So we are back on the pitch tonight thankfully.
What does ole to tonight given its only the league cup. Traditionally we play fringe players at least in the early rounds.
Is there a need to play our 1st team tonight?
We need to find our rhythm.
We need match minutes
Players are unfit we only had 1 pre season friendly.
Do we use this game to sharpen up our 'better players' or go with full rotation?
Interesting choices ole has to make tonight.
Id go with our 3 main forwards matic vdb and bruno. Henderson awb shaw bailly and mnaguire.
If he was moaning about a lack of prep time surely this is a good chance to get some mins on the clock.

He surely has to use this game to get the players fitness up and like you said some Rhythm to our play. I would like to see a Almost full strength side. I would put Henderson in, this should be his competition. I think the line up you have would be a good choice.

I think we should be looking to use this game to get our first choice players up to full match fitness, where possible. We can rest and rotate in later rounds (assuming we win tonight) or in the FA cup, UCL or in some league games.

Ken I don’t think you’re far off with that side.

I’d say he will go with Henderson in net, back 4 or Awb, Bailly, maguire and Williams.

Midfield of matic, Fred and Van de Beek

Front 3 of greenwood, martial and rashford.

Personally I’d have someone like mengi playing and on the bench someone like Anthony Elanga to come on and make an impact- would be nice to see some of the academy lads get some game time too.

Agree twenty shaps. and caolan.
No point moaning about lack of match sharpness and not taking advantage of this use it like a pre season game.
Im not sure if Luton will be able to cope with being favourites 😂.

Go with a strong team because we need to build fitness.
Many of our players had to be in quarantine before participating in training.
Shaw said that only 4 first team players trained on the eve of our only pre season game.

So field a strong team and build match fitness and sharpness.

only 4 players were available for training but 11 could play plus subs the day after?
Does that make sense to you? sounds like a crock of sh** to me.

If Luton beat us then he should walk to keep his legend status 😷😷.

Mixed loyalties. United's my club but Luton is my home town. Don't underestimate them. They love a giant killing in the cup and can score goals.
