If their midfield get time, expect balls in behind for those attackers, Fabinho is a massive loss, this could be very tricky
My guess is Konate's been picked for his pace, which let's face it will be needed when Utd attempt to pick us off on the counter.
I meant to compare each area of both teams. Our attack and defence is better than theirs, but their midfield is stronger than what we will put out today. I assume Jones is not match fit enough to start.

they are playing the same team that conceded 2 goals in that first half in the CL. Our attack should have a field day. No problemo.
We are going to get reamed today lads. Keita right side cover? Milner thinking he is a left winger. Henderson not tracking anyone. Hopefully utd have 3 injuries in first 15mins here. Fred rashford and fernandes to walk off with muscle injuries.
I called the matip thing pregame. I didnt want gomez as he would just foul people and give frees and pens away cos he cant help himself pushing lads over. Konate is in to run against rashford and ronaldo. Those are the guys who will be running in behind trent who will be spanning about. Keita for.me is the issue.
