Good to have them back, rash for the pace on the counter and shaw well, he might get rinsed as usual vs salah, but he’s best option we have

We need Ashley Young back for this one! That's why I'd go with a back five but give them licence to be brave on the ball.

Rashford is a detriment to the XI. Should stay on the bench until he earns his place.

How often do teams drastically change their formation and system?

The only difference I see happening is how we replace Bruno, with a like for like or putting another more defensive minded CM in the middle. I guess either way it'll be the same 3 CMs (Amrabat, McTom and Mainoo are the only fit ones right?) and McTominay isn't going to do much defensively so he plays further forward by default.

He's there purely for his record against VVD. These things can play on the minds of players.

We need to sit back and try and sneak a goal on the counter against all odds.

I wonder if we'll see more Salah bookings than United goals on Sunday.

We’re in for a pasting I feel.

If we lose by more than 4 goals again, then ETH, the players, boardroom, scouts all need to be fired, and Glazers need to sack themselves too, useless owners.

Great news, stalwarts of the 4 5 and 7 nil thrashings...great to have them back

We don't need a back 5, we just need Amrabat and Mainoo starting together as a double pivot. There's no Bruno, so he can start McT in the single #8 role. Although I'd rather see Hannibal there.

Shaw
Dalot

Mainoo
Amrabat
McTominay

Antony
Hojlund
Garnacho

Don't think we'll be seeing a back 5 anytime soon. I'd be tempted to start Rashford as at his best he's better than any of those 3 up top. But he's just been so, so bad recently that I don't think we can.

Would play Shaw at CB as I think Salah is in his head a but at this point. Plus Dalot might fare OK against an inverted winger.

Hopefully we can keep it under 3-0

I’d go with this, although Onana worries me greatly.

People were crying at the thought of Dalot against Saka earlier this season but I said the same thing at the time - Dalot may suit having a left footer coming inside onto his own stronger right foot (plus Shaw soils his pants against Saka and Salah by backing off so much - and did the same against Coman the other night). Dalot had probably his best defensive game in his United career ever that afternoon so he might be a better option there again.

I'd go with the same team you've chosen. I can't see any better options to be honest. Garnacho hasn't been great despite being lively, so you could make half a case for giving Rashford a go in his best position again + he has a decent record against Liverpool. Other than that it's the best we can do.

Would anyone take a 0-1 loss right now?

It was asked on a fan channel and think it's worth asking so whoever says yes can be lynched and made a pariah on these boards.

Prediction 0-2

You are positive. I'll give you that.

3 - 1 United. This is very much the 2000s again.

Surely no one is idiotic enough to say yes?

There's always a chance
