Ben White, Ben Godfrey, Greenwood, Lingard, Saka, Ward Prowse, Watkins, Jude Bellingham (If Hendo is fit), Ramsdale and James are the likely ones to miss out.

If it was up to me, Sterling, DCL, TAA won't make the squad...

It's only you that's in your world...I have had discussions here and arguments with others only when it's worth it and not for the sake of it...

Leyqute:
LooL. The butterfly thinks itself a bird.

I see everything in black and white. I am incapable of holding 2 logical thoughts in my head at a time. And I can’t make the any sensible inference from any fact.

And instead of me to shut up, read and learn, I'm spamming everywhere with my confusion. It would’ve been better if I’d not spoken at all, for a fool, when silent, is presumed to be wise.

Leyqute:
On the sidelines as usual. Nothing to offer, nothing to contribute. Just vibes and insha allah.

Expert in confusion.

patrickmuf:
Okay.

patrickmuf:
How exactly you guys want players who hardly play to look great after several games on the bench is beyond me...If you have ever played football, you'd know that training and friendly games is quite different from competitive soccer where the challenge is different...

Tuanzebe put up the best defensive performance of any Manchester United defender against Mbappe and Neymar and after that, what next, he returned to the bench. How do you gain momentum when the coach doesn't play you often? Lindelof will have a bad game yet Ole will still pick Jim for the next one.

If Ole allows for fair competition I'm quite sure Bailly and even Tuanzebe will push Lindelof to the limits for a place in the team...

Oasis007:


Don't mind Expert..... thank God he's not a Manager. Matic to him is our best Midfielder. Henderson to him is better than DDG - Henderson that has never had a complete Season as United No. 1.

elampiro:
If you finished 6th with such a defensive record, it means everyone was being played behind the ball (bus parking)

Injury is his problem, if he had stayed fit from time, he would be one of the best in the league. From the time of SAF, he and Smalling showed good pairing. Remember their introduction when we beat City in the Shield under SAF

elampiro:

Baily has mainly features in one season so far and we finished 6th. He manged 24 games in 2016/2017

KingAlabi:
I am a waste of time .

KingAlabi:
Your opinion doesn't matter you know right?

KingTom:
I see what you did there

KingAlabi:
I can only think of you hearing those words, tough.

Leyqute:
Seems like you’re the confused one.

I didn’t bother to fact-check you before indulging you.

The season Bailly featured prominently for United we finished 6th- 16/17. The next season when we finished second (17/18) he was mostly injured.

You used your confusion to confuse me. My bad.

Leyqute:
I first thought to ignore this post but on second thought, let me address it.

1. That season we finished with the best defensive record, was it down to Bailly’s heroics or the low block everybody-behind-the-ball defensive system Mourinho deployed?

2. Which player contributed the most to that defensive record? De Gea? Bailly? Smalling? Jones? Rojo? Is Bailly>> Smalling in that system?

3. Man United signed Bailly in June 2016 for 30m pounds. That’s 5 years ago. Is it okay for a player to be available for selection for just one year in 5 years? No be say he wasn’t injured and the coach didn’t play him or something o.

Answers on a postcard please.

I know you kuku won’t reply with a concise post providing reasonable answers to the points I have raised.

KingAlabi:
Tough
Watch how expert disappears as always.

KingTom:
This same Bailly?

Illimitable:
Ask him how many of Lampard’s assists were from open play?

Scholes never took corners or indirect freekicks to pad up stats. As soon as Ole put Shaw in set piece duties, his chance creation and assist stats almost quadrupled.

The other factor is Scholes played deeper in a 4-4-2 formation as a CM for most of his career. Another factor is Lampard played more than 11,000 PL minutes more than Scholes.

11,000 PL minutes is 122 PL games more.

elampiro:
The defenders you mentioned are better than Bailly at reading the game

Leyqute:
I knew that that Bailly wouldn’t be up to scrap. Hes so unaware of his surroundings. He loses concentration often. Pair him with another average defense and the result is mayhem.

I expect him to be injured for most of next season. That’s why I didn’t want his contract renewed. He’s just looking to make a buck.

It's only losers that call all individual awards, polling booth awards.

Gerrard was huge in Epl, despite his team not winning it. He was in Epl team of the year for 6 consecutive years.

TrebleChamp:
Ronaldo celebrated winning a trophy this season, whether he stays or move nor consine us....

TrebleChamp:
Ronaldo and Juventus celebrated winning Copa Italia, but Manchester United should only win EPL and CL. Make him bottle UL fess.....

TrebleChamp:
Poch in 6 months has won 2 trophies, Ole in 3 years has won ...

weedtaker:
With our money, depth, resources and all that we should be qualifying from the CL group stages and not crashing out to small teams like Leipzig and Istanbul bwrqiqowad.

Mrviktor:
Just like Real Madrid will win d league too..

IMPOSSIBLE

patrickmuf:
Una go tire...

Una get phobia for trophies abi?

You'll rwad all the excuses for Ole but other managers are winning trophies...

Lille is one game away from winning Lifue 1...PSG are in ligue 1

Atletico too are one win away from winning La Liga...Real Madrid and Barcelona are in LA Liga

Inter have won the Serie A...

Sporting have won the Portuguese league ahead of Porto and Benfica...

All the the above teams have not broken the bank to be in the position they are in.

Lille lost Pepe last 2 seasons but that didn't stop them.

Atletico haven't out spent Madrid and Barcelona neither do they have better players but Simeone is doing his thing...

Sporting lost Bruno and many thought they'll struggle but the y have just won the Portuguese league...

Inter and Conte didn't spent 300m but Serie A is in the bag...

In England, Rodgers has gone ahead to win a trophy but Ole fan boys who have a thing for mediocrity will churning out excuses after excuses...

Progressives...
