Why?
Our front 3 will obviously be the one that finished on Saturday. Why would Trent be played out of position as a youngster when we have Origi?

TAA finished the game as part of the front 3, he came on for Coutinho and played on the wing. He's arguably more adept as a winger than a fullback too.

He played right midfield as part of a 4411 not right forward as part of a front 3, and I'd have no problem him coming on to solidify that side again if we're protecting a lead but the amount of fans calling for him to start in Mane's spot as a like for like is ridiculous.
He's arguably more adept in his natural centre mid box to box role. He's definetly not more adept as a winger then a full back however

I'd have Ojo over TAA in RW.......and Firmino, Coutinho and Origi as a starting front 3.......

BorneTobyWilde

When Origi was starting he was on a good run of goals and games, he comes on and scores on Saturday too. I think he deserves to start, whether it's through middle or on either side.

BorneTobyWilde

Origi can play with both left and right foot, and can play either side of Firmino if need be.

Everton will crumble, United will win by 2......

Everton will **** up, they always do.

Yeah, we shouldn't get complacent here. Even if Everton win, I wouldn't put it past Giggs to get United on a run of wins to the end of the season.

I did something similar on Saturday. I had twelve pints on board by then, mind.

I know Everton were a bunch of ***** at the weekend but after some reflection they're a great bunch of lads altogether.

Osmosis Jones

United drawing is still a brilliant result for us, and there's a bonus of getting to see victory snatched away from Everton in the dying minutes.

ShamoBuc

Utd drop 2 points.....Williams gets sent off....happy with that.

Any kind of a win tomorrow Please!

Doesn't matter, would have taken that result at that start.

What I can't work out is how Utd fans say how poor Liverpool are whilst Liverpool brushed Everton aside at the weekend and Utd scraped a draw against them.

What does that mean?

NukaCola

Draw still a good result........

Gbear

Not much use to the mancs that.

With the two fairly dreadful games in hand they have it really is own goal territory for us to fail to make top 4 now.

Keeper would have saved it if Williams didn't throw himself at it, the big eejit.

That they never wanted to beat Everton in the first place.

They have a manager who has no ambition or aspiration in the football he plays, pays no heed to the future and only thinks of what he can buy to win games in the present.

They're a fairly young team with a lot of talent.

I actually hope that he does stick around for a bit because by alienating all the talented young players they have in Martial, Rashford and replacing them with soon to be over the hill mega-stars who might get one successful season, he'll doom them for another 5 years after.

I think he'll be poison for the future of that club. Long may he reign in mediocrity.

They've needed a long term project, patience and a forward thinking manager, and instead they've hired a string of regressive managers and tried to buy their way around it.

Wouldn't be getting too carried away with the United result. Think of all their games in hand.

I fear plenty of twists and turns to come in this race for top four, exiting but yet terrifying.

They don't look like winning any game at the moment. Let alone any games in hand. One of which is away to City.

Maybe they'll turn it on but their fixtures are horrible. It would take some turnaround for them to suddenly start beating the likes of City, Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea, etc.

Our injuries are my biggest fear right now.

Handball, surely?

5starpool

Just checking the league table there and they have only 3 home games left from their last 9 which is mad. Given the way results have been, it's probably a good thing for them, although given 3 of those away games are at Spurs, Man City and Arsenal maybe not so much. Also Chelsea to play at home as well.

If they get top 4 it'll be because they have really earned it or because us and to a lesser extent Arsenal have really messed up.

Which is why the linesman was furiously flagging and standing over the ball I'd say.

That's what I thought, but wasn't sure. Didn't watch the game.

Turn up the volume on the clip and you can almost hear the cogs of his brain whirr as he tries to figure out what to do next.

5 wins from 8 will do for top 4. 74 pts should be enough.

BorneTobyWilde

I'm still aiming for second and to be within 7 of Chelsea come end.

Spurs away to Swansea tomorrow who are fighting for their wives to survive ,

Would like to see Spurs lose tomorrow.

Ye I'm worried aswell but we are very good at home . Even without mane we didn't play well against Swansea and we should have won and scored 2 the other home game in that period was against Chelsea. The problem back then was the away games were we looked toothless. If we could win our 4 home games and pick up 3 or 4 pts away it will be enough.

If we can win our 4 home games we're in great shape. I'm far more worried than I should be though about it all. I'd love a lot of the stress to be taken out if it by us winning our next 2 and Arsenal losing the next 2 and Utd losing at the weekend (fat chance, away to Sunderland). Obviously won't happen that way though.

I'm not going to make any points predictions but I hope we start with 3 points tomorrow night and take it from there.

Of course we do.

We aren't (despite your madcap notions) catching Chelsea, and also, I REALLY don't want Spurs to win the league. Chelsea aren't a club I like, but with Conte they are more palatable.

Draw would be the best result. Keep spurs interested they have to play utd and arsenal and keeps city under pressure they have to play utd. It will also keep the pressure on Chelsea who play utd soon.

But I only want us to win.
Lets say this is a blip for Chelsea, and they lose to City at home, then draw at Bournemouth and follow it up with a loss away to United.
If we win the 3 games we play in that time we are within 2 points of them with 5 to play for us.
Of course I would like Spurs to lose games too.

Tomorrow really is a massive game for the season, I'll be a nervous wreck watching it!
