I won't mind this formation for the Barca game.

.......Dalot..........Varane................Martinez...............Shaw......

..........................Casemiro.............Fred....................................

.........Bruno...................Sabitzer........................Rashford........

........................................Weghorst.........................................


Casemiro to sit as the CDM and Fred and Sabitzer to shadow and press FDJ and Busquets respectively. What we don't want is for Busquets and FDJ to seize that midfield and monopolize possession at Old Trafford.

Sancho, McTominay, Garnacho, Malacia, AWB et al on the bench, though an option if ETH wants to be ultra-attacking is Sancho at 10 for Sabitzer but Sancho might not be able to do the pressing needed in that role.

Very interesting. My guess is that Sancho will come in for Sabitzer even though I would rather Fred on the bench and Sabitzer in for him.

There are no away goals anymore so ultimately we have to win. I do accept that we need to make sure Busquests and FDJ dont grab hold of that midfield though.

Damn , So annoying that Liverpool seem to have found their groove again. Not looking forward to when we have to go to A field.

I need to praise Liverpool more.

You guys have renewed your ojoro sub.
Same way SAF won undeserved epl for years with the help of English FA and Ref.

Guys, Just look at these tears. We might be back o.

Please save us from Fred this summer.

LostMyZeal:
We have a team where the striker doesn't know when to expect balls from his midfielders and you dey blame the striker, for what exactly?

When you see the way Haaland and Debruyne communicates, don't you see that they understand each other.

I can tell y'all for a fact that the team is not there yet as a collective. We're basically just getting by with the results because the squad depth and quality isn't there. So we rely more on transitions.

And let me burst y'all bubbles, the only difference between this United and Ole's counter-attack United is that ETH modified it with some tweaks and then we got more competent players in the team now. If not, the difference isn't much if you watch our games with understanding.

A team without a clear-cut pattern will look disorganized and the person that mostly bears the brunt of that scatter scatter is the striker.

If you like carry Mbappe come play that 9, if Bruno and co no wan give am ball, the baba will be barren asf

I have seen Rashford and Bruno prefer to shoot countless times when a pass or cross to Weghorst could have sufficed. But they shoot and the ball ends up in the stands

Abeg make we spread the blame evenly, thank you as you meditate on the bold day and night.

Seems like you're trying to convince yourself. I've never seen any United fan who thinks this team is there yet as a collective.

Weghorst playing a new position tonight. Defensive number 10.

We might need to have a conversation about Sancho. But I'll wait till the end of the season. I don't know how many times we can send him to the mountains to go and get some sense and some pace, some strength, some dribbling some crossing and some good shooting. You know just ability to play football at a decent level. Kashimawo.

olabode89:
Feed is so poor.

Poor fouls on the edge of the box.

I worry about Malacia at LB.

Borntosmoke:
Man u should get this kvarastelia. The boy is too good. Osihmen is very lucky to have this guy playing at is back

He plays on the left of the front 3. So you want him in place of Rashford? He wont be coming to sit on the bench.

Mrviktor:
rashford is 1.8 m

shaw is 1.85 m

I'm not convinced by this.

Mrviktor:
shaw is taller than rashfordd

I'm not sure about that. I think they're both 6ft 1. But its not obvious . I've always known Shaw was over 6ft so its not a big surprise.

I dont think its a good idea to intentionally plan to exit or prioritize competitions when you're trying to instill a winning mentality in a team just finding itself.

afrodoc2:
Varane and Shaw definitely.

I dont think I want to see Malacia against Barca.

Martial and Antony still out with injuries that will also make them miss the first leg against Barcelona.

That Casemiro drop off might be the biggest personnel drop off in the league. Absolute shambles.

Fred with a world class hall of shame performance.

JayKayMaybachz:
Man City are in massive trouble, Guys. Meh ah bring gist come table

Make them give Ole and Man utd 1 retrospective premier league title jor.

The Casemiro choking looks worse than what happened. I don't think it was as bad and a red card is definitely harsh for that.

Rumour says Fred and Casemiro starts. Sanitizer on the bench.

ChristineC:
he needs to be in goal for the final.
Imagine walking into the room with a winners' medal and a big smile on your face when your teammates are wailing

I believe he's cup tied so he cannot play for them in the final?

I'm sure or atleast I hope the club have been preparing for the possible outcomes of the Greenwood issue. Hopefully they have a plan and will release a statement soon.

CrystalTiger:
But as a professional, don't you think he might have been having off camera training?..I mean did we ever cancel his contract?

Wherever he has been training. He has definitely not been training at Carrington or at United level so he'll need time to get up to speed to that.

Of course this is assuming the club lets him back.

afrodoc2:
Will they have the b.a.l.l.s to bring him back?

I doubt it. I still think his United career is done.

You people need to be calming down o. blood just dey hot everywhere.

So you people could not even wish our dear manager ETH a happy birthday.

Nah crutches save Eriksen. If not na starting lineup straight.

akwesenana:
I no wan see bruno and rashford tonight. Erik should start all our small boys and fight for a draw. Why is no one talking about guimares red card?

I dont think the red card impacts the final. I think it impacts the premier league matches.

Leyqute:
I think he’s primarily a midfielder but has also played on the wings on occasions. Can you prove that he’s a right back?

I can't prove he's a rb. I've just seen him play that position more at RBL than midfield.

Jokerman:
This Sabitzer is a decent player.... Nice one from the coach

Time will tell. He couldn't establish himself at Bayern but he was decent at RBL. But mostly playing right back at RBL. Let's see if premier league works for him.

Fabrizio says we're speaking to Bayern about Sabitzer.

At this point, I'll take it.

We might see Luke Shaw in midfield at this rate.
