Scouse game's point counts for nothing if we don't win here.
I would like to see a full rotation in the front three. All three look tired, the two strikers are out of form, and whisper it but Bruno has been below his brilliant best for 3 or 4 games now. Van de Beek, Cavani and Greenwood is a strong front three and should be able to beat Fulham.
That isn't underestimating Fulham by the way, as they're a solid side and won't be easy to beat at all. More a compliment for how good these options are, it's a shame they haven't been used more so far, because we're burning out the first-choice attackers. It's not good to rotate all three at once, I could see that leading to issues, but not enough rotation beforehand has led to the need.
Also get Bailly in for Lindelof.

Axel could also do with some football. |

Rashford on the left, Cavani up top with Greenwood on the right with a cameo for Diallo if available.
Swap Fred for VDB with Matic alongside
Probably play Henderson so he gets some game time too

it's not like we have a gigantic squad and could do with some rotation so we might be surprised (maybe)

Aye, would like to see him as well but I just think we should temper our expectations a bit. |

Doubt we'll see Diallo this soon. Agreed, especially as we can genuinely rotate the front 3 for our current formation using Cavani, VdB and Greenwood. It's too soon for Diallo in a must-win game. |

I'd rest both Rashford and Bruno and use them only if we have to. They'll end up burning out, especially Bruno.
Dave
Wan bissaka
Maguire
Bailly
Shaw
Pogba
Fred
McTominay/ VDB
Martial
Cavani
Greenwood

Rest up Rashford and Bruno. Greenwood could do with a game, try to get his confidence and form back.
DVB obviously needs a start, and Mata could do with coming in.
Fulham have looked better in recent weeks so could potentially be tricky.
2-0. Cavani and Shaw (yeah, Shaw. Fuck it, why not)

Massive game this, hopefully pop a few past them keep up that pressure, also just noticed ac Milan are top of the league, now how good for football would that be if us and them both won the league, two proper clubs who have been garbage for years.

Funny you bring this up bc I was thinking the same thing. I wonder how Milan fans feel about their title ambitions this season? Are they as pessimistic as ours seem to be? Do they give Pioli the same grief we give Ole? Bc as you say, exact same scenarios for both clubs. |

Diallo not in the u23 squad tonight so could feature in the squad for this game perhaps 👀

I was just thinking about that too. We're used to seeing the same old clubs winning everything recently, though Liverpool bucked that trend last season most other years it's been City or Chelsea, Bayern, Juve, Barca or Real, Celtic, Ajax, Porto or Benfica. This season we have United top in England (7 years without a title), Rangers in Scotland (9 years), Sporting in Portugal (18 years), AC Milan in Italy (9 years), Atletico in Spain (6 years) Just Bayern and Ajax spoiling it both sitting top. |

i think a heavy rotation needs to be implemented with playing the scum again at the weekend.
De Gea
Axel - Bailly - Maguire - Telles
Matic - Pogba
Greenwood - VDB - Martial
Cavani
Bruno and Rashford looked nakerd and need a game to rest.

Ole was asked if we might see Diallo in 4 or 5 weeks-
Solskjær on Amad Diallo's debut: "It might be quicker than that [four to five weeks], he’s definitely settled down, well, players have taken to him, he’s a good character, polite, smiley boy who works really hard.
