5 days away now, might as well start a proper match thread. Formations etc., all the usual.
Maybe torp? Or MvE ?Quiz question…
Can you name a member of the current squad who has appeared in the Europa League?
Difficult to call for me. As loathe as I am to put Lati at RB again, having that and MvE in front of him means we can double up on Garnacho (it feels ridiculous typing that) but also use MvE's pace on the break. Need to get at Kambwala if he's playing. The team basically picks itself, unless MR/AV spring a surprise and go 3ATB or something.
Solid performance but run out of steam and a 4-1 loss, couple of late goals for them making it look worse than it was.

I would play Kelly over TorpAs for team, I'd get MVE back to RB. Lati looks like he needs a break, and Milan's pace will be required to mark Rashford if he starts on the left.
I'd go 4-3-1-2 I think:
Collins (reluctanctly)
Milan
Bobby
Kitching
Bidwell
Sheaf
Eccles
Torp
O'Hare
Wright
Simms
Simms and Wright would need to work the channels and help provide width along with the full backs, but it could work. The other option is stay 4-3-3 and put Godden back in, with Simms on the right.... but not sure thats wise with how Godden has looked recently
It's definitely doable, I think I'm partly insulating myself against defeat because I didn't against Luton and it was horrible lolAgree with the team above but I'm so genuinely convinced we'll sneak it.
We've got some poor performances out of the way and Utd are beatable. Is it likely, no. Is it doable, most definitely yes. It'll only take them to have one of their off days - which are more regular now and some luck and you just never know.
I think a lot will depend on Sheaf and Eccles. They're our key players, breaking up play, protecting the back 3/5 and starting attacks. Sheaf channeled his inner Xavi vs Wolves. Another one of those and a good performance from Eccles and it'll help massively.
One things for sure...this team can spring positive results when we've needed them (bar Luton, obvs) and I'm confident that we can add Sunday to the list of amazing wins under MR.

Maybe, but at times Rashford does have the ability to destroy himself..If United play Rashford left wing, MVE has to play right back, Lati will get destroyed by his pace.

Yeah, he isn't playing well, but he is rapid.Maybe, but at times Rashford does have the ability to destroy himself..
I think he'll play both and be 5ATB out of possession so we can double up on the wingers, but MvE pushes up into RW and Lati to RB when we've got the ball.If United play Rashford left wing, MVE has to play right back, Lati will get destroyed by his pace.

if true likely to be mainly because in the PL there are very few teams that play 3 at the back, Brentford and Brighton sometimes and Wolves are the only 3 I can think of.Someone on the CWR phone-in last night was saying that Man Utd have only lost a few games this season against teams that were playing a back 3, but lost 16 against teams that play a back 4.
I'm going to assume it's true, but thought it was interesting
Sadly I think it’s time to bring Wilson back in
O’hare has to start and I’m very very grateful Palmer got himself suspended after his shambolic display last week.
We have a big problem with the Barnsley trio that will need to be addressed in the summer.
Torp and Tavares belong with the u23s.
No preference in regards to back 4 or back 3 but the 11 picks itself.
Coventry 1-6 Manchester United
