Agreed. It was frustating to play 0-0 against a lower league team but on the other hand the more games we get the better at this stage of the progress.

I would like to see this.
Really? Isn't that lineup too strong for little old Cambridge? I'd rest a few for our tough game this weekend.Is this on the telly box at all?
BT.
Nice! Cheers mate.
West Ham arent exactly tough?Hi lads, any updates on the weather up north? Still looking clear?----------------DDGea-------------
-Rafael--Smalling-McNair--Shaw-
-----------Herrera--Blind------------
-----Fellaini----------------Mata-----
-----------Rooney--Wilson----------This'll do
West Ham, this season, is pretty tough. Especially at Upton.
We only play Sunday, there should be enough time for our players to recover. I think we will put out a strong line up.
West Ham away is a very very tough match, make no mistake. However, that match is about 5 days away so I'd put out almost a full strength team tonight.
I like that team. Valdes should get his firstteam debute, and Januzaj should get another match under his belt so he hopefully get closer to topshape, same with Falcao. Could probably play Wilson instead of Di Maria maybe. Lingard is loaned btw.No disrespect to Cambridge but I hope we stuff them tonight. 4-0Looking forward to this tonight.
Yep. That would be niceThere is no way LvG will be playing a weakened team. He knows this is our only chance of a trophy.
I'd like to think Mata and Herrera will come in at the expense of Rooney and Di Maria. I expect Janujaz to play as he won't at the weekend in a 352.
No Rafael so Valencia at RB.
We will win this very comfortably.
Good fast flowing, attacking football please.I expect an almost full team to night, Cambridge have nothing to lose and will come at us from the start.
I have no doubts we will win and will well tonight.
What makes you think we will be back to the 3-5-2 at the weekend?Hope we score a few goals today and deliver a good performance.
Herrera should start today!
He should, but he didn't in the first game. I hope things change.
Believe.
I'll try.
I think I read that he expects Young to be back soon, maybe for West Ham, plus, I don't see him playing the diamond away there considering they have a good home record and only a handful of points below.
A fit Ashley Young and we go 352 - my bet.Guarantee Cambridge will bring out the bus and play counter attacking football. Stephen Elliott is a bit of handful, even though Rojo did very well and kept him quite he was very aggressive none the less and could be the bogey man for united if they get caught on the counter. Also need cut out their main man Donaldson, made the united midfield look like right idiots which is unacceptable. I want to see united keeping the ball on the GROUND and play short passing, one-two football. They knew that they were a 6ft+ team but they kept playing the long balls which was very frustrating.
I'm hoping for Herrera to start, its puzzling me why he isnt getting regular football considering he does make the midfield move better when he is on but if he doesnt tonight then somethings going on. Also like to see Valdes make a debut, rest DDG considering the man deserves it. I'm stuck between physical (felliani) or class (blind) in the defensive midfield, so i'd go for class considering Blind was brilliant against Leicester. Ill drop Di maria to the bench, hasnt been too impressive in recent games but thats because he's not in his favorite position imo. So i can see him coming off the bench in 2nd half.
My Prediction:
-----------------------------Valdes---------------------------
Valencia----------Jones---------------Rojo------------Shaw
------------------------------Blind---------------------------
-----------Herrera---------------------------Januzaj-----
-----------------------------Rooney-------------------------
------------------Falcao-----------------RVP-----------------
BENCH: Lindegaard - Smalling - McNair - Felliani - Mata - Di Maria - Wilson -From a morale point of view this has the potential to be a real banana skin. Optimistic, though.Are we on tele tonight?
BT.
fecking BT.
That's them.
Better not be Monotone Owen
5 days to West Ham also means if someone important gets injured he won't play in a few of the big games coming up.
Cambridge will play very physical, I have no doubt about that.
Cambridge will be sitting in their own half, that's for sure. Will they be physical? Didn't seen much of their physical side in the first game.
No point in playing around injuries, history illustrates that most our players get injured in training as opposed to actual matches.Hopefully a strong team but with Herrera included and Rooney up top.Is it on the tv tonight
BT sports
That's the dream.I'm not sure we'll see Rooney anywhere else but midfield from here on in this season. van Gaal has played him there enough, don't see him scrapping it before Rooney becomes comfortable in the centre of the park.If Rooney plays in the middle LVG should have to take a shot of tequila every time Rooney fires a 60 yard pass to the Cambridge left back.- Status
