Massive game. Really concerning now that Barkley is not involved again.

It's probably dropped off.

Going to need a lot of running tonight so I can understand the decision to bring Barkley back. Don’t want to push that hamstring

Come on boys!

On another note, I wish they’d just be honest about injuries. If he’s out with a 5/6 week hamstring injury, just say. It’s not the first time.

Anyway, just smash these Home Counties twats.

Odd that he can't make on a 9-man bench though.

Surely have him on bench though.

This should certainly help us negotiate a more reasonable price for him

Agree with general comments on Barkley, for what was meant to be a relatively minor hamstring injury he has missed an amount of games

Was really hoping to see Jack up against AWB tonight so bit disappointed than Barkley isn't back

Somewhat cautious Man United selection, will be interesting to see where Pogba lines up

Why would we buy someone with his injury record?

I fancy it. Jack and Watkins running at that back four....

Re Barkley, no point in telling the opposition in advance about whether he is fit or not..
