markjazzbassist Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Big game here mou is imploding yet they still have such quality that the players occasionally bail him out. I think he will sit back and try and get us on the counter as he usually does. Im ready for richarlison to go back to the wing. Pickers Coleman Keane Zouma Digne Gana Gomes Gylfi bernard Tosun Richarlison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 In two minds on what the better option up front would be. Tosun has a couple of goals off the bench and deserves to be rewarded, however I can see Richarlison having more of an impact on the counter attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battles for every header as well so would give Linderlof a headache. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Same team for me. Same bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Utd arent really a team to counter attack though are they? They arent going to dominate possession and they would probably prefer to play on the counter themselves with Lukaku, Rashford and Martial for all that they wont necessarily sit back given the pressure they are under and as they are at home. I think I would also start with the same side and then use the bench depending on how the game is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Same team for me. Front 4 weren’t great against palace, really hoping they are up for this one and get it right. I’m confident that we could really do united here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 I think if we beat them at Old Trafford, Jose walks. Their attitudes will be key to this game, more so than usual. Chach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 I think it will be a big test for them, they are nervous at home, and if Jose is distracted by the possibility of the Real Madrid job then it could be a great opportunity for us. With our pace and movement and Utds uncertain defense we have the potential to cause them real problems. I would keep the same team or swap Theo Walcott for Lookman.

aaron Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Pogba walks into every team in the world. He isn'ttt performing like he should at United but I think that's down to tactics. Look at him for France, he is world class. Valencia, De Gea, Martial all get in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks good for France because it’s pedestrian football like in Italy. He can trot about like the show pony he is. I think he is found out consistently in the premiership. I wouldn’t consider Valencia or martial as miles better than we have either EFC-Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's their leading scorer cos mourinho hasn't dropped him as his striker... which probably explains why they are below us in the league. I'm pretty sure if martial gets the nod as centre forward he is on 7 goals.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the same mourinho who has fallen out with / pubically criticised the three other players who can do lukakus role.... Sanchez, Martial, and Rashford. The same mourinho who when the fans demand he drops a player digs in and goes the other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You told me that the Ginger whinger new more about football than me so he was to be obeyed and listend to, now you want me to believe that you no more about being a manager than Mourinho, I don’t think so Haf I know you like pushing the boundaries of reality but realistically I think Mourinho’s knowledge is better than yours.

Mourinhos knowledge is far greater than mine - as his propensity to cut off his nose to spite his face. Let's see what happens when lukaku is dropped.... if and when. It is gonna happen soon..

You mean the player he started when he dropped Mata. He's a good manager. If you want to win trophies but not of you want to win the golden boot. Think most would pick silverware.

Hafnia Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Ronaldo had his most prolific spell under mourinho. Zlatan got 20 goals for the first time under him winning the golden boot at inter with 25 goals. Drogba won the golden boot under him. Benni McCarthy won golden boot under him Costa scored 20 in 26 for him prior to Chelsea players fallout. Don't see the issue myself.

Other than Drogba don't see how you can compare goals scored in shit leagues. Focusing on drogba, he scored 0.41 goals per game at Chelsea (although swayed down by his last season). Lukaku was 0.45 per game last season. Not including Drogbas last season to make it fair. Drogba scored more than 16 goals twice in 8 seasons. Lukaku is doing just fine. It's the midfielders who aren't scoring/doing enough for united. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
