Pre Match - Man Utd (H) - PL - Tues 20:00

[Brizzle]

Quick turnaround for this one, huge game against the old enemy.

Can see some of those who were on the bench starting this, but it’s hard to ignore form of those who were sensational in the semi.
I think we’ll see:

Ali
Trent Matip Virg Robbo
Fabs
Hendo Thiago
Salah Jota Diaz

my preference would be to see Naby again, and Tsimikas on the left.

United didn’t play either McTominay or Fred at the weekend, potentially to rest them for this.

We play the day before city so another chance to put them under pressure.

Rumours are Fred and mctominay are injured hence they didn't play yesterday. No doubt they'll make a miraculous recovery for Tuesday

I don't think we'll see both Robbo and Trent in the same team until the semi final of the CL.

On that basis:

----------------Alisson ------------

Trent -- Matip -- Virgil -- Tsimikas

----- Hendo -- Fabs -- Keita----

----Salah -- Jota -- Mane ----

I think we'll give Thiago a break on this one, he'll come on for Henderson in the second half.

Against Everton I wouldn't be surprised to see Robbo and Gomez as fullbacks.

Would be nice if we were seen to have put manners on the whole of Manchester in a matter of a couple of days.

 

[StevieM]

Imagine having to contemplate the concept that the addition of “Fred and McTominay” to your midfield in any way improves it.

Covid? What's the latest on this in the UK / PL ? How is it handled now?

Yep. I can't see any other team. Next up Everton and that's 5 days later with a late KO so shouldn't be an issue for any of them. 5 subs from 60 mins on.

I watched 15 mins of the United vs Norwich highlights (that is the two Norwich goals) and United looked defensively horrendous. Norwich could have won that before Ronaldo scored and played well. There wasn't a great difference between the teams.

This was their team vs Norwich:

Pogba got booed off last match so don't see him starting. If it's covid Fred + McTominay may not be back however they'll both start if fit (for Lingard + Pogba) and I doubt they'll be any other changes. If Fred + McTominay aren't fit then I expect Matic to replace Pogba.

Of course Ronaldo and Elanga (nice find) are going to be dangerous in attack, however I'll be shocked if we don't spank them again. 4-1 this time with Mo back on the scoresheet (x2), VvD and Diaz from the bench our scorers.

Yea that’s the team although Mane was knackered, I could see Diaz doing 60 and Mane 30.

I did have a quick look on red café and there’s a thread questioning whether Ronaldo starts this with some chat around Fernandez as false 9 with Sancho and Elanga.

If their team is anything like the side that faced Norwich they have no chance but there’s no way.

Ragnick said McTominay, Fred and most likely Varane are out injured.

Hopefully it's SARS related or Novochok

Perusing RedCafe and found this in the Klopp thread posted today :

We make the 20th team look like the 1st placed team and Liverpool make the 1st placed team look like the 20th team

 

[Markeh]

Ragnick said McTominay, Fred and most likely Varane are out injured.

So we’re actually likely to see a dogshit midfield, excellent

As long as Pogba plays and Luke Shaw and Slabhead we'll be fine

Good… I hope the play Ronaldo, Matic, Mata & Cavani in a side with an average age older than the last Masters side they put out.

Shaw is out.

 

[737Max]

Shaw is out.

If you want a bit of a giggle pop over to red cafe (no sign up required so dive straight in) and read their threads on the Tuesday game and Harry maguire

Some of the posters seem about to top them selves!

“If they start with 9 we may sneak a draw”

“A proper spanking”

“Might as well go full Ole and play that cowardly back five that actually served us quite well. Mind you that relies on Varane being fit”

“it's sad. When we were on top, ANY game v Liverpool was a horrid nailbiter, even when they were finishing 7th and 8th.
Now the tables are turned we just roll over for them”

“i think our best bet is to wake up the next day and claim it wasn’t consensual”

I have no allusions about the like situation of this post. The doc will post a one liner underneath and farm the fuck out of the thread [emoji3]

LOOOOLZ

Also one poster referred to Liverpool as one of the best teams in the world which is just

You know what this means.....






David De Gea, Man of the Match with 27 saves

Haha that's hilarious !

As a homage to Hal they've started a thread called : Liverpool's inevitable quadruple. I'm sure Hal will be harvesting many comments to use in future threads here.

Yep, go with this. Maybe see Jones for Naby but then Naby pressed well at against united so it comes down to Naby’s fitness on such quick turnaround.

 

[Red Bird]

I worry about each time we go into a match as massive favourites.

 

[bluebell]

An injured lion is still dangerous. They will more than any other team want us to slip up, as a 20th title equals theirs. So this should be treated like the City game with the same intensity

 

[Red Mullet]

Mo should be able to break his recent duck with a hattrick.

 

[rubans]

What are they? 5th?
Will be a tough game especially with their players they have on paper regardless.
