Honestly no idea what Utd team will turn up tonight? really hope it's one that just really goes for it, quick passing, good movement and full on attack but who knows?

Agree defensively we might have a few issues but if we are pushing them back and pressing well enough that shouldn't be too much of an issue really looking forward to seeing how we play

Some positive news. Antony and Mount are back in training.

Also agree on Zirkzee, hope he plays well but looking at him he does look well out of condition, a tad overweight? that might be his usual playing condition but is he fully fit I wonder?

Makes you wonder what sort of medical assessment is carried out on players before they sign for us

Antony to run the show

Considered that mate, maybe being a bit overweight could be dealt with, new training prog, bit more running and diet advice but if anything, and it might just be me, he looks even tubbier last gam than from the first? I might just have got this in my head and imagining it but he looks sluggish?

Probably your head after his shocking run fresh from coming on. He looks okay to me, the fella is just slow.

I'll be interested to see who he starts, what set up he wants and the first 15-20 mins could define it, be GREAT if we could score more than 1,take some of the chances created but if honest will be happy with any sorta win

I think comfortable win. 4-1.

Sorry for the article above OP, but I wanted to say it while fresh.

That's great but still waiting for the positive news

Let's start Amad first. Then also a 4-1 trashing.

Any word on Mainoo? People are wondering whether he is an 'Amorim-type player', but I'll be bitterly disappointed if Mainoo can't progress under him.

That's all for today. More to follow. Hopefully we'll see them both in the starting lineup.

its disappointing that the latest trump article already has double the posts of the article about football on a football forum.

We've had about 79 trump articles since the election day. Can't there just be a "live trump article".

Sick of the things clogging up the board, to be honest.
Sick of Americans in general

The result has happened, what will be will be. Already had 4 years previously of it, the world will still continue after Trump is gone

Anyway

I wonder what a hoilund, Zirkzee duo up top would look like. I miss the days of two strikers on the pitch. Does any club do that anymore?

Bored of seeing the same formation with no change in shape / tactic for months on end.

I doubt Ruud will change much which is fair enough.

I wonder if Amorim will get on the blower to Ruud to offer some advice pre match?

I doubt it, assume Amorim still has a game to concentrate on this weekend for Sporting. What's the feeling on whether Ruud will be here or gone?
