ericofarabia Posted 27 February, 2019 Share Posted 27 February, 2019 Going for a S05 post code hat trick. The youngsters won 1-0 recently at Leigh against Man U, just before I flew back.

sfc4prem Posted 27 February, 2019 Share Posted 27 February, 2019 4-0 to United I reckon, two of which will be absolute gifts early in each half. We'll hit the crossbar once and the post once, adding to our frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 27 February, 2019 Share Posted 27 February, 2019 Obviously expect to lose, 2 or 3-0, but Saints might surprise us and United have some injuries plus they play away to PSG on Tuesday so need to have one eye on that game. We've had a decent record at Old Trafford last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted 27 February, 2019 Share Posted 27 February, 2019 The big problem is up front whetre bith Long and Austin are unselectable. Shows have far off Gallagher is that he doesn't get any game time ahead of these two. Would start Long as Austin is too immobile, but wouldnt suprise me if RH added Armstrong for Austin as he clearly doesn't trust either CA or SL and really both should have left a long time ago.

I don’t believe it’s going to be anything other than boomerang long, followed by Austin 30 minutes unfortunately. I’d love it to be gallagher but can’t see it. Obafemi got fit for about a second and got a chance, so clearly Ralph doesn’t fancy Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 28 February, 2019 Share Posted 28 February, 2019 We will probably lose the next two, but Man Utd have injuries so there is a little hope there and Spurs seem to have lost it a bit now they know they have no hope of the title.

Saint Pete Posted 28 February, 2019 Share Posted 28 February, 2019 Reluctantly, it probably has to be Long in for Austin for this one. More suited to the chasing game we will want to play away to Utd. Keep Austin fresher for the home games and bring him on late if we are still in with a shout of getting something.

doddisalegend Posted 28 February, 2019 Share Posted 28 February, 2019 Weird I thought Austin put a decent shift in tonight maybe I was watching a different game to youAustin did work hard last night but that doesn't really distract from the fact he really doesn't suit the pressing side of the game well he tries but he really never puts the opposition CBs under pressure. He also rarely wins the ball when we go long inviting pressure back on ourselves. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 28 February, 2019 Share Posted 28 February, 2019 Man Utd are a different animal to the one we played earlier in the season. In the end that home game was a good point for us. I'd love to see us pull off another Chelsea away performance but I think we will get beasted by Man U.

Even if they rest some players we are going to have our work cut out. A hammering will do us no good at all as far as confidence is concerned, so I expect Us to play a 1 9 1 formation.

fanimal Posted 28 February, 2019 Share Posted 28 February, 2019 Long will start and do his 60 minutes instead of Charlie the impact sub; I think we have more chance of getting a point from this game than Spurs at home for some reason - perhaps because of a feel good off a win and up to speed match wise rather than the lethargy v arsenal. Otherwise the same team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 1 March, 2019 Share Posted 1 March, 2019 I'd start Austin again and leave Long for the last half an hour. We're more likely to be on the front foot, relatively speaking, in the first hour than the last half hour so we should have Austin on the pitch during that period. Long is useful if we've got something to hold onto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyell Posted 1 March, 2019 Share Posted 1 March, 2019 Park the bus, there's no way we're winning this. United can be poor at breaking down compact, deep lying, hard working teams. If we can escape with a 0-0, it'll be a sensational result. 5-4-1. Gunn; Valery, Bednarek, Yoshida, Vestergaard, Bertrand; Romeu, Hojbjerg, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong; Redmond. That's pretty much how we lined up at Arsenal, and things didn't exactly go well, so I wouldn't hold out too much hope... I think Spurs at home is a better chance of an upset. They've been on the absolute limit all season, with multiple players having no rest since the World Cup and injuries piling up - the last few games they've looked out on their feet. I never thought they could maintain their "title challenge" as it was inevitable that they'd hit the wall at some point. It feels like that point has arrived. They've obviously got some match winners up their sleeves, so it won't be easy, but with a fair wind and a bit of luck I can see us getting something.

That's pretty much how we lined up at Arsenal, and things didn't exactly go well, so I wouldn't hold out too much hope... If there's not much hope of the 'park the bus' approach working, then perhaps we've nothing to lose by going for a more gung-ho approach? Apart from goal-difference damage limitation I guess? I've always felt we've done better against the 'big 6' when we give it a go rather than sit back. (although, I accept that we arguably no longer have the calibre of offensive player required for a more positive approach) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
