I dont rate fred and rashford worries me more than Sancho tbf. Shaw and dalot are beatable, albeit shaw is getting forward a lot again (fwet). HTL!!!!

Want a good gane from lonstaff and murphy today. Need them to be on top form!!! would like to see an anderson cameo if poss i.e. 2-0 up

The only worry I have is that their attack is very pacey and our defenders aren’t that quick (not slow either). Draw will suffice for me.

Is antony a winger or a wing back? sorry, just never really paid much attention...

look good on paper and if they work hard (as they have in the last couple) they will be hard to beat... Don´t give that brilcream bassa a chance lads!! I would actually prefer to see martial on the teamsheet than Ronaldo, I think if he gets a half chance he is more likely to bury it.

Found this article in this morning, made me giggle, reminding me of what many of us have done/do... Tweaking of wikipedia accounts, tweeting and re-tweeting etc, to either elevate or devaluate your heroes/villains: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/oct/13/the-amazing-trueish-story-of-the-honduran-maradona-alexander-lopez

Powered by seems like a reasonable middle ground for both the die hards and the progressives…. can’t see any problem as long as the money is right

i also think that anyone outside of manchester would call them manU, I suppose the manks distinguish themselves as city and united, which is fair enough...

I think Eddie has the perfect excuse to makes changes, if he felt he needed an excuse to drop/pick players, that we have three games in one week... We will need to rest and manage players. Joe Linton has to come back into midfield as well as ASM. Longstaff and Murphy are light years away from the level of the former two!!! the only doubt I have is whether Target comes in for Burn. Burn had an "off" game the other day but has been performing well in the back 4/3 (when tripps advances) so I reckon Eddie won´t change the defence. The reason he will change the midfield is that we press harder with big Joe and offer more threat up front with maxi and hence force them to be a bit less offensive down the right flank...

Brentford 1 v 2 Brighton Leicester 0 v 1 Palace Fulham 2 v 1 Bournemouth Wolves 1 v 0 Forest Spurs 2 v 1 Everton Villa 0 v 3 Chelsea (Double) Leeds 2 v 3 Arsenal Man United 1 v 2 Newcastle Southampton 0 v 2 West Ham Liverpool 1 v 3 Man City

Bruce is deffo the worst of the lot of them, proper plastic geordie, always trying to wiggle his way out of taking responsibility and blaming anything and anyone he could. Absolute garbage as a manager! Pardew was second after we got to know the real sneak/creep of a person after the leaks about "the king", his sideline antics and interviews. Kinnear was a joke from minute one and was one of Ashley´s spiteful moments to get one back on us. the rest (Dalgleish, souness, allardice) were just pretty average managers who I don´t think had much interest in us tbh, and us in them obviously!

As was gibbs today. Would have given him 20 mins…

I thought he was awful, wrong decision every time. lingard on the bench surprised me?

I think it´s quite possible we might bring Targett back to counter Antony. Not sure if Burn is the best for rapid opposition players...

If we win/draw against Manu it would be a real milestone, for me it would show that we really are in a place to compete for europa league places. If we are lucky enough to keep the squad fit for the majority of games till the world cup break, i really can see a couple of signings coming in in jan and keeping us ticking over in the top seven/eight.

I agree. But Longstaff for me has been a level much lower than the others, would rather tighten us up and bring maxi back in tbh...

I really hope we don´t keep longstaff in midfield for Manu, he has been making too many mistakes for me and is too slow releasing the ball (gets caught too often), and a midfield of Big joe, willock and Bruno is much more competitive. With regard to Maxi and Murphy; I would rather Maxi was on for 60-70 mins and if we are winning we bring on murphy who is better defensively and can counter if necessary...

I thought Manu looked pretty good last night, but as a caveat Everton were absolute dog-poo. Even Ronaldo did a bit of work for a change. I still think we can match them.

Ooh, have Touched a nerve with that response! Manu really seem worried, not much confidence from any fans I know. we are on the upward trend and Manu seems to be bouncing along without a real certainty to anything…

I am still well up for seventh. We havent really clicked so far I reckon. would love to save a big trouncing for Manu (really annoy me)

He was for me, one of the best players on the pitch today, made defending look easy!!

Big joe for longstaff and maxi for murphy

Longstaff has been very poor, dispossessed a lot and at fault for their nearly goal: lost ball to mbuema then couldnt be arsed to track back with him…

I think we might see the following tomorrow with Maxi a late sub: ———————-pope——————- tripps——schar——botman——-burn ——willock——-bruno——-Joe——- miggy————-wilson————murphy
