[Rob Dawson] Would expect Man United to start with Rashford, Garnacho and Hojlund against Aston Villa today. Ten Hag’s preferred front three. Would be the first time they’ve all started together this season.

    Apparently Maguire-Evans CB

    Dalot Evans Maguire Mazraoui

    Case Eriksen

    Bruno

    Garnacho Hojlund Rashford

  2. So zero goals because they’re too-stretched, no support for the full backs because they don’t track back, and a void in the middle because he’ll play Bruno in this batshit “no CM” setup.

    Vibes

  3. I know we were shit at Porto but Garnacho was such a threat in the second half when we were chasing. Dangerous every time he had the ball. Would be mad not to start him today.

  4. I prefer the setup when Amad starts. Better pressing, more passing and more possession. If it’s Rashy and Garnacho we already know we are going to give Villa the ball and just try and counter.

    de Ligt and Licha rightfully benched but fuck me didn’t expect our season to be this shit that we play Maguire – Evans against Villa

  6. So, I know ETH will blather about ‘rotation’ but, in what is another ‘must win’ game, is he already saying De Ligt, Ugarte and Zirkzee aren’t good enough to be starters? Last season the excuses were about ageing players and injuries, we have new players and less injuries but he’s largely reverted to a core of players who were considered disposable or stop gaps last season.

  7. Shit front three. Not one of them has a good first touch or the ability to keep the ball. We’re just going to be dominated and consistently turn the ball over.

    The sooner this manager fucks off the better.

  8. Amads better than Garnacho on the right frot sure

    Garnacho offers little apart from counter attack, which is better when the game is stretched coming on as a substitute

  9. No player in the front 4 is comfortable with the ball…. ETH hasn’t learnt anything from his previous matches. Not started Amad would be a mistake

    Are you telling me we might see a foot race between Johnny Evans and Ollie Watkins? God help us.

  11. Chaos ball attack. Might work if Bruno finds his passing range even 20% of the time today against Villa’s high line.

  12. There is a reason it hasn’t been played this season, and that’s because it was played most of the last and was incredibly predictable and easily dealt with. Lock down Bruno so he can’t hit it long whilst taking one of many opportunities you’ll be given as utd sit deep to counter.

    He must know he won’t keep his job playing this way as he has an entire season of data to show that. Need to be brave and drop the one-dimensional players to facilitate better football. Sabotaging the entire team to accommodate Bruno and Raahfords preferred style looks even worse when they’re not firing.

  13. I think Amad will suit Hojlund better personally but let’s see if we can stop being shit today. Happy to see Evans in the team.

    Ten Hag will be gone after this, and based on the rumoured starting 11 it seems like he’s trying to be sacked, genuinely shocking decision making

    The front 3 is one thing, rashford should absolutely start to keep his momentum, I personally think we’ve played worse everytime Zirkzee hasn’t played but we do need goals here and nobody does that like Hojlund

    Garnacho should not be starting, Amad fits the possession style of play much better, which is what we try to do, it hasn’t worked amazingly but throwing Garnacho in isn’t going to improve it at all

    Bruno shouldn’t start, he’s all over the place, but it’s expected, he’ll start everytime no matter how bad he’s playing

    Casemiro and Eriksen is a risky duo considering they’re both old and struggle to run that long, they’ve both also made mistakes leading to goals this season, but Mainoo and Mount are injured and Ugarte isnt good enough at keeping possession so i understand choosing Case and Eriksen over him

    And lastly are we seriously starting Maguire and Evans, I mean De Ligt and Martinez haven’t been great but really? Maguire and Evans won’t play any better
