The other 9 seem reasonably straightforward Butland Zouma-BMI-Wimmer XXXX-Fletcher-Allen-Pieters Shaqiri-Jese XXXX
Just watched the little Sentinel discussion, and nobody seems to have any idea about Diouf's fitness as it wasn't brought up in the press conference at all, but there seems to be a slight hint that Choupo may end up playing. But if not tomorrow for Johnson, then when? He's the only contender who hasn't had a busy week of travel or coming off a knock? Personally I still wouldn't even consider him, but without reading Hughes' mind, hard to know where he is in the pecking order. Against weaker opposition, Ramadan would be a real option, but unfair to drop him in against Rashford and Martial with a backs-to-the-wall effort anticipated Up front,still haven't seen much to recommend Choupo as a No.9, although I've already seen a lot to like about him. Crouch just seems the obvious call tomorrow. RWBa.)Johnson b.)Cameron c.)Diouf (if fit) d.)Ramadan STRIKERa.)Choupo (if fit) b.)Crouch c.)Berahino d.)Diouf (if fit) Specifically for tomorrow, I think I'd go with Cameron and Crouch. |

Long-term that's what I'd like to see - can't see it tomorrow though. It'd help if Mame's fitness had been referenced in any way at the press conference! |

For now, I think I'd probably play Diouf at wing back, Crouch up front and drop Shaqiri.

I think Cameron has to start, we can't be without his mobility and physicality against this opposition where it will be an all hands to the pump operation.
And Crouch up front, he is the only striker we have who has any idea at all where the back of the net is and the defence will welcome the 'out' he affords them by providing the opportunity to launch the ball vaguely in his direction to relieve prolonged spells under heavy fire.
So Cameron and Crouch have to start.
We can twat about with the 'fancy-dan' options as and when we find ourselves behind and chasing the game.

Think I would go Diouf and Saido.
Diouf needs to stay on his feet, but he gets up and down better and may find space if Shaq cuts inside. Saido did OK against Arsenal and I'd like to see him switching roles with Jese, as they did for the goal.
Mentioned on the match thread, if they have a weakness, surely it is Valencia and Blind at full back. We might get some success attacking those two.

Wonder how much faith he retains in Saido?
He's still 5 got more years left on biiiiig money.
He's probably got to stick with him for some time yet - although interesting he didn't get on the pitch at the Hawthorns.
I would have liked to have seen him start against Rochdale to give him the chance to get a couple and give him an instant confidence injection.
But still can't see a start from him on the immediate horizon, so it's all very up in the air as to how his season plays out.

Cameron, for the reasons Gods sets out above, has to be right wing back. We need a defender there in games like these.
Up front, I would go for Saido - no injury concerns, no travelling this past week, so he should be fresh, fit and up for it. His little combinations with Jese showed promise against the Arse and are worth a further look.
Conna wait for the game - I'm on the overnight flight from Bermuda tonight to get home for it!

Cameron is a poor right back/right wing back though.
Ramadan is way more solid and less likely to brain farts too.
For this game (I don't think Diouf will be fit) I'd go Ramadan and Crouchy.

Definitely Cameron.
Undecided up front. Part of me thinks Diouf to give us pace on the counter. Part of me thinks Crouch to give us a target man to hit.

Bermuda is in the mid-Atlantic 700 miles off the coast of North Carolina and over a thousand miles above the islands that Irma hit. I have lived in the British Virgin Islands and Anguilla in my time, both of which have sadly been pretty much wiped out by the storm. We do get some hurricanes this far north, but thankfully not this brute. 30 degrees and blue skies here! |

We will spend much of this game defending so Cameron and Crouch. To Give Rama his first start at rwb in this game would be lunacy.

GCam at RWB - he is by far the most solid option and has played well so far this season, Diouf up top - we need someone who can stretch United's back-line and Diouf the only one who has the pace to do it.

However, having read your post I actually clicked on the article which was actually on about Barbuda  Anyway it must be nice to know people care  |

I can understand the reasons for wanting Crouch in but he'd be isolated and we would have no outlet from the pressure. Has to be Berahino up top with Diouf to replace on 60 minutes. We need to give them something to think about and those two have the pace to get behind them.
Ramadan to start to give us a chance of creating something on the right and we'll bring Cameron on at 70 minutes when we are 2-0 up.

He was absolutely shite vs West Brom and our play broke down when the ball reached him. He wasn't clever for the goal either. |

Against Utd it would be Cameron and Crouch for me - the former because he's a better defender than Diouf and the latter because he seems to worry top 6 defences and has scored in living memory unlike some of his competition.
