Especially with Bailly suspended he can't risk anyone at the lane on Sunday now
One game vs Ajax for trophy and champions league or playing Russian roulette in league and hopIng teams above him fuck up, Jose won't risk it
In a way it's sad for last game at lane to be against a united B/C team but it's good for us to bid farewell with a solid win for second

3 at the back.
Last season the old formation was more flowing, but recently it's become a sign of hesitation and keep ball with little end product.
We really need to be more aggressive with a back 4.....it's not exactly a defensive set up, so no idea why the front three tend to go missing in it.
Go at them, we win well.

Think it's a piss take there is a £150 cap. That's more of a slap in the face than no cap really. Means they've identified people are getting ripped off and decided it's acceptable for people to profiteer off other fans...just within a specified limit.
If there is any cap it should be near face value
A lot of nonsense on here about Manu 'rotating', I look at their squad against Celta yesterday and it is the reverse they rotated for this game.
Rooney, Martial, Mata, Smalling,Carrick,jones & de gea were on the bench .So they will be starting sunday. hardly a 'B team'

-----------------Rooney-------------
-----Martial----Pogba------Mata

Darmian-Bailley Smalling--Tuan-
---------------De Gea-----------------
Not a bad team tbh
Here is what will happen -
- Mourinho will park the bus
- Manu will play counter and will try to exploit our back 3 with Martial & Mata who have the pace
- We will dominate midfield and will have chances on goal.
-If we find ourselves in a stiuation where Manu have us 1-1 or even 0-0 by the 70th minute and Poch brings on Sissoko, Jassen. Know fully well he fucked up the subs and plan B.

This is our ADVANTAGE over Manu, the players they will be bringing off the bench won't be a 100%. So it would be ncie to have a plan B and consider having a first x11 player or two on the bench. And starting with one or two squad players to break down Manu who will park the bus.
Most of the team re Woolwich were first team players if not first choice. Like us playing Trippier and Davies rather than Walker & Rose. Bailly will play as suspended and as this match is the first he is more likely to rest for the other matches. Make no mistake this will not be easy. If we play to our best we will win but not if the occasion affects them or they think we are definitely ending up second and it does not matter. The players need to have their heads right for this match and play like previous matches and not like the last one re Spammers.
Similar to the team that Woolwich thrashed??
Not going to be an easy match, but color me unimpressed
I am still pissed off about the west ham result lol . I just really think we hve the capability to tear manu a new one and stuff them 4 or 5-0, instead of play into Mourinho's tactics.
Well condolences there, but do u really consider Pogba the biggest threat from the opposition? I am more inclined to think Mata & Martial will be the ones to watch out for.
He absolutely dominated Dembele at Old Trafford and he's a talented footballer. I don't think anyone else coming into the team has the power to dominate Wanyama and Dembele like Pogba COULD
I don't really remember the last game, but looking at the line up it seems they started a 3 man midfield against dembele & wanyama, hence explaining the possible 'domination'.
