Not a lot of power and height outside the back three but I think we’re going to try and dominate possession.

No Striker on the bench again but Ali-J can come on later when there is a bit more space and hopefully add to his goal rush this season.

 

[dingodan]

Who’s going to win the ball in the midfield , fear for us today !

Win the ball?

The ball sticks to Alzate's and Lallana's feet like glue.

We won't need to win the ball if United never have it.

 

[Blackadder]

Optimistic cheeky little bet placed.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Bit surprised that Propper is not in the squad. Not fit enough, I guess.

He looked fine against Preston playing the whole match.

Can’t help but think that Ajax have still got their oar in.

Admittedly, I haven't watched the games Ali has played in so far this season, but is he not playing in more of a striker role than we have seen him in previous seasons?

 

[The Wizard]

Alzate and Lallana in the middle looks a bit lightweight up against Fernandes, Pogba and Matic. Potter must be convinced by Lallana’s fitness in order to play as one of the two centre midfielders. Bissouma is a massive miss for us when you look at that team, balance wise.

 

[dingodan]

In all serious we should probably temper our expectations slightly.

No question this will be a difficult game.

Confident that we will give a good account of ourselves though.

 

[GT49er]

Molumby on the bench - good; playing DM will be a tough call for Lallana to last the full 90 minutes.
Gyokeres not on the bench - pity about that.
Propper not on the bench - hmmm............

 

[Dick Head]

So excited

were loose

As a mod and one of the most derisive of NSC posters about Ali J, you may even get an upgrade to First Class with Bozza and HKFC

I imagine you’ll be screaming at the TV for GP to get Ali J on so you can get your freebie to Tehran

Sadly [MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION] and I will not be getting on this flight

Persian food is superb. I'll bring you back some cold Kashke Bademjan if they let me live.

Yes, CH was using him as a right winger in a middle 4. He seems so much more comfortable and useful as a right sided forward in a front 3.

the lack of forward options on the bench tells a story....

In hindsight, might have been better if we were still haggling with Burnley for an extra twenty grand!

Damn bro, of all the Iranian dishes, I was not expecting a Kashke-bademjan name drop on NSC.

Not that the squad can anyway, but there's no point playing to Maguire's only strength, with tall players.

Running at him with the lil fellas is perfect (hopefully)

Agreed. But a bit different when you have Fernandes, Greenwood, rashford and Martial on the pitch!!
