Onana Yoro De Ligt Martinez Mazraoui Casemiro Mainoo Dalot Amad Garnacho Hojlund Eriksen might start instead of Garnacho or if Mainoo is injured. Maguire might play over Yoro which I'd see as a mistake as Mazraoui will need Yoro's pace to deal with Gordon. And holy fuck, there is a possibility Antony gets a start at RWB, because of his pace and defensive workrate. In this case Mazraoui would move to RCB.

Today is the day.

Any chance Burn is at left back for this?

Not against Wolves mind. Can't have any complaints losing that game.

The expected points thing was hurled in my direction every weekend under Ten Hag.

Probably the same as the amount of trophies we'll win during his tenure.

Was a good game. I was at it. Drove back to Scotland in great form that night.

That the game we had Casemiro and Evans at centre back and McTominay playing up top? Sackable offence not winning that game like.

If you lose to us on Monday I think serious questions need asked about Howe.

The loan is an obligation. He's a Chelsea player. £25m in the summer.

If you have to ask this, you've not been paying enough attention to have an opinion.

You're the first person on here to say this, so fair play. Turgid against Arsenal and Wolves, and the performance against Ipswich wasn't great. Aside from that we've actually been happy with the performances, just not the results. Frailty from set pieces is something that badly needs addressed though. We concede two goals straight from corners in two consecutive games with two different keepers.

There's no way I said that about Antony, unless I was on the wind up. I knew fuck all about him really. Sancho aye. Believed he was destined for greatness. Very wrong again.

The cost of the squad doesn't mean much does it. Isnt Antony going to the most expensive player between both sides? We're underdogs because we're shite at the minute and you're flying.

Record us a VR painting video please.

People do hate the truth sometimes. Myself included.

He's the complete opposite of Ten Hag in every way mind.

Was I? I'm not sure I was. I hated how much we paid, and while I praised his energy and work rate, I noticed fairly quickly that he was proper shite. He might do OK in a different country where the standard is much worse.

£55m, but Mount is a good player. He's just unlucky. Obviously you can say he's as bad a signing as the others if he just doesn't play, but he's a far better player than Antony with a far better attitude than Sancho. The guy is just made of glass.

Awful signing, but he's far better than Antony still.

£80m and £200k a week? He's the worst by a mile IMO.

With Bruno suspended, it's not even close. Bournemouth were putting three men on him.

I think Ratcliffe would have a fairly big revolt on his hands if this is route he goes down. With the rise in ticket prices, I think you'd see Old Trafford start to empty. This is a coach we've really, really taken to.

His defensive contributions are fairly decent so it makes some sense. He's just awful in general though. This is where we're at. There is possibility of Antony starting which is depressing.

But what are his expectations? This is what we don't know. I know supporters expectations are low. We expect Arsenal to knock us out of the cup, and we know we won't be anywhere near the top 4 in the league. Most of us are hoping for an uptick in form and a reasonable challenge made in the Europa League. Every man and his dog knows that the culture is absolutely fucked at the club as well. A proper deep rot. We need to allow a manager to change it at some point. A manager with unwavering ideas is what we need I think. Anyone who isn't up to it, see you later. I said to mates previously, I'd happily take 14th for a season or two if it meant we cleared out the trash(ford) and reset the wage structure etc. There's £1.5m or so a week in wages being paid for players who either don't play or can't stay fit. It's going to take some time for Amorim to sort that out. Honestly if Ratcliffe sacked Amorim as as quick as he sacked Ashworth, I might just support Newcastle. As Eddie Howe is the kind of manager I've always wanted since Fergie left, and I believe Amorim and Howe are similar in many ways. I'd be beyond gutted.
