    Easy win tbh. Home match yada yada. 2 or 3 nil.
     
    --- -------De Gea
    -Rafa -- Jones -- Smalling --- Rojo
    ------------Blind
    -----Herrera --- Fellaini
    ------------Mata
    ------Rooney --- Wilson

    We obviously won't play that though and we'll definitely struggle, reckon Ings will bag first before we strike back (2-1 United)
     
    What we really should do:

    De Gea
    Valencia/Rafael Smalling Rojo Young
    Herrera Blind
    Mata Rooney Di Maria
    Wilson
    Keep Van Persie and Falcao away from the team. They're fecking useless. They don't deserve to get the chance to play their way into form, give them little sub appearances and if they impress, then they can get some starts. Should be nowhere near the starting 11.
     
    Team will probably be...

    --------------De Gea--------------
    ---Jones----Smalling----Rojo---
    Valencia--Fellaini--Rooney--Blind
    --------------Di Maria--------------
    ----------RVP-------Wilson----------

    Subs: Valdes, McNair, Blackett, Herrera, Mata, Falcao, Januzaj

    Suspect a return to the 3-5-2 given no fullbacks, Falcao should be no where near the starting XI and we no it's just pointless wanting Herrera now
     
    ----------------------------- DDG
    --------Valencia------Smalling----Rojo-----Young
    ---------------------Herrera----Blind
    --------------Di Maria------Rooney------Mata
    --------------------------Fellaini

    Might as well...
     
    ---------------DdG-----------
    Rafael-Smalling-Jones-Rojo
    --------------Blind-----------
    ------Herrera----DiMaria----
    ------------Fellaini-----------
    -----Wilson-------Rooney---
     
    If he plays both Van Persie and Falcao together and Rooney in midfield i'm going to punch a kitten in the face.

    -----------------De Gea---------
    Rafael---Smalling--Jones--Rojo
    ------------------Blind----------
    --------Herrera------Di Maria----
    ---------------Fellaini------------
    ---------Rooney-----Van Persie--

    I'd love to stick Mata in there but I don't know who to drop. Van Persie maybe.
     
    ----------------De Gea-------------------
    --Valencia--Jones/Smalling--Rojo--Young--
    ---------Herrera--Blind--Fellaini----------
    --------Rooney--Wilson--Di Maria----------


    We need to win this! Doubt LvG will drop either our captain or Persie even though I think both deserves it. Mata will probably get a role in this match, not sure for who though.

    According to some,there is no point playing first team players anymore,so give a kids a go and prepare for next season.
     
    What I want to see

    De Gea
    McNair - Smalling - Jones - Rojo
    Blind
    Herrera - Di Maria
    Mata
    Rooney - v. Persie

    What LVG will field:

    De Gea
    Valencia - Smalling - Jones - Rojo
    Blind
    Rooney - Di Maria
    Mata
    v. Persie - Fellaini

    Either way we will win, but it won't be pretty.​
     
    2-0 win.

    But just like beating Leicester it will tell us nothing new about how to approach the away games that are the biggest problem.
     
    First time I've been to OT in three years, so as long as we don't play a weakened side I'll be satisfied.
     
    Like to see Mata start, and Rooney either up front or not playing at all. One of Falcao and Van Persie, not both.
     
    Should be a win. Easy win. But nothing is easy with us recently. Wins especially. But given its at home and its Burnley we really should win.
     
    Would love to see.

    de Gea
    Rafael - Jones - Smalling - Rojo
    Blind
    Herrera ---- Di Maria
    Mata
    Rooney - Wilson​

    But instead we'll get a mish mash of players shoehorned into positions like a child smooshing some playdough together.
     
    De Gea
    Rafael--Jones--Smalling--Rojo

    Januzaj--Mata--Di Maria

    De Gea

    This is the team I will like to see.

    De Gea
    Rafael--Jones--Smalling--Rojo
    --------Blind--Fellaini--------
    Januzaj--Herrera--Di Maria
    -----------Rooney--------
     
    We'll have a decent chance if we play midfielders in midfield. It sounds outrageous, but it could work. I see all the other 19 teams in the Premier League are doing it, and it looks pretty good.
     
    I wonder if he'll go for the ultimate balance destroyer, trying to finally fit Falcao, VP, Rooney, Mata and Di Maria into one lineup :lol:
     
    De Gea

    Rafael - Jones - Smalling - Rojo

    Blind

    Januzaj - Fellaini - Herrera - di Maria

    Rooney​
     
    Burnley looked terrible defending set pieces today so Fellaini will start.

    Think Mata will too. Needless to say Herrera won't.
     
    de Gea
    Valencia Jones Smalling Rojo

    Just stop it....lvg will troll us again with the team selection.
     
    Back to 5-3-2 with the Shaw suspension? Or will he have enough balls to stick Young into a back four against Burnley.
