Interesting team.

When was the last time Bruno wasn’t in the starting 11?

Be good to see what that midfield three can do.

Can Amrabat play RB then?

I think Bayindir would have started this game if not for the defensive crisis. It would be too much to drop in a new keeper with such a makeshift backfour. Hopefully he is given future cup games to show what he can do.

ETH said in an interview a few weeks back that he can FB if needed.

Well that isn't a bad thing considering our history with injuries to defenders.

Admin can you make this live please?

Also, I’m hoping Hoijlund has the same affect on Martial as signing a left back did on Shaw.

As frustratingly inconsistent as Marrial can be, on form he’s useful.

Watch Henderson have the game of his life against us.

Nailed on

As our only fit fullback I'm suprised to see Dalot start, though given we're improvising with Amrabat on the other side I'm not sure ETH had much choice there.

Would have been nice to see Bayindir get a debut as well. A lot of top teams commit to using their keeper in cup competitions but I'm guessing with Onana still finding his feet for us, ETH doesn't feel we have the luxury of rotating in that position just yet. Will need to do it though so that Bayindir isn't thrown in for the first time whilst Onana is at the AFCON.

Indeed, when he manages to click he's a defo bonus, sadly it's not often he "clicks"?

That said I really hope he could find some form as at CF we're hardly stacked

Some of this a bit silly from ETH imo.

Onana is going to be away for a month from Jan, and this is conceivably the last chance to give Bayandir some minutes before then before we chuck him in at the deep in. This is really a competition where you need to give your second choice some game time.

Dalot I think needs to be wrapped in cotton wool. If he gets injured we have no full backs left. Would rather have played Lindelof there .

Definitely usefully when fit and firing. Which isn't often

On the flip side, if Martial does find form, he'll immediately get injured

Comfortable win for United here simply based on probability and that results must improve sooner or later. Only way to go is up

So Reguilon is injured, any idea on how bad? Pretty sh-t if he has a hamstring injury as that’s pretty much his loan over.

Good to see Mount back. I dont care about the score, just don’t want any more injuries.

And again, indeed, that has made me vexed with him, not sure if it's simply bad luck or just him being made of wet paper but I'd like to see his fitness record last 5yrs or so?

When are AWB and Malacia back?

Don’t think either are likely back until at least November.

Elvis, unfilter Pun. He loves you.

Not sure but with our luck and injuries atm I'd think about Feb?

Amrabat playing FB, surely wasted there.
