Ole - "We need Rom facing the goal and not with his back to the goal".
Music to my ears at last somebody who really understands the big fella!
Another fascinating game ahead and with a few players returning from injury an interesting selection dilemma.
The defence now picks itself.
Pogba will surely return but will Ole risk Herrera or Matic.
Lukaku and Rashford will start and I presume Dalot will retain his place on the right.
Will it be 4-3-3 or possible even 4-4-2. Can't see us playing with split strikers with no Lingard, Mata or even Sanchez available to play the false 9 role.
Could Pogba play to the left of a 4-4-2 with Dalot providing more width from the right and Rashford drifting into the left channel?
Thoughts?

i think the 3 that started the PSG game in cm deserve to keep there place.
i would start martial if fit with rom and rash
and play the same back 4 we've been playing.

I think its because Ole being an ex striker himself knows what works best for a striker and recognises different strikers different traits.

Great to have Ole's understanding about how a striker ought to play. He is making a real difference already with Rashford and Lukaku. I think Sunday he will go 4-3-3 with the strongest lineup he can. If Matic and Herrera are healthy, he will play them alongside Pogba.

Bolger they all tried hard worked their socks off but were out played socks the entire game 24% possession tells you that so i think the midfield will include pogba and if herrera or matic are fit and available all should start imo.
