    The game is on today, 4pm kick-off, on Sky Sports 1, There's a lot of youngsters in the squad with the likes of Axel Tuanzebe, Matthew Olosunde and Scott Mctominay included as well.

    Another must win that we will most likely draw. Be interesting to see what the starting 11 is.

    So, we've been handed (yet) another opportunity.

    One one draw anyone?

    Liverpool just opened the door. Again.

    Guaranteed we will now slam it shut in our own face.

    Is this the team to capitalise on the fact that the RS were held to a draw by their feeder club .........

    Almost certainly not.

    Defence in particularly looks selected with Thursday in mind.

    Arsenal at home vs second team of UTD
    should be an easy win for gunners
    Jose did the sensible thing today

    I think it's a good team.

    Further proof we've a very good squad that only needs a tweak or two. We should win this. <whistle>

    I dont think our squad has many exceptional players (De Gea the exception) We have a squad of very good players, so I don't think the rotation is as big a problem for us as it would be for other teams. As in most positions we have a player of a similar ability to bring in.

    Well yeah, the caveat to those couple of tweaks is that they have to be worldies!

    No point buying very good, whoever comes in had to be top drawer.

    Would love Chiellini as one of two centre halves. The other being younger, or even a DM like Dier or Carvalho.
    Griezmann is a must as a Rooney replacement if we're all working on the assumption that Rashford will replace Zlatan.

    This game alone proves that we just have to keep De Gea.

    You must be able to see the potential in Pogba and Herrera as a pair though, surely?

    Certainly Pogba has been pretty ****ing far from exceptional this season but I do fully expect a major improvement next term, believe it or not.

    45 minutes to get in front and give ourselves a chance of top 4.

    Players really shouldn't need motivating for this!!!

    Yeah I think it's a good position for us to be in as a squad as we have a solid squad. And like you say we just need to add some star quality. We'll never get Chiellini, and I don't think he's the right age for us to be going after.

    Pogba has actually started to play a lot better lately, hopefully if we do sign someone like Griezmann it will take abit of pressure off Pogba. Who has probably been shackled down by that huge price tag.
