Now that the window is shut What team do people think or hope to see v Newcastle?
Personally I'd like to see:
DDG - hasn't done much to warrant dropping this season
AWB - Our best RB even though he's out of form a bit
Maguire - If the Newcastle game was straight after spurs I'd take him out of the firing line a bit. Plays a lot of football and doesn't always get a rest, horribly out of form. Hopefully the change of scenery will allow him to get out of his head (no pun intended) a bit.
Bailly - Needs a run of games
Telles - should be fit enough to start, and Luke Shaw is well out of form.
McTominay - Matic is back to his pre January form, that's not good. McTominay should provide a bit more energy.
Van de Beek - Time he started. Pogba has been garbage the start of this season and his petulance against Spurs is something that would worry me if he starts off badly v Newcastle. Needs to be shown he has competition for his spot.
Fernandes - our best player
Mata - We should have a lot of the ball (in theory), would be more effective than Dan James in that scenario.
Greenwood - With Martial out, time to show what he can do up front.
Rashford - Out of form but still our best option on that side
Team for Newcastle

Think this might just be the game where we have to give Bruno a rest.

(This is of course assuming Cavani is not fit to play)

Doesn't he have to quarantine or something?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
heard that too.
But players are getting tested before each game week. Surely if he has a negative test, quarantine is pointless? He has also already had corona over a month ago.

De Gea
AWB Bailly Maguire Shaw
Matic
Bruno Pogba
VDB
Greenwood Rashford
Should try the diamond

Since we seem to be playing/building through the middle I would like to see a back 3 with Fred and Mct in front. Then play all of vdb Bruno and Pogba in front of them play mata as 10 and greenwood up front.
Or play rashy with greenwood up front
We have the players on the bench to change it up if required
I just think we would control the MF and hold the ball longer in that set up

Maguire is everything that's wrong with our defence. He needs dropping.
Play anyone but Maguire. Same goes for Lindelof.

Why are people still posting that they’re hoping/ expecting to see a 4-3-3 lineup?
3-4-1-2 maybe. The diamond, possibly, at a stretch.
There’s just no way Ole is going to set us up 4-3-3/4-1-2-3. If he was ever interested in trying it, he’d have done it months and months ago.

Yeah mate.
But I'd be happy enough if say it was a back 3 of bailly or AWB with maguire and shaw or telles etc
Similarly mct with matic is cool too
Rashford in front of mata same or behind greenwood or in front of him
It's just so many options
A 3 of Bruno vdb and Pogba interchanging could potentially be really positive for our time on the ball and interlinking play in a free sort of role
Just a suggestion as we don't have wingers and play through the middle anyway.
