Davkaus Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 17 minutes ago, HKP90 said: If Gerrard had played the team Emery put out last Sunday we'd have lost. I thought the whole point of this was that the tactics and coaching can elevate our existing squad. Otherwise, why did we change the manager, and why have I been reading 50 bloody pages on the Emery thread banging on about tactics? I don't disagree - I just do disagree that it's a good side. Hopefully it is good enough to get the job done I guess the crux of the disagreement might be how seriously people think we ought to take the league cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I think a few will want to impress Emery tonight, so expect a decent performance. Going to say a 2-1 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted November 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2022 To be honest, I think the league and not getting relegated is our priority… so I’m with a lower strength side 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) The european qualification through the league cup is a bit shit tbf, I believe you have to play qualifying games first to then possibly go into the conference league group stages. FA cup winners go directly to the group stage, and in the Europa league instead of the conference.

Clearly hasn't watched McGinn play this season has he. That said he's further forward tonight so hopefully we get the John of old back.

They have gone strong to save face I reckon as 2 losses in a row against us would not be palatable for their self righteous fanbase. Oh well the important one was on Sunday in reality. The fa cup is still there. ? They've benched/rested De Gea, Shaw, Martinez, Erikssen and Casemiro. Thats the spine of their team. They are probably stronger upfront than at the weekend, mostly as no Ronaldo is addition by subtraction, but Anthony and Sancho arent even on the bench. Both sides have put out 'weaker' sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLARETANDBLUEFOXY Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Would love a cup run. We’ve come so close to winning this in recent years. 2010 and 2020 memories need to be erased! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villanmac Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 United didn't have a clue how we'd turn up on Sunday, got outplayed and then spend the next 3 days studying what went wrong and how they can shut us down..we play a completely different side and system. 4d chess lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on those clubs from Moldova and Albania. We would even have a chance to win the thing. I was just a bit disappointed when I saw you had to play qualifyers first before the group stage.
