Januzaj needs to have a big game tonight, I don't think he's going to be given many more chances.

Hope he does but doubt it. He looks too weak to me.

The bench is bloody great. Maybe we should just sit looking at the bench.

I hope he sits Fellaini in his optimal position right behind the manager. He's wasted when wide of the camera shot.

I'm beginning to think that. He wants his arse kicking if that is the case, because he is just thinking of himself and not what is good for the team or the fans.

Why are we starting 2 strikers again? It doesn't work.

Everyone 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.

The rumour is that AdM is in goal and DdG will be taking the corners to keep Jones firmly in his place … the 100% human principle

I would prefer, really. The reactions of the bench must be more entertaining than the game.

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.

Because you support Man Utd? And that your support is there through times that are shite, as well as great?

Fergus' son · Feb 11, 2015

Great team!

Hoping for a performance from Di Maria and a brace from Falcao.

goin4glory · Feb 11, 2015

Another painful line up. If we don't win tonight he should be sacked on the spot.

Flying_Heckfish · Feb 11, 2015

No Mata though? Baffling

Make Van Gaal look like he has an Afro.

Ahh, of course! Good thinking.

Because van Gaal isn't man enough to drop one of RVP or Falcao. It is infuriating.

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.

Shaw is suspended though so he had to bring in Evans or Smalling. McNair is a better option than Valencia at the moment. Jones is match fit, Smalling isn't. I think it's that simple.

tob · Feb 11, 2015

I guess it's nice to have some level of consistency in the starting eleven. Too bad it's not the right players for my liking.

Hoping for a performance from Adnan for a change. If he is rubbish in the first half, take him off.

I think we should all start telling LvG we agree with his formations and team selections, I have a feeling that's the only way he'll actually stop using them.

The more we tell him he is wrong, the more he will try to make the current set-up work.

One Night Only · Feb 11, 2015

I wouldn't mind a river.

Its not like I'm going to stop supporting United or support someone else, but why waste 90 minutes watching zombie football sold as 'philosophy'? I can just see the boring 1-1 draw on the highlights later...

At the moment I'm just finding a way to accept the fact we may not be getting back into the top four tonight.

Aye, just about the same great team that played West Ham, that went well.

You are being a tad dramatic mate.

Lewis.no.9 · Feb 11, 2015

utterly terrible lineup and crazy that Smalling is behind Evans and Jones just because he isnt left footed. He and Rojo is obviously our best CB partnership. Deary me this lineup. Not dropping the under performing stars and pushing them all in again is comical.

He carries this on and he will lose the players, and when that happens.......its bye bye Van Gaal

Americano · Feb 11, 2015

Herrera is still in Dutch prison?

Why isn't Smalling match fit? He played full game vs Cambridge and then was simply benched I thought.

Not out of stubbornness. Just to play devils advocate, Herrera isn't going anywhere, we just bought him and he can chill on the bench for a bit. He wont drop Falcao because he's running out of games to prove his worth. He can't drop RvP because once he drops him, its more or less the end of him at United. Theres simply no playing his way back into the starting lineup at his age, especially not with Wilson waiting and eager. Plus he's the captain of the dutch national side and LvG obviously has a soft spot for him. Rooney is the most undroppable of the lot. New contract, new captain, etc. He simply has to accommodate all three in the starting lineup and unfortunately it looks like Herrera is the one to miss out. I genuinely think that's all there is to it and Herrera probably understands the situation. Unless either of the three get injured or suddenly become very shit, Herrera wont see much playing time this season.

Our midfielders on the bench again. I'm starting to think that our new era is formations without proper midfield.

Fixed for you

prateik · Feb 11, 2015

These lineups are really fecking annoying.
The only way it could be worse if he played 5 at the back with Blind at left wing back..

Then we'd have the anti-PEP formation. 5-0-5
