Can\u2019t remember<\/p>\n<p>Anyway it\u2019ll be good to see something new.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018More points dropped.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018If Amorim thought United fans were edgy against Bournemouth\u2026 Old Trafford will be a graveyard.<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle fans will enjoy themselves though.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Newcastle have found form. While we\u2019ve completely lost our way. Best we can do is a 0-0.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018No chance we keep a clean sheet. A corner is like a pen vs. us.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018They\u2019re going to win this either way, so we should try something new, because the 3-4-3 obviously isn\u2019t going to work with these players. Also since Bruno will be suspended it\u2019s as good an opportunity as any to experiment with a system that doesn\u2019t use him.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018A three nil home loss versus these b-words, who\u2019ll be decked out in their Saudi kits.<\/p>\n<p>The Regime will want the PR and, worse, there\u2019ll be an endless slew of pro-Qatar types pontificating afterward.<\/p>\n<p>A depressing s\u2026show of the highest proportion.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018We should attempt four at the back, but absolutely not pick Yoro or Mainoo. Their performance tonight should never be tolerable.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Can see United losing easily.<\/p>\n<p>I think if Amorim can amend the midfield dropping Mainoo for Casemiro it helps how positionally disjointed the team is around the center.<\/p>\n<p>As bad as some of the players are in not suiting the 3-4-3 system many of the current loses are living on poor team selection.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Can\u2019t be bothered.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Can only see a proper rodding and the stadium half empty on the hour mark.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Ugarte is suspended for this so we have Casemiro and Mainoo\/Erison in the middle. Given we can\u2019t score it\u2019s how many Newcastle score. We are seriously f\u2026ed this season.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018For the love of God, no Mainoo in midfield and no Maz at RWB.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018The next 3 games are all very likely comfortable defeats, maybe even an humiliation or two. Anything else is a bonus.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Newcastle hitting a good stride, they will paste us. 1-4.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Bruno being out helps us. Ugarte being out kills us.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018I expect nothing from us this match\u2026 I hate having to be so negative towards our club, but I genuinely don\u2019t like any of our players(not named Amad, Mazraoui or Ugarte). There are so many thick and mentally(and physically for that matter) weak players.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Newcastle off the back of 4 wins in a row having scored 14 goals and conceded 1. Man United three defeats in a row having conceded 9 goals against teams Newcastle are better than. Anything other that a home defeat will be surprise but is it too much to expect to least make Newcastle work hard to score instead of nodding off in a set piece or gifting a goal with individual error?\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Just forfeit in advance to save us from having to enduring another hammering.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018If we get turned over here 2\/3-0 like everyone expects then where do we actually go? Anfield will be a nightmare. Not known United hit such lows in a long time. We just have to ride through it as things can improve very quickly, but there\u2019s bad and then there\u2019s being genuine relegation level. A result here would be welcome.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Newcastle have hit form and are scoring plenty of goals.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re a tall, physically strong and pacy side.<\/p>\n<p>They have players who can run with and make penetrating runs with the ball.<\/p>\n<p>Their tails must be up and relishing at the prospect of their game with us.<\/p>\n<p>I dread this fixture being the warm up act for Liverpool\u2019s onslaught at Anfield.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018We are Manhesta Unied.
