v Liverpool

That defensive line up. FFS.

The line up shows why I've struggled to be as up for this game as I should be. We're not going there to assert our title credentials, we're going there on the defensive, changing our system in fear of opponents who - whilst a very good side - are having to play 2 midfielders at centre back.

Liverpool will win this comfortably

What is that lineup?
Is it a sort of 433.

[Sid]

Ole going for a draw cos we only need a point tbf

But what usually happens when we play for a draw is we concede early and the gameplan goes out the window

...352...712...?

Regardless of the lineup, I fully expect United to fail to give me.the birthday present i probably don't deserve anyway. Bustards.

Bit of a shame Ole hasn’t the guts to play Cavani against their makeshift back line.

[Edfuckingwoodward]

No crowd either, which is a massive thing in this game. They have no centre halves, no crowd, we're going there top of the league. If ever there was a time to be bold and on the front foot in this fixture. We won't be though.

Happy birthday!

Let's hope so.

I'm pleased to note my phone decided to go ornithological on me instead of abusive

It’s actually a fairly aggressive line up by Ole’s standards. It looks like a diamond 4-4-2 instead of just five at the back.
