    Ok, I'm doing this!

    We should have Reguillon fit, which is a m,assive bonus as it should allows Amrabat to play where he is supposed to, and allows Mount to also play where he would be better.

    For me, this is the team and formation;


    -----------------------------------------------------------------Onana

    Dalot--------------------------------Varane--------------------------------------Evans----------------------------------Reguillon


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Amrabat
    ---------------------------------------Casemiro


    -------Mount-------------------------------------------------Fernandes------------------------Garnacho (he will play Rashford!)


    --------------------------------------------------------------------Hojlund


    Rashford needs to be dropped. It's also too soon for Antony, probably, to come straight back in to start.

    If not Evans, should be Maguire over Lindelof.


    Genuinely, that's a decent team right there. No rats in that kitchen as far as I'm aware. (unless Rashford plays)

    Get the injuries back, the set up sorted, and if we're still ****e then yes, it could well be all Ten Hag!

    Agree with that team.. surely we can win with that lineup.

    I don’t think we should bin ETH. Though I do think some of his transfers have been ****e. I don’t really rate Antony or Mount Casemiro was a good signing. I hope Amrabat will turn out to be.

    Completely agree!

    Getting rid of ETH at this moment will be a mistake. He has to finish the season if things don't get too crazy. But I also don't think he should be given more money to buy more players. He needs to start working with what he has. He did it before at Ajax. He can do it here as well.

    We have quality players dotted around the squad and no one place should ever be guaranteed. I hope the manager is brave enough to give Rashford a timeout today.

    That's a good team.

    This not so much...

    ----------------------Onana
    Dalot ---Varane----Lindelof---- Amrabat
    --------Hannibal ---- Casemiro-----
    Mount-------Bruno-------Rashford
    -------------Hojlund

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the starting 11

    Scholes is spot on.

    Bruno has to play his No. 10 position better.

    Stop wandering off all over the pitch, stay in position at 10, between the lines and play the passes to Rashford, to Hojlund.

    If we have a left back fit, this all changes.

    It's crucial we get one fit ffs.

    Until then, this is not the starting team in preferred positions.

    Times like this I wish we had John OShea back as well as Evans. He could play anywhere across that back 4.

    This is a few mins late but that flick by Bruno in the first minute when he should've smashed it into the net is precisely why he's part of the problem.

    1-1 Zaha

    Long punt up and we just let the ball bounce and Dalot is weak as piss at shrugging Zaha off.

    Another really **** goal to give away <doh>

    Is this where we fall apart now they've equalised?

    I'm thinking less about us crumbling, more about whether we're going to play another 60 mins and not score again.

    Hojlund looks very promising indeed.

    Can't fault our attacking play at all.

    It's just the quality of the close passes in the final third not quite reaching their mark and so we can't get in on goal.

    Otherwise we're playing very well. Creativity is not a problem.

    Hojlund Amrabat Casemiro Mount have been very good.

    The rest have been poor.

    Hate to knock a youngster but Hannibal is simply not good enough. Been the cause of a lot of our attacks breaking down.

    Erikssen on for Hannibal.

    I think it's probably the right move.
