There are enough threads they can wank themselves to death with their agenda.

This is a special match day thread -- basically we should be excited about the kids playing and yet these cnuts can't wait to pollute it with their personal projections.

Try to be happy for others (ie the kids) for a change you, miserable gits.

 

[roseguy64]

Jesse Lingard is today's Manchester United captain.

Damn.

Is it really that shocking that he would be considering who's in the squad?

 

[Class of 63]

Cheers , it does say Thanks You for your prediction.

No probs, I was the same at the weekend even after I saw Thank you for your lineup prediction and good luck!

 

[Class of 63]

Axel was Captain against Rochdale with several senior players in the team, thought it was his hometown team.

 

[Paul the Wolf]

Line up prediction not working properly. Picked a scratch team before the new ones added - now have 11 starters and being asked to add 11 more starters and subs are not recognised
Redid it and had to pick 12 starters to register the team but now find it's gone back to the original pick and not registering the subs. Hope it's sorted before it's too late.

I'm having the same issue. Just keeps bouncing back and telling me to pick 11 more players and not recognising the ones I’ve selected already.

 

[R'hllor]

Just watched Ole`s press conference, rather late, didnt know that United stand was allowed in, can imagine those "journalists" boiling inside about whole fan channels etc.

We've literally sent a different team than the one that normally plays the games for us. This is a training match for our youngsters.

Also, you are hereby forbidden from being happy when we win in the league again if this i the sort of upbeat go-get'em spirit you're going to muster the rest of the season.

 

[Tom Cato]

Those fan channels often have more listeners and viewers than the journos themselves. I think it makes perfect sense that they are allowed in, as long as the content they produce is factual and the discussions on the show productive. It's a new media world. But that's just my opinion, I'm sure a lot of people disagree.

 

[Tom Cato]

Is it really that shocking that he would be considering who's in the squad?

Would be a pretty big slight if he wasn't, as you point out, conidering who's in the squad.

I hope Lingard realises the gravity of his situation with him traveling to this game with the kids. Along with Phil Jones he's well on his way to play himself out of the team permanently if he keeps this up.

 

[sglowrider]

I hope Max gets a minute or two if we can afford it. I just saw a wonderful interview with Joe Thompson and Max earlier on MUTV.

 

[downunder red]

Really looking forward to this game. I think the kids will be told to go out and enjoy themselves.

 

[Leftback99]

Same for me.

 

[Forevergiggs1]

I picked 11 starters and it says pick 1 more. I know we're playing with kids but isn't that cheating?

 

[red4ever 79]

Same for me.

Same for me. Has this been fixed? Has my prediction been accepted @Damien

 

[Rozay]

Ole!!!!

You could also remove the likes of Olosunde and Hamilton who haven’t been at the club for a while please.

 

[KennyBurner]

Hope we field a strong squad. It’s thanksgiving and I would like to watch a stress free game while devouring my roasted turkey.
