It's been swapped for a hope for Ndiaye tactic.

Concerned about the lack of positional discipline in our CM. That's the issue with Garner at RB as he's extremely good at holding his position and reading where danger is likely to come from.

Might get over run in there, and Armstrong on the wing with Branthwaite at LB isn't exactly filling me with confidence.

I’m deciding to be optimistic and hope it’s a clever five at the back with KDH left back and Ndiaye partnering Barry ahead of a midfield three as the alternative is too depressing

I could understand him being left out if he'd let himself down when he played those three or four games but he was fine and improving, I'm not sure what it does to your motivation never mind your mental health when you basically know that unless there's a huge injury crises or suspensions you're not getting a game, probably made worse when you're watching the likes of JOB being absolute shite at RB.
It is sad for Patterson, he must wonder what on earth has happened to his career since he left Rangers.

While he isn't spectacular he is at least solid enough to suggest to me that he warrants starting between now and the end of the season.

Looked fine in the games he played and the balance of the team looked a lot better for it.

Some underlying issue there for sure though. He was being heavily touted to go out on loan or be used as a make weight in deals for potential RBs so he clearly isn't fancied here, which is a shame.

Moyes playing 4CBs against Brighton tells you all you need to know. I'll be amazed if both Myko and Patto are still here next season.

I hate the way United list their team in number order.

But that back 4 is there for the taking, and Casemiro is boom or bust.

Garner RB
Armstrong LW
Branthwaite LB
Keane Playing

Okay, listen it looks absolutely ass but that’s why he makes the big bucks and I am just a fan. Am I even that anymore, I don’t know.

I would like to thank Moyes for his services and move on next season. Take Keane with him

Imagine being the wingers this evening knowing you will be doubled on every time you get it because the full backs won’t get forward

What in the fuck is that? CMs at full back and on the wing? Centre back at left back, shove Keane in, pray for a miracle

I’m hoping if I say I can’t stand Armstrong shoe horned in on the wing again he’ll score a hat-trick or something.

But I really am not a fan of it. If that’s where he’s playing again.

The good news is, the way the team is set up, it'll feel like an away fixture.

Plus it sounds like most of the stadium will be booing him.
