In 20 odd years I don't think I've ever started one of these.
I'm thinking (hoping) we will go with a three man midfield this weekend, with Morgan, Field and Varane. Coventry scored five last weekend! We can't afford to concede too early, and will need to score first to get anything out of it IMO. An early Coventry goal, supporters getting aggy... gulp.
We all want a box-to-box no. 8, but these players are high value and not easy to sign on the cheap. He's young, and a bit slight, but I wonder if we need to start thinking about cultivating Morgan in this role as a long term solution? We know he can get stuck in, he's got bags of energy, and popped up with an absolute thunder-bastard last weekend.
Poku being out actually makes this an easier decision to make, because we can play Chair and Dembele either side of Burrell (or Kone if fit) without agonizing over who gets left out.
Presumably Dunne returns at RB, Esquardinho returns at LB, and Morrison and Mbengue start at CB.

I am fascinated to see what the post-game interviews are going to be like. I don't mean that nastily... it will just be fascinating. |  |

Who should reach for the harikiri sword first? Steve Bould? Julian Stephan? Christian Noury? Or the useless bunch out on the pitch who just shamed the hoops? |  | | |

I wonder how much of the Eze sell-on we're going to have to spend paying off the manager? |  | | |

Early symptom of this whole s-show this season is preferring Walsh to Nardi who had a decent first season and did not deserve to be dropped. Clear message to players that form matters far less than 'profile' (ugh) of player you are. Rotten. | |

Pointed out on 69 mins .
So he’s limped around for 11 mins and no one has noticed
Embarrassing |  | | |

For me, I will wait and see as to what happens, in our next game? |  | | |

All the Man Utd supporters in my workplace to whom I gave cans of 7up a few years ago when they conceded 7 against Liverpool, have been waiting in the long grass. They now have their opportunity for revenge. |  | | |

When would it be appropriate to wish everyone good day and log out? |
About an hour ago? |  |
