If you want to give Ake minutes, you don’t start with Mendy who needs minutes himself and Zinchenko out of position. You can’t come up with this stating you have spend 20 hrs studying Leeds

Zinch is a midfielder. He plays there for Ukraine. You do realize that pep moved him to rb? Right?

Mahrez has got pelters this year but he starts before cul-de-sac sterling.

100%

Yep , the same posters who find negatives in everything. Their life must be desperate .
The best ones are the “ I knew that was going to happen when I saw the team sheet “ liars . Biggest bunches of arsed on here . They re always telling us which players should fuck off when the best thing they could do is take their own advice .

It's so daft. Team game. One man's strength makes up for another's weakeness, allows him to shine. Due to the changes we lacked leadership and presence and clinical finishing in attack. Not that confident on the left of defence. Not a shocker.

On another day, with a couple of other faces in the team, many of the players being attacked are exactly what we need.

Spot on. Along with Ferran who barely gets a kick of a ball all thrown in together!

Go back to the pre match thread.

It will be a stroll apparently

A few of us thought it wasn't going to be easy due to all the changes for the CL game.

F***ing knew it!

Just what United needed for a tuff away game at Spurs. A massive pick up.

So what happens with Villa away and Chelsea at home? Are we going to rest players again. Another 6 points dropped?

The answer is that we cannot afford to rest any players until the league is won from now on if the rags close the gap. This was a game when you could argue on balance it was better to pick the side he did. Now at the end of next week we could be out of two cups so rotation won't be much of an issue then.

I like Peps gets it wrong to gets it right ratio

Whatever. On to the next. Not bothered about that performance, just tried a bit too hard, and it's understandable since the players benched for most of other games wanted to make an impact.

Shouldn't even be close

Shouldn’t be on more than Phil based on current performance

Exactly, rotate one or two, and having Ake, Mendy and Zinchenko in the same team is fucking suicide

This happens every time Sterling isn't at his best.
Boo boys need a scape goat.

There were lots of poor performances today and it is wrong to single out Sterling. The problem is that his form has fallen off a cliff compared to his brilliance of recent seasons. The decline in Raheem and Bernardo has been shocking. They were our best players in 2018/19. It's the sharp decline in performance that makes them both stand out. To be honest I don't expect much more from Mendy and Ake based on what we have seen from them so far. It is not a shock when they play as badly as they did today.
