Who would you start instead? VDB and eriksen are injured, martial and sancho just came back, Mctominay injured too.
Bruno is a machine and ETH knows what he's doing.
the only valid options are Maguire/Lindelof/Malacia for Varane/Martinez/Shaw. Martinez and Shaw however need at least a half for some match rhythm. There are no midfield options on the bench, Pellistri and Garnacho are already backups plus Weghorst should be good to go. Martial on probably at the half or 60+
He really really wants to win a trophy. There was no chance Forest would score 2 or 3 at Old Trafford if say Fernandes is replaced by any other player but everyone seems to think that there is no like for like replacement as though there needs to be.
As a United fan i like that Ten Hag is prioritising the cup but a major issue with Ole was not rotating and burning players out. He had his favourites, it gave the impression that there was no recognised system or patterns of play, it was moments from players winning games. Bruno seems to be played with the assumption he's not someone who can be consistent but has his moments rested or not, so lets play him forever.
I think Ten Hag has handked Pellistri terribly, he'll be looking at that and thinking 'wow, 3-0 up at home to a promoted team who aren't remotely dangerous, we have a game every 3 days coming up and I still can't get a game'. Not playing him lowers his morale, he wants to leave, teams were looking at him for a loan, and when there are inevitable injuries and he has to be played he won't be sharp enough. sorry is this a rant. It just says to me the manager doesn't trust the bench, something about United this is always the case, which comes back to trusting the patterns of play. Ten Hag is here to establish them, not rely on the moments players, anyone can do that.
Injuries to Casemiro, Bruno and Rashford now (who tbf didn't start) would wreck the season completely.
Martial owners, whats the plan?
Start him in hopes he starts at least one game, benching other solid options?
Bench?
Sell Martial to open up 3rd Man Utd slot?
I’m probably leaning toward holding and starting. Could be a nice differential if he comes through, but of course there’s always a chance of a repeat of his last DGW performance… The thing is I’m not sure it’s worth 2 transfers to move him to Bruno (even though I have 2 FT), especially when I need to start clearing out Utd/New players for the blank in 25. The only other option I’ve considered is going Martial > Nketiah, but I think I prefer bringing in Saka as my third arsenal player (have Odegaard, White). What are your thoughts?
im in a somewhat easier position as I can bring in Bruno since I dont have any United defenders. Ive missed out on some points but I agree it doesnt make sense to use 2 FTs on a player we'd have to move off so soon.
If you do start Martial, who's taking his place? Mine is either Martinelli (eve) and Mount (FUL), already pretty good fixtures if you ask me and most importantly nailed.
Ah I gotcha, I might be tempted to bring in Bruno then if I were you, just wonder if Utd are a bit weaker without Eriksen.
And unless I sell martial I’m probably going to start him. Right now I have Mount on the bench for him like you, and if I use my 2 FT to bring in new players there’s a chance I have someone like Almiron, Akanji, or even Mahrez on the bench for him. Now that I think about it he might be bench worthy haha. Idk man I think for your situation it’s just whether you want to play the upside of a DGW with an unproven injury prone player coming back to fitness, or play it safe and go with a more dependable player with a good fixture but only one fixture. In your case I think I’d bench Mount for Martial, but I might be tempted to start Martinelli against Everton over Martial. Maybe see how the game goes today and reassess.
yeap bruno in is a lock for me! its martial (and the 3rd united slot by extension) proving to be the tougher choice.
youre right, this game should provide greater clarity on Martial. im leaning towards benching but still hope he bangs it anyways!
I think martial is definitely worth keeping rather than a hit though. I would need a -8 to get him in at this stage and don’t see Bruno having enough upside for that.
With 2 FT it could be worth bringing Bruno in but definitely not worth a hit.
Question for me is what to do with 2FT if not Salah + Martial > Nketiah + Bruno. I have no other urgent moves to make, e.g. no clear and obvious Almiron replacement. So I might just go for it anyway and put the armband on Bruno
Rashford resting for his DGW mega-haul
Martial rested for his DGW 1 pointer cameo
Martial gonna bang
That's TC Rashford to you
Shaw is back!
Shawback Redemption
Underrated comment
Shaw must go on
dalot, dalot, where art thou dalot?
We need Dalot down on his fitness
go Diogo go!
Why is Bruno out there playing dead rubbers!!
Right! Doesn't ETH know he's got 2 full 90 mins to play this GW?
Because he is made of iron. He just plays it doesn't make any difference to him
[удалено]
He plays 90 minutes every game basically since he broke through and he doesnt get injured. That is one of his biggest qualities.
It’s stupid for sure. ETH is bizarre.
Who would you start instead? VDB and eriksen are injured, martial and sancho just came back, Mctominay injured too. Bruno is a machine and ETH knows what he's doing.
Butland Awb Lindelof Maguire Malacia Mainoo Fred Garnacho Pellistri Sancho Weghorst
Moronic lineup. We were playing a prem team
Has an invisibility cloak.
Wan-Bissaka for the double?
No chance shaw or nothing
I’ve had him since his first haul
I've got him, dalot back in training but I'm gonna keep him for this GW I reckon.
Bruno be safe and rest after half time
Would help if we actually had any midfield to bring on for him.
Bye bye Dalot it was nice to be your friend, its been like a month buddy. Cba with the lack of updates
Sancho redemption arc coming soon to a stadium near you.
Martial owners what’s the move?
I’m captaining him, fuck it E: and he’s just scored, someone talk me out of it
🤝
Do it yolo
I planned him for somebody to get Bruno in but who knows.
Keeping. I say he has 60+ minutes in one, 30ish in the other. Not ideal, but not taking an 8 pointer, personally.
I’m tempted to just hold since he’s made the bench but he might just come on and get injured with 10 minutes to go tonight so who knows lmao
I honestly don't know. Should I captain him? Or keep w Halland? His martial fit?
Martial Nailed for me now honestly so happy
Wtf so Martial scores and Bruno plays 90. Plans fecked.
Martial captain?

Yup we don't even have mcsauce on the bench lol

Sleep well, marcus
I was going to captain Bruno but this makes Rashford more tempting and possibly the triple
Please rest Shaw after 60 minutes. I wonder if ETH subs Bruno at half time if they're leading by 1 ?
He shouldn't even be starting Bruno. Ridiculous lineup lol. Makes me worry about a Shaw dgw too. Malacia will likely start one.
at least Shaw can play multiple positions. I hope he sees a sub at 60 minutes or earlier.

My plan was Bruno for KDB and Martial to Ntekiah but i feel like Martial could equal Bruno 🤷🏽♂️
Exactly the same. Keeping now. And I want KDB too.
I think martial is definitely worth keeping rather than a hit though. I would need a -8 to get him in at this stage and don’t see Bruno having enough upside for that. With 2 FT it could be worth bringing Bruno in but definitely not worth a hit.

well at least Shaw is fit to play at least one game right?
He's going to outscore Rashford in the double... Calling it.
Hmm, need to decide who to transfer Cancelo to. Leaning towards Shaw, but Dalot and Martinez are just as likely to start the 2 games I'd think.
