If he can't produce a decent performance against a championship side he needs booted

oh I agree, I think he will do well tonight though.

 

[AngliaRed]

Ive seen tectonic plates move quicker than that back 4

 

[Baxquux]

Concerning at no Reguilon. Was hoping we would be able to play a LB finally.

Hoping that's Bruno deeper and McTominay more advanced. Get him in the box where he can bring his finishing qualities

I thought Reguilon was announced as available by ETH. Weird not to at least have him on the bench in that case in the place of VDB or someone...

 

[Judas]

That bench I can’t say I’m looking forward to this, but surely we can get a win even with that team?

 

[Telsim]

Lindelof - Maguire - Evans, with McTominay in front of them, and Antony. Brutal lineup. And that bench. Luckily Sheffield are even worse.

Love the optimism

I would keep Bruno upfront and McTominay deeper.
We need Bruno's creativity upfront and I fear that Bruno will lose the ball in dangerous positions if he plays deeper.

 

[PoTMS]

What's the odds Evans will be our best player?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Lindelof - Maguire - Evans, with McTominay in front of them, and Antony. Brutal lineup. And that bench. Luckily Sheffield are even worse.

Surely it is Lindelof at RB, Maguire and Evans CB then Dalot at LB. The McT and Amrabat in front of them.

 

[TheGame]

People yet again moaning about the back 4 knowing full well our first choice back 4 is injured. WTF are you people moaning about?

 

[Strelok]

Lindelof - Maguire - Evans, with McTominay in front of them, and Antony. Brutal lineup. And that bench. Luckily Sheffield are even worse.

I hope they're really that bad. Otherwise it'll be a hard watch. We probably have the slowest CB pair in the league, with a high line.

 

[Garethw]

When was the last time we won by three or more goals away from home in the league?

Exactly. It would just be a nice change haha.

 

[AFC NimbleThumb]

We’ve played 8 games & Mount is on the bench, you can’t make this shit up

 

[PoTMS]

We’ve played 8 games & Mount is on the bench, you can’t make this shit up

At least, he's realised you can't play both Mount and Bruno together.

 

[Nogho]

Lindelof - Maguire - Evans, with McTominay in front of them, and Antony. Brutal lineup. And that bench. Luckily Sheffield are even worse.

We did spend more on two of those players then the whole Blades squad combined.

 

[Dobba]

Who cares who is in the back four? Any shot that goes on target is going in with that keeper.

 

[AFC NimbleThumb]

At least he's realised you can't play both Mount and Bruno.

A few people could have told him that £55mil ago.

We needed another starting midfielder to go alongside Amrabat/Cas. It’s one game but this doesn’t bode well fresh off an international break.

 

[RedPed]

Maguire will probably be giving an 'I told you so!' interview on Monday. We'll score 3 and concede 3 tonight.

That's a decent bench though, not gonna lie. MaccyT does deserve his start to be fair.

 

[Catt]

Oi, MUFC. Just take 3 points

 

[90 + 5min]

At least, he's realised you can't play both Mount and Bruno together.

Exactly.

I'm happy McTominay is playing. I could see him playing with Fernandes just infront of Amrabat.

 

[Irwin99]

If we win and the score stays the same between Arsenal and Chelsea then we're just six points off top spot. Title challenge here we come

 

[Oldyella]

Who cares who is in the back four? Any shot that goes on target is going in with that keeper.

Surely that means you want a back 4 that will stop those shots?

 

[Shane88]

Fully expecting Sheffield to shoot on sight tonight, like Spurs did against De Gea years ago. Hoping they are as ineffective as Spurs were back then.

 

[Hester_manc]

Agains Sheffield U I would prefer Eriksen on the midfield instead of Amrabat. His technique is better and he would be better at holding on to the ball and be creative.

 

[garelo]

Lindelof - Maguire - Evans, with McTominay in front of them, and Antony. Brutal lineup. And that bench. Luckily Sheffield are even worse.

whats wrong with our bench? looks good to me.

 

[Dobba]

Surely that means you want a back 4 that will stop those shots?

We barely had one when the first choice lot were in there.

 

[Semper Fudge]

Antony. Yuck.

That's your issue? Really?

 

[lex talionis]

Who cares who is in the back four? Any shot that goes on target is going in with that keeper.

That’s my only real worry with our starting XI, the dodgy keeper. Hopefully we can keep Sheffield to taking shots from 20 yards out and further. Anything closer is serious trouble for us.

 

[Catt]

Expect SU to look like a decent to good team tonight

 

[Telsim]

whats wrong with our bench? looks good to me.

I meant that it looks better than what's starting. At least if it goes bad, we can turn it around.

 

[Pronewbie]

How bad are Sheffield? Can we sneak in a win with that line-up?

 

[hobbers]

Hideous back 5. Yikes.

We're about to make the worst team in the league look like title contenders.

 

[Natener]

So our starting LB, backup LB and the LB loaned in to cover our injured LBs have all gotten injured?

 

[Heinzesight]

Please can we score an early couple of goals and have a relaxing second half. I’m wet through by the hour mark these days.
Posts that feel sexual but aren’t

 

[Vidyoyo]

Always confident when I see VL's name on the teamsheet. 1-0 United (Hojlund)

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Madness how we only have one fit natural fullback available. These injuries really are killing us.

 

[RedIan]

Maguire has played well his last two united games and played well for england, hes in on merit as is Mctominay who completely saved us in the last game.
Plenty on the bench if it goes tits up.

 

[Jeppers7]

Teams ugly. Means we will win 4-0

 

[Telsim]

I hope they're really that bad. Otherwise it'll be a hard watch. We probably have the slowest CB pair in the league, with a high line.

They weren't exactly pulling up trees to begin with, but with so many injuries... I don't think they'd get promoted if they were in the Championship. They are terrible going forward, so even this backline should be able to deal it. I don't think we will smash them but should be smooth sailing throughout.
