So tempted to bet on Ighalo to score. Its written in the effin stars. United are nothing but an ordinary side these days. Got some individuals that can hurt us. The former Udi player delivers a nice dead ball though. Looking forward to seeing Deeney smash slab head all over the place again. Honestly can't call the result but we are not going to get hammered.
My lineup would be : Bench: Gomes, Holebas, Cathcart, Hughes, Pussetto, Sarr, Welbeck. I wouldn't risk Sarr from the start as I think he is essential for the last few games and that if he got injured we could easily go down
Biggest threat is probably Bruno Fernandes from set pieces. Without Rashford they are a fairly ordinary team and Martial can either be a 3/10 or a 9/10. If he's the former, we've got a good chance. We can't treat this as a foregone conclusion.
In what minute will Iggy score his first goal for Man U? In what minute will Iggy score his second goal for Man U? In what minute will Iggy complete his first hat trick for Man U?
He's on the bench and probably won't come on before the 70th minute. It's good news for us that Utd have gone with Lindelof at the back next to Maguire - Bailly looked pretty good against Chelsea I thought, whereas Lindelof always has a mistake in him and even an unfit Troy will fancy his chances of shoving him around.
I heard Kiko was training with Sarr.. obviously not quite up to speed then. Pretty much the best side we could put out to begin with. If we score first we lose or draw. Unless Pearson has got that fear factor drummed out.
I mean, it doesn’t look fine. It’s admittedly about the best we can muster - but it still looks bloody awful.
No Femenia after winter break. And Janmaat obviously miles off. Makes the lack of winter right back recruitment even more idiotic.
Pozzo's old-boy's will return to bite them in the ass. We will lose. Fernandes and Ighalo will be the difference.
I prefer Chalobah to Hughes, we were hard to break down with them 3 (+Capoue,Doucoure) on the pitch. Mariappa being dropped isn't a surprise. Shame Sarr not playing.
Deulofeu has done **** all again, looks totally uninterested. Team needs changing second half but Pearson will leave it far too late
It's pretty standard of us away at the big sides to get a massive chance early on in the match which we completely bottle, then end up severely regretting.
This game equals our whole season and pre-season - frustrating! Team playing really well. Two moments that have cost us, Deeney in their box, Foster in ours. This isn’t an emotional rant because this has been growing for a few seasons now, but I just can’t stomach another season with Troy as our main striker. He’s a good player, works hard, cares about the club. I’m not wanting to bad mouth him but it’s just too frustrating seeing the same weaknesses game after game. I’d rather he moved on and was seen in a positive way and have him replaced with someone else who may have many flaws and be a gamble, but I just can’t bare the thought of seeing him as our main striker any more. Today’s example was tragic and at no point did I think he’d score. 3 or 4 little taps moving at the speed of a snail, they gave him the ball and he was facing the goal, no shot, no pass. Troy has earned some kind of legendary status at the club, but please let this be his final season with us.
Often read this about Deulofeu. Where does your uninterested comment come from? He’s tracking back and getting forward and wanting the ball, plus trying to beat players and has made a couple of decent balls into the box, one which we nearly scored from. Just wondering what you’ve seen different?
