Mata AND Herrera on the bench today? Really?Don't like the 3-5-2. No excuses for Di Maria now though, he is in his best position.
Have some faithSo Shaw is fit and we are still playing that shitty 3-5-2 crap with no proper wingbacks? Bizarre.Smalling at RB & Valencia on the wing I guessBaffling. Truly baffling.Was really, really hoping Herrera would be back in the team.Lot of short players for Arsenal though, Fellaini might be pivotal.Score prediction :

Filosophy 2Herrera.
Shaw is fit but still playing 3 at the back ?Arsenal are also playing Monreal at center back and Chambers at right back.Why the feck revert to 352 when you've got two fullbacks ready for the game ?
Doesn't make any sense.Is it definitely three at the back? Could it not be:
De GeaMind you, that means Smalling at RB, which is no better.
Smalling McNair Blackett Shaw
Valencia Fellaini Carrick Di Maria
Rooney
Van Persie
Don't know. LvG is not showing any courage at all. We are just going to try and stop them scoring.time to boycott the matchday thread for 24 hoursVery happy with our team. Di Maria and Rooney will kill them on the break.Herrera might not be fully fit. TBH, Fellaini doesnt deserve to be dropped does he? And Carrick is straight swap for Blind.
I can see why were doing this as were in trouble with injuries. Maybe could change it around to make four at back, take of a striker and an extra midfielder though.Wrong shape and wrong players, but at least Di Maria is back in a more central starting position. Hopefully that'll give us some impetus in attack.Inb4 explosionDdg

Rooney rvpDreadful dreadful lineup. We get the best of both worlds with the 3-5-2. The defensive frailty we saw against Swansea coupled with the attacking impotence we saw against Burnley.Has Herrera fecked LVG's wife or something?
Absolutely bizarre that he's not being used.What's van gaal's issue with Herrera.
That is utter shit no matter which way you juggle the team.l
And Valencia on the wing...I really don't see the reason for a 3-5-2 since Shaw is playing.
Maybe it's a 4-3-3 with Smalling at RB? LvG coould've done it to preserve his RCB-LCB thing.FFS no Herrera again. Fellaini hasnt been THAT good. Really is a joke if Herrera is fit and not playing. Back to the dull football from the Moyes era it seems. Atleast Shaw is fit.Di Maria will have room to roam about in the #10 role which is where he is most dangerous in my opinion.Atttack vs attack, both defences looks poor in truth.. cladsi classic case of "we'll out score you" today.
I think he is showing cowardice to be honest. Hopefully we will see the lad next week at home or later in this game.I'd prefer the 3-5-2 over the 4-4-2 if it meant no Smalling at RB and Di Maria playing in his best position. Disappointed to see Herrera left out again.
Positive as always from Sam, beautiful.
Time to dip out of this thread to avoid all the negative bollocks.De Gea
McNair Smalling Blackett
Valencia ----Carrick----Shaw
Di Maria
Van Persie Rooney
something like that?Every time Herrera is kept out of the team, my confidence drops more and more. With that formation it's not looking good. I suppose the positive is that both McNair and Blackett start and that Shaw is fit.Definately three at the back. Be no way Van Gaal would play Smalling at RB.
It'll be:
De Gea
McNair - Smalling - Blackett
Carrick
Valencia - Fellaini - Di Maria - Shaw
Rooney
Van PersieOur squad really is absolutly shocking in truth.
LvG never played Smalling at RB for obvious reasons. Would surprise me to see him there, Arsenal arent that strong and he is useless with the ball.Fellaini and Carrick in the middle is going to be so slooooowwwww with our build ups.
You can always tell with the way and order United tweet out the players names. Three centre-backs, then the four in midfield, then Di Maria in the hole and the usual two up top.- Status
