Get the main men off at HT and rest them for the weekend. No point chasing this, we dont want extra time even if we get to 2-2, got bigger things to focus on.

Yes do this. what's more important, CL or fa cup? For us right now, it's CL. 

Sometimes the tactics aren't going to work. 

Chelsea have been shit.. Playing to save managers job.. This is an expected performance

Unai will tweak it half time, but it's more important we beat United. 

Glad I couldn't buy 3 seats together earlier

..... 

When can we send Zaniolo back?

This is like criticising the high line, we deliberately play slow and take risks in possession at the back to get the opposition out of shape...

But now they have learnt this, and don't chase us round so much at the back. 

They keep thier shape, and then we don't knew what to do.

**** hell Unai why o why didn’t you start Bailey?!?

Surley Bailey must have had some kind of injury they were worried about

. But it doesn't look like it at the moment

Can wes and sawaris get the var payment in quick? 

Aghh... Thought it was on

Just try and get some confidence back now

So why is the flag kept down there? Not for us

Bailey must be carrying an injury or something otherwise wtf.

Definitely. The lack of subs etc. 

We don't know what's going on behind the scenes. 

Maybe they only want to risk Bailey for a short time.. 

We are just so predictable. All teams need to do is watch our last couple of games, then know we'll do exactly the same thing against them. 

This could be embarrassing again. 

We've had no attacking threat for 5-6 games now. Too much playing backwards.

Is McCoist a Newcastle fan?

Non-stops rimming them every game I’ve had the misfortune to listen to him commentate for them.

I think he must be on the Saudi payroll one way or the other. 

You wouldn't know there is another team involved.

I know this is probably a joke suggestion but.......in a heartbeat. but could never afford him. he needs to get away from utd - its a toxic relationship.

get the lad a new start elsewhere and he could be brilliant again. just a shame his salary will price him out of 99% of clubs 

Yes it was really, but you never know... Clearly fallen out with Ten Hag, not happy at Utd, location wise we're not too far from Alderly Edge around where  he probably lives.. (Have no idea where he actually lives)..

I agree probably way out of our price range re wages, and probably fee, but loan to the end of the season ? maybe ?

Last minute cheeky bid for Marcus Rashford ?

Whatever makes you happy 

If you're happy with the donc, then fine, but do you really think we'll be getting rodri or de bruyne to pop down to B6 to sit on the bench as backup to Kamara ?

For a short 6 month DM backup till the end of the season, tell me another recent premier league winner and England International that'll come and do that job for us ?

Normally I might have the same view of Henderson as you, but in this particular case , a short term backup, we could do much, much worse.  

We have a particular problem when Kamara is out, and we have seen The Donc doesnt quite cut it.

Don’t know if it’s already been mentioned, but how about Jordan Henderson loan/purchase ? Quality cover for DM, wants out of Saudi…

Before you even take into account Mings and Buendia

Exactly. Add them and it's a full 11!

Things will improve, we're just at the lowest point squad wise at the moment

Think Luiz is under the weather

Looks like it. We just have too many injured/not performing. 

Luiz off form. 

Watkins off form.

Diaby off form.

Zaniolo off form.

Ramsey not come back well (yet) 

Tielemans out. 

Kamara out. 

Pau just back. 

. 

We just don't have the squad to cope with this. 

This was poor giving up the 2-0 lead. Frustrating because we could have won it with a full complement of first team players. 

But we don't really have the depth. 

Those coming in to replace injuries and suspensions just aren't up to it. 

Pau and kamara are so integral to the way we play, when they are out unai doesn't really have the options to make it work. 

Tielemans would normally step in but he's out too. 

Our first 11 and manager can beat anyone.. As we saw with man city and arsenal... A couple of injuries and we struggle. 

The plan still works, we just need to replace the backup. 

Commentators ' hojlund really does belong on the world stage'... 

Scored once. 

There we go. 3-2 coming up.

Yes, I'd take Diaby now. He's not been great of late either but we need something different. 

If nothing else fresh legs for the last 20

Struggling to understand what we are doing here. Luiz and McGinn need to get some control! Miss Kamara and Tielemans here. 

If we had those 2 available, we win this no problem.
