    So fitness wise, questionable are:
    • Varane
    • Amrabat
    • Casemiro
    • Mainoo
    • Reguillon?
    • Hojlund if anything from that San Marino game (maybe worth just resting him for this one)
    Out are:
    • Malacia
    • Shaw
    • Wan Bissaka
    • Amad
    • Martinez
    So I'm gonna assume Mainoo is fine for bench, reguillon fine for start given no options, and that Hojlund just gets rested for the next 2 games. Maybe we see something like this. Eriksen and McTominay duo as we need a physical player if no case or amrabat, and in that case Eriksen at least can be useful in possession next to McTominay for deep buildup while Mount can't really do that role.

    Onana
    Dalot Maguire Lindelof Reguilon
    McTominay Eriksen
    Antony Bruno Rashford
    Martial
    Edit: never mind seems amrabat and casemiro are both fine. Toss them both in here then. Or just amrabat and give Case a rest before City, but put Mount next to Amrabat
    Where did you see Amrabat is fine?
     
    Depends who’s fit after they all get back. Maybe better to play more of the ones who have been at Carrington (Hannibal, Martial etc.)

    Also the CL game on Tuesday is now like a bloody final after 2 defeats.
     
    Those saying easy win, when have we had a comfortable easy win in recent times???

    i see one goal in this, either scrappy 1-0 win or 2-1 win. Altho i hate this team this is what i think he will go with

    onana

    dalot maguire lindelof reguilon

    mct amrabat
    bruno

    anthony hojlund rashford

    subs- mount, mjebri,evans, martial, DVB,Bayandir, Garnacho
     
    Onana
    Dalot Lindelof Maguire Reguillon
    Amrabat Eriksen
    Antony Bruno Rashford
    Hojlund​

    would be my prediction for the game assuming those players are fit enough.

    edit: actually forgot we had Mount, so Erik will go with that 3 man midfield again of Arambat, Mount, and Bruno and then change it around the 55-60 minute mark with Eriksen on for Mount.
     
    My bad guys. I’ve not been watching as intently as usual to be honest. The ownership thing is a pure drag now too. Sigh. Anyway hopefully the manager can turn it around. I genuinely prefer him to any of the current players. He just needs owners who actually want to win.

    I can see this match being a slog. If we don’t score early they’ll get stuck into us and then who knows.
     
    Looks like Varane could start?

    I hope Casemiro is healthy ASAP, but a couple weeks off with a minor thing might be a good total body rest for him.
     
    The whole ownership stuff took the joy from football from me, I'll probably watch the game as always but its hard to be excited about anything regarding this club really.
     
    Maybe time to clean up the squad a little? We have Bailly, Mengi, Fernandez and Williams all available for selection.
     
    Most likely we'll see

    Onana
    Dalot, Maguire, Varane, Reguilon
    Amrabat
    Mount, Bruno
    Antony, Højlund, Rashford

    We need the best possible team to play together as much as possible. Onana wont bre dropped, Dalot and Reguilon are only backs available. In center back he would chose between Maguire and Lindelof but given Magures good performance lately he might get the chance. In midfield, Bruno and Mount might continue to play together, especially against Sheffield and FCK they should be able to get more playing experience togehter without having too much of a pressure on them (Can though also see Eriksen start instead of Mount). Antony is definitely going to start, with him not being on international leave and needing game time. Only doubt is Højlund, I could see ETH using Martial as he was working with him all week and also might give Højlund a rest in an "easy" game.

    prediction: 1-4 hojlund hat trick, Mount

    Actually it’s a good point. All these players have left the club, why are they present in line up selection?
     
    how I think ETH will line up

    Oh-nah-nah
    Dalot Varane Lindelof Regulion
    Amrabat
    Mount Bruno
    Antony Hojlund Rashford
    Preferred line up (with Copenhagen in mind):

    Onana
    Dalot Varane Maguire Reguilon
    Hannibal McTominay
    Bruno
    Mount Hojlund Garnacho​
     
    Hate to say it but I think our squad will make Sheffield look like a UCL away fixture.

    Expecting a 1-1 draw (we can't buy a clean sheet) or a very scrappy and ugly 2-1 win.
     
    —————Onana—————
    Dalot—Varane-Maguire-Regulion
    —————Amrabat—————-
    ———-Bruno——Mount——
    Antony——————-Rashford
    —————Hojland—————
     
    ...................Onana.........

    Dalot.Lindelöf.Maguire.Regulion

    ..........McT..........Eriksen............
    ..................Bruno.......................
    Antony...............................Rashford
    .................Højlund....................

    It will end in a draw, 1-1.
     
    McTominay was our super sub, does he lose his place now?
    From the bench? No, why would he?

    I don't know why people are putting McT in the starting eleven, especially in the double pivot role. He didn't even play there when he was brought on.
     
    Just a fecking win please with so resemblance of game management.
     
    Onana
    Dalot Varane Lindelof Regulion
    Amrabat Erikson
    Bruno
    Mount Hojlund Rashford
    I tend to this this should be a game that we would benefit from starting Erikson, we should be controlling the game not chasing it.

    Casemiro is out, and Amrabat had a minor injury and may therefore start on the bench. Besides that McT showed an attitude against Brentford that ETH lacks in his team.
     
    Onana
    Dalot Lindelof Maguire Reguillon
    Amrabat Bruno
    Antony Mctominay Rashford
    Martial​

    Would do this. Need McTom for some height/aerial ability in that front 6, tiny team otherwise. Hojlund, Eriksen, Mount, Garnacho to come in vs Copenhagen. Casemiro and Hojlund to come in vs City. Varane... Meh. The centerbacks whichever 2 can find form together.
