hdcantona 8,731 Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 With a domestic trophy in the bag and lots of games ahead, I'd honestly go really weak for this one - big rotation, especially with pool on Sunday coming Old Trafford Wednesday 1st March, 19:45 k.o Butland/Heaton Dalot Maguire Lindelof Malacia McTominay Mainoo Elanga Sabitzer Garnacho Martial Something like this - maybe Antony could start or Sancho if Martial still isn't fit enough, I'm basically trying to rest everyone who'd start v pool (ddg, awb varane martinez shaw, casemiro fred, antony bruno rash, weghorst?) Suspect ETH will go quite strong though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nirav 1,143 Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Need to rest Bruno, rashford, varane, casemiro and Shaw. Put Maguire in defence alongwith lindelof. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now we've won the league cup, it wouldn't be the worst thing if we eased fixture congestion by dropping out of this even though of course everyone would like to win it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remember the Dippers won that "treble" of cups well that's another thing they will not have claim too! The league may be out of reach this year so it's not as if we need time to sacrifice cup matches for that competition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think top four is a lock yet, anything can happen, and I'm wary of the effects of playing loads of games on players over 2/3 seasons (see Chelsea and Pool now) but we'll see kevthebad and PVAD 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pool sold their best player, Mane. Reckon we'll make top 4 not easily but by a fair margin. Every other game is a cup tie so why not just go for it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1Day 115 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 I cannot see ETH field a weak line up,this is the crucial part of the season,for the top 4 and many in the race to get out of relegation battle.ETH should use all 5 subs..if needs to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nirav 1,143 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 how was that a foul.. we were clear if referee allows play. we had some real good opportunities but last third passing has been shit..Take a shot. hdcantona 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hdcantona 8,731 Posted March 1 Author Report Share Posted March 1 I really like Sabitzer, hope we can keep him in the summer Ddg with a one v one save which has been one of his weaknesses, Antonio fucked it tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevthebad 881 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 That's why Maquire is going at the end of the season....too slow! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hdcantona 8,731 Posted March 1 Author Report Share Posted March 1 Maguire and McTominay should be playing for west ham, bunk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nirav 1,143 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 garnacho, anthony, maguire and lindelof have been proper shit till now.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevthebad 881 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 This game is calling out for Rashford. Need a goalscorer. Scott and Maquire need to be careful. Another yellow and we are down to 10 men. Can see West Ham scoring soon. Then it will be difficult. How come ref didn't book their defender for cynical pull down. De Gea showing how poor his distribution is. It's time surely for Pellistri? Poor first half! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1Day 115 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Anytime Maguire and Lindelof start,then it’s always a nervous game,they cause David to make errors and then it effects the passing and control,I still blame Maguire as the catalyst Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheManc 4,052 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Been an awful game, from basically everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PVAD 4,461 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 (edited) Just shows scrape the surface and we really are a poor squad. Some truly horrible players representing this club and not based on tonight. I can name 5 in that starting line up that should all have gone last summer probably before that.
