      Many of our captain choices are rash mate.

      We should try to control our emotions no doubt.

      I think its a sensible call. You still own rashford so will pick up his points, but haaland more likely yo score more

    Thinking FH is better suited for DGW34 with 11 doublers including some punts. But it would mean taking a hit or two to field 10 or 11 in BGW32.

    Barely seen Rashford mentioned as a captain option.

    Seems Haaland vs Watkins.

    Great home form. Scored vs Brentford even though United pretty average too.

    Fear of the early kick off ?

      I think it’s about United really not kicking into scoring loads of goals. Can see it being a very tight game. Better options elsewhere.
