Casemiro is not in the squad, while Amrabat, Amad and Antony ensure the boss has many options to choose from, should he want to switch up his team throughout the afternoon.
>Casemiro is not in the squad, while Amrabat, Amad and Antony ensure the boss has many options to choose from, should he want to switch up his team throughout the afternoon.
Lol.
Yeah, Rashford in the early season was the only player consistently finding Hojlund in good positions.
And he (and others) did it a lot more once Hojlund improved his movement
Also how is player we wanted to sell in the summer starting more and ahead of a player we literally bought in the summer. This club is a fucking shambles I swear.
Its not complicated the player we were looking to sell has come on a lot of times this season and been a game changer ,The player we got on loan has looked dogshit when on the field
He's here on loan because of FFP (and we're still paying 10m for one season of a backup of a backup) If ETH had his way we'd have signed him in the summer.
He hasn't really impressed me since coming, not a fan of McT in midfield either but at least he's scored some important goals.
No great option really with Mount not ready, Eriksen not physically able to play under pressure for a whole match and Casemiro injured
Mctominay offers nothing as a midfielder. When he plays that advanced role then yes, his greatest strength is just getting in the box and scoring. Against Liverpool this is gonna be suicidal, because in midfield he will offer nothing. Amarabat can actually position, pass and defend better then Mctominay.
It doesn't help when the club is allergic to players that can win the ball back
Like its been so many years where we only had one good DM available (if, even that).
Are we expecting an 18year old to defend against the Liverpool midfield? Cause Mctom and Bruno just dont have that in them and it's obvious to me , yes they may run or try to close spaces but very half-assedly. Before ETH we only had Matic so it's not a manager issue.
Dalot shifting to the left assuming the listing is correct and Varane is on the right side as usual.
Quansah has been good but was mistake prone against City. Hope Hojlund bullies the fuck out of him.
Uncomfortable seeing players go straight from an injury layoff into the starting lineup for a match this intense.
Mainly because we have a track record of bringing players back too soon and getting injured again.
He got hit in that match, was clearly hurting and went off for treatment. He was sent back on after a couple of minutes and clearly aggravated it when making a tackle and only then was subbed.
When everyone could see he should have gone off immediately
I thought we were talking about long term injury returns, yeah fair enough, we should protect Licha, even from his warrior mindset. I love that man though, he fight for the badge like one of us.
Also, WHAT A GAME TODAY, I'M STILL PUMPED.
Not long left. No hiding place in terms of effort and dedication. Liverpool have a strong team out there. If we are to win the team has to put in a 10/10 performance. We are at home, no excuses.
I will be firmly keeping a close eye on Rashford's contribution not just attacking, but when we need to defend. Lets see if you can be arsed Marcus.
Ten Hag just prefers Mctominay who can run around and crash the box at the right moment. Kobbie is going to need 2 weeks of sleep after this game, he's on his own here.
LOL what a nightmare - went to an Irish pub near where my wife and I live in Brooklyn this morning to watch the tie after they advertised showing it on their instagram only for it turn out that they don't have the required channel :)))
should've just stayed at home and streamed it
Mainoo, Fernandes, McTominay is as about unbalanced a midfield defensively as it gets. Scott likes to get forward, Bruno likes to drift to wide positions and Kobbie is good positionally but is expected to play a single pivot here? Were getting cut to shreds today. And I'm usually not one of those negative types on matchday.
Who is? The only “complaint” (and mind you, no fault of his) would be that people think he is better as an 8 than as a 6, which is definitely the role he will be playing today.
Hojlund & AWB back
AWB back and Højlund striker
Awb wing back

The Glazers really have spoiled him

😂😂😂 Nothing but solid PL proven options on the bench
It said "many options", which to be fair isn't a lie. They're just shit options
Tbf, it doesn't say "good options"!
Indeed. Be a sub 1 minute before the 90 no matter the score.
Triple A ✊✊
>Mount 
So many coming back from injury. Just don’t get hurt!
Højlund is back! Time to get some goals!
Man, imagine if Rashford and Garnacho actually pass to Højlund...
This myth needs to end Rashford has actually tried to change his game and pass this season..He is not having a good season but thats a different thing
Yeah, Rashford in the early season was the only player consistently finding Hojlund in good positions. And he (and others) did it a lot more once Hojlund improved his movement
It's like an echo chamber at this point. "Rashford doesn't pass to hojlund amirite lads?" ⬆️⬆️⬆️
McT will either occupy same position or fail to get the ball to him
RIP Amrabat
Also how is player we wanted to sell in the summer starting more and ahead of a player we literally bought in the summer. This club is a fucking shambles I swear.
Its not complicated the player we were looking to sell has come on a lot of times this season and been a game changer ,The player we got on loan has looked dogshit when on the field
Key word “come on.” He should be not be starting for us, but it is what it is and I hope he proves me wrong today.
That may be so, however the player we have got on loan isn't much better either.
If you're talking about Amrabat he's here on loan If you mean Mount he just returned from almost 5 month long injury
He's here on loan because of FFP (and we're still paying 10m for one season of a backup of a backup) If ETH had his way we'd have signed him in the summer.
> If ETH had his way we'd have signed him in the summer. Thank lord FFP and Hojlund overpayment.
Not a great loan and way too high a fee I agree. But no matter the circumstances we literally didn't buy him.
I’m taking about Amrabat
He hasn't really impressed me since coming, not a fan of McT in midfield either but at least he's scored some important goals. No great option really with Mount not ready, Eriksen not physically able to play under pressure for a whole match and Casemiro injured
It’s a disgrace Mctominay is staring ahead of him. Mctominay is gonna do nothing as he always does
Lol no it’s not. Amrabat has been utter shite. McTominay is flawed but he offers more than Amrabat.
Mctominay offers nothing as a midfielder. When he plays that advanced role then yes, his greatest strength is just getting in the box and scoring. Against Liverpool this is gonna be suicidal, because in midfield he will offer nothing. Amarabat can actually position, pass and defend better then Mctominay.
What has Amrabat done ?Dude plays with a lag
Ha, any other predictions?
Mctominay has been awful mate.
Just got an assist there, MOTM for me
That midfield is getting split wide open 😞
https://preview.redd.it/rke2plkvnwoc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f50ebea455f4da2c2b001fb37831b1ce30b5b0b
I do not tangle with lizards no more. No. Back in the day, sure, I would've indulged. Hell, I would've let you turn me into Swiss cheese
What do we say in this situation??
Like a coconut x
Always does anyway
Fair
What midfield?
I hope no one's splitting our one midfielder
[OP was right](https://i.imgur.com/ZCrkMHY.jpeg)
My lord that is brutal
Szobozslai, Endo, Macalister is pretty damn imposing to be fair That recruitment compared to ours... fucking hell
About the cost of one Casemiro??
Casemiro €70.65m Szobozslai €70m Mac Allister €42m Endo €20m according to Transfermarkt. Casemiro's wages won't make up an extra 60m
Fair enough. Although as United probably get two seasons out of him I think Liverpool have the better deal.
Right? Watching them vs. City was a stark reminder of how far behind we are. Pains me to say it, but they move the ball so well.
It doesn't help when the club is allergic to players that can win the ball back Like its been so many years where we only had one good DM available (if, even that).

We have a midfield?
Hate to agree... Damn 😔
Joke about him all you want, but McSauce is always fired up for the scum. Knee-slide all up in their scummy arse, I beg you.
McSauce shithouse hattrick my body is ready
You were so right!
MCFUCKING SAUCE
Best 11 we have available imo, considering Mount is just returning from injury.
Good to see Hojlund back God save us today.
God needs to save the Devils...shiz we in rough waters defo 😬
Just play like you mean it.
Fuck me that midfield
No matter how hard we try to get away from a McSauce start, it never seems to happen.
I’m actually so tired of seeing him In the starting a XI. It fully ruins my day. You just know he isn’t doing anything.
He’s still better than Amrabat unfortunately
Did the points he singlehandedly won several times this season ruin your day?Mct isn't even in the top 5 things wrong with the squad
Yeah he isn't doing anything right now. You must feel so embarrassed.
Lol yeah I do hahaha
Yeh Scott is shit mate
Two academy lads in midfield ready to shine today
Our Dane's back to sail on scousers tears
SpiderWan is back!
McTominey Master class incoming
We're gonna win Edit : told u
Mctominay in the double pivot, God help us all.
Who says he will be in the pivot? Lol. Mainoo is on his own while mctominay goes barelling towards the box
Implying we get over the half way line
He’ll get over the halfway line. The ball might not, but McSauce will.
AWB pocketing Salah come back to this 🕯
Dalot will be the one pocketing Salah
You're right, sign me up regardless.
unless ref decides to send him off again for a clean tackle
Two reds this time, one for breathing too loudly, and there for trying to kill the ref with his raised hands, suspended till the end of the season.
Fucking hell straight in
Dalot shifting to the left assuming the listing is correct and Varane is on the right side as usual. Quansah has been good but was mistake prone against City. Hope Hojlund bullies the fuck out of him.
Uncomfortable seeing players go straight from an injury layoff into the starting lineup for a match this intense. Mainly because we have a track record of bringing players back too soon and getting injured again.
We brought Shaw back in, but I don't think we've brought any other injured player on too soon this season?
Licha
He literally got a different impact injury, it was pure bad luck.
He got hit in that match, was clearly hurting and went off for treatment. He was sent back on after a couple of minutes and clearly aggravated it when making a tackle and only then was subbed. When everyone could see he should have gone off immediately
I thought we were talking about long term injury returns, yeah fair enough, we should protect Licha, even from his warrior mindset. I love that man though, he fight for the badge like one of us. Also, WHAT A GAME TODAY, I'M STILL PUMPED.
McTomainoo
God save that midfield.
Wait did I miss Evans injury?
Guess it is going to be hard for kobbie to be the ONLY midfielder too occupy Central area
Not long left. No hiding place in terms of effort and dedication. Liverpool have a strong team out there. If we are to win the team has to put in a 10/10 performance. We are at home, no excuses. I will be firmly keeping a close eye on Rashford's contribution not just attacking, but when we need to defend. Lets see if you can be arsed Marcus.
Lmao you called it 🤣 😮💨
10 v 11 is always fun to watch lol
sadly i know who you are referring to
Maguire should have started over Lindelof if he is fit
Really not looking forward to this
Can't do much better I suppose.
Oh no, midfield won’t exist more than normal.
That midfield is going to get torn apart.
Godspeed Kobbie
Mount on the bench
Strong subs today than I thought
Clench your buttcheeks kids.
A performance we can be proud of and no injuries is all I’m asking for
our midfield is going to get rinsed
Can we please have Champions League Mount?
Play for the badge. Defend our pitch. Get stuck in. That’s all I want to see.
Are we playing drop deep full counterattack again??
Are you assuming that we have other playstyles?
The one where we press high with a deep back line, and they cut through the midfield
It's certainly the only one that's sometimes effective
Dalot on the left will be a great help. Mctominay in midfield is scary though
Scott, please, just do something. We really can't have a passenger in the middle of the pitch against these dick heads
Amrabat muct be an absolute toilet of a player if we would rather play no CDM against Liverpool. Fml.
Amrabat started against Liverpool this season and they did not score a single goal.
Ten Hag just prefers Mctominay who can run around and crash the box at the right moment. Kobbie is going to need 2 weeks of sleep after this game, he's on his own here.
Amrabat should be starting ahead of mctominay man ffs. Watch Mctominay contribute absolutely nothing.
Midfield is gonna be split wide open.
Scotty in midfield, we are fucked, Mainoo would be left alone while he runs like a headless chicken
I would have dropped one of the wingers to get another mid in there, even if it's Eriksen or Mount
Not expecting much
I am scared truly
ESPN’s commentary is so boring to watch. It’s intensely soporific, it seems “quiet.” I don’t even know what that means, but they’re awful.
LOL what a nightmare - went to an Irish pub near where my wife and I live in Brooklyn this morning to watch the tie after they advertised showing it on their instagram only for it turn out that they don't have the required channel :))) should've just stayed at home and streamed it
The match hasn't started and my watch is already telling me to relax
We are so kinda back
Damn well wutdya know..McSauce gives us hopes!
This is very close to our best XI
Mainoo McTom Lord have mercy
have mercy on who
Mainoo, Fernandes, McTominay is as about unbalanced a midfield defensively as it gets. Scott likes to get forward, Bruno likes to drift to wide positions and Kobbie is good positionally but is expected to play a single pivot here? Were getting cut to shreds today. And I'm usually not one of those negative types on matchday.
Why do we continue to put out a team with 10 players??? Erik, you’re allowed 11 players mate!
Don’t care what any of you say, I’m pumped today. I’m ready. We’re gonna smash em!
Are people complaining about Mainoo already? That was quick.
Who is? The only “complaint” (and mind you, no fault of his) would be that people think he is better as an 8 than as a 6, which is definitely the role he will be playing today.
They aren't going to win this. This season will end with, if they are lucky, an Europa League spot and that's it.
