Chicken Dancer Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 We absolutely can batter them but they absolutely can get a result too, surprised to see they've only conceded 16 away from home all season. Scoring early (and first) is absolutely crucial. It could be a long day for them if we can get a goal in the first 20. That being said, I always hate playing this lot, despite doing relatively OK against them in recent years. Definitely think the kick off time helps us - it should be a belting atmosphere.

Onana Dalot Mazraoui Maguire Lindelof Dorgu Ugarte Eriksen Mount Fernandes Zirkzee Maybe something like that, with subs like Casemiro, Shaw, Hojlund, Mainoo etc. being used early to keep legs fresh. No idea how he'll look at it though. Edited April 11 by Froggy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 My main hope is that Shaw and Mount play at least 45 minutes each and get through it without injury as I'd love them to be fully fit for next Thursday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernandes and Mount are machines at tracking back so it would morph into a 4, especially when you have the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) We are obviously the far better team but they have frustrated the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal with a low block which is what they will try and do to us. We have struggled at home to teams like West Ham , Brighton and Fulham this season when they have done similar to us so it could be a long afternoon trying to break them down . The fact Man United feel the need to play that way tells you how bad they are but that's a different story . Edited April 11 by Geogaddi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 16 minutes ago, JP said: Eriksen Ugarte in a 2 facing up Bruno Joelinton Tonali please let it happen Would be stronger than last game when they fielded Eriksen and Casemiro tbf . Still, not the part of the field they'll win the game unless their defenders have learnt how to step up and support their midfield by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he great at tracking back and intercepting? I don’t feel like he was at Chelsea at all but I didn’t watch them religiously Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Some tidbits from Tindalls Presser: Gordon with a late fitness test to "See if he's ready for the bench". Willock is still out as they continue to observe concussion protocols. Isak has trained all week and will be fit for Sunday. Howe has been bed ridden for several days.
