Aside from the elbows, one of our best players on Thursday. Such a scapegoat.

he just doesn't suit the system we're trying to play imo

[–]D1794Viva Ronaldo[S] 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Elsewhere...

Arsenal won 2-0 against Everton away.

Chelsea host West Ham

Leicester go to Palace.

Southampton host Liverpool tomorrow.

Tottenham host Bournemouth tomorrow.

Highest we can climb is back to 5th, within a point of City in 4th, needing a Chelsea victory for that.

We could drop to 7th with a defeat, below the winner of Southampton v Liverpool, on GD.

Welp...not looking forward to this. Bring it on!

I'm strangely optimistic for this game, based on nothing other than City's injuries at the back.

I shouldn't get excited though because this team will just murder my soul as they usually do.

I feel Carrick will start, preferably in place of Fellaini but more likely to be in place of Mata. I wouldn't mind a Schneidi/Carrick combination in this one, and I do feel this is the type of game Hererra would relish if it gets scrappy in the middle, but looks like he'll still be out.

I have a feeling not entirely backed by rationale that we'll win this.

[–]Deep-ThoughtValencia 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Our season is pretty much over. But I would just love for West Ham to take top 4 from City. Let's help them do it.

[–]LeGoalieHerrera 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

Please drop Lingard for Memphis. Lingard is such a nothing player, it's incredible how he's actually a constant in this team. Also maybe, just maybe, we have a midfield that's played together and has some chemistry. Carrick and Fellaini look like they don't even speak the same language. Martial should play up top next to Rashford and just chase after long balls on the counter. Otamendi is bound to make a mistake.

Fuck, I'm negative. I just want a win.

Yeah, a lot of the teamsheet focus has been (quite rightly) on central midfield. But I just want to see Memphis start more games than he has done.

I told my brothers, cousin & sister in law if Liverpool makes it to champions next year and we don't I'm not watching any games for a year.

We beat win 10-0 tomorrow

Thankfully I'm going into work right at kickoff so I don't have to suffer through this!

Who am I kidding, I'll probably be checking my phone for updates every few minutes cause I'm crazy and as much as I want to look away from this season I just can't :/

[–]Crusty_Gammon_Flaps 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

All I would like is a good performance. If we lose but still played well then I will be happier than if we lose and play shit.

[–]obadetonaHerrera na na naaaa 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Winning would put us 1 point behind them, we have to go for it

[–]itsandercontrolBerbatov 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I really want an academy player to win this game for us, whether it be Lingard, Rashford or CBJ. Would be so fitting.

[–]SimonFOOTBALLMartial 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I posted this in another thread but I'd love for us to switch up our formation just to see what happens. I was suggessting:

                     De Gea 

    Darmian   Smalling   Rojo   CBJ/TFM

Valencia   Schneiderlin   Herrera   Memphis

             Rashford    Martial

See what happens if we revert back to a 4-4-2...

Dropping Varerla because he's more attacking minded and I think Valencia will do a job attacking wise on the right with Darmian being the more defensive fullback. Blind needs a break, he's not looked too bad recently but he's got to be knackered at this point. Give one of the youth a shot at left back. I'd prefer CBJ because of his deadly crosses but I can't remember if hes fit or not. Memphis playing as a left midfielder should be interesting. Giving him the freedom to be more attacking would probably work out. Rashford and Martial in the middle to see if they can't conjure up something with their deadly pace and ability to beat a player.

So they have, sorry about that.

No prob. Gives everyone in every timezone a chance to participate and as they're stickied to the top they don't get buried.
