Manchester United 3:0 Hull City

Borys · Nov 29, 2014

Well that's a lineup I wouldn't chose but fair enough, we have another game on tuesday.

i think McNair should be playing, he's earned it. feck all this is one of those lineups LVG seems to pull out of his backside every now and again.
di Maria not on the wing? that will help.

It's a good line up.

Ham · Nov 29, 2014

I don't think Falcao was likely to start and risk injury again by playing him for 70+ minutes, not happy about the 3-5-2 though.

DDG
Smalling - Carrick- Rojo
Valencia---------------------------Young
Fellaini - Rooney - Di Maria
Mata
Van Persie

or

DDG
Smalling - Carrick- Rojo
Valencia----------------------------Young
Fellaini - Di Maria
Mata
Rooney - Van Persie

Amadaeus · Nov 29, 2014

Looks unbalanced, but very potent going forward.

The White Pele · Nov 29, 2014

If the order of the names as listed by the official MUFC twitter account is anything to go by then it looks like:

------------------DDG
-----Smalling----Carrick------Rojo
Valencia--Mata--Fellani---Di Maria---Young
------------Rooney---RVP

Raptori · Nov 29, 2014

Another possibility:

De Gea
Smalling Carrick Rojo Young
Fellaini
Valencia Rooney Mata Di Maria
RVP

or

De Gea
Valencia Smalling Carrick Rojo
Fellaini
Mata Di Maria Rooney Young
RVP

3-5-2... normally I'd hate it, but I think it could work for this game... only negative for me is RVP starting over Wilson/Falcao.

Wilson has a knock so it's wise to rest him as opposed to making his injury worse.

Falcao has just returned from injury and we all know the problems he has had therefore bring him on for the last half hour.

Martin(6)Buchan · Nov 29, 2014

Would have played McNair myself

I think Blackett, McNair, Herrera, etc will start that game.

Jagga7 · Nov 29, 2014

Cmon put Herrera back in the team, he's way better than Fellani.

DomesticTadpole · Nov 29, 2014

You know someone in that back 4 will get injured, so Blackett or McNair will come on and bugger Herrera again.

carlosp · Nov 29, 2014

Glad to see Mata back in the squad.

feck knows.

It's a diamond/3-5-2 hybrid I reckon. Carrick being the pivotal player between CB and midfield.

Switch rooney and mata of course, but I reckon as we're home, hull city will park the bus so Van gaal is fine with putting 2 wingers like valencia and young at fullback. It's like a 3-5-2, but as you say, a diamond hybrid. A diamond where the fullbacks will be like wing backs.

Amethyst · Nov 29, 2014

Hope everyone else near to top has got players wrong for the lineup game, I can only get 10 points max now.

Shark · Nov 29, 2014

That's some bench. I'm just happy that Falcao is back and will most likely feature today.

Sammyjunn · Nov 29, 2014

Funny to see all those different line ups, tell the story of the season so far, there is no consistency and stability yet.

BarstoolProphet · Nov 29, 2014

Haha, didn't expect that lineup. And after seeing LvG's comments to Guardian I had a feeling the previously undroppable RvP would be dropped. But it makes sense if Wilson is injured because Falcao is probably not fit enough to last 60 mins. Shame Fellaini gets picked over Herrera, would have preferred Fellaini against Stoke and Herrera against Hull. That back four doesn't exactly fill me with confidence either but we should beat them.

RetroStu · Nov 29, 2014

So Van Persie is playing?, after Van Gaal was in the Sun saying how shite he had been so far this season.

SkeppyRed · Nov 29, 2014

So I guess RvP IS undropable

want to see wilson starting but he is not part of the matchday squad so he could be injured more than anything

anyway hope rvp can get himself a goal or two and put in some good performance. he badly need this.

poor herrera, cannot get a game these days. falcao to come on and score too please...

Mr.Kaya · Nov 29, 2014

So he thinks Carrick is better than both McNair and Blackett as CB suddenly? Wow...Shame that Wilson is injured again..I was really looking forward to see him from start today! Good that Mata is back in the team though.

I got 9 out of the 11, including one from the subs. Have the subs been announced?

This? The 3-5-2 doesn't make sense to me because Fellaini, Mata and Di Maria does not look like a good midfield at all.

He'll drop Wayne before he drops Robin.

Needs to take his chance for sure today, might not even get on the pitch for Stoke if he has a bad one today.

SirAF said:

Sure, it's good enough to get the points. I just think McNair has done quite a good job and I would rather he play than Rojo. In LVG we trust.

Freak · Nov 29, 2014

Apart from our fullbacks, that's a pretty good lineup. Fellaini is undropable at the moment due to his form so I can understand Herrera still sitting it out after coming back from injury. Only question mark is RVP who continues to get picked regardless of his shit form.

Señor · Nov 29, 2014

I'm pretty sure it's a 4-4-2 diamond/3-5-2 formation with Carrick stepping forward.

-----------DDG------------
--Smalling-Carrick-Rojo--
Valencia------------Young
------Fellaini-Di Maria----
-------------Mata---------
--------Rooney-RvP------

ha_rooney · Nov 29, 2014

Will be interesting what formation we go with. I'd love to see the diamond with Di Maria back in his best position.

McNair's unlucky to miss out. Hopefully Mata makes an impact

Antisocial · Nov 29, 2014

Well that's fecked-up my line-up game entry :lol:

8 from the start and only potentially one from the subs

Wilson must be injured I guess.

Sylar · Nov 29, 2014

Wilson injured right? I have a feeling he would have started given LVGs words? Who knows.

Need the three points, hopefully we start off pinning hem back and an early goal.

ZIDANE · Nov 29, 2014

It's Hull at home. We should win whatever formation.

Hopefully get to see some of those subs later on (Falcao & Herrera) after RVP scores.

Bring back that mentality.

Carrick starting ahead of those two means we can go to 4-3-3 and be more comfortable.

Danny Boi · Nov 29, 2014

Really interested to see how this team line up.If it's 352 then one of Mata,Di Maria or Rooney will have to be a CM.I hope it's this:
De Gea
Smalling Carrick Rojo
Valencia Fellaini Di Maria Young
Mata
Rooney Van Persie

Chrissypop · Nov 29, 2014

It's

vodrake · Nov 29, 2014

Wilson's injured apparently (according to Eurosport) and Falcao's only just come back from a couple months off, RVP was bound to start whatever

Irrational. · Nov 29, 2014

Having seen that lineup, I don't think LVG knows his strongest XI yet.
