Dissappointed that Mings isn't starting

That’s how I should have put it, instead of the sweary bit.

Probably known all week that Rashford was injured. A good sign at least that it was not allowed to leak out of BH.

As much a Mings is a better defender than Pau, also remember that he came back from a very serious injury far sooner than he shoud have and he's stated that in public. So the club are managing his time as best as possible. Yes this is a very important game but it's not like Pau is shit.

Mings should have started today. That's a mistake.

The whole ‘full squad to choose from’ vibe didn’t last long then.

Let’s wait until after the game before making that call.

Yeh, confirmed now as an injury. Gutted as he is very much a big game player.

For whom does it, to be fair.

Something irresistibly fascinating to the three of them on the ground, a hovering grand piano and a worryingly frayed rope?

No Rashford?!

At least we have Malen who can play in the middle if Watkins is firing blanks.

Torres scares the shit out of me.
