Dire game and bad management from Ole not fielding as strong a team as poss to start with. Appreciate they all need game time and unusual circumstances we are in. But now we have a team knackered for a must win game on Tuesday. Poor. But we are in the FA Cup semi. Small mercies. This game really shows lack of squad depth though.

Small mercies, Last minute winner, just enjoy it. Martial played 20 minutes, a few others played 60, only Bruno, Maguire and shaw that played the full 120, he was right to rest the players imo, semi finals here we come, just a shame we can’t go to Wembley!

I’d beg to differ. An ugly win, lots of players either rested or just kept ticking over with 20/ 30 mins so we should be fresh enough on Tuesday. A win is a win and a step closer to a cup final.

There will be a couple of more of those types of games this season. No crowd to lift the players, it will go flat at times.

Main thing is the win. The Martial sub for Bailey was what I'd like to see more from the manager. An aggressive one that helped us get the win.

The players should be fine on Tuesday.

Mumbles,

100%, a fergie type sub if ever I saw one and it paid off with a last minute winner!

I actually think Ole made the right decision changing the team. No disrespect to Norwich but we should be winning that game and be able to rest players. Even though we did have to bring some on, it was good for others to get game time.

If the rest factor is critical, we could go with a lineup like this on Tuesday:
Rashford, Martial, Greenwood
Pogba, Matic, Fred
Williams, Lindelof, Bailly, AWB
De Gea

I would take it.

It was the right decision to play a weak side.

We were playing bottom of the league, the players that started bar Fernandes were garbage.

This is why we are a few years of the top teams our so called second team is appalling.

To slow and the only player showing any desire in the first half was Fernandes.


Ole knows who he can trust and who he can't he isn't daft.

But with important prem games coming up he made the correct team selection the players let themselves and the club down

But we are in the semi final not playing amazing.

I agree that it was the best decision to rest players and get some much needed minutes for the players that aren't starters. Games are coming thick and fast so the squad needs to be utilised. Norwich defended very well yesterday, although we never really got out of 1st gear. It does seem that without fans most teams are struggling to bring the same intensity, there have been so many games that have been goalless at the break.

On a side note I was quite impressed with cantwell yesterday, not just because he scored. He was always looking to create something, which is always going to be hard in that Norwich team.

Dominated the match, the squad got a run out, win the game. They’ve had 3 months off- they won’t be tired.
