    Stadium:     Old Trafford
    Date: Friday 26th December 2014
    Kick-off: 15:00pm GMT​
     
    We should really win this but it's a losable/drawable game in my opinion. I put 2-1 Rooney x2 and Perez x1
     
    Who knows, we should win but we also should of won vs Aston Villa. Depends who plays, 2-0/3-0 or something for us if we're clicking.
     
    We'll win it 3 or 4-0. Not worried about dropping points today as you don't see long runs of wins very often for teams who aren't the finished article.

    De Gea
    Valencia Jones Evans Young
    Carrick
    Herrera di maria
    Rooney
    Falcao van Persie​
     
    No EVANS please!
    Jones-McNair or McNair-Jones should start.
     
    He might go with the lineup he used against Hull City

    De Gea
    Valencia
    Smalling
    Rojo
    Young
    Fellaini
    Carrick
    Mata
    Di Maria
    van Persie
    Rooney

    Obviously we could have Shaw in for Young, Jones in for Smalling, Rafa in for Valencia and Falcao in for Robin but who knows.
     
    No 352, no Evans, no Di Maria on the wing. We need a really positive performance after that dour tripe we just saw.

    Hopefully Fellaini and Herrera recover from their illness. Sorely missed them against Villa.
     
    Feck this 352 off, especially if we're going to be up against a team where you'd expect us to keep the majority of possession.
     
    No 352, please.

    DDG
    Rafael - Jones - Blackett - Young
    Carrick
    Herrera - Di Maria
    Mata
    Falcao - Rooney
    ​
    No Rooney in CM. Give RVP a rest for the Tottenham game.
     
    If it's 5 at the back again, please play Herrera and Fellaini in the double pivot. Front three of Rooney, Falcao and Di Maria.

    LvG is saying Herrera is injured. Just hope it isn't serious. Consolation is Fletch won't be starting soon.
     
    DDG
    Rafael Jones Rojo* Young
    Carrick
    Fellaini - Di Maria
    Herrera
    Rooney - Falcao

    Depends who is fit, really. No 5atb, though, please.
     
    Please bring back the diamond!

    --De Gea​
    Rafael - Jones - Rojo - Young
    -Carrick​
    Valencia - Di Maria
    Rooney​
    Falcao - van Persie​
     
    Are they still without a decent keeper? Heard they were looking to sign an emergency keeper as all three are injured at the moment.

    Hopefully we see this and Rojo instead of Blackett.

    The for the Spurs game, RVP taking Falcao's place. It is time we return to this formation instead of using the ugly one.

    Good selection, very probable, plus Mata & Wilson impact subs, Fellaini pitch time if over illness.

    There's possibly an argument for Blackett or preferably Rojo if fit for Evans who was inefective against Benteke today, and culpable for the goal.

    Is that the last we see of Fletcher, for a while?
    So happy Falcao lasted 90' and scored, the one big plus from today.

    2-0
     
    Anyone and anything with the belowrules

    1. Evans and fletch - No thanks
    2. DiMaria in wing - No thanks
    3. Carrick in defense - No thanks

    1. Di Maira in Middle - yes Please
    2. Fellaini in Midfield -yes Please
    3. Rooney at mata position -yes Please

    unfortunate for them but hopefully they will have to face us with their 3rd goalie or maybe even their 17 year old GK. a bit unfair but that's football for you.

    -------------------------de gea---------------------------
    rafael---------jones-----------rojo--------------young
    -------------------------carrick------------------------
    --------------valencia-------------di maria-----------
    --------------------------rooney----------------------
    -------------------rvp-------------falcao-------------

    maybe rest rvp for the next game and give mata a start.a game to give rafael a start perhaps. hoping for no fresh injuries during the week. as if always when we just look like having all players back then 2 or 3 will limp off on friday's training or just being unwell for the weekend game.
     
    No back 3 please and hopefully we bloody play mata in a number 10 role or just bench him, he's just awful in the middle of the park coz of his lack of physicality, lost the ball so many times there
     
    I'm not quite sure i can take another 352 with Evans and Fletcher.
     
    Playing 3-5-2 against Villa was unexpectable. time to go back to 4-1-2-1-2(diamond) formation
    ----------------De Gea----------------------
    Rafa------Jones------McNair-------Rojo/Young
    -------------------Carrick-----------------------
    ----------Herrera-----------Di Maria-----------

    We have to stop with the 3-5-2
    ..............De Gea..............
    Rafa...Jones...Evans...Young
    ..............Carrick...............
    ........Herrera........Di Maria..
    ..............Rooney...............
