Leyqute:
Schneiderlin ke? When last did he see action? Why should he start?

Fella is tall. He could be used as a last resort of some sort- if things go way bad. Else, he should sit his ass down.

Mhiki is fit. I'm not sure if he should start though, but he'd do good if included in the game. Liverpool doesn't really have a strong defense and Mhiki is good at breaking down defenses. It's going to be a fast-paced game.

Our midfield selection is tricky. Pogba wants to be pushed upfront which relegates Mata, mhiki and longed to the right who all have some lacking playing on there.

Then who pairs Herrera in the pivot to either sit or be a b2b midfielder. Carrick has not seen much play this season, he is aged and as you said the game would be fast paced. Schneiderlin has really not played also so Mourinho needs to show us why he is the boss.

Maybe Shaw should play LB and blind pairs Herrera in the pivot to sit.

Leyqute:
LOL. You're wicked. He could be a super sub na.

I know DopeJemi doesn't like the guy one bit, I'd understand if he was the one putting the glue on Fella's seat, not you. It'd be better if Carrk starts dthough, than coming in later on because we need goals.

Don't be surprised to see Lingard starting though.


Ibra

Anthony Martial mhiki/Pogba/mata mhiki/mata

Herrera/Pogba Carrick

Back 4

Wetin fellaini wan come do for this match as super sub. Is he expected to slow the game down and control the tempo or help us in counter attack.



Don't know if mhiki is absolutely fit so that Mourinho will not make the same mistake against city.

But I think it would be Ibra, behind him should martial, pogba, and Mata.

Herrera and schneiderlin/carrick

Back four of blind, smalling, Baily and Valencia

Leyqute:
Don't mind the indignant rascals. They're so inferior they had to go look for conspiracy theories to make themselves feel good.

BTW, you think Fellaini will get to feature on Monday? He may be asked to come in later on if Mou needs goals.

I put super glue on fellaini's seat, even if Mourinho gestures him to come on he won't be able to. I am applying some on the headrest right now.

It's unfair to accuse and not come forth to prove it.

I support them sueing the US. But 1billon dollars sha, na wa ooo.

Nihilist:
I will wire you 200 pounds right now if you can bring out any of my posts today that matches what you've described up there

I think like ChristineC, you've completely misunderstood my posts.

All I did was point out the incredible consistency of these two particular men when it comes to United...

Howard Webb in particular went 4 straight seasons without awarding a Penalty in thr games he reffed vs Chelsea, and 5 straight seasons vs Arsenal.

He never went consecutive seasons without giving United at least 1 penalty. That's just remarkable. Even the weather is not so predictable.

Know your #legends

Dazall.

What percentage of these pens were not deserved?

elrony:
As this penalty matter no favour them, up next will be "Fergie's Time".

We made our wuruwuru penalties count, there are clubs that even if they gave them 50free pen in a season they will not still win the league.

They know themselves.

Boko Haram released the girls from the goodness and kindness of their heart.

At the end of the day there would be no authentic candidate for all the parties in this ondo governorship election.

It's just a shame.

The bad belle is real.

I hope our players done give birth in 9months time.

ChristineC:
every player is expected to defend in a game from front to back. I remember Loius van Gaal once played M. Fellaini and A. Herrera in offensive midfield together with Michael Carrick behind them. The play was quite good.
The same can be replicated with different players by Jose Mourinho, he can always pick players of divergent qualities for the job. For example Paul Pogba and Juan Mata in offensive midfield with Ander Herrera or Micheal Carrick or Morgan Schneiderlin behind.
The challenge is just finding the right blend and of course no midfielder is expected to be static, the modern tactic is press and attack together even if done at varying frequencies. With this system however, one of the offensive midfielders will need to defend and attack in equal measure. That will be Paul Pogba or Ander Herrera if he's played as one of the offensive mids.

I think what you just described about pogba is what he is expected to do now in the CMF that Mourinho is playing him. He has both offensive and defensive duties. And we are now hearing he prefers playing amf, the guy just does not want to be saddled with very minimal defensive duties. In juvenile he had Pirlo who sat at the base and vidal who was a workhorse so he could afford to be relieved of defensive duties.

elampiro:
What has Rooney done in proper competition? Do you know Cantona could not qualify his country?

Are we talking about cantona.how old was cantona when he retired?

And please when we are talking about Rooney stinking up the whole place we are not disregarding his exploits when he was Rooney. We are mainly talking about his recent useless miscueing assisting form that won't take him anywhere.

When elampiro gave that back pain excuse for Rooney's dismal performances, I actually thought he it was a tongue in cheek Abi na prick in pant statement. I thought he was actually joking be cause right now it should be obvious that Rooney is finished, well except in elampiro's eyes.

It is actually disgusting that someone would still try to defend Rooney with his recent form and actually conjure a back pain reason to justify the reason.

I did not see the eng/slo match but from reviews I have read I seemed the English team were as bland as we know them to be and then for some people to even suggest that Rooney's presence would have improved them is laughable to say the least.

Trying to lift Rooney because of qualifying matches means you are clutching at straws elamps, what has Rooney done in proper competitions sef. Is it by coming in to give a miscued assists here and there that you think will keep him relevant in fact those miscued attempts is even what's confirming that he is done.

He should chop bench for some time it sometimes helps to ginger a player again, maybe that's what he needs now so he should behave like he has been done a disservice or you stop whining about him not playing and hope that after chopping bench for some time it would reinvigorate him for better performance by next year.

elampiro:
His back injury probably got worse. May be he should be allowed to rest for a long time to get it heal properly.

I absofuckinlutely agree that the back ache PROBABLY got worse while he was pounding yam for Coleen.

joeace2020:
And it finally happens... Southgate drops Rooney for Slovenia match. It is over for elampiros boyfriend. He's now just a bench warmer. ticket to China please

Make una leave elampiro alone on this Rooney matter. Am sure he himself don realise say Rooney is done and dusted.

Na pride no go wan make am admit that captain Rooney will probably not even be able to break the goal record we so wish he breaks quickly so that he can finally go to China.

It will get to a point when Rooney would be brought in immediately we win a pen just so he can score to achieve breaking that record.

He is raking up his unintentional assist stats.

nowpresence:
Waiting osinbajo to do same.

That would be cold and interesting

Tinumbu don enter half chance.

El rufai has gone mad.

Meanwhile fg is still holding their leader without any trial or conviction.

After soliciting for their boys before the election he has seen it right to ban the group.

Inasmuch as I know this group has been a nuisance to society, I think this declaration is unconstitutional.

We are watching.

Cod cannot call a fraud like you.

What difference would it have made in his age if he told the truth.

So he could not even swear an age declaration affidavit to a particular age and stick to it.

Having 3 different ages is a little too much.

When Tinubu was dancing and waving a broom like a banshee screaming upandan saying "certificate or no certificate" Buhari is qualified to be president he did not know that he was being used like a condom.

Now he has been thrown into the toilet waiting to be flushed into oblivion. We all have to rally around him. SMH.

inasmuch as I agree the south need to come together it would need more than just a Tinubu to get us there. He could be the rallying point though.

We have cheated ourselves in the south for too long because the north will always support there own regardless of qualification while in the south we find everything to disqualify the next person which is not a bad thing because the most qualified and best should be able to get what they deserve. This then puts us in the disadvantage because one side has a warped sense of progress.

Pidggin:
It must be Elephant grass

Hahaha this is so funny!

SIRcumalot:
GOD dey punish city.

The intensity wey spurs dey take play the game no be here.

Seems the city players are wondering what is happening.

Oasis007:
We are simply unlucky!

Agreed.

nyabinghi:
Real fans wishing a team member fail. The same guy comes in and they score a goal. No four first half awoof again.

Same guy comes in and we concede.

The cheap goal I talked about.

dopeJemi:
Pass fire, he don lose the ball already na, na the defender kick the ball

Chai I just see the replay. The question is

How many miscued assist can he get for us with his back pain.

GBR1:
Another Rooney assist

Haters would say it's another fluke

Na back pain cause am.

dopeJemi:
See rooney, big foooool

I think say na Rooney pass the ball ooo

Martial is back.

Good goal.

MrTA:
We lack ruthlessness which will be our undoing. We miss too many chances and if zlatan continues to do this too he might need some bench time.

Bench zlatan and bring who, Rooney?

He clearly wanted to deceive the keeper but Grant was sharp. He is lively and has played well. We need a little luck to wrap this game up.

Let's just hope stoke don't go score a cheap goal.

Be like say pogba leg too long like squid own. He takes time to sort them out quickly.

dopeJemi:
Herrera, you too sabi ball

He has been playing rubbish since from the dressing room Na.

This stoke keeper dey craze oo

Na today him no say he wan show say him get correct reflex

We suppose dey 3goals up now.

Hope the misses no go come hunt us.
