Lindelof might be injured....might scupper their 3 at the back plan, fingers crossed.
 
You lying bastard ::::

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he enjoys criticism and has no wish to "fight" those who argue he is out of his depth.

Solskjaer guided his side to a 3-0 win at Tottenham on Saturday, affording him breathing space a week after United's 5-0 home defeat by Liverpool.
But despite the win, he was criticised for perceived negative tactics.

"Criticism can make you doubt yourself or you can stand up for yourself," the 48-year-old said.

"I have always enjoyed criticism. Keep that coming. That's fine.

"Journalists, pundits, experts, we all have different jobs. It is their job to give their opinion. I am not here to fight with them."

I literally explained that in the second half of the comment you quoted, but if you want the longer version -What do these results all have in common?

20/21
City 2-5 Leicester
West Ham 1-1 City
Porto 0-0 City
Chelsea 1-0 City (FA Cup)
Chelsea 2-1 CIty
Brighton 3-2 City
Chelsea 1-0 City (CL final)

19/20
City 0-2 Wolves
Newcastle 2-2 City
Wolves 3-2 City
City 0-1 M. United
M. United 2-0 City
Arsenal 2-0 City (FA Cup)
Lyon 3-1 City (CL)


They're all games when the opposition played 3 at the back. 12 of our last 18 losses including ones that knocked us out of the last 2 FA Cups and Champions Leagues.

So I care if Lindelof is injured because really the last thing I want is to play United in the 3 at the back formation that Solksjaer put them into on Saturday.

And not only do we lose these games, but they're invariably the shittiest, most annoying losses because there's no space, no way to break them down.

Thank fuck we got a pretty lucky deflection in the Chelsea game the other week because it was the only way we were going to score.

United have beaten us playing 4 at the back, but that's normally been our fault (like Jesus giving away a penalty in the first few minutes and then everyone else just not turning up). When it's 352 we quite often play very well and still lose.

Interesting stats. How many games have we won in that period against 3 at the back ?
 
My guess at their line up (barring injuries) would be :-

De Gea
AWB
Slabhead
Varane
Lindalaff
Shaw
Fred
McTominey
(Forming a back/defensive 8, he’s kidding nobody).
Rat face
Cavani
Ronaldo

Can see how the game will be played out already, so up to us to put in a performance and TAKE OUR FUCKIN CHANCES !

Cool story, Brighton played 3 at the back and we beat them 4-1 just 2 games ago.

No one is saying we lose 100% of the games we play against 352.

I'm pointing out that the overwhelming majority of our important defeats in the past 2 seasons have been against 352.

If you can't see the difference or why that might be relevant I don't know what else to say.
