City are more or less playing the entire team that will start on Sunday. I'm less worried.

They are at home though, so they won't have to travel much.

Fellaini's days are numbered.

I'd say Schweini for Carrick is a nailed on sub for about the 60th minute or so.

That is a daring prediction.

ShakeUnBake · Oct 21, 2015

I think van Gaal likes the way Lingard tracks back, which is something that improves the balance and defensive shape of the team. If we don't concede any goals tonight, we're winning it, CSKA aren't that solid at the back.

hbgreg · Oct 21, 2015

Poor decision re Lingard but LvG is smarter than me.

Mciahel Goodman · Oct 21, 2015

Lingard starts, wtf?

If @bosnian_red got this one right then something is fishy as feck.

.Rossi · Oct 21, 2015

These three in the studio.....My God

"So guys, what do you think of Juan Mata's winner?!"

Rio: "Awh it was sick man. That's going down in social media history mate. #Buzzin"
Scholes: "Was alright yeah..............."
Hargreaves: "It. Was. INCREDIBLE!!! Douglas Costa incredible. Best in the world, like my hair gel"

The journey on the aeroplane won't make more of a difference to the players that play and those that don't.

Is Rooney is shit as he has been , should be replaced in second half for Depay

DWelbz19 · Oct 21, 2015

CSKA's team out?

Lewis.no.9 · Oct 21, 2015

would give anything for some martial goals tonight.

Wut? How is that a poor decision? We've all been crying out to see the likes of him get a chance right?

OnlyTwoDaSilvas · Oct 21, 2015

That'll be Carrick starting the derby then, and not Schweinsteiger.

DM07 · Oct 21, 2015

6/11. Absolutely fecked in the lineup game.

I'd say so, he's not even getting starts in the games you'd expect him to cover for players. Can't say I'd be that gutted if he left anyway, he served his purpose when we needed him but in truth, he's never the type of player United need.

PlayerOne · Oct 21, 2015

Where's Pereira?

He should be disqualified no matter what.

Why a poor decision? I thought he looked decent when he came on versus Everton, and its good to give Mata a bit of a rest with the Derby coming up.

Sevilla will give them a very tough match though. A lot tougher then ours tonight..

pseudo_canadian · Oct 21, 2015

Good lineup, happy for Lingard.

But what's happened to Pereira?

Sigma · Oct 21, 2015

10-9 to us will be fine'

CSKA Moscow v Man Utd (19:45 BST)

CSKA Moscow boss Leonid Slutski: "We are only bothered about the result of this match and not how many balls [goalkeeper Igor] Akinfeev fails to catch.

"If it ends up 10-9 to us, that will be fine. We have a team with plenty of experience. We have played a lot of games against big clubs – some have gone well, some a little worse – so we're ready."

I like this guys attitude, this could be a very entertaining game.

Why would Mata need rest if he was taken off early vs Everton?

ChaddyP · Oct 21, 2015

Happy with the team. Perfect for CL away game. It can sit deaper than we usually do and has very good going forward for counter attacks.

Sied · Oct 21, 2015

Lingard

Hope he doesn't have the anonymous game I can see him having.

Looks a good team to me. Worry we're overplaying Martial but then this is a big game, so I wouldn't say I'd have gone differently.

Martial looks like a brick house and I haven't noticed a sign of fatigue. He seems to be quite good at conserving his energy until he makes his move.

Very good point. He knows when to slow it down and when to turn it on. Picks his moments like some top player in their prime, not a teenager. :lol:

Borys · Oct 21, 2015

Only worry is about Schweinsteiger. I would rather play Carrick midweek to keep BfS fresh for Citeh.

Not really.

Doesnt matter if he had a year off 2 games within 4 days is a big ask.

He's just turned 31. Not 39.
It's not as if our style of play involves too much running or physical exertion compared to other English sides

hobbers · Oct 21, 2015

Don't know why he's decided to change the entire right flank. By all means give Mata a rest for City but Darmian is surely one of the last ones you need to worry about keeping fresh. Schweiny is the only one I'd be concerned about with a 4 day turnaround.

Darmian's probably the player who's looked the most tired.

Sounds like 8/11 might not be too bad after all.

Don't think his ceiling is as high as others.. Rather Pereira get the shot who's not even on the bench, more like Mata anyway.

That's what I am wondering. I thought he was ahead of Lingard in the pecking order, even on the wing.

Looking forward to this , looks like Hargreaves is in the studio with Rio and Scholes , thank feck for that .
