Fantastic news today. Bonana 🍌 has been called up by Cameroon. We will have BM back in no time. 😃.

Assuming they get clearance to play next Monday then that will be the last game for our entire right side of defence and attack. Mbeumo amad and maz will all be off.

Yoro heaven and martinez will be in line to replace maz you'd think. Amad is more concerning as we will look to dourgu and dalot as the likely replacement.

Mbeumo I figure will either be bruno pushing on and mainoo into midfield or sesko coming back and mount playing from right.

A few tricky fixtures villa Newcastle and city in particular over the period it will be interesting to see who plays and how the do. Mbeumo is a huge miss imo.

09 Dec 2025 13:06:33
Unfortunately Onana wasn't called up by Cameroon. That means Mbeumo will be away for much longer.

09 Dec 2025 13:56:34
cameroon have a pretty poor team and not what used to be. they might be back earlier than you think.

09 Dec 2025 15:20:48
De Ligt coming back, and Lisandro Martinez getting more minutes means we should be ok with Mazraoui out. I really hope we get in the attacking wing back as I think that's the position we'll struggle in.

09 Dec 2025 18:50:03
Yeah Don i think maz is by far the easiest to cover especially with heaven coming in recently and i'm sure that's no coincidence. Yoro looked a bit edgy for a couple of games, so having heaven game fit was a good move imo. The midge will hopefully get the chance then to ease himself back instead of the need to throw him back in full throttle.
Wb is an issue both sides. Amad is by far our best option maz next best with both missing it only leaves dalot and dorgu for both sides.

Maybe Shaw could do 30 min or heaven? Young kid unseen thus far Leon? Will they exercise option on bringing amass back?
Mbeumo is a huge hole to fill. Personally i'd like to see bruno take his place and mainoo to play in cm. The other obvious option is mount to play and sesko up front he is back training.

09 Dec 2025 20:24:36
Agreed Ken. I'm expecting front 3 to be Mount, Cunha and Sesko but Bruno to play more minutes in the 10 towards end of games with Mainoo getting a bit more of a chance off the bench.
For wingbacks I'd love to see Shaw at LWB. Dalot and Dorgu don't fill me with any level of confidence.

09 Dec 2025 21:28:21
Shaw would not last more than 30 min as lwb. His body won't allow it plus he doesn't have the ability.

09 Dec 2025 21:33:40
It sounds like Amorim likes Heaven. Hopefully De Ligt get's back fit and perhaps we see Heaven go into the LCB position and Shaw into LWB. Personally, i'm not sure on Shaw in that role anymore as I think he needs the game in front of him but I guess it's another option to consider. Imagine Dalot will go into RWB for the duration with the possibility of Mount doing a job there. With the lack of Mbuemo's goal threat, I really think we need to get Fernandes closer to the oppositions goal which hopefully opens the door for Mainoo next to Casemiro.

Going to interesting to see how Amorim manages the AFCON time. Would have loved to have seen Lacey get 10 minutes last night. Or even 19 minutes. Not sure where they found the 9 minutes to be honest!

09 Dec 2025 23:11:19
Dalot has been one of our better players the last few games.

09 Dec 2025 23:49:50
Shaw has more ability in that position than any of our current LWB's.

10 Dec 2025 09:40:33
No he doesn't imo and his body won't allow it. No way he can play that role he would be gone for 6 months in no time imo.

10 Dec 2025 10:30:05
We are all forgetting Malacia who can play LWB. I thought he might get a few appearances, or perhaps will still get a few sub appearances, to hopefully put him in the January transfer window.

With those 3 players out i wonder whether RA will promote and play more youth players. If one youngster steps up, it could save the club a lot of money.

For all those Academy watchers, who do you think could be promoted to the first team whilst Maz, Amad and Mbeumo are out?

10 Dec 2025 10:50:41
I'm not forgetting him start all just don't see him a an option.

10 Dec 2025 13:08:53
Shaw has been excellent this year, he was always solid at LB and would be worth a shot.

09 Dec 2025 08:58:46
Live chat last night was awesome. Great fun, lots of ribbing, all taken in good spirit, top effort gents.

09 Dec 2025 10:32:31
And this is the only post on the page, nothing from Maze or his 48 other names, we must have won.

09 Dec 2025 11:40:32
GDS2- When we were struggling last season, Maze had a full time engagement, he is only at a 50% utilisation this season and if it finally clicks for us, Maze might be unemployed by next season.

09 Dec 2025 11:43:36
It was AJH! I've only been on it a few times but last night had a lot of ribbing which was great. Even malaga-gooner didn't give it the kiss of death!

08 Dec 2025 19:16:13
Ed, is anyone opening Live Chat?

{Ed033's Note - Open now.

08 Dec 2025 20:56:08
These players 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ man they're a joke. talk about shouting yourself in foot. Should be 4 nil. yet again the defending is comical. I mean its absolutely dreadful.

08 Dec 2025 22:02:15
My god anyone that sits near you in the east stand must be wishing you'd not renew your season ticket. 🤣🤣.

08 Dec 2025 22:38:25
Tonight was anything but dreadful, only the 2nd time in 2025 we’ve won a league game by 3+ goals I think, delighted.

09 Dec 2025 04:04:53
Yes it was nice to see. However I shall temper my excitement until we do it against a few good teams, and consistently.

09 Dec 2025 08:15:02
3 points. Excellent, but that's all it is. 3 points.
Beyond that, I am left singularly unimpressed. We conceded a goal against a pub team and should have scored 10 against them.
At times, we just looked uninterested, with no urgency or commitment. I know I'm going to be slammed for this opinion, but Wolves are a side with only 2 points all season and -25GD.

Sorry, whilst I'll take 3 points all day long, I cannot be excited about this. This United group will get slaughtered in Europe should we get there. We are miles off where we need to be.

09 Dec 2025 08:57:38
Fizz, I'm generally with you, but last night we did well. Dodgy first half, failed to take our chances, conceded, so far so typical.

But for once, RA had an impact at half time, they looked fired up and got stuck in. If we play like that every game, we will win more than we lose.

It's not pretty yet, but small steps. We could regress again or we could pick it up, it feels that unstable, but I thought the second half was pretty food.

09 Dec 2025 09:02:23
AJH, that happens way too often. Either as you describe or the other way about.

09 Dec 2025 09:34:40
I agree with some of the above points. First half was abysmal and the 2nd half we did what was expected and came out a different side. It’s another 3 points and onto the next. Interested to see if players like Mount can finally step up and we can start being more consistent in the way we dominate, press and see out games.

09 Dec 2025 10:44:30
Fizz out fishing today?

09 Dec 2025 12:31:50
No G. Just an opinion.

09 Dec 2025 20:14:23
I’m with Fizz. We cannot get too excited about that game. Wolves were awful and made us look a lot better than we actually were. Some poor stuff in there that would have been taken advantage of by other teams.

Sure we take the win, only a mad man wouldn’t. But as has been alluded to, the league is very strange this year with its results so who knows! Play bang average football and somehow get into Europe. I’ll take that!
