Played about 5 games for us this season, arguably been our most impressive defender given his age and how shit the others have been.

Chambers playing right back and Monreal playing centre back gives me a lot of hope.They will run rings around Fellaini, regardless of whether he has just about managed not to be gash recently, he's not been 'good' by any stretch of the imagination.Fellaini should play when the EPL rules are changed to what it was when I was 8 years old. Sub him in when corner/freekick either way then sub him off when game is flowing or play him as fecking 10 where he was good at Everton, not in centremidSo lose this and we are f**ked? Cant remember the last time we dominated a good side..Strong bench today.
But i would have liked to see Herrera start this game.
I dont have much confidence in 352 but lets hope we get the win today.
You should watch more football.
Yep, 11.
That is the worry I have, not that he can challenge their defence, but if he can cope with their midfield.That defense is scary. Jesus Christ.It has Netherlands - Spain tactics written on it. Arsenal will attack no matter what and we will hit them on counter. Dimaria most probably will be a forward and Rooney will play 10 and will track backIf we are playing 3-5-2, why not Herrera instead of Fellaini? But Di Maria on centre is great
Best line up we have available. No Flamini or Cazorla so no passengers, though Monreal and Arteta are obvious weak links.Not too disappointed with the line up considering who is available. Although it baffles me how hererra is not starting over Fellaini.Di Maria - Van PersieNot as bad as some are making it out to be. Carrick will hopefully provide sufficient cover for the young back line while Fellaini will need to play the game of his life as a box to box, with some help from Rooney. AdM to run wild with freedom, and hopefully RvP will do his thing.
Rooney
Shaw - Carrick - Fellaini - Valencia
Blackett - McNair - Smalling
I'm no fan of this formation, and if Shaw is fit then I'm not convinced it is even necessary today.
I don't fancy Arsenal to be good enough to beat us though, but still, can't help think LVG given them a bit more of a chance.
Still fancy us though.
That's too bad. Hopefully lifting a trophy next year will bring back the passion.
I can just see their midfielders running in to the gaps between defenders and our two midfielders, we just won't be mobile enough in midfield.
Huh, good stuff, Yeah seems like Smalling is the one you lot are concerned about Not McNair.
I think I remember him. Did he play against Mk dons by any chance?Imo this match outcome will largely depend on carrick and Fellaini winning the midfield battle
People always say about Fellaini not tracking his runners as well.
I like when everyone goes bat shit crazy over lineups... We usually win the match and everyone looks foolish. Happy with the side... Arsenal are there for the takingHow many injuries are we going to pick up today? I'm going with 2.
No.Hopefully this shape will give Rooney and Di Maria the license to run riot. Will be very disappointed if Fellaini plays in an advanced role
Meaning enough players to play 4 defenders in their positions.If we cannot trouble Monreal, then our attackers are fooked. We can talk about our formation, but they dont look strong at the back and have been no better than us. Its all about whoevers attack clicks.
Has to be a sending off in there as well.
I'm going Arsenal 3-1 United.Arsenal don't scare me and they shouldn't scare you.SSN showing Di Maria in centre midfield role, which I would prefer to see, rather than him playing the 'Robben role'.
We can use 3 subs so I'm going with 4...Definitely looks like a 5-3-2/3-5-2, which should work much better in a game where the onus is on the opposition to attack. Whether we have the personnel for it today, is another matter.I'm confident we'll score a few goals. I fancy 3 to be honest. Arsenal will score one.
1-3 it is then.
He's been one of our more stable defenders so far, which is impressive given he's only 19.Pretty pleased with that actually. I'd swap Fellaini for Herrera but other than that i think it's capable of getting 3 points.
Ah never mind then. I have no clue who he is.
Sound like a prospect though from the comments on here. :-)Why is everyone so sure it'll be 3-5-2? I think there's a good chance we're playing 4 at the back with Valencia and Di Maria as the wingers. Which is the same system we have been following since the past few games.
Edit: typo. Meant 4 at the back.Last edited:- Status
