I agree. Martial and Rashford are both incredibly inconsistant but Rashford is on a pretty good scoring run currently and they desperately need Martial's movement in final third. James has adapted well to the premier league. It's similar to what we used to have with Young and Gabby but those guys were nulified in many home games. Ultimately though you sit your defence a little deeper and deny them space. The goal they scored v Liverpool was when Liverpool were caught on the halfway line on a counter, Leicester game they just scored a penalty after ten minutes. There's a reason Man. United really struggle to score away from home and at Old Trafford if they're playing someone decent so hopefully we've watched enough of those videos.

Tomaszk Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I think we should attack them to be honest. We can score, not sure we can keep a clean sheet. I can see Marvelous coming in for either Luiz or McGinn. It'll be noticeable how good McGinn is once he's out the side I reckon. A fired up John McGinn coming on at 65 mins when it's 1-1 would be a delight to behold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost worked in those cases, with teams that are able to break down teams at home. If we play like we did at Arsenal, we'd smash United imo. They won't find a way through us if we sit deep and we'll hit them on the counter a couple of times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the modern game a fullback is judged on much more than just defending. Agreed, I think that is true, he is adjusting to his new team, he’s only young, I think he has an awful lot of potential, that’s why Solskjaer paid such a big fee for him. I thought Wan Bissaka was incredible for Palace, that’s why Man Utd paid so much for him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Somewhat Regular Premier League Tidbits We've played Manchester United 48 times in the Premier League for a record of 3 wins, 11 draws & 34 defeats, scoring 0.5625 GPG and conceding 1.8125 GPG with an average of 0.417 points per game. Last time we defeated them at Old Trafford was back in 2009/10 when we won 1-0 thanks to a Gabby Agbonlahor header. It is also our only victory at Old Trafford in the Premier League. Our two wins came at Villa Park back in 1992/93 & 1995/96. I said it last week and I'll say it again, our record against them is **** atrocious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think it's the most winnable of next 3 that said I never expect a win against Manure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 United are nothing special. Bunch of con men wearing a jersey that's legacy was set by great teams they had years ago. We need to go there and have a proper go at them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a dangerous player, i think we are likely to win the game with him in the side than without. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted November 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 29, 2019 I think we'll play the 4-2-3-1, Marvelous back in next to luiz, 3 of hourihane, mcginn and grealish. We need to find the right balance here, too gung ho and we might be a couple down by half time but at the same time we should have a go at this lot. We have the ability to score few ourselves.

They would be top of the league if they could keep up that form; Unfortunately for them they seem to raise their game for the big uns, and I doubt they will see us in that bracket! A newly promoted club at home, they will see this as a banker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
