[Maurice Setters Training]

Amrabat at full back?

Hopefully inverted fullback.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Varane and Casemiro in the league cup is bold.

Why? We're obviously trying to win the game. Chelsea should try every once in a while.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Where's Eriksen?

 

[Berbasbullet]

Captain Varane!

 

[Thiagoal]

First match in a few years, sat top of the Stretford End, OMG it’s a hike but view is cracking.

I’m impressed you found a phone signal

Varane and Casemiro in the league cup is bold.

Varane needs minutes. Would have liked to see Casemiro rested but injuries galore at the moment.

 

[mav_9me]

Extremely happy to see Hannibal get back to back starts. Great reward for his goal, weekend good performance full of energy.

 

[duffer]

Don't say I didn't warn you if one of them gets hurt and missed a proper game!

 

[duffer]

Varane needs minutes. Would have liked to see Casemiro rested but injuries galore at the moment.

Fair point about Varane. You've got Donny Beek on the bench though who could've played instead of Casemiro with some jiggling around.

 

[pascell]

Has Eriksen joined the injury list?

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Still find it shocking we have Malacia, Shaw, Reguilon and Wan Bissaka all injured.

 

[Reditus]

Could it be Pellestri at right back ?

Mount right, Case + Sofiyan base , Garnacho left ?

That’s not a bad call

think you might be right

 

[Utd heap]

Well at least Bruno got a rest. I wanted a much weaker team but ETH doesn’t really believe much in rotation

He's made 7 changes??

 

[DJ_21]

Disappointing that he doesn’t change keepers.

 

[Woodzy]

Leak spot on again

 

[GMoore23]

The manager has learnt from last season and I'm glad to see the rotation regardless of result. Obviously I want to win but we have bigger targets.

Hopefully Varane comes through unscathed and Cas plays no more than an hour.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Don't say I didn't warn you if one of them gets hurt and missed a proper game!

Proper game? This is probably our best chance of silverware this season. The way we've started, I'd happily take the Carabao Cup again this season.

 

[TMDaines]

Thought Bayindir might’ve got a game

Me too as we will be relying on him in Jan.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Disappointed no Hojlund but it was expected.

 

[sullydnl]

Like the team, mostly because all of Varane, Amrabat and Mount get much needed minutes.

 

[DJ_21]

I’d like to see Amrabat play CM at some point aswell.

 

[red_de_pologne]

Bruno on the bench? First time under ETH right?

 

[Andre Kagawa]

Please put 5 past that prat Henderson

 

[Offside]

How long is Regulion injured? Ridiculous

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Still find it shocking we have Malacia, Shaw, Reguilon and Wan Bissaka all injured.

What's even more shocking is people questioning ten Hag sending Williams and Fernandez on loan, as if he could ever imagine four of his first team full backs being injured at the same team.

 

[DJ_21]

Game over for VDB if he can’t even get in a rotation team in a cup match.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

What's even more shocking is people questioning ten Hag sending Williams and Fernandez on loan, as if he could ever imagine four of his first team full backs being injured at the same team.

Bet those same people criticised the Reguilon loan deal.

 

[TheGame]

Fair point about Varane. You've got Donny Beek on the bench though who could've played instead of Casemiro with some jiggling around.

Nah he's not DM. That was the problem last year and this year we have signed someone but he is playing RB.

 

[SalfordRed18]

Please put 5 past that prat Henderson

Whys he a prat?

 

[frostbite]

We have 4 goalkeepers but we are going to use 1 all year.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Great feeling.

Sure is

 

[FerociousCorgis]

only complaint is yet another start for casemiro. Dude looking shot out there already this year and we are running him out there in our first mickey mouse cup match.

 

[Velvet Revolver]

Poor Amrabat, waited all summer to join us and now has to play LB

 

[dejans]

Disappointing that he doesn’t change keepers.

Could be something to do with keeping the spine together under this turbulent start.
Bet yeah, agreed.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

I’m impressed you found a phone signal

Full 5G

 

[always_hoping]

The bold is irrelevant.

The fact is we were flying and had even beaten City in the league. We were only 3 points behind City entering the final 3rd after our League Cup win. We already had our cup so ten Hag should have rotated in the Europa and Fa Cup in favour of the League.

Conte won it in his first season in charge as did Mourinho.

The standards here have dropped so fecking far. As far as I'm concerned, this is Man United and if you're in with a shot at the league with only 13 games left you go for it.

ten Hag cowered away from greatness, he bottled it.

Not irrelevant and you have chosen to avoid my question.

Conte took over a Chelsea group of players that won the Premier league title two years previously.

Ten Hag took of a mess of squad with a load of dead wood and signings made under previous managers that either weren't the right profile for the club or simply not good enough many of which were on ridiculous wages due to a clueless business man (Woodward) in charge of contracts.

Finishing 3rd with 75 points and winning a trophy was a decent first season under Ten Hag.

 

[90 + 5min]

Good team. We need some players to rest. Like Fernandes. Hopefully Rashford stays on bench because he needs to rest his mind. Looking forward to see Pellestri, Mejbri and Garnacho together. Happy to see Mejbri start again although lets not exaggerate Mejbri last game. Full of energy but have lot to learn. Garnacho have to start improving on his last year and Pellestri will not get to many chances to show his skills. Interesting.

 

[TMDaines]

Game over for VDB if he can’t even get in a rotation team in a cup match.

We knew that anyway as he didn’t get registered for Europe. Literally making up the numbers.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Disappointing that he doesn’t change keepers.

Yeah I can see your point , but I have always been one for, unless injuried keep the keeper in.
