the man is more than assured of the job. the board even know they risk fan revolt, even if he doesn't make top four now he has exceeded expectations in the league at least.
the man still has hope in his team going through. that positivity is what has earned him a fair crack at this job tbh. so he's obviously not going to start with academy lads, however I think the team can accommodate one in attack.

My predicted line up will be

- - - - - - - - - - - - - de Gea - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - Bailly - - Smalling - - Lindelof - - -
Dalot - McTom - Fred - Pereira - Shaw
- - Lukaku - Greenwood - Rashford - -

Father in heaven!!!!... See our middle

I don’t think any of the youth team players will start, and maybe 1 or 2 if lucky will come on as subs.

It will depend on how the game goes. If we are getting smashed OGS will not want to drop them in the deep end.

Good to see Brandon Williams travel with the 1st team.
Don’t think he will make the match day squad but it means the top dogs recognize his potential.

Not heard of Brandon Williams, what position does he play and how much do you rate him?

Except that we can't play with 12 players so I'd rather Greenwood take his place on the bench.

Veratti: Are these your midfieldeeerrss

No Ceballos in the team again even after 11 players and two substitutes

Madrid yaff finished

Our pastors here should pray for tonight's miracle for us tomorrow

Ajax wan kee Courtouis , as if say him thief Macbook

But he offers more than Pogba

patrickmuf:

He is right footed but plays RB and LB.

Has been playing mainly LB because O’Connor is just a year older and Ethan Laird is just a year younger, and all 3 are natural RBs with great potential ( Though they have been misusing O’Connor as CB in the under 23 recently)

He is decent on the ball, has chipped in with a few goals and is one of the leaders in the youth system.

One positive (and negative) is that he is maybe fearless to a fault and has a possible nasty streak in him.

chai...this life is somehow, few weeks back we were rejoicing about the injuries to PSG two key players..now just look at united now the one missing most of their key players..

Is life not funny?..

Who's Pogba where Ceballos is? Someone that will bench Modric and Kroos and Caseimero at once

Let's hope it works out.
Our boys really need to prove they are now men and turn up tomorrow the way Ajax just did.

OGS will most likely go with the 4-3-3 standard, with Rashford and Lukaku interswitching and operating higher up the field than Dalot.
Some thing like


----Rashford-----Lukaku

---------------------------------------Dalot

------Pereira----------Fred

---------------McTom

-Shaw--Lindelof---Smalling---Young

--------------------DDG

This was very stressful though

Didn't you see the hattrick he scored against Ajax this night

Pogba is nothing compared to him abeg

GloryIsaac:


Veratti: Are these your midfieldeeerrss

You & elrony which midfielders Ajax get? Abi no be kroos, Casemiro & Balon D' Or Modric dey Madrid's midfield?

Experience is all well and good. But in the end, it's all about who wants it the most.

Ceballos is too good to be playing against ordinary Ajax. They will use him against Hercules FC on Sunday

Lmao.. Ajax has become a source of motivation.

Well, let's hope something miraculous happens tomorrow. Maybe a Lukaku hattrick this time around, since there's no Pogba to stop him from playing penalty

Lana1:

I’m in a fix. I want us to win but I don’t want us to qualify. Better we just concentrate on the top 4 and FA cup. The squad is very lean. Those guys need every rest they can get before fatigue and injuries start hitting the defense.

Iyanu must shele tomorrow.

Our midfield wont be able to do anything tomorrow. Looks like our best bet will be quick counter attacks. Just hope we take the chances when they come.

Hmmn. Good point. Not like we go win UCL anyway. I guess i just wanted us to make the QF so we dont become perennial RO16 losers like Arsenal.

Despite the injuries, seems we are still keeping it together because the defence(Minus Young sha ) has been untouched.

That's a positive now. I feel we have too many "nice guys" in the team. I need a few soulless cünts in the mix abeg.

Similar to my thought. He uses his best squad, but if at around the 70th min there's no chance of making it to the next round, he should remove the key players for the game against Arsenal. We must win that game if we're to play CL next season.

Yes. The defense has been stable and we have to keep it that way till the end of the season. If anything destabilize that defense ehn, it won’t be funny. Midfield and Attack are already hit with injuries, we can’t afford the defense to go that way also or the remaining midfielders/forwards to join the long list of injured players.

The earlier we get out, the better for us. If it was the Europa league that guaranteed CL qualification, I wouldn’t mind going all out for it.
