    Shocked if we even get a point here. Fulham only have to show up at 60-70% to beat us.

    I just hope EtH is clever enough to recognise that current tactics/system doesn't work and try something else, but from what I've read about him from those who supposedly has more knowledge than me, he is very stubborn. So... :nervous: Nothing will change

    you’d like to think after 8 defeats the ball might drop but no, I reckon he will finally recognise it when he is sat at home with no job.
     
    No idea how he’ll lineup the midfield and attack (although attack is a strong word for what we’ve been doing)

    Defence sorts itself out I believe:

    Onana
    AWB Varane Maguire Reguilon
    _______________​

    Then midfield and attack could be anything, but I’d like see either of the below:

    Amrabat Eriksen
    Antony Bruno Rashford
    Hojlund
    _______________
    Amrabat McT
    Antony Eriksen Rashford
    Hojlund
    _______________​

    I think having too many creators in the team and not enough attacking players has been a problem. When we field Bruno, Eriksen & Mount we tend to be very pedestrian and have no clear outlet. Eriksen has easily been our most creative player and should start, ideally deeper as per last year where our best midfield was Casemiro/Eriksen/Bruno. I don’t like Bruno anywhere apart from #10 role and we have no real RW options so Antony is best suited to keeping the pitch big and sticking to that wing.

    3-1 loss.
     
    Eriksens been rested, so I fancy him to have a decent game. Rashford is also due an uptick in form so we’ll maybe get a performance from him too. Call me crazy but I actually have some hope for this one. 3-1 United and a PL first goal for Hojlund.
     
    What I hope to see:

    Onana
    Dalot - Maguire - Varane - Reguilon
    Mainoo - Casemiro
    Pellistri - Eriksen - Rashford
    Højlund
    ​

    What I expect to see:

    Onana
    Dalot - Maguire - Evans - Lindeløf
    Eriksen - Casemiro
    Antony - Bruno - Rashford
    Højlund

    ​
     
    How can you win if you can't score goals.. a own
    Goal maybe.. 12.30 ko. At least it be over early to get over the disappointment..
     
    Fulham are 14th in the PL, if they beat us by 2 clear goals they will leap frog us in the table.

    If Fulham are up for this game then there is only going to be one outcome, a win for Fulham.
     
    Is Varane fit?

    ----------------------------------Onana
    AWB-----------Varane----------------Evans---------Reguilon
    -----------------------Mainoo----------Mejbri
    Rashford-------------------Mount----------------Garnacho
    -------------------------------Hojlund

    I'd like to see Pellistri getting back into the team but I also think Rashford from the right means he's playing as a supplier not a talisman running into walls, especially if he's told the van Persie condition (find Hojlund or don't play).

    on the flip side, the player swill be sooo tired after having to get up early
     
    ..............Onana.........

    AWB.Maguire.Lindelöf.Reguilon
    ..........Casemiro.Eriksen............
    .................Bruno.....................
    Antony..............................Rashford
    ................Højlund......................

    We will lose 2-0
     
    I'll be up bright and early for the start, probably doze off by 15 minutes. Fulham are bad but so are we and it's away. Just hoping to keep it a tight 1-0 game and walk away with 3 points.
     
    Play 2 bloody DMs for a start. So pretty much if fit Cas and Arambat, then one of Bruno / eriksen / mctom / mount.
     
    Need to change something. At the moment it just screams of insanity - doing the same things over and over again and expecting a different result.

    With our defensive frailties and lack of any structure or organisation in midfield, it's probably time to try a 5212/352 and it might play to strengths of the players a little more.

    ----------------------------------Onana
    ------------Varane------Maguire----------Evans/Lindelof--------
    AWB---------------------------------------------------------------------------Reguilon
    -----------------------Casemiro----------Amrabat/McTom
    ---------------------------------------Bruno------------------------------------
    -----------------------Hojlund-------------Rashford---------------------
     
    I predict (if Casemiro out and Varane still recovering from illness):

    ................... Onana

    Bissaka - Maguire - Lindelöf - Dalot

    ....... Amrabat - McTominay (maybe Eriksen)

    .............. Fernandes

    Antony - Højlund - Rashford
     
    Where are the feckin' International matches when you need them?

    He has got to turn it around this weekend -- go run another 13 km with the players or something.

    Otherwise, I fear the worst -- because November's fixtures are a good time to bring in a new coach.
     
    Surely Rashford won’t be in the starting eleven ? I don’t think I can take any more running with the ball into dead ends or speculative 30 yard shots sailing into the upper tiers.
     
    People are calling for Rashford and Bruno to be dropped and I get it. But my god Antony is horrific, he can't start, it's like playing with 10 men. At least we know with the other 2 there's a quality hiding somewhere.

    For the love of god, this. Casemiro, Amrabat and Bruno, Mount on the right. Hopefully AWB is fit enough to start. 2 nil United.
