Luckily you have Stones and Bravo so should be a defensive calamity on both sides.

The most obvious formation to us all with the players we have is 433. We bought the worlds most expensive player who thrives in a 433. We bought the Bundesliga's best player who shone in a 433. We bought Ligue 1's best player who ran away with the league in a 433. We have a CB/LB who preferred DM in a 3 at Ajax. And so on...

Yet here we are playing every game this season as a 4231, with players out of position all over.

And this isn't new. LVG aka Mr. 433 also promptly switched to a 4231 early into his Manchester United career and carried it on until it cost him his job. I had chalked it up to the experienced, highly paid managers knowing better than us fans, but on the back of yet another embarrassment maybe they dont. So why do they refuse to play the formation that seems to make the most sense?

The team we all want to see:

DDG
Valencia - Bailly - Smalling - Shaw
Herrera - Blind/Carrick - Pogba
Miki - Zlatan - Martial

I'd go for a narrow 4-4-2.

--------------Rashford----Martial

------------------------Mata

-----------------Pogba---Herrera

----------------------Carrick

Shaw-------Blind-----Smalling----Valencia

----------------------DDG


We could easily go 451 and sit back but then we're up against city's main strength., their attack.

Lets be positive and go at that defence. It's not great. If they beat us so be it.

I think Carrick and Herrera in midfield would slow down KDB n Silva a lot as well. A lot more than Fellaini.

Rashford n Martial upfront. Pace and movement that City's backline won't like.

Lets be positive and go at that defence. It's not great. If they beat us so be it.

I like Mourinho and laugh at the calls that he's over and we need someone new. However, we're never going to go for it.

Who have we got that can go for it? Martial and Rashford play on the wings, Ibrahimovic is 34 and Rooney is well Rooney.

We'll look to hit them on the counter or a hopeful ball from Valencia to Ibrahimovic.

Nows the time to change it up a bit and I wouldnt mind seeing the below against City

De Gea

Valencia Smalling Blind Shaw

Carrick

Herrera Lingard

Mikhi Rashford Martial

Have you all realised that pogba was being carried in a world class juve midfeild yet?

He isnt good enough to play as a 10 and he doesnt work hard enough to play as a cm. Reminds me of yaya toure of recent years.

What a waste of 100m

Try to not concede, by having 6 attack minded players in front of the defence? I assume this is supposed to be amusing.

It's a cup game against our rivals. A 0-0 draw won't get us through unless our plan is to bore them to death and win on pens.

Let's have a bleeding go at them. City aren't that great either. And their defence is certainly their worst area of team so it only makes sense to try and exploit it

If we sit back, we'll lose anyway. Nothing to lose.

With Jose everything is to lose.
