Here we go again, West Ham at home for the second time in four days. What baffling and unnecessary changes can Mourinho make this time? One he has to make is Pogba, who is suspended. I personally think this is the ideal time to give Schweinsteiger another chance. Play him this game and see how he goes. My side for this game, sticking with 4 3 3 would be; De Gea Valencia Jones Rojo Shaw Schweinsteiger Herrera Mata Martial Rooney Mkhitaryan That side would beat West Ham. In fact, it would piss it.
Draw jinx thread Although at least a draw will give Mourinho yet another match to needlessly switch players around so we still have no idea what we are trying to achieve going forwards
No win situation. If we don't win it will be annoying. If we do win, it will just confirm how much we ****ed up on Sunday. Is Jose banned for this one? Can we remove all water bottles otherwise?
Tonights amazing squad United XI: De Gea; Valencia, Rojo, Jones, Shaw; Carrick, Herrera; Mkhitaryan, Rooney (c), Martial; Ibrahimovic. Subs: Romero, Blind, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Lingard, Mata, Rashford
Yep, Shaw, Carrick and Martial not even on the bench Sunday but all starting tonight. There is no sense in what is happening.
Or he hedged his bets to rotate the squad and got it wrong. Or he realised he had it right last Thursday, had tinkered too much on Sunday and decided to go back to something similar. ...or he's making it up as he goes along
The other problem we have is that he won't be pitch side. Whatever else can be said, I have no doubt his presence on the touchline makes a massive difference. I am sure had he no been sent off we would've won the game on Sunday.
