[Stevo]

That starting line up had turned my stomach

 

[jono_t2000]

Wow, can we at least let the boys get on the pitch and kick a ball before passing judgement

I'll happily eat my words if we don't get dicked and look competitive tonight. But doesn't look like a 'have a go' team.

It looks like a 'try and stop from conceding for as long as possible' team. Which is not what we need right now.

 

[LJBlade]

Great to see we've gone for old and slow at the back. Against a Fulham team with pace.

Given the £40 million strikeforce of Brewster and McBurnie is I presume going to start next season, why on earth are they not getting practice playing together? Have they ever played together? Maybe once?

Who would you have selected at the back? I’m not sure we’ve got many other options

Who would you have picked in the 3 at the back? We're down to the bare bones.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

"The" goal ? Loving your optimism chipbutty

It'll be 1-0,the odd goal syndrome.

 

[wavy-blade]

Porridge is on at 8 , on yesterday channel 26 free view

 

[jono_t2000]

Who would you have selected at the back?

I would have put Ampadu in the back and put mcgoldrick number 10 personally.

 

[Dalelane01]

I'll have 2 pints of whatever that is youve had please

Just plain water my friend


Wth half bottle whisky

Agree on the Brewster idea - if he’s been bought with a view to being a regular next season then why not give him more run outs this season ?

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

The only positive thing to come out of tonight will be if young Brunt gets some minutes.

 

[ekke287]

We wrote the team off before Man U, let’s have some belief lads.

 

[LJBlade]

I would have put Ampadu in the back and put mcgoldrick number 10 personally.

That’s not a bad option. Ampadu in the middle of the back 3?

 

[LJBlade]

The only positive thing to come out of tonight will be if young Brunt gets some minutes.

So it wouldn’t be a positive if we won?

 

[Working Class Hero]

I would have put Ampadu in the back and put mcgoldrick number 10 personally.

Anyone who has watched United the last 4 years would do that I reckon, apart from the man picking the team.

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

McGoldrick and Bogle our best two players this season so I can fully understand why they've been dropped.

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

So it wouldn’t be a positive if we won?

Lol. Suppose so but it's a big if. A draw would be excellent news.

 

[FredZeppelin]

I actually think our bench would beat the starting XI, tonight.
Glad I don't have to pay to watch it, though.
UTB

 

[drblade]

Strange in a must win game he’s dropped Didzy and Bogle

 

[drblade]

At least Fleck is in and Norwood out

 

[The Bear]

Hurray not playing in fucking pink!!

 

[Rodley]

McBurnie and Sharp up front as a pairing is the definition of suboptimal

 

[steveM]

Come on Sheffield do BHA a massive favour. I hate looking over my shoulder. I get restless.

 

[Ukkonen]

Sky are saying Bash is playing in the norwood role with amps in the back 3... not sure what to think of that

 

[knowsnowt]

Just seen the line up.
Belt it to McBurnie it is then.

 

[drblade]

Billy is a man possessed

Well, Ampadu is playing as the LCB so leave him there. Why not play Osborn or Fleck in DM. If you play Lowe and/or Bogle then you have more pace.

 

[Jolly Buffer]

Who are "Sheffield"?

 

[A Storm of Blades]

God that starting 11 is minging

 

[DromoreBlade]

This camera angle is actually making me feel a bit sick :/
