Tickets are being sold for 2 grand to see Ronaldo's return. Do these dickheads realise they'll also be watching Fred.

2 grand - that's just mental, I'd love to be at the game, but if I had a ticket, and someone offered me 2k i'd snap their hand off! Just have to wait a week or 2 to see him sooner or later :D

Do we reckon he starts? Not had long to train with the team, he is obviously fit enough, but does Cavani start given he knows the system, and is ready to go?

Ole said Ronaldo will be on the pitch at some point tomorrow. Hopefully it's at min 1.
Ronaldo left, Greenwood right with Cavani leading. That's our strongest front 3.

It would be an absurd front three, but in practice I’m not sure if Ronnie and Cavani together is a great option. Maybe when we’re really hunting a goal.

I think Ole will start with this:

Greenwood
Sancho — Bruno — Lingard
Matic — Pogba

Then put Ronnie on for lingard with Greenwood going wide.

You wonder whose going to do the defending with this massively attacking squad we have. It reminds me of that story about Newcastle's entertainers - basically after like an hour of relentless attacking, Keegan got up and shouted "will someone do some fucking defending?" and as the right back ran past the bench on yet another attack, he told Keegan to "fuck off" lol

Ronaldo played a lot from the left for Juve.

Yup, Pogba out of position, Sancho out of position...two no-hopers in Lingard and Matic...and then :ymparty: Ronnie to the rescue.
Classic no idea hobbit bollox...

Apparently cavani not in the squad, so surely Ronnie in line for a start now.

My line up is assuming that Ronnie doesn’t start.

But now I think of it, he could surprise us with a funky formation with three CBs because he has one midfielder he trusts and too many attacking players. It’s why I think he might use Lingard because he is great at covering ground and pressing.

Plus you ought to be able to get away with it against Newcastle.
