Not for me. Keep it the same as today.Unless there is injury I hope we play same team. We can make 3 subs every game, so no need to force Di Maria or anyone else back into the team.
My prediction was Liverpool 1-3 United, but a draw is a good result long term. Avoid defeat which I think we will do.I do think they'll beat us, went for 2-0 but I don't think it'll dictate who finishes where.A win for us at Anfield? Nah, that would be far too convenient for us in the race for fourth.
What's more likely is that Liverpool will drop points at Swansea, and we'll fail to capitalise by beating them, and let them back in.
We always do things the hard way. That's the way we work.
But that wouldn't impact us.
If we avoid defeat against you lot, it'll be a massive step for us.Di Maria for Mata the only change I'd make.Feck it, lets beat them. Same team please.I'd go with the same team, but maybe di Maria for Mata. We could win if we produce a similar effort to today, but I'd obviously take the draw. I'm perhaps slightly more optimistic now, but I know that can change very quickly.Same team.Best case scenario, we're 8 points clear of them this time next week, worst case, they're one point above us. They'll probably beat Swansea tomorrow and that will make for a nervey week ahead. If we can replicate today's performance next week then I think we will at least draw. I don't want to see Jones in the starting XI though, keep Blind at LB and hopefully Rojo will be back.
Shaw in for Blind is the other change I would make, Shaw as a defender can handle Sterling better than Blind can ever hope to.
Yeah if he's fit, which I have no idea if he will be.As good as today was, away games are still a completely different kettle of fish for this side so I am by no means confident. Go with the same lineup and have Di Maria as the first option off the bench if we are struggling.
Have to agree with you there,no more tinkering.
I'm looking forward to this game now,had we lost today or confidence would have been shot.
Oh I had no idea about that too.Considering our away form a draw would be a fantastic.
That being said, they may drop points against Swanseai will be on a plane at the game timeSame team except Di Maria for Young.
Mata was class today whilst Di Maria has been crap recently. No way does he deserve to start over Mata.Urgh worse tie of the season for me. Anything but defeat pleaseMost important game we've had for 3 years.Win and we're chasing City for second,lose and we're likely going to behind Liverpool in 5th.
I'd take a draw.I'll be happy with a point.
We will in our arse dominate the game, but we won't need to un order to win.Team should be...
---------------De Gea---------------
Valencia--Smalling--Jones--Shaw
---------------Carrick---------------
-------Fellaini--------Blind-------
Di Maria------Rooney------Young
Park the bus, defend for our lives, hit them on the break and hope we get at least a point
Mata over Di Maria all day.De Gea
Valencia Smalling Jones Blind

RooneyWorse Liverpool teams have thumped better United teams in the past. Home advantage makes us favourites. That said, it's going to be intense and tough.Won't be much in this. Doubt either team will win it by more than single goal.
Liverpool supporters thinking they're going to destroy United are dreaming.
1-1 for me.Yeah I don't think they'll dick us, I'd be more than happy to return from Mordor with a point.See it being tight, but fancy a United victory, but just, maybe 1-2. About time we turned up at Anfield.
Hopefully, slippy G gets a game to disturb their current midfield flow. Also, Coutinho and Henderson have probably had their quota of long range screamers.
I fancy the Scousers to come straight out the blocks looking to use their speed to unsettle our back 4. Maybe, a scary first 10 minutes. Then see us going down the other end, maybe even first attack, and scoring. It will then be end to end. I'm going to put a tenner on United getting a penalty to go 0-2 up. All in the first half.
Second half total domination by Liverpool, but they only get a consolation goal very near the end.Same team as today, bring on Di Maria in the second half when Liverpool tire. They will definitely press the hell out of us and try to score early, need to be at our best possession-wise. I'll be honest, I don't expect anything but a Liverpool win, we haven't turned up at Anfield in ages. We won a couple of games yeah, most recently in 2012 with the Van Persie pen, but overall we've shat our pants at their place in the last decade.Ddg
Valencia Smalling rojo blind
Carrick
Herrera Fellaini
Mata rooney Di MariaSame team please.
Di Maria will be better suited to take advantage of Liverpool's LB who likes to come forward. Also think Young will keep Can (assuming he is preferred to Johnson) busy.
Rooney's movement and Fellani's physicality should give Skrtel and co a few problems.
When they have the ball, Jones/Smalling/Blind/Valencia are going to be very to be busy keeping Coutinho/Sterling/Sturridge quiet. Herrera/Carrick going to be very busy keeping Henderson/Lallana/Allen quiet
Spurs were undone first half playing 2 against our 3 in midfield. We do not want ot make the same mistake against Liverpool.Play with the same intensity as today and we can get a result. I really hope LVG keeps the game plan simple. Looking for us to press the feck out of them from the first whistle to the end.Everyone and his mum has pointed out that we probably played out the second half unambitiously against Spurs to save energy for the Liverpool game.
Too often we've heard that and then seen sluggish performances the week after. I hope we actually get to see some of that energy we were conserving, otherwise we might just as well have tonked Spurs for 5.We're going to do them.Tactics, lineups, formations bah who cares just fecking beat these cnuts!!!
(or a draw, that'll do too)We can follow in the footsteps of the likes of Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City and Bolton Wanderers and come away with at least a draw there in 2015.
We have nothing to be afraid of. They are a good side but they are not great. It's a good job they think we are shite, they struggle to put away the shite at Anfield.- Status
