I will never slag off Bruno BUT I would really be interested to see Zirkzee behind Hojlund. If ten Hag had the stones to go to Palace without a 6 in the starting 11, I'm sure this is something we will see sooner rather than later. But god damn we need to see some goals from these guys. Also, we need Malacia and Shaw back soon because Dalot and Nous have no backup. And what's up with Amass?

[@bbqR0ADK1LL]

Given that Hojlund is coming back from an injury, I don't think he starts. That would be great to see though

[@ILKILO1]

Amass has been struggling ALOT at u21 level this season. Which is why I don't get all this pressure from the fans to reward him with first team game time.. he's probably been directly responsible for 4-5 goals we've conceded this season already at that level and I think he's still way off it physically, he'd get ripped apart by a lot of league 2 wingers, maybe even some non league lads. Alvaro Fernandez was ahead of him at the same age and he couldn't get a sniff.. I do get were short at left back but Amass is just not an option right now, on the other hand I wouldn't mind Ogunneye getting some first team minutes but I'm not even sure hes getting called up for first team training right now.. hes an 18 year old right back from the academy, he's not ready but he's closer than Amass is right now in my opinion

It only makes sense to me now why Rashford was dropped at the weekend to give Diallo game time, and that is, in my opinion, to start him AND Garnacho against Twente in the opening Europa game, given that he has the experience.

[@jeffje]

As a Twente-fan I find your analysis pretty good! Seen a lot of bs. Two things that we’re a little off: - Steijn is not that good of a dribbler. He is a sick finisher though. - Twente fans will not be shutdown easily as you kind of mentioned. They’re all about the support and being out there. Fc Twente will be bold tomorrow. But when it comes to quality it’ll be tough to take a point home.

[@Slenderchunk]

Glad you didn't leave Eriksen out. He's been very classy with moving the ball.

[@emerystheimmortal417]

I want us to start the team we plan to play against Spurs. Then make changes after taling the lead. We need a settled 11 going forward. This usually brings better results long term instead of changing constantly

I disagree, I think Bruno needs the rhythm to get into form, so he should start, and get some confidence against Twente. Great vid Ste!

Agree with the lineup. Was thinking the same. maybe Garnacho starts on the right if ten Hag thinks Amad should start against Spurs to utilize his qualities. Would be good to have players against Spurs that can hold on to the ball as they will surely have a much better press than our previous opponents. Would expect game time for Mount and Højlund if the game goes to plan.

As much as I'd like to see Eriksen or Zirkzee or even Amad at 10, I wonder if a match like this (against theoretically lesser opposition) could be a catalyst for Bruno to get back into form.

I don't think Eriksen can play this many games in a row, and I don't really want to start Antony, so Amad to the right, and flip a coin for the left wing. Just my 2 cents, with 0 years of experience in coaching.

[@andrewtomlinson5237]

The question over Rashford being "rotated" out was that ten Hag relentlessly played him while he was out of form last season and it only seemed to compound his lack of confidence, and it took him going out to a nightclub to get dropped... yet the minute he looked like he was back to playing with freedom and confidence he gets dropped. Personally I didn't see the logic in the decision. I think if a bunch of the chances that were missed against Palace had fallen to an in-form Rashford we win that game. I think if EtH is going to rest Bruno, he's more lkely to put Rashford through the middle and Zirkze in the 10. But I don't hink he will rest Bruno. He knows we're not winning the League, and European success is the next thing on his checklist of alternatives in terms of trophies. I actually think we stand a good chance of doing well in the Europa this year.

The bollocks designed to destabilise United’s recent good vibes is infuriating. Rashford was on the bench on Saturday from the start because he played the majority of the midweek game up top at the head of the press. As has been said, Garnacho has been scoring himself. We’ve got a packed schedule essentially into the new year. Ten Hag is likely trying to save minutes in players legs now because of how relentless it’s going to be. We were in the shit last year with injuries. This season is no easier but we’ve got an opportunity to rotate players and avoid some of those muscle injuries that spoiled last season.
