Let's be honest the only player that deserves to start on Saturday on form is ddg
Awb has been poor
Shaw put in the worst lb performance I've ever seen last week and was awful against Leicester and Atalanta.
. aquire has been too bad to believe.
Lindelof likewise.
So will he drop them?
Dalot telles bailly and Jones are all fit play then they can't do any worse. Varane if fit ahead of jones
Mcfred should be out in place of matic and vdb
Id play rash left cavani cf and sancho right. I'd also stick with Bruno.

Put pogba and Jesse with u23s until they sign a contract if they don't leave them there to see out their contracts with no involvement or contact with 1st team.

Ken,

I'd agree with that, and it would be good to see OGS have the bottle to do it and at least go out fighting.

You know things are bad when you're thinking of bringing Jones back in ?.

The back 6 outfield players couldn't complain if they were all dropped. They've been a complete shambles. I still think Maguire, Shaw and AWB will start. Bailly for Lindelof.

I'd play Cavani, Ronaldo and Sancho or Lingard as the front 3. VDB, McTominay and Bruno in midfield but tell Bruno to stop playing as a 2nd striker and actually drop into midfield to give us a passing option. If VDB starts I'd be amazed though, Ole seems to have an agenda against him.

Pogba's challenge was cowardly at the weekend. Clearest example possible of a player throwing in the towel. Pogba has been the same as always this season, one game where he gets four assists and has been appalling since then other than the odd cameo here and there when we're chasing a game. The sooner he leaves the better.

Just what are we going to see against Spurs?! His trusted lieutenants have been the worst performers in recent games and he’s neglected the rest of the squad to such an extent that most want him gone.

Maguire and Mctominay have been rushed back from injury and neither look fit to me. I think Shaw is playing through injury and there were doubts about the fitness of Fred, Rashford and Bruno going into the Liverpool game.

Reports suggest Ronaldo is getting increasingly frustrated with Greenwood in an eerie similarity to a training ground bust up between a young Ronaldo and RVN many years ago. RVN had become increasingly frustrated with the young Ronaldo’s step overs and lack of end product. He was sold to Real Madrid in the summer.

This is a mess all of Ole’s own making. His indecision to trim the squad over the summer then ridiculously promise them all game time is coming back to roust with a massive squad impossible to keep happy not to mention completely blocking any pathway to the first team for some of our talented youngsters.

I don’t see how he turns this around. His trusted lieutenants look battle weary and injured. The fringe players don’t trust him and want him out. He has no plan to service or get the best out of Ronaldo.

It feels like he’s already been sacked they are just waiting for a few more bad results to completely make their minds up.

Disagree with the Pogba challenge being cowardly. He can't win sometimes, if he pulls out you would also be labelling him a coward. Pogba did exactly what he should have done, albeit not including being sent off, he showed some desire and fight and put in a challenge.

Did the players become poor overnight or are they not playing for the manager anymore? They not trying is not a question on their abilities in my opinion.

Saf my thoughts on him are only to do with his contract. If he is not signing a new deal I would not have him in or around the squad. Banish him and Jesse fit that matter to the reserves if they don't sign a contract. Let them see out their contract but not amongst the committed players
But you are right he should be going into challenges but not like he did in Sunday.
It was a very poor tackle borne out of frustration and anger not from a desire to do the right thing. It was a red card challenge so nothing right about it at all.

Our front 4 do no defending. The back 5 when pogba plays are always caught as pulled all over the place as no one tracks back.
