I am a member of Martial fc but these days, we don't even know the Martial that will turn up in games.

Patrickmuf, as the president of Martial fc, which one are you expecting on Wednesday?

Black glove wearing ice cold assasin

Or

Lazy, sulking, downcast, own goal scoring Martial?
RB Leipzig are not ready for what will hit them, I expect at least a goal and an assist from Martial...Ole should just not be unfortunate to start James because I will swear for him.

A front 3 of Rashford - Martial and Greenwood should do with Rashford and Martial interchanging places supported by a midfield of Bruno, Pogba/VDB (I suspect Fred will start and McTominay)...

In defense, it will be interesting to see who gets the nod at LB as well as CB, who partners Maguire?

Since Ole is a guest here, let me just talk to him directly... grin grin grin

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, please can you try a 4-4-2 in our next league game?

.............................. McTominay/Fred...........................

.................. VDB.................................... Pogba............

....................................... Bruno.....................................

................Greenwood................ Rashford...................

When attacking, Pogba and Rashford can overload that left side with support from Telles/Shaw whilst Bruno and Greenwood take up positions in the box with VDB on the edge...And vice versa when attacking through the right wing...

On the bench, the likes of Mata, Cavani, Matic, Fred/McTominay and Martial (Greenwood) will provide fresh legs if needed.

Starting Mata was a wrong decision because Chelsea will never completely sit back. VDB would have done better because he's more mobile. Is Pogba on a small salary? Ighalo has 2 months left so this being Mata's final season has nothing to do with it.
After all this excuses for mata(who I like by the way), what do you have to say about James?

We'll, the coach said that some of them played a lot of games during the international break and they are tired. I'm willing to accept the excuse for now even though it doesn't make sense because Bruno I can't remember the last time Bruno rested.
Thank you...

No dey talk like dat Biko..

How many matches kieta nd fabinho play for in first season.

Vdb no be Messi wey go Just enter team straight up.. We all saw d training ne work effort mactominaty put in during lock down.. We all saw what dey both did against Newcastle nd psg. Nd dey were amazing against Chelsea..
For dem to bench an attacking player like Pogba who is VDB.

They will all get dia chance.. If we win Leipzig this coming Gameweek we go play am for d next game..

After Leipzig we play arsenal..

Nd everton some days later.
If you're VDB, how will you feel watching James and Mata start ahead of you? Mata isn't bad but he is only useful when we play against teams that will sit back for most of the play asking us to break them down if we can...

VDB was an integral part of that Ajax team that played high tempo attacking style...He withstood even better opposition before.

We are playing 3 games every 7 days.

Everybody screaming vdb vdb vdb should stop Biko...
He will get his chance..
Guy forget o! I watch almost all of Liverpool games and Klopp some how manages to give all of them quality game time...Even Milner gets games too.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 9:34am On Oct 25, 2020
Ole has to find a way to better utilize VDB and Telles especially VDB...

VDB can easily play the Bruno role whilst Bruno play from deep alongside any of McTominay, Fred or Matic...The idea of playing both Fred and McTominay should only be entertained when we are against Manchester City, Liverpool, Bayern or the likes and not Chelsea who are struggling to get things going. You can even argue that Bruno has the work rate to do a Fred whilst still contributing to our attack, it is a necessary move especially when you have Shaw at LB and Wan-Bissaka as RB.

Yesterday, for most part we only had too genuine attackers on the pitch in Rashford and Bruno. James was useless whilst Shaw has a dead football brain, at some point he was being begged to overlap but the burger King wasn't having none of it, he just choose to sit back.

Wan-Bissaka was very good defensively but going forward he was poor. You'd think the idea of playing a double pivot of Fred and McTominay was to provide cover for our fullbacks but of what essence is it when the both are very conservative fullbacks?

Lastly, Bruno or whoever is Taking our corner kicks should targeting the head of Maguire for a header back across the 6 yards as it hasn't worked and doesn't look like it will ever work. I expected us to put in crosses I to the box with Cavani on the pitch but we were still playing like it was Martial that was the CF.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 7:33pm On Oct 24, 2020
Very boring game. If we must get the best of Cavani, we have to create chances...

I don't get why VDB can't get into this team, his forward play will unsettle most teams but only Ole knows why he didn't play him.

Ole killed us with his starting 11 as we waste a full half of football...

Easing him into the team. Same way he did with Greenwood last season. European games first then the physical EPL. I’m quite certain Telles will play in midweek.
Except that Telles isn't a youngster like Greenwood...

The line up doesn't make sense to me but I hope I am wrong...

Let's see how Lindelof and Maguire deal with the pace of Werner...

Koeman is clueless...

Coutinho and Pedri should have been taken off earlier for Dembele and Puig (Don't know why Koeman doesn't fancy him)...

Busi shouldn't have started, Pjanic should take his place. Braithwaite offers more than Grizzy...

CapitalCee, fire on...

When I opined that Dortmund will struggle to sell Sancho going forward, I wasn't on drugs...Sancho himself is greedy, push for a deal baba say no, he prolly thought United will pay up but Ed wasn't having none of it so I don’t buy the whole narrative that Sancho is unhappy...All he had to do was submit a transfer request but he was forming good boy...

When you talk about his performance for England, they'll tell you that Southgate is clueless but some of us have seen enough in football to know that a player shouldn't be rated after a very good season but at least after 2-3 seasons playing good football...We have seen Andrew Johnson, Darren Bent and a host of other one season wonders. Sancho have friends in Manchester United's team, the problem of integration wasn't going to hold sway for him, all he needed to do was push for a deal but he didn't...I bet he'll see our game against PSG and wished he made the move...At 200k per week wages, if nobody goes in hard for him next summer, Watzke will beg to terminate his contract because quite sincerely, Dortmund cannot afford such wages not when matches are played behind closed doors...

Yeah I agree with you. But in some other matches a different formation might be more suitable.

The Everton match is one that i think a 4-4-2 would be better for. And possibly a Maguire/Tuanzebe partnership. If not Calvert-Lewin will seek Lindelof out and kill him in the air.
I just burst laugh for here...DCL will kill Lindelof no be lie...

Greenwood is being punished silently by the club is the word on the street. Turning up late for training and partying.

Mengi is being introduced cautiously. i believe. This is the wrong time to introduce an 18 yr old into a shaky defence. For example if Mengi had been part of that 6-1 Spurs debacle it could have shattered his confidence. I would give him a few months to develop further and then introduce him when things are more stable.
I fear for Greenwood...I honestly hope he doesn't let himself down.

When playing 4-4-2 we can play McTom at the base, Fred and Pogba on both sides with Bruno at the apex. VDB can be our quality sub off the bench.

Martial had some really good hold up play in the game and he linked up really well. But he has to be more aggressive in his movements in the box or else a fit Cavani will take his place.

I think the most significant thing that happened yesterday was Tuanzebe delivering a world class performance after almost 1 year out and what questions that raises for the Maguire/Lindelof combination.
Tuanzebe was excellent to think he hasn't been involved in a competitive game for that long. Personally, I rather have us set us same way against Chelsea with same personnel as I don't want Maguire jumping straight back into the team. Lindelof is faster and releases the ball quicker than Maguire who's play can be very annoying...Realistically, I know Maguire will walk back into the team.

Since Chelsea are dangerous when they attack from the left, we will need a fast LCB and that's Tuanzebe.

As an aside, what's up with Mengi and Greenwood?

Martial will bounce back soon...He was brilliant in patches yesterday and benefitted from the introduction of Pogba.

If only we can combine McTominay and Fred into one then we can fully deploy the diamond formation with Pogba and VDB as wide CMs...

This team should be able to hold its own against most teams on this planet. Dropping Pogba showed Ole had balls. He should keep it up. Martial needs to spend some time on the bench too. I felt he could have brought in James and VDB earlier to put PSG on the back foot. If we can have a stable team by January, then we can make that bid for Sancho. We don't want to put that pressure of building the team around him so he can be free to express himself and grow
Dortmund will struggle to sell Sancho above £80m... Anyone that cares should bookmark this post...
