Evans is best at left CB and is coming off a decent game last week in the cup. Know it was only Cambridge but still.

No one is good at the line up game with Van Gaal here. Don't put Herrera in and you are off to a good startChrist I'm shite at the line-up game
There was all that fuss in the press when Falcao was left out for a couple of games, so there can't be any "must play" clause.
It must just surely feel very awkward leaving a 250k or so wage on the bench, so therefore they all usually play.
Hasn't quite panned out as the goal feast it should have!-------------DDG
McNair, Jones, Evans, Rojo
---------Blind-Rooney
----Januzaj--------Di maria
-------Falcao----RVP
#philosophy Everyone thought LVG would make changes.Our best midfielders on the bench again. I'm starting to think that our new era is formations without proper midfield.Time for Di Maria to turn up.
Funny enough, if by some disaster we don't make Top 4 I would be more worried about my future if I had been playing in the side this season than if I hadn't.What a joke Seriously..
I can understand him wanting to keep Jones-Rojo in the team as you need some consistency in defense. McNair and Evans in. Would be too much change with Smalling in too.As far as team selection is considered, this guy is the Enigma.
Woodward is not Uli Hoeness nor Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, you know. I don't see anyone able to hold that kind of massive power over the manager.Genuinely don't know if I want to watch the game now. Why bother? Its going to be flat as a pancake. Van Gaal's talk about 'balance' seems so shallow given the midfield he keeps sending out. Picking sides based on who does well also seeming like just talk, given how rubbish Falcao and Van Persie were at West Ham. When Fellaini came in, did well, and kept his place I respected that. However, now its big names not big performances that get rewarded. Van Gaal is not the manager I thought he was.At least Valencia is on the bench.
Evans has a left foot, Smalling does not. Philosophy™
Ahh yes just seeing this chairs. Curtains for Rafael surely
I'd agree if he was actually using him in his best position.Van Gaal needs an intervention.
He's been awful of lateShould certainly be enough to win the game. However, 4 centre-backs, 1 central midfielder, 2 wingers and 3 strikers; it's an unbalanced mess of a team.any acestream links please PM. English preferred.
ThanksExcellent bench yet again. I really like how LVG puts his benches together.It's the right line up to be playing. McNair deserves a chance at home to Burnley ahead of Valencia. It is surprising to see Falcao not dropped but I haven't been convinced by Herrera yet. I don't think he has a career here unless he starts taking his chances in big games. Januzaj should thrive in a game like this and give us a bit of width. I am expecting a nice win tonight...the worry is that Van Gaal doesn't seem to have the first clue how to set us up for away games
Di Maria seems to play well when Mata and Herrera are playing, when there's lots of movement round him. Instead he is stuck with only RvP and Falcao ahead of him.Pretty excited for the 70th minute when we've looked like shit all game so we bring on Fellaini and just launch the ball to him. Fun times ahead.
The bench is bloody great. Maybe we should just sit looking at the bench.11/11. what the feck.
Agreed, but Januzaj needs to start having more impact on games imo. He wasn't good the last match, but hopefully he'll do better today.
Disagree. He made a changes from:
Valencia – Jones – Rojo – Shaw
To
McNair – Jones – Evans – Rojo
So basically a whole new defence. Yes Jones and Rojo stay but the latter will play leftback so there is no consistency in their partnership at all.
Then all the silly beggar is doing is adding fuel to the long ball fire. God he is stubborn.Januzaj needs to have a big game tonight, I don't think he's going to be given many more chances.At least both Falcao and RVP are playing and Rooney is in midfieldThis team sheet should be srtiking fear into everyone we face, instead it fills us with complete dread! Thanks LVG you killjoyEveryone has it wrong. Rooney is actually playing CB and Jones has moved forward in to midfield. Jones will also take all free kicks, corners and penalties.What the feck does Herrera have to do? I swear he knows Herrera will vastly improve us but because he's getting pressure to play him he refuses to out of stubbornness.It's a good team and I expect us to comfortably win. I don't know what people are upset about or expected.
Same asMata
Fellaini
Herrera
on the bench
Rooney in midfield.
Why ? What does Rooney add ?Wait, this isn't on TV?! fecks sake between that and the line up I'm already in a mad mood with 45mins to go before a balls even been kicked.Falcao and van Persie upfront with Rooney in midfield yet again isn't my preferred lineup but at least he resisted the switch to 352 with Shaw being suspended.- Status
