That's an extremely detailed and well presented prediction. I like it.
But, in our last game, some people were predicting Rooney and Memphis to score 2-3 goals each.
I countered this explaining that in our last 6 EPL games (albeit last year), we scored 3 goals in 6 games and that I could not see how we were going to score more than 1 goal.
So, I will use the same argument. We have scored 7 goals in our last 4 EPL games. Add to this that we were (and maybe still are) very weak in away games. So, logically, I don't see us scoring more than 1 goal. Stranger things have happened, though.Not worried by the slow start. Spurs were just as sluggish as us, the whole game was basically a lot of solid defending and not much effort to score goals from both sides. Villa tend to roll over for us, and Sherwood will attack more than is good for him.
3-1 United. Mata x2, Depay, Gueye.I don't suppose Kane will be making his debut will he?What channel is it on?Who have Villa replaced Benteke and Delph with?
not sure about benteke, but with delph i believe they'll never be able to replace the loyalty, honour to the badge and sincerity he brought to the villa shirt especially towards the end of his tenor.
Veretout and Gueye. Both decent players. Amavi is another signing of them to look out for.I think a big problem we might face is Rudy Gestede. He's scored the most amount of headed goals in the last 2 seasons in all of England. If Blind starts I really fear for us as Gestede will just attack himself to Blind and terrorize us.If they close the transfer today perhaps Adama will be in the match squad
Sky Sports 1 in the UK.Hopefully Herrera can get a start on his birthday.
Pah, don't be silly
Hopefully we get a few shots on target this game, not too much to ask is it?
Saw this, ideally this is the team we should be putting away.
Sky in the UKIf he insists on going 2 man midfield anchor. Then I would drop Young, put Memphis as a winger, place Rooney as a No.10 so he can be the link between the deep midfield and uptop and play Hernandez as a striker. Cant hurt but try.How many minutes until we will manage our first shot on target?What I hope for:
---------------DDG---------------
Darmian---Mike---Rojo-----Shaw
--------------Bastian--------------
-------Herrera-----Schneiderlin--
Mata-------Rooney--------Depay
What it will be:
--------------------DDG-----------------
Darmian------Mike----Blind------Shaw
Mata----Carrick---Schneiderlin--Young
-----------------Depay------------------
------------------Rooney----------------
Saw this, ideally this is the team we should be putting away.
That's really quite damning. Was a common trait of Fergie's teams how they would roll over those 'middle 6' teams regularly.
Nice to see Arsenal also upholding their reputation as flat track bullies.Why do I have the horrible feeling we won't score? I guess it's our dire away form last year that has me worrying. LVG has to do better this season.
Surely that is no myth? Sir Alex built his house on the foundation of rinsing the bottom teams for max points then letting the chips lie on the top 6 matches where they fall.
Saw this, ideally this is the team we should be putting away.So is Dave not expected to play against Villa also?
We simply don't look like a team that can score goals. it's not just you alone thinking the same.
It's a fair feeling to have. We don't seem to be clicking at 100% yet. It's clear that we have a few new signings in the starting eleven, and some are still adapting to Van Gaal's philosophy from last season. But with these new players now, I think we're more suited to it. I'll give it a couple of more games until we start to properly click. Think getting Pedro in as soon as possible would be awesome. Plus, I think once Memphis gets a little more comfortable and a little bit more like his PSV self (regardless of the position he plays in) we'll be making a lot more chances.
Reckon this game will be tight. Villa will play for a draw and just hit us on the counter.
Probably not. I'd expect a game soon though, if he's come out and said those things about being ready to play still.
We will be minus 2 goals because LVG is the worst manager everYou just know LvG is going to put out a tea that has players out of position for no reason, with better options on the bench.
I can't wait for the 3 man defensive midfield, and the Caf meltdown when teams are announced
Chris will deny him, don't worryHow many friday matches are there going to be this season?Is there a presser for this today?
Think this is just a one off. Not part of the Sky deal. There is an EDL march in Birmingham tomorrow so the police asked for it to be moved.
Yep, 2:45pm
Yes, at 14:40 BST
Would have been a Sunday but we play on the Tuesday so only other option was Friday night.
MUTV schedule says 14.30 BST.
Should actually help us having that extra day.Neil Warnock gives his assessment of the game-
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/neil-warnock-hopes-christian-benteke-6244588
"The way they are at the moment, I am expected a dour, horrible game with hardly a chance from Man United, with Man United winning 1-0."
"I do hope Benteke starts to get like he can do."
"Tim (Sherwood) has worked really hard getting players in and I want to see the place bouncing."I see no changes from the last game, but if there was a change it would possibly just be Schweinsteiger for Carrick, but what do we know really its LVG ruthless radical and fantastic. My prediction was 3-0 win we do really well against Villa usually a comfortable scoreline and I dont see no change to that pattern this game, a bonus this game would be a nice lead and young Peirera getting a run out.Hoping for:
De GeaI'd even settle for:
Darmian Smalling Rojo Shaw
Schneidy
Herrera Schweiny
Mata Rooney Memphis
Herrera Schweiny
Mata Memphis Young
Rooney
The poll option at the end aswell - Shut up, Neil with no other option.
Anyway, i can feel RVP scoring 3 this game.- Status
