Our team in that 0-0 game last season:

Swap out Endo for Mac and Darwin for Gakpo and that’s the starting XI. Maybe Robbo for Tsimikas too but only a maybe.
 

Amorim must be practical at Anfield​

Ruben Amorim again defended persisting with his favoured 3-4-3 formation on Monday despite abandoning it in the 33rd minute of Manchester United’s defeat by Newcastle. Even then he reacted too late. United’s ageing central midfield of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen were easily overrun by Newcastle’s three prior to the introduction of Kobbie Mainoo for the humiliated Joshua Zirkzee. It will require more than a change of personnel to prevent Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones or Dominik Szoboszlai controlling proceedings. Arne Slot’s intelligent use of the resources he inherited stands in marked contrast to a procession of United managers, not only Amorim, who has made the poorest start at Old Trafford for 103 years. Coaching principles may be sacrosanct for the new head coach but Anfield, scene of several humiliations for United in recent years, is surely the place for practicality. Andy Hunter

They are conceding lots of goals from crosses by being outnumbered out wide. We need a) Trent and Robbo/Tsimi to play wide and b) good accuracy.

Hoping it’s Jota getting on the end of them.
 
They have also been extremely poor at set pieces. Just a shame that we are one of the worst teams in regards to scoring them this season. Can see why Slot wanted a specialist set piece coach (not hired yet as the Feyenoord lad didnt get a work permit).
 
Some of you are more optimistic for United than their fans!

The Utd fans are mostly angry with Oliver having been given the refereeing duties. They expect him to fuck them over once again.
 
I’m getting feelings of last season. Many over confident posts in here to piss off the jinx gods no end and will bite us in the arse.

Or fuck us over. He will do his best to fuck both over seeing as he is a whore to the city oil money.
 
I am guessing Slot will not allow for any slack approach here.
If we had more locals in the side, they would also make sure the others give extra in this one.
 
Bradley and Konate will train with the team for the first time today
Gomez out for a few weeks.
Expects everyone except Gomez to be part of the game on Sunday.

I kinda hope we start Quansah as don’t want to rush Ibu back.

Only a 'few weeks' for Gomez? That sounds relatively positive.
