Match Day Thread Atalanta v Manchester United

For the City game, I would like to see this squad of:
……..Bailly, Varane, Maguire…..
AWB, McTominay, Donny, Shaw
……Bruno, Ronaldo or Sancho……
.……..Cavani or Ronaldo……..

Sancho is a creative force that needs to be unleashed. He has amazing footballing brains with his decision making. But we have yet to play to his strength. Donny will have better energy about him to come in and be dynamic ahead of Fred.

We need to really take City on for that match.

 

I'm going to assume Varane will be out for this, but, how about;



..............................................de Gea

.........................AWB.............Maguire..............Bailly...
Sancho..................................................................................Shaw

.................McTominay...........Fernandes...........DVDB (far more likely to be Fred)

.....................................Ronaldo
........................................................Cavani

 

We’ve been able to beat them only through solid rear guard action. Taking them on without Varane and with Maguire on such poor form is inviting a similar rout to two weeks ago. We are simply too easy to attack by a good disciplined side. Keep it tight at the back and fingers crossed CR and Cavani can do the business at the front. Keep no or smallest gaps between midfield and the defence line. Palace have shown how to do it. And take our chances when they present.

 

You and Diego are intent on labelling everything on the players

We played sideways dross under Van Gaal and that was his fault. But if we're doing it now it's not bcos of Ole , but bcos not enough leaders to inspire them? Lol Ok.
