You’ll beat them. It’s a perfect game for Jose he loves these occasions. Robb will return and triumphantly proclaim that the messiah has delivered for United fans and you’ll then fail to beat Watford

Aren’t Martial and Rojo injured?

He’ll probably end up playing Matic or McT at CB knowing him

Honestly would not be surprised to see a draw.

I agree on the first goal point. We get it and you will have to change tact which could leave you more open.

However you get it and he may not be the manager he was but I’d fancy Jose to be able to protect it

That definitely sounds like us

However I can't see us getting anything tomorrow. One team is on a high going for the league and the other is on the floor playing for just pride and EL football.

Not too sure on Rojo. Jones would come in in that case.

Twitter reports saying Martial has shrugged off his knock and will play so we do have a slight chance.

No pogba?

Absolutely no chance. Total liability in a game like this and with the way he's been playing he doesn't really offer much anyway.

Same can be said for Matic but he's Jose's lovechild so he plays.

We could do with a goal so jones could be a decent option

No chance he will drop matic.

Exactly.

Lindelof is part of the match day squad. He might even play.

I’d play Pogba. It’s the type of game that he might put a performance in, even if it’s just for the benefit of putting himself in the shop window.

Could go either way, complete liability or stormer, worth the risk for me, though I worry he would not find much joy vs Liverpool’s press.

I think we'll be playing 532 so it's either Pogba or Lingard. On current form and considering the issues with Pogba....I'd go with Jesse. Pogba clearly the better player but his head isn't in the right place. He also really struggles in this fixture. He doesn't like the high press at all.

Nice one.

Start the game with only 1.5 MUFC quality players

Not going to happen of course but if united started with the club's 10 best outfield players (and, it should go without saying, in their correct position) then united should be more than capable of putting in a performance worthy of the club's name.

The OP's line up has 2 championship players, 2 that are mere subs, some squad players and, to compound it all, has the muppetry to leave out the three most effective players. Brilliant

Still.

Made me laugh.

And then feel like crying a little

You've had a mare here you plank.

1. This is the team I think will play not the one I want to see.

2. None of those players are 'championship' players. Might not be PL title winning calibre but I'm fairly sure they're not second division quality.

3. Most effective players left out? Who? Martial n Rashford our our most effective players. Lukaku is awful in big games and Pogba has really struggled in this fixture for us and is in a bad place with the manager.

Get a brain and come back.

....................DDG

Lindelof.....Smalling....Jones....Bailly....Matic...Shaw

..........McTominay......Carrick....Hererra

......................Fellaini

I’m still going 0-0. Got a borefest written all over it imo

These games bore me to death now.. Both teams should always try and win I can’t remember us ever parking buses even when we were massively inferior to United..

United aren’t exactly lacking quality they are no where near as bad as some of the teams we have had over the years with players like Jay Spearing and Stewart Downing and we still always played to win..

Man Utd are one of the most attacking teams in the league. We are better than Arsenal and Spurs so we should win.

Liverpool have not lost to United at Anfield since 2013, although they have not beaten them in the past eight league meetings home and away.

Mourinho do not use attacking options at Anfield.
Been 0-0 away dull painful to watch draw results two years in a row.

I see another fully one-half pitch defensive display ...again

We'd be wise to really. If we open up we could get torn to shreds. It's like a no win situation really. If we go and attack and get pumped he will get mullered.

Its different this season as we need to win. Still we are more attacking then Pochettino and Emery sides. We probably would be in a relegation batttle if we had as few shots on target as Spurs or Arsenal this season.

Agree but we should not use zero attacking extreme embarrassing options.
Among the top 6 we do that the most at Anfield in last 2 seasons.
This time around unfortunately we do not have this mojo defence we had last year.
