Did people expect him to field a full strength side?
That team is specifically picked to fuck up our chances of getting 4th if possible. Leicester in it next season won't be a threat if it came to a head to head. Added benefit of starving Liverpool of a bit of cash.
No and it makes complete sense why he doesn't. We need to do our job, you know, if we are good enough. However judging from our posts we are shit scared of playing their first team.
If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle. 4 matches in 8 days, Ole played the hand he was dealt. Still wouldn't be surprised if we got a result against Leicester. As to your latter comment, I'll be laughing when Liverpool fails to qualify for CL. Hmm, 6th... I remember what that felt like once.
Crosby Nick never fails.
Softballing of Ole by BT pundits, there is a surpise
It won't matter. We will still beat them on Thursday, and finish in the top 4. Leicester are not winning 7 points in their last 3 games ...
Why not just worry about what we have to do. Most on here are shitting it that we have to play Man Utd's first team, shock horror.
No, but maybe some players we had heard of.
United used to win titles on easy street, time for us to take over that real estate
Would have been interesting to see how he would have juggled his squad had the re-scheduling been like this? ...Roma (a)Villa (a)Liverpool (H)Leicester (H)
They played on Sunday. Why would he start those players?
They have a three-point head start tonight. Then they only need 3 more points from the last two to finish above us.
Martial and James would have started ahead of Amad and Elanga if fit. Three games in five days, obviously there was going to be a hugely changed lineup for the middle game. Would have preferred the games to be spread out more with a strong team in all, but the Premier League has ended up punishing the chasing pack for the top four more by scheduling the games so close to each other and having Leicester City as the middle game, which means they would obviously be the team who benefits the most by facing a rotated side.Any chance of us fielding more first teamers for this game was gone when Maguire went off injured on Sunday.
Basically I would love a draw tonight, a win for us on Thursday and a Newcastle win on Friday. That would be perfect.
Why did he have to go full strength for Sunday? They could have mixed it up to give themselves a better chance of winning all the games I think Leicester could still flap it tonight but I doubt it
How about we just beat them Thursday ? It’s not rocket science.
Ole has seriously undermined the integrity of the league.
Why aren't their fans out tonight acting up outside the ground/Lowry?
Apparently the date change meant it was too late to organise something...no, honestly, that's the reason!
Not really. It was the fans breaking into their stadium on a matchday and the soft reschedule that undermined it.
Have you seen the officials? Combined with all the injuries.
I'm not surprised in the slightest, United in CL, Leicester close to it and United can help keep us out of CL.
To be honest, Ferguson's United would have tried to win the title instead, but that is their sad reality now ...
COME ON LEICESTER!
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.
