Let's see what will happen, though.Akinfeev still the CSKA goalkeeper.. once upon a time he was linked with United as van der Sar his successor. Supposed to be a good goalkeeper. Dzagoev was also supposed to go to Chelsea and be the next big Russian star.
Besides those two i only recognise Wernblom his name from his AZ period.Are these any good?10/11 . Put Lingard instead of Bailly .Gone for 2-0
Well it is play with numbers. We will have 3 central defenders. 2 wingbacks. Herrera and Matic will play centrally together. Then we will have Mkhitaryan behind Lukaku and Martial most likely. Normally you call that 3-4-1-2 or 3-5-2. Although Martial will more often than move out to the left I think so it could look a bit like a 3-4-3. Young on the right will bomb forward more than Blind on the left with Lindelöf pushing higher behind him compared to Bailly and Smalling that will be the most defensive defenders.
Also expect Herrera to make forward runs as well helping out our attacking players.
We used this formation in half the games of the pre season. So I do think we know what we can expect with it. Quick counter attacks on Lukaku and Martial will be key for us. When in possession we will use our fullbacks and Martials ability 1 vs 1 moving out more towards the left. Mkhitaryan will play a similar number 10 role that he have in 4-2-3-1. Big difference is there is no Mata, but Herrera should hopefully give him a player to combine with a bit more than Fellaini.
They are at least used to play on this stage.Looks like 352, or 343 or 3412 or 3421 tonight.
This is a sort of system which will give freedom for martial to not drop deep to defend. He should have a great time tonight.I recall that we played 3-4-3 against Rostov at home last season with Mata and Mkhi on the wings. So that formation would make sense tonight.
No. Blind and Young will be up against their wingbacks and Martial and Mkhitaryan will be further up the pitch.
It can also be a 352 attacking.Don't like three at the back. For us it's just one attacking player now missing.
Thanks. Will hopefully have too much for them then.Looks like a 3.1415926 to me.good lineup, hopefully Martial and Lukaku can score many goals today!
Lift your head up from your plate, mate!I see a boring game incoming. Either 1-1 or 1-0 United.
IIRC Akinfeev had some homesickness issues so could never really manage to leave Russia. A shame though, used to be really highly rated, but he has made a good enough career for himself after all!Looks like Jose is going to ride Young like a rented mule.Really like the look of this team, hopefully they put in a performance as good as the team sheet suggests.Hmm, be interesting to see our back 3 in action, hoping the Russian atmosphere doesn't get to Lindelof mentally and he has an improved showing. Sticking with 1-1, not expecting much excitement either, but I'd take a draw here it's probably the toughest away game in the group.10/11
Should have guessed Lindelof would start this.Dammit think I had Rashford in over Smalling.Surprised Lingard isn't starting this one.
me too. will come as subtitute later with Rashford maybe.
We are going to smash them
I think we will destroy them.Jose giving no fecks about liverpool.
He gave them few minutes, not more then that.
And I had a feeling he wanted to say something else.I had CSKA to win 5-0 but I've changed my mind seeing the line up. New surge of confidence. 5-1.50th Man Utd appearance for Mkhi apparently. That went by so fast!Looking like a 5-2-1-2:
De Gea
Young Lindelof Bailly Smalling Blind
Herrera Matic
Mhiki
Lukaku Martial
Very decent team considering our injuries. Always difficult in Russia, but we should get the job done. These games are Jose's bread 'n' butter.Probably the best formation considering we're away in the Champions League with the injuries we have in midfield. Should win, but would settle for a draw.This is the better Moscow team right? That lot Liverpool drew to last night were horrendous.Big game for Young tonight
get the feeling we might rely on him for creativityMust keep their RB quiet he was very good against us few years ago.I'd take a draw and no injuries right now.In our new third kitIncredible atmosphere!I heard Lukaku is mint on astro turf. Expect a hat trickBailly waving during the anthem- Status
