We need to stop conceding midfield in every game for the sake of an extra pass at the back. The 2 in a double pivot is easily smothered by a midfield 3.

This cuts off a supply line to our attack and means we have to rely on defenders hoofing it forwards to players who are all poor at winning aerial duels.

United couldn’t live with Hojberg, Nodombele and Sissoko in the middle. You’ve got to win the ball in the opposition half to control games like this.

100% agree. Aside from partey we dont have cm's with legs. Ndombele and sissoko are athletes and hojberg can move well. DC and xhaka are both so limited on speed so the current way we play suits those 2 players and the lack of pace is hidden.

I would love mikel to take the handbrake off. Match the 433 of united, none of this xhaka dropping into lcb. Take the game to them, auba should have a field day against that shambles of a defence. Utd are there for the taking

@Makingtrax I'm going to give you a massive erection and ask about your net squad cost thing.

What if a team buys a player and he flops? Surely that will skew the results of that system. For example, us signing Pepe for £72m and him not putting anywhere near that amount of value towards the team (yet). Same with Maguire/Pogba/Di Maria at United, Torres/Morata/Kepa at Chelsea etc.

The signing of Pepe probably puts us above a team on squad cost but doesnt improve us anywhere near proportionally to that. This of course more of an issue with expensive players who dont work out.

Meanwhile, a team who scouted the right player and had a better system for doing so, buy a good player for the fraction of the price but enjoy a larger output from him.

Mustafi will play and do Mustafi things because they’ll target him - like we should target Shaw, but we’ll start Willian who hasn’t got the beating of a fullback under the age of 30.

if we decide to go with a 433, despite having Partey Arteta will still put Xhaka & Ceballos next to him.
Feel like we’re losing this with Willian looking like a 40 year old, Laca missing a hat trick of tap ins and Mustafi playing like he’s blind.
They’ll also get a dodgy pen at some point. :facepalm: - probably because of Mustafi

F#ck it, let's use ESR as our surprise option.
For once in our lives let's go to United without fear.

Fred-McTominay
Shaw-Maguire-Tuanzebe-AWB

No matter how bad united are haven't felt confident going to old Trafford for years. Of course now they've hit a bit of form makes it even worse because you know we're going to show them even more respect.
We have to win this tomorrow a draw would feel a meaningless result I think.

Supposedly Mata and McSauce in the United starting 11 tomorrow.

De Gea
Awb - Lindelof - Mags - Shaw
Mctominay - Fred
Mata - Bruno - Rashy

Fairly happy if they go with this side and not one with Matic and Pogba. Partey could run that midfield.
