Jesus christ!!! Talk about parking the bus

deaddonkey15

Not much pace in that team. A boring and disappointing match in store I reckon. Hope I'm wrong.

ScummyMan

Yeah, we're losing this game. Carrick and Rooney in midfield won't end well.

DM_7

Jaysus.

United need to buy two more midfield players.

Im counting Carrick as a slightly advanced Centre Half in this one.

Mars Bar

I look at it as a back 3 rather than a back 5!

4-0 spurs

S.M.B.

Rashford to come on for the last 30 minutes \o/

I hope it's like that but fear it's not.

Wouldn't be surprised if lingard is rwb and Jones in midfield

Rossi IRL

Was a real chance to give some youngsters a chance either starting or from the bench.

Dissapointed to see Mata starting and Rashford/Herrera on the bench. They should be wrapped in cotton wool.

Instead we go for a 5 at the back with 5 center backs and Rooney.

Mantis Toboggan

Very hard to see anything but a defeat. I'd expect us to keep it tight early and play for the draw but spurs will open us up eventually and that will be that.

ShaneU

Bus parking time unfortunately looking at that lineup

Bleating Lamb

Would say that Martial and Lingard will hopefully put in decent performances today to try and win a starting spot for Europa final.

2-1 to United. Come on lads, gotta have faith!

Mata hasnt played fek all after injury he has chance to get match sharp over bext 3 games and be an option for the final. Mitchell is also on the bench so there is two kids to bring on and another starting I've no issues with the selection really.

Quandary

I'd be shocked to see Utd win today. A draw is plastered all over this game, failing that, a Spurs win.

Liam McPoyle

It's essentially a dead rubber match so its a pity more youngsters weren't given the nod.

I'd imagine given results elsewhere there will be a lot of peckers up so the match thread should be a bigger cess pool than normal too.

wanderer100

Just can't see a United win with that line up. We're gonna need some outstanding individual performances to get anything from this game

It strikes me he's giving a few people a chance to audition for the EL final tbh.

Son Of A Vidic

With the way results have gone, a top four finish is not happening. So I'm not bothered about line ups, formations or tactics for the rest of the season. Having the strongest & healthiest team ready for the EL has to be the priority now.

Mantis Toboggan

Fair enough resting players next week but I thought we should have put out our full team. We probably still get beat but parking the bus is just so disheartening.

Mantis Toboggan

Love to see us ruin Levy's party.

JamboMac

Will we really push to win, with Liverpool basically taking it out of our hands. I'd say they will conserve energy and leave it up to Arsenal and Liverpool for 4th.

This is it exactly. Ajax have no more ganes after this weekend we need our first 11 to be as fresh as possible I couldn't care less about the 3 league games it be nice to win them test but final is the important game.

jayo26

Infairness the shape of the team is similar to the chelsea game i think it will probably be 3412.

Sky have tuanzebe in midfield but.i doubt that he is a defender from anytime I seen him.

Edit: what would I know

At a guess, he'd rather play them once a week so he wants them to play the next game, instead of having ten days between games.

GSPfan

1-0 down already. Ah well.

Love the white socks and shorts combo.

Headshot

****ing awful by Rooney.

But its very typical

Rossi IRL

1st of many goals today

AidoEirE

Wow that was easy, Rooney knowhere near it.

Quandary

Appalling defending for Rooney to give him a free header. Even though this game doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, it is going to leave a bad taste in the mouth.

shane.

It's gonna be a long afternoon chasing shadows I think

secman

6th place is a pathetic return from this squad, b rated trophies my arse oh special one.
Relegation form on the run in.

If only it was 1 game, unfortunately it's been nearer 18 to 20 games !

wanderer100

Our defence is just tragic. Smalling, Jones, Blind all average. Carrick and Rooney are done

pjohnson

Poor Tuanzebe. This experience isn't gunna be much use to the fella.

Mantis Toboggan

We're like lambs to the slaughter.

Match thread infested with Pool fans already jumping as if they've won the league

Its closest they get to a trophy. Dear god don't summon them here.

Be interesting to see how many players playing today are at the club next season. With the exception of Bailly, many will be lucky to be bench players, and may only survive cause we can't cull the lot of them.

That was their cup final today.

Top 4 is about the most they can wish for so not surprised their delighted.

This game sums up why Jones Smalling cannot play against Ajax

Quandary

Game is panning out as expected so far.

Unfortunately we don't have any other options

Mantis Toboggan

Smalling and Jones need to be cut loose for next season.
