Saint Matty 76

Gunn Valery Bednarek Yoshida Bertrand Hojbjerg Lemina JWP Armstrong Redmond Ings Always like the look of this on paper but really feel like we struggle without Romeu in the side. Wouldn't mind a 4312 set-up with JWP making way.

Long absolutely brilliant today.

Sitting back way too much here.

Like the team, little worried to see how we'll do without Romeu in there though. Would've preferred him in over JWP if we're going for the 5-2-3/3-4-3.

James, Bowen, Maupay, Wakins and Adams are all a step in the right direction in regards to transfer policy I think, would be nice to get a couple of them in.

Definitely bottling this now, prove me wrong please Stephens!

I'd happily take two if they're available. Can't DM on here though.

...shut up you idiot.

Seen better starts.

Since 13/14, only City have a better record at Old Trafford than we do.

I've changed my mind about 20 times on what I'd like to see from the line-up tonight. I THINK this is what I want. Gunn Valery - Yoshida - Bednarek - Bertrand Romeu - Hojbjerg Ward-Prowse - Armstrong Austin - Redmond Not sure he'll drop Vestergaard though so I'd be fine with him in over Yoshida. Biggest problem with that is the glaring lack of pace other than Redmond.

Surprise, surprise. No sign of Ings in any of the training photos. Bertrand looking involved and Austin is the first photo in the gallery, not sure if that holds any relevance.

Hope there's some strange break clause that means we don't have to buy him if he doesn't play a certain amount of games or something.

A Guan/kbilly update wouldn't go amiss right now...

Would be nice. You did claim we'd signed Schurrle and Promes though so doubting it.

He's been utter **** for a long time and I've been looking forward to moving him on but despite that, letting him go now without replacing him until the Summer is a proper backwards move. Seems a little arrogant to me.

Loan with no obligation to buy and we're not even replacing him? Can't see any benefit to doing this when we're in the position we're in.

You say that but these Maehle links have been pretty strong. Could easily be a case of him being ready for the second Cedric goes.

Both the Jans excellent recently, Romeu MOTM though today. Unbelievable.

Best part is it wasn't even going in. Gonna need Long massively to chase everything down this second half. Point would've been okay pre-match but would be very disappointing now, even with Valery being a ****wit.

Long has been absolutely awful apart from winning the penalty. Hope this makes us realise that we need to get a striker in ASAP.

Shame that Haller is probably out of our reach now. Having a brilliant season with Eintracht.

Bertrand in for Valery, Lemina in for Romeu and Hojbjerg in for JWP. Would that actually be our best team with this squad?

I've always liked McCarthy but he's been at fault for 4 goals in the past 3 games now. Not ideal with a £15m keeper sitting about.

The fact that he even tries to go down there instead of just having a free shot from about 6 yards out sums him up. Absolutely useless, can we just give up on him now?
