Since Ole is too scared of Bruno to take him out how about Mata for Rashford?

He won't pull Bruno due to penalties. He needs to pull Rashford, Pogba, and McTom.

English commentary is so biased
Claiming Villareal would claim penalties right now if they had a chance :mjtf:

They are the only ones who look like they are playing and are at least trying to score a goal

Savage is giving it the squad depth excuse. While that is true in some regard. The problem is Ole doesn't know how to rotate the team properly. He makes 6-7 changes they lose then he loses trust in those squad players and then don't get seen again till a cup tie. Iirc when Fergie first started doing squad rotation it was no more than 3-4 players at most. That's why they were always use to accelerate from the title challengers in March and April because everyone was still fresh. And knew what players suited certain games in the run in.

The longer a match goes on the more well-coached team will gain more of an advantage against a team too reliant on helter skelter moments to score

IMO our best chance is to do a "moments-FC" + play percentage football. .. so bring on fred or matic. push pogba up. bring james on for rashford later to push them back.

rough them up. try to get free kicks, corners, el penalty ..

greenwood should have been on the bench.

I'm thinking like Ole :hhh::picard:
