Idk. This is probably one of the toughest decisions Lampard has to make. Formation, tactics, and players.

Mount looked knackered when he was taken off. Hate to say it but this may be a good game for Barkley.

Tricky this. Do we go with a style and formation that went toe to toe against Liverpool, or do we stick with what dominated United in the FA Cup? Extra man in midfield or more men at the back?

You'd really only need Kovacic against midfields that are probably stronger than ours and a team that presses.

No this game is meant for Pulisic.

Think we may have to play a 343 now.

What of the rumors he no longer wants to play LB?

Werner Pulisic---------Ziyech Mount/Kovacic----Havertz Rice

In terms as a regular starter, it's only Mount. Difference between him and the others is the grit and aggressiveness he has. You see it in the likes of Rashford and TAA, and it really helps them transition into premier league footballers. Not to mention it paves the way for their development. Reece and Tomori need more game time. Tammy probably at best as a backup. CHO and Billy still raw. Ruben however I'm afraid he lacks that mental aggression.

What's Declan Rice got to do with this?

BBC desperately wanting United to win this. Only Ashley Cole praising us atm.

Let us appreciate how great of a performance Dave is putting in so far. Knock on wood.

I wouldn’t risk Pulisic at all. Save him for Wednesday

Please stay onsides

Just need to shitehouse and hope for the best.

Refuse to believe we will buy him and take the effort to grow him as a CB when he's already showed signs to be a good DM. Buy him and get him at DM. Would be great to have another club youth product in the XI.

Anything can happen. United's front 4 have yet to be rested this entire post lockdown.

Main difference is that Leicester's players are actually up for it, organised, and have tactically matched Sheffield by countering the back 5. Our players played a game of keep away and Lampard, in-spite of the numerous occasions he faced Sheffield even at Derby, has yet to figure out how to match Sheffied's width.

I've come to the conclusion that the best way to beat these clubs that play 5 at the back is to simply counter them and do it as well.

So a DM? Why not get a DM then?

And I'll come back with watch our first goal against Leicester earlier in the year? Liverpool and City hardly have a physical midfield

You sound like Mourinho

Physicality? I disagree. I specifically remember him mugging off Vertonghen on two occasions in two different matches. He is probably our only youth product that offers this aggression. Pulisic, Havertz, Werner, and Ziyech in the side makes it less likely we will rely on Mount to offer any creativity. His job will be like it is now. Build up

Mount offers a lot off the ball.

It will likely be that. Kovacic possibly in for Havertz or Mount depending on the opposition. Still not entire comfortable shoehorning Kante in that DM role. Would rather actually get a DM.
