Chill guys, we can easily switch to 4 at back. We have enough players on pitch.

See? This managing lark's simple.

2-1 United.

Not too disappointed with the line up considering who is available. Although it baffles me how hererra is not starting over Fellaini.

46% of the goals Arsenal have conceded this season have been headers, the most of any side in the Premier League.

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?

Nope. I might be wrong but IIRC it was Vermijl, Evans and Thorpe? as the CB pairing in that game.

Why is everyone so sure it'll be 3-5-2? I think there's a good chance we're playing 3 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.

Where does Shaw fit in?

Amadaeus · Nov 22, 2014

Looks like we are taking up a conservative approach. The Arsenal team looks good, but I am more confident in Van Gaal philosophy than Wenger's gameplan.

shabin_d_great · Nov 22, 2014

Its sure that Welbeck will score and RVP will miss a simple chance..and then everything goes *******

So lose this and we are f**ked? Cant remember the last time we dominated a good side..

Second half against City, we were all over them with 10 men.

Teams have not allowed LVG to implement his philosophy...Its more on paper than on field..

If RvP misses a truckload of chances the board will explode.

The White Pele · Nov 22, 2014

Key to this match is Carrick being able to supply Di Maria as possible

Di Maria - Van Persie
Rooney
Shaw - Carrick - Fellaini - Valencia
Blackett - McNair - Smalling

I expect more like this:

Rooney - Van Persie
Fellaini
Shaw - Di Maria - Carrick - Valencia
Blackett - Smalling - McNair

??? I'm pretty sure the past few games have been with flat back 4 with Angel and Adnan as the wingers and Valencia as the RB.

Yep, people acting as if we're playing with 10 men just because it's 352.

Nope. Played vs west brom, Everton, city, palace, and now today. And we're mostly worried about Blackett who isn't very good.

Yeah and with Shaw playing striker terrorising that Arsenal defence like he's Ryan Giggs...

Raw · Nov 22, 2014

Win this and we're 4th.

He's been one of our more stable defenders so far, which is impressive given he's only 19.

Ah. Yeah I havent seen him play before then. Should be interesting.

Whats the general consensus on here then? How are people feeling on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being confident and 1 being you're fecked.

Could be not rushing him back from a cracked rib or the fact that Fellaini hasnt been bad for us.

This is probably right but way too sensible for a match thread.

Flying_Heckfish · Nov 22, 2014

A lot of drama queens in this thread today.

jaimoe · Nov 22, 2014

The Ox and Welbeck are going to give us fits. The boys better be on their toes today.

Mancunia_Religion · Nov 22, 2014

Injuries have ruin us. I still think we can win this though.

Southampton coming up too. Both winnable.

ryan cook · Nov 22, 2014

I am just imagining a 90th minute winner in stoppage time by Welbeck. Imagine the amount of abuse we would get by ABU's.

RG 11 · Nov 22, 2014

JinnerJamie said:

Smalling McNair Blackett Shaw
Valencia Carrick Felliani Di Maria
Rooney
Rvp

Seems more likely that we wouldn't make a dramatic shift of formation after it clearly didn't work.

Anduin · Nov 22, 2014

Win and we'll climb to fourth in the table. Crazy. A win today would be a huge boost for the whole club and our ambitions this season.

Joker · Nov 22, 2014

Alot of negativity before this match on here. I hope Rooney can get the lads up for this and RVP takes his goals from the international break into this one. I can't for the life of me predict how this game will turn out with us playing 3-5-2. We've got some options on the bench... come on united!

nazanto · Nov 22, 2014

Not getting hammered by arsenal is progessive.

The meltdown on here would be catastrophic. We're gonna need new servers.

Depends how much LVG has got them up for the game. I am hoping we come out very positively and score an early goal to shut out the nerves.

dannyrhinos89 · Nov 22, 2014

That defence is freaking awful, Sanchez, OX and even welbeck will have a field day against that lot.

Hope our frontline can do the same against their terrible defence. Only difference is RVP and Rooney have no pace whatsoever and they aren't playing brilliant at the minute

arsenals attacker are the exact opposite, pace to burn and inform

3-2 arsenal I'll go

gooDevil · Nov 22, 2014

352! Let's do this!!

jderbyshire · Nov 22, 2014

Can't believe we can go 4th if we win! Come on United!

Its only really Sanchez who's playing brilliantly. Welbeck I think has scored 1 goal in his last 6 or 7 games or something like that, since his hat trick vs gala.

Rockin Robin · Nov 22, 2014

Don't like that lineup, reckon we're gonna lose but hope they prove me wrong.

jaimoe · Nov 22, 2014

When oh when is Rafael back? or is he still in the LVG shithouse?

Stupid typo. I meant 4 at the back.

You've gone and said in now.

Herrera · Nov 22, 2014

We could be lucky this season because of the overall standard in the PL being so poor.

togg · Nov 22, 2014

So...as it stands at the moment...we are 8th right?
