I noticed Rashford was limping toward the end on Tuesday

Oh good, Eze, Sarr and Mateta. They won't kill us at all. They've got no habit of doing that.

Fucking Pau again.

That’s the supportive spirit.

Don’t worry, they’re not reading it.

Just frustrated that he’s picked the defence that consistently concedes the most goals.

Mings ahead of Torres would have been my preference.

Other than that looks like Unai wants it done quickly.

Strong attacking line up

I'd have started Mings over Torres personally

Same but I'm sure Emery knows what he is doing.

Rashford injured?

Hamstring according to twitter about ten minutes ago.

Totally uncalled for. Pau was a massive part in our team having its best league season in 28 years.

And Mings is a massive part of a far superior defence.

What did you expect? Them to be rested?
Am I the only sober one here?

Torres! Ffs he’s too weak to handle Mateta and Konsa is half the player without Mings.

I agree, Pau will get bullied by Mateta.

No, I was in denial before. About their existence and such.

Maybe angry Ollie battered Rashford when nobody was looking causing an injury to guarantee a start.

If Mings is fit I’d have him in the team for this all day long.
