Pickford
Coleman Keane Zouma Digne
Gana Gomes
Lookman Sigurdsson Bernard
Richarlison

Man Utd 1 Everton 2

I think the Gomes one will be interesting, and it wouldn't surprise me if Gomes is on the bench and Silva goes with Gana alongside one of Davies or Schneiderlin.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Quite looking forward to this, they're very ordinary at the back and we'll get chances. Just have to take those chances.

.......................Pickford
Seamus .....Keane Zuma ......Digne
...........................Gana
Sexy Portuguese Man.........Iceland
Rico................Small much-tattooed Brazilian
......... ..................DCL

I think this looks a more balanced side although the opportunity to switch sides for the Brazilians is tempting after 30 mins. Dont mess with the defence, might be tempted to bring Daivies on as Gomes tires and Walcott on after 70 mins (he has been below par lately) but that means no place for both Lookman and Tosun who both did well vs Palace... Hmmmm the team should be picked to win the game not on previous performances.... I guess??

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

DCL cant play because we need to take our chances ala Arsenal and he doesn't.

Same team as against Palace for me however I think Mina should come in for Keane who will struggle against the pace of Rashford/Martial.

People forget football has a weird way of having players score against ex teams / sides who could have signed them - you just knew Yarmolenko and Ings were going to bag against us.

Utd went after Mina so play him not only for his height defending set plays when they throw on Felliani, but also this is a game where we need to take any chance we get and set pieces his aerial threat could be the goal difference between a loss/draw or draw/win.

I personally think 3-1 Utd.

That would suggest we play Morgan in midfield then............ :-(

Agreed it's a big test C, but Man U have struggled this season, so if we're going to big up the good attacking footy we've been playing, and those 3 wins on the bounce, then if we go to Old Trafford and are absolutely piss poor, then surely any criticism is valid?

If we are shocking, yes absolutely, criticise away.

But if we barely get beat, don't go back to booing a misplaced pass against Brighton or fuming because they've had a dig from thirty yards. Goodison was so much better on Sunday without that nonsense.

 

[McBain]

Goats 11 to start :

Picko
Colo - Zoooooooomo - Minoooooooo - Digo

Sunday was my first game for a few weeks after being away on holiday, and work commitments (I've been letting a Wolves fan use my season ticket ) and it was actually a decent atmosphere, obviously, and to be expected there were moans and groans for misplaced passes etc, but that toxicity seemed to have gone.

Oh please, give me one more sunday of the work and then pure joy at 6 p.m.

When they hit the bar from that header, I was expecting it to kick off like it has done. But it didn't, it remained relatively decent. There were also considerably less "E'S JUST ANOTHA MARTINEZ THIS FELLA" shouts too.

I'm glad the cranks and moaners are able to make progress.

 

[PhilM]

Oh God, Jon Moss is the referee.

 

[Nymzee]

Need speed against these. I’d go unchanged but wouldn’t be shocked to see a Rich/DCL/Walcott front 3 to peg them back.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

21 nil to the bloos.

Rico with 20. Picko with one that bounces over de gea

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

United unchanged for the first time in 46 games tonight against Juventus. I wonder if that will continue against us.

 

[Buckers]

Sex object.

 

[Buckers]

Digne and Gomes are going to distract them with their brand of phenomenally sexy football. While Manure are swooning Richie angry face Larsson will stick it up ‘em.

0-1 Blues triumphant

 

[Caolam]

I could see us winning this one!
