On the topic of racism I actually really enjoyed listening to this. Makes Suarez seem like a bigger C u next Tuesday than I thought for the whole handshake thing. Evra is a very interesting individual and actually very into philosophy. Can see it in the way he’s trying to discuss this topic aswell. Respect to him for saying he doesn’t believe Suarez To actually be a racist in terms of hating people based on their skin and just used racist language in that situation (which is obviously still very very wrong). Was always intrigued by the players mindsets during it all.
I dont think he is a natural RB. His style of play is more of a winger than a fullback. His defending has been poor for the most part. It might work out best for him as a wingback if we continue with the most recent formation.
Most attacking FBs these days aren’t great defensively. The only one who I can think of that is actually alright is Robbo.
It’s just how the game works these days. On the other side of the spectrum, you’ve got somebody like AWB who avoids crossing the ball like it’s the plague.
Good opportunity to play the kids. I'm hoping Brandon Williams gets a start.
Will be really disappointed if Garner doesn't at least make an appearance from the bench. Need to start bringing him into the senior team like we were saying the other day and this is a decent chance to start that process

Think you have to balance it. Partizan is gonna be a rough atmosphere and while I'm usually all for throwing in the kids, we have to be careful. I'd go:
If Ole wants to go with 3atb again, then I guess you pull out Andreas and plop in Maguire as the third CB or something.
As much as Rashford may benefit from just keeping his little run going, I'd rather save him for Norwich. Likewise James. Though I expect at least one will start. I also think Garner will be on the bench and McTominay will start
I wouldn't start Pereira in this game, he ran his socks off against Liverpool, deserves to start against Norwich. One of my favourite players the weekend, best performance I've seen from Andreas in the prem.

I basically picked him because we're out of players
Don't think this is a game for Chong so who else do we have?

Some interesting absences beyond what we expected (no Young, Chong, or Gomes). Given we're traveling with 20 and Ole likes to give youth traveling experience before playing time, I'd imagine Kovar and Laird will be the two not to make the matchday squad.
Gutted not to see homes going. Really wondering if he will get his chance.
I think its beginning to look like he'll be going out on loan in January. If I'm honest I wouldn't be totally against that. I'd rather see him play here ofc but if Ole doesn't think he's ready then a loan is better than playing in the academy as he's clearly moved beyond that level. He needs senior football.

Seems to me as though Gomes is probably just knocked

I hadn't seen anything about a knock that's why I didn't consider it, hopefully it is that though as like I said I'd prefer him to stay, not go out on loan.
Also had a look at the training pics from before the squad left for Belgrade. Chong and Gomes trained so it looks like they've just not been selected.
This Gomes stuff doesnt make much sense to me. He featured heavily in the preseason and performed. Now, hes not even good enough to go on the trip with the reserves? Something is up.

I think with the atmosphere at Partizan, you have to limit the number of kids you play. Likes of Lingard and Martial need minutes to get fully fit and I think Chong+Gomes are victims of both of those things.
Rated E For Everyone.

Never get tired of reading about footballers doing stuff like this, a great gesture from him
he's only 20, so no reason to dump him, plus he has shown promise in the games he has played, and he can play in a couple of positions
Right decision to ban him indefinitely, well done to the club for acting quickly on this. No room for racism.
This sounds like the case for Phil Jones many years ago

Agreed
Young---Jones---Rojo---Williams
Garner---Fred
Andreas---Mata---Gomes
Greenwood
4 kids but then loads of experience around them.

Yeah I'd go with Chong, or switch to a 3 atb.

Jones---Maguire---Rojo
AWB---Garner---Fred---Williams
Mata
Greenwood---Martial
Subs: Grant, Lindelof, McTominay, Andreas, Lingard, Rashford, James
That's probably how I'd pick from that squad. Would like to see 3atb continue indefinitely personally.

Don't expect him back anytime soon
Oh ****

I'd imagine the earliest we see him is after the international break.

People seem to forget how talented he is just because of a few bad games.
