Team for tonight/predictions 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇩🇪

I’d start with your team and just bring Beekers on early in the second half around 60mins.

2-0 United

I have a feeling Cavani will start. He looked sharp and tenacious on Saturday and Ole would have been loving his movement.

---------------------DDG------------------
AWB - Tuanzebe - Lindelof - Shaw
------------Matic - Pogba---------------
----------------Beekers------------------
---Greeenwood - Cavani - Martial---

Henderson, Tuanzebe, Telles, VDB and Greenwood should start.

DDG
Tuanzebe Maguire Shaw
AWB DVB McT Telles
Bruno
Martial Rashford

if we are playing with 3cb's I dont think we need 2 defensive minded cm's in there... RB do not have the fire power thwey did last season

Same team as yours, bring on vdb when the clock strikes the 89th minute to rile the mob

A draw tonight is now a decent result after the PSG game however a win almost puts one foot in the knockouts.

Come on United!

I think all three non Istanbul clubs will get 6 points out of them so there is a mini league of 3 teams to get to the knockout rounds.

I believe Telles hasn't trained for a few days. AWB reportedly absent too yesterday.

Perhaps. But they do look awful.

To be fair it would be just like us to get 12 points from PSG and Leipzig and nothing from Istanbul

posted on 28/10/20

DDG
Tuanzebe Maguire Shaw
AWB Telles
Fred Pogba

Bruno

Martial Rashford

Do we just wipe our memories after every match?

We win the games we are not favourites for as we can usually sit back and counter and the players are more up for it because there is less pressure and they will be heroes if they get a result.

We struggle against lesser teams as we can't break them down and all the pressure is on our players.

Wait scrap all that, we just win if we get pens.

Resting Marcus and Bruno may not be a bad idea, would maybe play Telles (if available) instead of Shaw if Cavani is starting.

I won't pretend to know how RB play so can't make any solid predictions but what I do hope is that whoever is in the XI they're instructed to play with energy and aggression and asked to move the ball quickly. If we do that then that gives us the best platform to win IMO.

Ole is going to have to rest the likes of Bruno/Rashford at some point, they shouldn't be starting every game. He will need to rotate Pogba, VDB, Bruno and Rashford/Martial/Cavani/Greenwood.

Apparently RB play a 3412 so we could well try to match them up.

If AWB and or Telles are out I'd play Mct on the right of the 4 and Williams on the left with Fred and VDB in midfield and Bruno in the 1. Cavani and Martial leading the line (to give Rashford a break)

posted on 28/10/20

Or Pogba next to Fred and VDB instead of Bruno. Ole needs to trust his squad I feel.

posted on 28/10/20

I'd be interested to see Pogba and Fred paired... I'm sure it's happened, but the vast majority of Pogba's games have been with the less tenacious Matic. Having Fred's mobility should help Pogba in that role.

You do feel that Pogba needs legs next to him to get the best from him.*

*I do realise though that it's getting/has got to the stage where we may have to come to terms with the fact Pogba presents us with as many problems as solutions such is the need to get players in to 'get the best out of him'.

posted on 28/10/20

Still think a diamond is the best option and also with inevitable rotation gives Fred, Pogba and VDB more starts.

Base : Matic, McT, Fred as required
Middle two: Pogba, VDB, Fred, McT if needed
Tip: Fernandez, Pogba, VDB, Mata as required

—————

Traditionally, they defend the right flank, but in the modern game are increasingly expected to get forward and provide assists or even goals.
