If we don't have a title challenge he should be walking
If we don't get out of CL group stage he should be walking
If he can't get into top four he should be walking
If he can't get the team to improve he should be walking
If he can't beat Norwich or Sunderland he should be walking
If he can't beat FC Midtjylland he should be walking
If he can't beat Shrewsbury he should be walking
If he can't get top half of the table he should be walking

Basically I think he should be walking.

I dont think he will be walking anytime soon unfortunately

I know some of ye are joking, but are their people who genuinely think we won't win tonight?

We will win by at least 2 clear goals, I'm going for a 3-1 minimum.

honestly, i think United will struggle against any organised and committed side. The side is playing with no confidence or intensity - and little competence; I don't consider us favourites to get a win in any game at all anymore.

The game in Denmark was just so painful to be honest - there was a disgusting lack of intensity, passion, conviction and effort. If it is the same tonight Shrewsbury could literally run United off the park.

It's easy to play against us,put everyone behind the ball,watch us piss around with it,wait until somebody makes a mistake then break and create a clear chance or get a set piece that we seem incapable of defending against...Rinse and repeat.
I miss the times when we'd see the FA Cup draw and laugh,wondering how many we'd score,now we are nervous about fucking Shrewsbury never mind West Ham,even Carrick is at it.Reminds me of the time Stan was in charge of Ireland and getting excuses in before games.

bucketybuck · 22-02-2016 10:47AM

The most likely scenario tonight is that we win 3-0, Carrick sprays a few long passes around, Lingard scores a goal, one or two of the young players does a solid job and gets lauded as the next Borthwick-Jackson and afterwards in the search for positives everybody tries to ignore the fact that we are playing a crap league one side.

sky88 · 22-02-2016 11:03AM

Think tonight will be frustration for 60 - 70 mins then shrewsbury will get tired and a 2 nil win after that

Any words on De Gea and the knee scan?

I read somewhere, probably The Daily Mail, that he hopes to be back for the Arsenal game on Sunday.

I thought I heard it was a displaced meniscus which isn't as bad as first thought.. the predicted him to be back for the Arsenal game

Found this on a quick Google search

Great news if true, from looking at him limping in the airport last week it looked long-term

According to physioroom Fellaini has no return date, Jones and Adnan have 28th and CBJ isn't on it so he might be recovered from the illness he had

As I've been saying for most of the season, I expect we'll see two fairly evenly matched teams but Utd should have that extra bit of quality to secure the victory. Without Rooney and De Gea though, we could be in for another historic night.

Chagan · 22-02-2016 11:59AM

Considering Cambridge United took us to a replay last year, I wouldn't hold out any hope on beating League 2 opposition this season.

bangkok · 22-02-2016 12:07PM

I remember playing a game a few years ago, we were serious underdogs playing a top side in a cup game, ref even said to us before the game "ye are wasting yer time playing these lads" I looked at him and said but you haven't seen us play. We were 1-0 up within a minute, running back the ref said to me maybe you are right. half time 1-1. 2nd half they steam rolled us, we went a man down and they beat us 6-1.

I would fully expect a tough first half tonight, but 2nd half, United's class and fitness should stick out a mile and anything less than a 2 goal winning margin would be a very poor result

Polo_Mint · 22-02-2016 12:08PM

This will be United's best chance tonight

Pffft that is soooo yesterday!

Lord TSC · 22-02-2016 12:20PM

Donald Love is cup tied for the game tonight, cause he played for Wigan in the FA Cup back in November, so god knows who's going in at RB.

Vic Vinegar · 22-02-2016 12:20PM

Love is cup tied tonight, so we're essentially without 6 players who could play right back

(Love, Young, Valencia, Darmian, Varela, Jones)

As much as my belief, confidence, interest and endless positivity has been battered, shattered and crushed, I expect nothing short of a comfortable win.

Hairy moments here and there sure, maybe. But we wont be fielding a side of third string kids, this will most likely be a very strong side. Anything less then convincing and surely some serious questions need to be asked of the players commitment as opposed to constantly the manager being under fire.

I've played under some managers I despised, hated, treated me poorly or had totally different ideas about football. But I never under performed because of it, or I never intentionally or subconsciously played worse because of it. And I wasn't being paid six figures a week either.

As usual I think the players are getting away with bloody murder. Sure the manager is an issue and the tactics are an issue. But I don't believe that excuses players completely failing in some basics.

Have to say the last three seasons has totally changed my opinion and outlook on the topic of the effects of managers when it comes to matchday.
