Olé saying Fred was injured during the week and happy enough to be benched. H'mm.....

Pogba pretty much saying in the pre-match interview that he doesn't want to play on the left

Like the rest of us so!

We need to start this game well (which we do so rarely).

Not seeing too much on the bench to change it around attack-wise 2nd half if needed.

Amad and James can't really be considered genuine game changers.

But it's a brave selection. And let's hope the midfield gamble works out.
Scott McT will be covering an awful lot of ground tonight!

Pipmae

Fabulous stadium isn't it. World class.

The Big Easy

You'd love to think if you threw Bruno and Pogba into the team together as two 8s they could figure it out and compliment each other.

I'd love to see it tried for a run of games, we need a top-class DM behind them though, but with their quality and combativeness, you'd like to think they could not just make it work, but turn it into a strength of the team.

PARlance

The only downside of starting our best attacking players is not having one of them on the bench... It'll be interesting to see how the bench is used late on if it's a tight game.

Think so yeah.

billyhead

Right lads. I'm going for a 2 nil win.

Pipmae

I'm going 3-1 to us with Villa Real to score first. :eek: Then Bruno, Cavani and Greenwood, not necessarily in that order.

xtal191

4-1 win

wanderer100

Up to the players now to perform. I'm feeling confident. 3-1 United

py2006

Score predictions??

It's a bold move if true, and I like it.
(Lots of questions as to why it wasn't tried more throughout the season though)

Because Pogba is incredibly unreliable in a midfield 2 ?

I'm optimistic he'll raise his game tonight but is there really a question that hasn't been answered over the past 4/5 years ?

Zeek12

Always love us playing in black & red.

Good omen I hope!

Bein 1 for me, great build up and proper football discussion between Domi and DeJong.

py2006

A lot of folk very confident of a good result here..

Loafing Oaf

Greenwood telling McT to slip it right there:p

Mars Bar

McTominay needs to be w at least hitting the target there

El Gato De Negocios

Good start from us, lots of movement.

KH25

How is that not a free kick for Rashford?

Hotblack Desiato

Why didn't we get the free there? :rolleyes:

fergiesfolly

Corners give me the terrors these days

wanderer100

Can’t look at the tele while we defend set pieces

luketitz

Tenner says that if we lose this, it'll be Bailly's fault.

Whatsisname

No rhythm to this match. Very stop start.

py2006

Why is your man wearing a strapping around the forehead when his nose in bleeding?

Mr.Crinklewood

Ref letting loads go ( from both sides)

On a plane to dubai then New Zealand with wife and kids how are we doing? Crating much ?

El Gato De Negocios

Seriously fcuking love Cavani.

KH25

That was some lovely control from Greenwood.

Mars Bar

Rashford has become less and less convincing in a 1v1...

Most possession so far, no real chances.

scuffed shot from McT, and cross shot from Shaw

Whatsisname

The pitch looks so slow.

El Gato De Negocios

Even with such a small crowd the difference in the atmosphere is unreal. I hope to never hear canned crowd noise again in my life.

S.M.B.

If only Bruno could have reacted quicker to that Shaw shot /cross.

Zeek12

What a ball from Greenwood!

Cavani should've made more of it

PsychoPete

Thought Cavani would have tried to smash that one

El Gato De Negocios

What a facking ball from Mason.

Weepsie

I had entirely forgot about Carlos Bacca. He used to be a thoroughly entertaining watch

Liam O

Pogba and De Gea doing their best to help out Villarreal the last few mins

FourFourRED

Very shaky the last few minutes. Need a calming influence from somewhere

FourFourRED

Balls….
