OCS, If he wants to do this then Fornals should be the 3rd CM, with Benrahma in the front 3, surely.

Certainly what I would've gone with. Honestly can't see what Noble brings to the team, other that experience. But we have Fabianksi, Ogbonna and Dawson with plenty of that. And is that more important than what Benrahma brings? Not for me.

Very strange.

Very interesting listening to Declan and his take on Moyes influence.

I’m not mad about the lineup, personally. We’ll see how it goes, but I think it’s pretty strong overall. I think my main disappointment is that we don’t have a second striker to cover Antonio, but that’s been done to death.

Normally one to back Moyes, and I do trust him

But I'll say it ...

I think he has got it wrong here

No issues with Yarmolenko going up top, but Noble in midfield with no pace is a genuine worry

Wouldve liked to have seen Benrahma

Coufal is Coo-fal tonight on comms.

Wonder if Soucek will be So-cek, Soo-cek or Sow-cek.

Also, can all commentators just find out the correct pronunciation and agree on it? Thanks.

OldCastleSwift

Feels like it could be a long night. None of our passes are sticking and we can't keep hold of the ball.

thornburyiron

We are giving the ball away cheaply

OldCastleSwift

Coufal already getting frustrated at the lack of movement up front.

thornburyiron

This ain’t gonna be nice

thornburyiron

Ogbonna down.

Yarmolenko is rubbish in his actual position on the wing, so why he is playing up-front is a mystery to me.

Hamstew

Omg Oggy 😭

Lukerz

Oggy’s done

yoyo

Benrahma would give the full backs an outlet. Unless we go 1-0 up I feel he must come into the game

OldCastleSwift

Is that the sound of our season unravelling I hear?

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Looks like his night is over

Let's hope it's not serious

Balbuena....no Diop....no balbuena....no Diop getting ready

Big loss

Hamstew

Currently down to 9 men with Oggy off and Yarmalenko playing

Good thing no one has over reacted!!

yoyo

WHU, exactly what I was thinking. 15 minutes in. Let's give 'em a chance

He's doing what I do an hour into my five-a-side games; making a token effort to look like I'm chasing my man when in fact I have no intention to getting involved.

Studs up into oggy no doubt that would have been a card if it was one of ours

Yeoldhammer

Hopefully not a long one for Ogbonna, he's walking on it so maybe not too bad.

alderz

Let’s hope Diop does a Dawson and makes himself a starter through his form

MIAHammer

Interesting that Moyes opted for Diop rather than Balbuena

whupathman

Diop on as a vote of confidence in him, Moyes not expecting a win by playing noble and saving the others for the PL

Commentator just said that our last trophy was the FA Cup, and I can’t believe anyone would disrespect the Intertoto Cup like that

Diop had played on the left a lot, Balbuena and Dawson never have. I’m sure that’s all it is

Yeoldhammer

Pattern of the game looks set, defend, defend, defend, pass to midfield, pass back to defence punt forward and hope that the 1 in 20 long balls result in a Man U defensive mistake to capitalise on.

Hamstew

We are playing so deep it's unreal
