Team V Utd

[danielneeds]

Isn't Davies too slow, wouldn't Rose be a better option?

Rose doesn't look like he can play two games a week currently. Perhaps he never will be able to again.

I'd be surprised if our tempo was as low as last night.

Think we'll see a much more aggressive and fast tempo set from the start on Sunday.

Four clear days rest until Sunday should see us nicely refreshed.

I think they have been to Dubai so probably a tad more relaxed than us! i do think we will see more from CE on Sunday than last night, or hoping anyway!

A weeks rest after this game so no need to rest anyone

Unfortunately they've been sunning themselves in Dubai all week. I'm a bit worried about this one, we looked so short of legs in the 2nd half last night, and Poch doesn't really have much scope to change things up.

Really not sure if Dubai is a plus for them. Definitely a risk they could almost be too relaxed like coming back from holiday and going into work. Plus they are coming back Thursday 7 hour flight and 4 hour time difference it’s slmost worse than a Europa tie in Siberia.

He played 3 in a week about a month ago ?

That actually reassures me. Don't teams that go to "refresh in the sun" come back and generally stink the place up? (or is that just us...)

Didn't he get injured straight away?

I hope Verts is available for this game. We need an experienced player like him to partner Toby.

Agreed as this also helps our balance in central defence. Whilst Sanchez is doing more than well, when he and Toby play alongside each other Toby shifts over a left centre half where he's not as comfortable particularly with his distribution when pressed as he tries come back onto his right foot.

I'd go with:

--------------------Lloris------------------

Tripps------Toby----Verts----Rose

-------------Sissoko---Winks--------

----Son--------Eriksen-----Dele---

--------------------Kane--------------

Amuses me whenever this stuff gets brought up. They're travelling in a private plane with the best facilities money can buy.

Then they'll have 48 hours to themselves before they have to get up and play a game of football. Oh what a struggle!

 

[Zippy1980]

The four days clear rest is a factor for us though. I'd be more worried if we were the lunch time Saturday kick off. But I get you.

I thought you were going to say they were using factor 4 in Dubai lol

 

[cozzo]

Think Lamela should get a start here, Alli, Eriksen and Son looked shattered.

Eriksen just had a break

Aurier Sanchez Alderweireld Davies
Dier
Sissoko Eriksen

Son Kane​

Bench: Gazzaniga, Trippier, Foyth, Winks, Lucas, Lamela. Llorente


I hope Dier will be fit by Sunday - we will need a physical presence, with Sissoko, to deal with Pogba's new-found freedom to get forward. If Vertonghen is fit, I would start him. I'd rather have Rose than Davies to deal with the pace, but if Rose picked up a little knock yesterday, it will almost certainly be Davies.

I could swap Eriksen and Dele in the formation, but feels like we are going to need Eriksen to drop deeper to help bring the ball out.

Doesn’t matter who we put out. They’re going to get a beating.

 

[smallsnc]

Just hope everyone can recover and be ready. We need a week off right now as well as some guys getting back to fitness. Not having Dier is a huge miss right now.

 

[WiganSpur]

Same team as last night but with Aurier for Trippier

 

[cjbyid]

A weeks rest after this game so no need to rest anyone

Thank god for that

 

[bubble07]

Same line up except lloris and Lamela for gaza and dele
