Manchester United 3:1 Leicester City

Man-United · Jan 31, 2015

I have not had faith in LvG for a long time and think he will end up as a failure here, but won't complain with this lineup if it's a proper 442. Let's try it when everything else has failed.

Balance.

Not having used one in a long time, if anyone could PM me a River I'd be greatful

Invictus · Jan 31, 2015

Me likes.

Really exciting and attack minded lineup. Only point of concern is Rooney in midfield than as a #10 in lieu of Van Persie or Falcao and Ander at #8 but meh, I can live with that. Atleast we're gunning for it. Can't have it all at once.

rooneyaldo · Jan 31, 2015

I think it's a diamone

Back 5
Blind
Rooney ADM
Januzaj
RVP Falcao

Which is great

Maybe the fans should just start chanting Ander Herrera in the hope van Gaal gets the message. Worked with the 4-4-2.

It has a lot of attacking players, but falcao and rvp up top with Rooney in midfield isnt exciting at all. They just don't suit each other or those positions, two of them will be left isolated up top from the rest of the team... Its annoying.

On paper it is, I know I have a lot of fun playing similar teams on PES 2015. I'm in a good mood today, a lot more positive than in previous matches.

Would be better with Rooney up top and Herrera where Rooney is. However this team should win and win convincingly

Why is Smalling on the bench behind Jones . Is it because he can't take corners like Jones can?

I've said it before, but I don't think LVG rates Smalling. Jones and Rojo are a better partnership IMO.

Borys · Jan 31, 2015

Back 5
Blind
Rooney Di Maria
Januzaj
Falcao RvP

This could work actually, if Rooney has a fine game. Strikers duo looks like it isn't going to work but if that midfield clicks we we'll be flying.

I'm actually positive about this game.

Jacob · Jan 31, 2015

Hoping for this:

DDG

VALENCIA-----------JONES-----------ROJO-------------SHAW

BLIND

ROONEY----------------------DI MARIA

JANUZAJ

VAN PERSIE-------------FALCAO

Would've prefered Fellaini for Januzaj, switching places with Rooney.

Ole's_toe_poke · Jan 31, 2015

WTF is wrong with you people.

Most of you have been moaning about playing a diamond and now that he's playing a diamond there's more moaning.

The only difference is its Januzaj playing inplace of Herrera and about half of you have been moaning that Januzaj isn't playing enough anyway.

Let's atleast wait and see how the match goes before losing your shit.

Nice balance on the bench...

MDFC Manager · Jan 31, 2015

I think its going to be a classic 4-4-2.

WPMUFC · Jan 31, 2015

rooney is now a midfielder. Move on.

That's what I hope to see too. That team would win easily enough imo.

Tincanalley · Jan 31, 2015

What's up with the lineup-prediction thing? I got eight positions right, but its telling me I got no points?

I would worry being the wideman having to link up with Valencia.

Giggsy92 · Jan 31, 2015

So is Jones ahead of Smalling in the pecking order, or is Smalling just a victim of the 'no starts until someone else gets injured' policy? Hopefully it's just the latter, but I can't help but feel LVG doesn't rate Smalling, despite him being comfortably our best centre back so far this season.

I got 8 right as well, although I might stop doing it again. Sick of picking Herrera and the manager doesn't.

Man-United · Jan 31, 2015

Hope Di Maria turns up today for once.

Does the Caf prefer a diamond to 4231? Also, I think it's down mostly to not having more than one midfielder and accommodating 3 strikers. But of course, we shall see.

We are going to batter them.

True

Although, if its a diamond, I really feel sorry for Blind here!

Walters_19_MuFc · Jan 31, 2015

It could be the same as Cambridge, except Rooney in for Fellaini.

De Gea
Valencia - Jones - Rojo - Shaw
Blind
Rooney - Januzaj
Di Maria
Van Persie - Falcao

that team is more than enough to beat Leicester .

Both are too erratic IMO. Will cost us matches through silly errors that Smalling doesn't have in his game. Although I don't think Jones has been that bad, particularly earlier in the season, so i will give it a chance.

WPMUFC · Jan 31, 2015

Kag said:

He is continually playing there and we have no say in the team. In what situation does LVG ever play rooney as a striker again when we have seen Di Maria will go into a forward position over rooney.

No amount of talking is going to change anything. we have to move on.

DomesticTadpole · Jan 31, 2015

Kag said:

Could be in a way. Wayne is the star he is through being a striker, not an average midfielder. The only reason he is still in the fans focus is that he's the captain. If he wasn't he would be getting the stick Fletcher was getting.

ChaddyP · Jan 31, 2015

I personally think it's a fantastic line up. Surprised everyone is having a moan. I have longed for us to play a 442 with januzaj and di maria. Rooney has been great in midfield and should be considered a midfielder these days. It's a home game against liecester. Let's not be so dramatic.

Freak · Jan 31, 2015

Great. Rooney in midfield again when we actually have a proper midfielder in Herrera on the bench. Philosophy.

Man-United · Jan 31, 2015

Hoping for a lot of boos for Vardy.

Hopefully he comes on as a sub, I had him and Fellaini, no Januzaj or Falcao.
