Even the players who were playing well or at least putting the effort in are struggling under the new system. There are now up to 19 players in the first team squad that are either; too injury prone, lack the skillset, lack the intelligence, lack the work effort, lack the physical attributes required, lack the consistency and/or simply aren't good enough to turn Manchester United into a consistent top four club whilst playing 3-4-3 Heaton, Bayindir, Onana(?), Malacia, Shaw, Lindelof, Martinez(?), Maguire, Dalot(?), Mainoo(?), Mount, Antony, Casemiro, Eriksen, Bruno(?), Zirkzee(?), Rashford, Garnacho(?) and Hojlund.

Rightly or wrongly, it was Amorim who chose to freeze Rashford out.

He would essentially be admitting to have gotten it all wrong. I would rather him not cave to the pressure and continue without Rashford tbh. Give one of the academy lads an opportunity.

Every gaffer has had problems with Rashford including Rangnick. Amorim spotted it within days. He is not playing for this club again. I think Ineos are smart enough to back the gaffer because you cannot afford players getting gaffers sacked every 18months.
@@Charlie_Alpha_Lima Well if Amorim gets sacked it won't be Rashford fault mate. As today and the previous matches has proven.... Rashford is not the problem... Rashford isn't the reason why we are losing games. It's an actual joke how he's been scapegoated by the media and fans despite not playing.
Ste, I'm a big fan but i think you're slowly losing it with your predicted eleven because bringing Martinez at LWB is absolutely crazy as well as bringing Rashford back into the team. He's not going to play until January and he will be loaned or sold.
Martinez at LWB is wild. We take long enough building an attack, never mind waiting 3 minutes for Martinez to get himself up there 😅 I love Licha but he's nowhere near athletic enough to play wing back.
If you listened to the entire video Ste said he wanted a defensive back 5 but also bemoaned the fact that it would leave the attack short handed at a time when we're already short of goals....another reason to select Rashford.....at the end of the day we all want United to win games and Ste picked a team he thought would have the best chance to win given the pace and power of Newcastle's forward line, our missing players in midfield and Rashford's speed up front
I questioned your football knowledge when u tried justifying bruno losing possession by comparing him to messi and de bruyne and saying they do the same. I gave u the benefit of the doubt, but saying rashford should play shows u clearly dont know what your talking about
Hoping Rashford plays after the way he’s strolled about the place for the last few years, an the way he’s spat he’s dummy out and clearly been a bad apple in the cart for a few managers is EMBARRASSING
Something is a miss here. On numerous occasions I have heard Stephen talk about how the media have in some way been bought off by City yet his overall high opinion of Rashford flies in the face of what we have seen on the pitch for years now. I have to assume Stephen has been paid off by Rashfords team. He knows football and his take is so odd
Rashford to start, stop it! We have missed de ligt and isak can run the legs off that defence.. Midfield has no legs or ower. 🤞 More than belief. We need the first goal.
Mainoo had less than four weeks between starting the Euro finals and the Community Shield after starting 40+ games in his debut season at 18. Then started every PL game this season, with 0 pre-season until he got injured. “Mainoo looks worse this season, I don’t know why??”
The problem is playing him when he's obviously not ready to start. Eriksen should be playing. He's been on form since starting this season. I don't see why he's on the bench.
Rashford can not pass, can not defend, and he can not dribble. He is what we call the Caribbean, a push-and-run player. Counter-attacking football suits him.
Ste, you always talk sense, however, just let go of this Rashford nonsense, please. He is finished at United and rightly so. We will suffer with or without him.
This guy goes on about rashford like he's Mo Salah, says a lot about his football intellect. Rashford earns more than salah and averages 8-10 goals a season
Rashford isn't in squads because he isn't training properly, but starts in Ste's team. It's getting silly now, he's given up on the club, turned his back on the fans, please just accept it. UPTV posted that we haven't scored without a winger at wing back, so please start Amad or even Garnacho there (although I wouldn't be confident of Garnacho). Really we should need pace on the break, because this team will get stretched if we try to be expansive. Worried for this game
We need a creator and a striker pairing in the dual 10. Not necessarily a defined 10 and a 9, but one who is the creative lynch pin and the other who can break a line with the ball at his feet and muscle past defenders. If Amad plays in that pair he won;t get the same space to run at defenders the way he can on the wing, so his creativity is key. Having either a Zirkzee, Garnacho, or if all else fails even Rashford alongside him gives more opportunity to score. Shame we sold McTominay, he'd be ideal for that driving, ball-carrying into the box part, and being the second man in on a cross when it inevitably flies past behind Hojlund.
Amorim saw the problems with Rashford within days of his arrival just like every gaffer before him. He absolutely has to be sold end of this season. I will take the short term pain of the rest of this season if it means every player remaining will fall to Amorim's command. Win or lose, I respect how Amorim refuses to stray from his playing style. If we cut out the individual mistakes, we CAN beat them
Ste, rashford if he plays won't turn up at all, he will play garbage and the Newcastle fans will destroy him every time he gets hold of the ball.. Its unreal the amount of bias you have for rashford.
You really need to come to terms with the idea Rashford doesn’t want to play for us anymore. Doesn’t matter what you think. He’s literally said that to a journalist and let him publish it. Get over it.
I believe Erik Ten Hag left a huge mess behind. His plan was to rebuild his Ajax in United and signed some of his ex-players to do so, and let's be honest: He Failed!!! Onana even at his best is nowhere near Man United standards, Malacia, and Antony are poor, Zirkzee is not PL level. Others like Dalot, Eriksen, Casemiro, etc. are at best reserve players. So, it is obvious why we are soooooo poor even under Amorim. Let's hope that he build a new Man United not another Ajax or Lisbon or etc. That's how it should work.
Tonali plays the 6, its taken Newcastle to the next level. Released us in attack, and he shields the defence so well. He's Rodri esq and has made all the other players step it up. Started last 4 in the 6 position, and we've been superb. Always apprehensive going to Old Trafford, still fancy us though.
You should be favourites for this. You’ve scored 11 without reply in your last 3 league games. We can barely create chances, let alone score a fucking goal
This is Casemiro and Maguire’s game. One of them will be our match winner. Back 3 of Maguire, De Ligt, Yoro. Maz on the left, Diallo on the right. Bruno & Case in the midfield. Garna, Hojlund, Zirkzee. I actually want to see Zirkzee in the middle dropping and Hojlund run the channels from the right pulling defense out for Diallo to cut in and create/shoot
That's ridiculous to even suggest he's be involved let alone start. Disappointing The guy doesn't want to be there and has taken the piss out of our club for too long.
Rashford has said he’s not one to make things worse and has shown he’s not on to make things better. I’ve had enough of him holding fans hostage to play football while being on 300k. Good riddance.
NO Rashford. In other words you are willing to throw away everything Amorim has tried to build! Rashford has shown time and time again that he is unwilling to play in ANY system or formation that does not allow him to bomb forward, lose the ball trying to dribble, throw his hands up, then walk back to the center circle and pout until he thinks he can bomb forward again. That’s called the Rashford formation and he’s forced every single coach to revert to it because that is the ONLY way he’s willing to play. If he plays it will be Rashford-7, Coaches-0.
Am I the only one that was shocked Steve started with a hi and not … Right then 😅😅… I pressed play and always say right then but this time I was like wtf 😅😅😅
Good video as always from a Newcastle fan. You got our selection wrong though it’s Sandro in the 6. Bruno and Joey in the 8’s. That lineup has turned our season around
Toon fan here, the main reason for our change of fortunates is quite simply Tonali. Him playing in 6 allows Bruno to push up more and dictate play. He, alongside Jolinton, are exceptional at turning over the ball. Partner that with our outstanding full backs and forward players we are very good in transition. But Bruno being higher up will also help us when patiently playing around deeper defences. As for you lot, it may well be painful for a while but you have to endure it. The new manager needs time to implement his system which in the short term will be hard to watch. But i think he needs to expose the players that simply aren't up to scratch and need shiping out the door. Thats my view from and outsider looking in anyway but its your club and you will know better than me. There are definitely some talnted footballers in your squad though.
Mr Howson, I disagree with your thoughts on Rashford playing. Amorim is navigating an extremely tricky, slightly precarious, period at the moment.He’s literally walking on a knife’s edge in some ways, with the multiple challenges he is tackling at once. He will be establishing some credibility in the dressing room, for setting his stall out regarding Rashford. Even if some players have doubts about his footballing tactics or philosophy at this stage, they will at least be able to inwardly respect the managers resolve to tackle what has been a long-term issue. Obviously, the manager will be hoping to increase his credit with the players in other areas as time goes by , and hopefully quickly. But to me, to select Rashford now might throw away any credibility or respect he may have started to establish. And that could be catastrophic going forwards. I’ve only been watching your programs for a few weeks. Your general candour is very low vibrational. I know you care about the club, but a bit more energy would suit you well. I don’t want false optimism from you but try and let the glass be half-full occasionally. 🎄👍
I heard Andy Mitten on Talk Sport saying that he has been told in confidence going back years from previous managers, that they all had difficulties with Marcus. That has got to mean from Jose Mourhino,Ole,Ralph and Eric. That is not good for the dressing room. I think Amorim is dealing with it his way with backing from the board. The problem is balancing the effect of reducing his transfer value.
And u call urself a United fan!? Ur coach literally put him out and he himself asked to leave and u want him to start rashford??? wooooow! u youtubers are all hypocrite!
@@StephenHowson That's exactly the question u have to ask yourself. After the match against Wolves he clearly said that he didn't see any change in Rashford situation and when reporter asked him what does it mean? He said u can make ur mind what it means. Ste we both know u got enough IQ to know what he meant.
Rashford is, until we hear to the contrary a Manchester United player. It must be hard to talk about this game. I’m struggling to find the positives. Thanks Ste.
Also Bruno still in the 6 rather than Tonali. At least it’ll be a nice surprise for him when he sees how Bruno, Tonali and Joelinton line up and perform.
Why's this guy pretending his ball knowledge exceeds Manchester? He called Isak a "prospect" thinks we start Willock and Longstaff ahead of big Joe also Tonali plays in the 6 not Bruno 😅
Rashford has never been good enough for Utd! He has had 1 and half good seasons. I have been telling my friends about Rashford for over 5 years. His decision making is extremely poor. With Andy Mitten now telling the world about his attitude he definitely deserves no place at Utd!
Tonali plays in the 6 now, Bruno pushed into the 8. Also if Joelington isn't suspended he will start. Tino was ill on boxing day, he might stick with Trippier who gives us more control, at a loss of defensive athleticism/pace with Tino. 50/50 on either of them
You've got no research or idea have you pal? Not only did you claim a wrong formation with Newcastle, you put the wrong first eleven and put players in wrong positions 🤣
Wanting to persist with Dalot and Mazraoui is absolutely ridiculous. It's breaking the system in attack, and it's OBVIOUSLY not helping the defence. Genuinely makes me question if you're watching the same games I am, because it IS NOT WORKING.
@StephenHowson There's no easy answer for who plays at LWB (I think he hasn't experimented enough with it and should have tried Garnacho, Antony, and even Rashford before his exile), but the easy answer for RWB is to move Amad back there. He has played well at 10, and long-term it'll probably be the best place for him, but right now we look completely toothless without him overlapping on the wing. 😕
You know your football, but even mentioning Rashford baffles me to be honest, he stinks and shouldn’t play for us again.
You can say whatever you want avout Rashford when he is on forme IS our best striker ,him and Hojlund has to play with Amad or Garnacho dépends on the form, midfield 2 is a big problem in my opinion in Premier League you Adkins for troubles in my opinion when you don’t have very fit players or you need to change the partnership every Game because they Will get tired very Quickly

Every gaffer has had problems with Rashford including Rangnick. Amorim spotted it within days. He is not playing for this club again. I think Ineos are smart enough to back the gaffer because you cannot afford players getting gaffers sacked every 18months.
@@Charlie_Alpha_Lima Well if Amorim gets sacked it won't be Rashford fault mate. As today and the previous matches has proven.... Rashford is not the problem... Rashford isn't the reason why we are losing games.
It's an actual joke how he's been scapegoated by the media and fans despite not playing.
Ste, I'm a big fan but i think you're slowly losing it with your predicted eleven because bringing Martinez at LWB is absolutely crazy as well as bringing Rashford back into the team. He's not going to play until January and he will be loaned or sold.
Martinez at LWB is wild. We take long enough building an attack, never mind waiting 3 minutes for Martinez to get himself up there 😅 I love Licha but he's nowhere near athletic enough to play wing back.
I swear ste just tries to be different.
If you listened to the entire video Ste said he wanted a defensive back 5 but also bemoaned the fact that it would leave the attack short handed at a time when we're already short of goals....another reason to select Rashford.....at the end of the day we all want United to win games and Ste picked a team he thought would have the best chance to win given the pace and power of Newcastle's forward line, our missing players in midfield and Rashford's speed up front
Having no Bruno for this game could be a good thing cause sometimes it feels like he is shoehorned in because he is Bruno
I questioned your football knowledge when u tried justifying bruno losing possession by comparing him to messi and de bruyne and saying they do the same. I gave u the benefit of the doubt, but saying rashford should play shows u clearly dont know what your talking about
Hoping Rashford plays after the way he’s strolled about the place for the last few years, an the way he’s spat he’s dummy out and clearly been a bad apple in the cart for a few managers is EMBARRASSING
Can't wait for another Dalot masterclass of getting to the final third only to turn back on his right and passing back.
Literally all he does!
If this club is to move forward and Amorim picks Rashford, it will show player power power wins and his bigger than club
Something is a miss here. On numerous occasions I have heard Stephen talk about how the media have in some way been bought off by City yet his overall high opinion of Rashford flies in the face of what we have seen on the pitch for years now. I have to assume Stephen has been paid off by Rashfords team. He knows football and his take is so odd
Rashford to start, stop it! We have missed de ligt and isak can run the legs off that defence.. Midfield has no legs or ower. 🤞 More than belief. We need the first goal.
Mainoo had less than four weeks between starting the Euro finals and the Community Shield after starting 40+ games in his debut season at 18.
Then started every PL game this season, with 0 pre-season until he got injured.
“Mainoo looks worse this season, I don’t know why??”
The problem is playing him when he's obviously not ready to start. Eriksen should be playing. He's been on form since starting this season. I don't see why he's on the bench.
Because he’s not had a proper pre season
Rashford can not pass, can not defend, and he can not dribble. He is what we call the Caribbean, a push-and-run player. Counter-attacking football suits him.
Tonali now plays the DM and Bruno the AM also you totally missed Joelinton who will always play ahead of Willock
I don’t see how you can watch Rashfords first half display against Plzen and think he is an answer to any question .
Ste, you always talk sense, however, just let go of this Rashford nonsense, please. He is finished at United and rightly so. We will suffer with or without him.
This guy goes on about rashford like he's Mo Salah, says a lot about his football intellect. Rashford earns more than salah and averages 8-10 goals a season
Rashford isn't in squads because he isn't training properly, but starts in Ste's team. It's getting silly now, he's given up on the club, turned his back on the fans, please just accept it. UPTV posted that we haven't scored without a winger at wing back, so please start Amad or even Garnacho there (although I wouldn't be confident of Garnacho). Really we should need pace on the break, because this team will get stretched if we try to be expansive. Worried for this game
We need a creator and a striker pairing in the dual 10. Not necessarily a defined 10 and a 9, but one who is the creative lynch pin and the other who can break a line with the ball at his feet and muscle past defenders.
If Amad plays in that pair he won;t get the same space to run at defenders the way he can on the wing, so his creativity is key. Having either a Zirkzee, Garnacho, or if all else fails even Rashford alongside him gives more opportunity to score.
Shame we sold McTominay, he'd be ideal for that driving, ball-carrying into the box part, and being the second man in on a cross when it inevitably flies past behind Hojlund.
Its already the beginning of the end if Rashford returns
No shot he lets Rashford in at this point imo
Amorim saw the problems with Rashford within days of his arrival just like every gaffer before him. He absolutely has to be sold end of this season. I will take the short term pain of the rest of this season if it means every player remaining will fall to Amorim's command. Win or lose, I respect how Amorim refuses to stray from his playing style. If we cut out the individual mistakes, we CAN beat them
Rashford can be world class a world beater, but if he can’t do it at United he needs to be shipped off
Ste, rashford if he plays won't turn up at all, he will play garbage and the Newcastle fans will destroy him every time he gets hold of the ball.. Its unreal the amount of bias you have for rashford.
Ste, Rashford's time with us is done. I dont care how badly we play, I am over that kid. I dont want him playing for us
Rashford FC.
Tonali is playing 6, Joelinton starts not Willock
Joelinton is banned for this one
@@gavinarmstrong9397 No he's not. Cheers 👍
@@gavinarmstrong9397 he served his game ban at Brentford or the Ipswich game
Mazraoui in CDM ...would be great
You really need to come to terms with the idea Rashford doesn’t want to play for us anymore. Doesn’t matter what you think. He’s literally said that to a journalist and let him publish it. Get over it.
I believe Erik Ten Hag left a huge mess behind. His plan was to rebuild his Ajax in United and signed some of his ex-players to do so, and let's be honest: He Failed!!! Onana even at his best is nowhere near Man United standards, Malacia, and Antony are poor, Zirkzee is not PL level. Others like Dalot, Eriksen, Casemiro, etc. are at best reserve players. So, it is obvious why we are soooooo poor even under Amorim. Let's hope that he build a new Man United not another Ajax or Lisbon or etc. That's how it should work.
Why TF would you want Rashford back, FFS Steven give your head a shake. IQ levels...unbelievable
Someone please update STE on the rashford situation please I don’t think he’s heard as yet
Tonali plays the 6, its taken Newcastle to the next level.
Released us in attack, and he shields the defence so well.
He's Rodri esq and has made all the other players step it up.
Started last 4 in the 6 position, and we've been superb.
Always apprehensive going to Old Trafford, still fancy us though.
Exactly he hasnt mentioned the main change we have made which has led to recent success
Also either Joelinton or Willock both bring pace, energy and tenacity so either or can cause problems
You should be favourites for this. You’ve scored 11 without reply in your last 3 league games. We can barely create chances, let alone score a fucking goal
@@edpurdy1808easy win incoming. 3 or 4-0.
This is Casemiro and Maguire’s game. One of them will be our match winner. Back 3 of Maguire, De Ligt, Yoro. Maz on the left, Diallo on the right. Bruno & Case in the midfield. Garna, Hojlund, Zirkzee.
I actually want to see Zirkzee in the middle dropping and Hojlund run the channels from the right pulling defense out for Diallo to cut in and create/shoot
That's ridiculous to even suggest he's be involved let alone start. Disappointing
The guy doesn't want to be there and has taken the piss out of our club for too long.
Rashford has said he’s not one to make things worse and has shown he’s not on to make things better. I’ve had enough of him holding fans hostage to play football while being on 300k. Good riddance.
Tonali plays as a 6 with jolinton and bruno at 8 willock wont play
he's not playing Rash... one reason is to keep him from injury because they won't be able to sell him in Jan.
NO Rashford. In other words you are willing to throw away everything Amorim has tried to build! Rashford has shown time and time again that he is unwilling to play in ANY system or formation that does not allow him to bomb forward, lose the ball trying to dribble, throw his hands up, then walk back to the center circle and pout until he thinks he can bomb forward again. That’s called the Rashford formation and he’s forced every single coach to revert to it because that is the ONLY way he’s willing to play. If he plays it will be Rashford-7, Coaches-0.
Dont think Ruben Amorim or INEOS will risk playing Rashford only to get him injured. They want to sell him so time to plan without Marcus
Rashford - after all that’s gone on ! Read the room mate
Am I the only one that was shocked Steve started with a hi and not … Right then 😅😅… I pressed play and always say right then but this time I was like wtf 😅😅😅
Rashford 100% not to even be on bench. Couple days left till the circus of trying to sell him to someone mad enough to meet the price
Surely this went out before Andy Mitten’s interview??
Rashford is done at Utd, clearly.
Good video as always from a Newcastle fan. You got our selection wrong though it’s Sandro in the 6. Bruno and Joey in the 8’s. That lineup has turned our season around
Is Joey Joeltinton or Joe Willock?
@ 🇧🇷
Being a contrarian can be fun, fine line with becoming a troll though..
Toon fan here, the main reason for our change of fortunates is quite simply Tonali. Him playing in 6 allows Bruno to push up more and dictate play. He, alongside Jolinton, are exceptional at turning over the ball. Partner that with our outstanding full backs and forward players we are very good in transition. But Bruno being higher up will also help us when patiently playing around deeper defences.
As for you lot, it may well be painful for a while but you have to endure it. The new manager needs time to implement his system which in the short term will be hard to watch. But i think he needs to expose the players that simply aren't up to scratch and need shiping out the door. Thats my view from and outsider looking in anyway but its your club and you will know better than me. There are definitely some talnted footballers in your squad though.
You’re too kind good sir. you’re correct on your stuff, but we are simply shite. I’d be surprised if we drew.
What's with the Rashford crap Steve, defo not playing.
Bringing back Rashford is the worst thing we could don
Mr Howson, I disagree with your thoughts on Rashford playing.
Amorim is navigating an extremely tricky, slightly precarious, period at the moment.He’s literally walking on a knife’s edge in some ways, with the multiple challenges he is tackling at once.
He will be establishing some credibility in the dressing room, for setting his stall out regarding Rashford.
Even if some players have doubts about his footballing tactics or philosophy at this stage, they will at least be able to inwardly respect the managers resolve to tackle what has been a long-term issue. Obviously, the manager will be hoping to increase his credit with the players in other areas as time goes by , and hopefully quickly. But to me, to select Rashford now might throw away any credibility or respect he may have started to establish.
And that could be catastrophic going forwards.
I’ve only been watching your programs for a few weeks.
Your general candour is very low vibrational. I know you care about the club, but a bit more energy would suit you well. I don’t want false optimism from you but try and let the glass be half-full occasionally.
🎄👍
Rashford is done mate get that through your head
Wake up man, Rashford is gone
Embarrassing this Ste - Rashford is done let it go
Willock to statt over Joelinton??? Am i missing something?
I heard Andy Mitten on Talk Sport saying that he has been told in confidence going back years from previous managers, that they all had difficulties with Marcus. That has got to mean from Jose Mourhino,Ole,Ralph and Eric.
That is not good for the dressing room. I think Amorim is dealing with it his way with backing from the board. The problem is balancing the effect of reducing his transfer value.
I don’t expect us to get anything out of the next three games, which will put us in a relegation scrap & out of the FACup
And u call urself a United fan!? Ur coach literally put him out and he himself asked to leave and u want him to start rashford??? wooooow! u youtubers are all hypocrite!
Nothing wrong with wanting Rashford to come in, play well and then be sold. If you're actually hurt at what Rashford has done then you're a child.
@@quinner90 Well I'm honored to be a child in my 40s but not an idiot with zero dignity
Did you not listen to a word Amorim said? Or did you wilfully ignore it?
@@StephenHowson That's exactly the question u have to ask yourself. After the match against Wolves he clearly said that he didn't see any change in Rashford situation and when reporter asked him what does it mean? He said u can make ur mind what it means. Ste we both know u got enough IQ to know what he meant.
You obviously haven't watched newcastle
Tonali plays the 6 Bruno the 8
No mention of Joelinton either 🤔
I would be so happy seeing Collyer Casemiro in that double pivot tomorrow.Its about time he starts to get some minutes
Rashford is, until we hear to the contrary a Manchester United player. It must be hard to talk about this game. I’m struggling to find the positives. Thanks Ste.
Its over, for us aswell. I dont share the same allegiance, Ive seen his & others faces while wearing OUR shirt. Embrace the hurt, it will help. 🔴❤️.
Not sure why you would put Willock in the team instead of Joelinton ??
I can understand why he did because last time he had a stormer against them caused allsorts of problems with his running and scored
@@AllanM2e0 He's shown a distinct lack of knowledge regarding their opposition there like...
@@markpalmer8995 good 😂😂
Also Bruno still in the 6 rather than Tonali. At least it’ll be a nice surprise for him when he sees how Bruno, Tonali and Joelinton line up and perform.
I just open the video to ask you remove that rashford ah we gonna lose by the way and i am gonna crush another tv
Why's this guy pretending his ball knowledge exceeds Manchester? He called Isak a "prospect" thinks we start Willock and Longstaff ahead of big Joe also Tonali plays in the 6 not Bruno 😅
Yeah the Isak “Prospect” Comment is crazy we would take Isak in a heart beat
@@Callum_009 Realistically any team in the world would
My team
Onana
Yoro
De Ligt
Martinez
Antony
Casemiro
Collyer
Mazza
Amad
Zirkzee
Hojlund
Tonali is the 6 now. Bruno is the 8.
Joelinton in place of willock too. Maybe!
I’m glad people in the comments are calling out the rashford garbage. Absolutely no chance is rashford playing in this game 🤣🤣🤣
🤞no more 🫏 Rashford
Rashford gets nowhere near this squad Ste - nor should he. He's a disgrace
Rashford back in?!?!?! WTF. Amorim might as well quit. I'm going to have a hard time not unsubscribing from your channel.
Unsubscribe then mug
@@user-mn5uj8of6n Barb, give me one reason Rashford should see even 5 minutes, nevermind start...
I want to see Amad and Antony together! And of course Garna instead of Marcus...
Tonali plays in the 6. That’s been the key to Newcastle unlocking their recent good form
Tonali now plays the 6 and we've went up levels since they made that move
Rashford has never been good enough for Utd!
He has had 1 and half good seasons.
I have been telling my friends about Rashford for over 5 years.
His decision making is extremely poor.
With Andy Mitten now telling the world about his attitude he definitely deserves no place at Utd!
Theres no way hes letting Rashford back into the team
We probably should have stuck with Rudd for the rest of this season as his system had room for the players we have.
Might be a game for Facundo Pellestri this
How about Collyer beside Casimero with Mainoo alongside Amad?
Absolutely 💯
I’d be down for that. If nothing else, he’ll leave a boot in on someone, which can’t be said the rest of them
I’d love it. But coming straight into the side as a starter, with a recent injury, seems really unlikely to me.
Don't let these fools pressure you into recanting on rashford. People just hate him for no reason. Thank you for being reasonable.
Putting Marcus in your side is a mistake again Ste, He won't play, and It's pretty likely never pull on a Utd Shirt again
Tonali plays in the 6 now, Bruno pushed into the 8. Also if Joelington isn't suspended he will start. Tino was ill on boxing day, he might stick with Trippier who gives us more control, at a loss of defensive athleticism/pace with Tino. 50/50 on either of them
You've got no research or idea have you pal? Not only did you claim a wrong formation with Newcastle, you put the wrong first eleven and put players in wrong positions 🤣
Rashford is going, if he doesn’t that will be cos Ineos don’t allow it and it puts Amorim in an untenable position. Rashford has shit in his own bed
Mainoo isn’t good enough to play in the 8. He’s better as an attacker. Casemiro and Ugarte is our best pivot
Ugarte can't play this game. Ugarte is our best midfielder now and will be a big miss.
Not that Virus trashford. Rather give a chance to an academy player. We never want to see that problem playing for our club ever again.
Wanting to persist with Dalot and Mazraoui is absolutely ridiculous.
It's breaking the system in attack, and it's OBVIOUSLY not helping the defence.
Genuinely makes me question if you're watching the same games I am, because it IS NOT WORKING.
Did I say I wanted it? Who do you think plays there if not them?
@StephenHowson There's no easy answer for who plays at LWB (I think he hasn't experimented enough with it and should have tried Garnacho, Antony, and even Rashford before his exile), but the easy answer for RWB is to move Amad back there.
He has played well at 10, and long-term it'll probably be the best place for him, but right now we look completely toothless without him overlapping on the wing. 😕
