    Champions League footy :drool:

    Okay it's just a qualifier, but still.

    ---------------- Romero
    Darmian - Smalling - Blind - Shaw
    ------ Schneiderlin - Schweinsteiger
    Mata ---------- Herrera ---------- Memphis
    ---------------- Rooney

    Hoping for this.
     
    Same team but please no Rooney Im sick of him already

    give Hernandez a go up front
     
    They won 2-1 tonight, I followed the game out of interest.

    And they struggled to the result from the limited info I had.
     
    I'm hoping we fire a few goals past them to be honest. No reason why we can't.

    Crucial we get a win here, the away game could be feisty.
     
    Think we'll rotate a bit.
    Romero
    Valencia Smalling Rojo Blind
    Schweinsteiger
    Schneiderlin Herrera
    Januzaj Rooney Memphis​

    Though obviously, I'd prefer Darmian to stay in the team, same with Shaw and Mata probably. But I think we'll rotate and Januzaj will keep his spot because he scored.
    ​
     
    Chicharito
    Memphis ----------- Januzaj
    Fellaini----Herrera
    Schweinsteiger
    Shaw Blind Smalling Darmian
    Romero
    ​
    Bit if rotation, but I expect the back four to stay as it is.

    Interesting line up. I would put Carrick in front of the back four rather that Scheweini. I would love to see Mata in there too.
     
    The team LvG will put out will be:

    Romero
    Darmian-Smalling-Blind-Shaw
    Schweinsteiger
    Herrera-Fellaini
    Januzaj-Rooney-Young​

    I'm not kidding.
     
    I'd like to see

    -----------Romero
    Darmian-Smalling-Blind-Shaw
    ---------Schweinsteiger
    -------Herrera-Schneiderlin
    ----Mata---Hernandez---Memphis
    ​
     
    Think we'll see some rotation. Bastian will start imo, and Fellaini will come on off bench about 60 min in.

    I'd drop Rooney after tonight and give Hernandez a chance. Might light a fire up Rooneys arse and Hernandez can't do any worse than Rooney has been doing lately.
     
    Early Predicted Line-up:
    ____________________________________________________________________
    20. Romero

    36. Darmian 12. Smalling 17. Blind 23. Shaw

    31. Schweinsteiger 27. Fellaini
    44. Pereira 21. Herrera 7. Memphis

    10. Rooney
    ____________________________________________________________________
    Bench:     50. Johnstone, 5. Rojo, 25. Valencia, 16. Carrick, 8. Mata, 11. Januzaj, 14. Hernandez​
     
    ----------------- Romero
    Darmian - Smalling - Blind - Shaw -
    -- Schweinsteiger - Schneiderlin ----
    Januzaj -------- Mata ------- Memphis
    ----------------- Chich ----------------

    Edit - love the banner by the way!
     
    Think we will see the return of Hernandez and Fellaini, Valencia will probably get a game as well.
     
    Should be a banker home win

    Most games against teams like this in the cl under Fergie were fun affairs with a few goals


    1-0 deflection off rooneys arse
     
    We'll barely rotate and rightly so. I expect the same team we've seen so far with Bastian coming in for Carrick. Young might get another run out in place of Memphis or Adnan.
     
    Europe is where I expect us to reap the full benefits of van Gaalism. The slower more deliberate pace won't look out of place. Too many times I've seen us caught out in Europe by talented yet underrated teams because we let them have too much of the play. I don't expect that to happen under Louis.

    Hernandez up front on his own? That will not end well I assure you.

    Play Mata in behind him and he should do well there. As long as he's not isolated and has someone who can find his runs, he should get goals.
     
    Considering the teams lack of goals I'd hope LVG would follow the lines of...you score you keep your place. Until the football get a bit better then the usual philosophy can take over.

    Januzaj to start please!
