It's too attacking imo, love MGW to bits but he's not a midfield battler.

If we're going to get beat, let's get beat fighting!!
I'd love to see us with enough strength behind MGW but we're not there at the moment. I thought Yatesy was coming on to replace Danilo on Friday and was a bit surprised when Mangalas number went up tbh

Beaten... if we are going to be beaten.

Great memories-I also saw Forest win 2-1 there at the start of the 83/84 season (Viv Anderson and
Peter Davenport on the mark).

Damilo was poor against SU but he was played in the wrong position. He's not a DF and shielder of the back 4 and he never will be. He's dynamic, energetic and a threat running past players so he's perfect as one of a MF 3 at Old Trafford. Any success will come from counterr attacking and Danilo is excellent in transition. He's got a higher performance ceiling than most of our squad so we need to pick him and give him a set up in which he can thrive.

Although that was the position he played for Palmieras, iirc.

Sauce salad?
Can't resist pointing out he already has been that 100 times for Palmeiras. Not to say I don't agree with your assessment of him as a more progressive player.

Don’t forget 85-86 , 3-2 one of my favourite away games. They were well pissed off

Mount is injured and will miss the game.
Which is good news for Man U because he's awful.

Nottingham's dirty secret
Absolutely gutted.
Their midfield was woeful with him in it. Now Eriksen comes in.
I was so confident before this news

It's weird how little impact he's had on the pitch in their two games. I've watched both and barely heard his name.
Bob Fossil
Nottingham's dirty secret
He's had a huge impact.
In that he's made their midfield completely disjointed & left Casemeiro isolated & looking like a shadow of his former self.

He keeps missing the clacker-bag...

I’ll be pleased if we lose by a one goal margin, very pleased with a draw, engorged by a win.

You have to think that Man Utd can't be as bad as they have been so far for the whole season but they are definitely all over the place at the moment so no better time to really get at them and take the initiative. At least that's what do, but over to you Steve.

I think Casimiro is suddenly old

Last 5 away games:
Arsenal 2-1
Palace 1-1
Chelsea 2-2
Brentford 2-1
Liverpool 3-2
We're giving teams a game now, I predict another competitive game rather than getting brushed aside

Yeah, that away win is coming. It's a shame we've got the hardest away fixtures all in a row, but once they're done I can see us grabbing a handful against the other sides this year.

Sky Sports News reporting that Mason Mount will miss their next two games due to injury. Good news for us.

I'm not so sure. Their midfield has been all over the shop with him in there.
