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.

It's not going to change anything but we're more than welcome to comment on its madness. One of the world's greatest strikers is being ruined infront of our eyes.

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

Godfather · Jan 31, 2015

Will be interesting to whether this will turn out a 5-3-2 or 4-4-2.

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

9 here, just no Mata or Fellaini. Give it a bit and the points might update. If not, Niall'll sort it.

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.

I'm sorry, but no.

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

I think we picked the same team. :lol:

Someone · Jan 31, 2015

I think we're going to win this, but i don't see the need for rooney, van persie and falcao to play at the same time.

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.

Rooney has been playing as a midfielder for weeks. This is nothing new.

Great, Rooney in CM, Di maria on the wing and Herrera on the bench. What was the point in signing Herrera exactly LVG?

ColvaleGoa · Jan 31, 2015

Such an unbalanced side is asking for a tonking! I am kinda getting worried about LvG and his philosophy shite! We will make Leicester look like Barcelona.

Mersault · Jan 31, 2015

@Ole's_toe_poke No it isn't. But we've almost got a full squad to select from. Is he really better in midfield than Herrera? Will he be disciplined enough to keep our shape? ...

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

Not if it's Angel di Maria as a RM or RCM, Valencia will look to pass him the ball at every possible opportunity and when he has no where to go he knows he can pass to valencia, find space and get the ball back.

And if it's Rooney as a RCM, he will still need to drift wide, he loves passing the ball to Valencia so he'll do exactly that. Valencia will be more worried about linking up with rooney, he'll be hoping Phil Jones can find some space back in our half.

It says I got 0 right in the prediction when I got 9 right

Smores · Jan 31, 2015

Good enough for the day.

What I don't get is what the hell LvG thinks balance actually means as his lineups have anything but balance.

I actually think he is that desperate for RvP and Falcao to start scoring, he will pick them no matter what.

TwoSheds · Jan 31, 2015

442, Rooney in midfield. Fergie, is that you?

Shyftyy · Jan 31, 2015

I am strangely excited for this game. Maybe it's feelings of revenge but I have a feeling we might get to see some good soccer today. (Hopefully from our team)

Balance means no Herrera.?

villain · Jan 31, 2015

Are people going to say "Rooney in midfield again" as if he hasn't done it for years now.

No, because if SAF was still here, Rooney might not be.

Same here.

Honestly if we can't beat the team at the bottom of the league at Old Trafford then we might as well give up!

Apart from Rooney in CM [something i hate] - how is this line up not balanced? It's like most of you just moan for the sake of it.

The Stain · Jan 31, 2015

Want to hear our fans screaming Herrera's name. He seems such a nice fellow and is being unfairly bullied by this crazy dutchman.

Empire · Jan 31, 2015

Just because the book has an unbalanced cover does not mean the book will be unbalanced.

A bad 10-15 minutes and I'd bet my mortgage on him switching to 352.

Why would Rooney in midfield lessen the balance?

Dobba · Jan 31, 2015

Couldn't give a shite about the lineup, we had a bunch of posts lauding it prior to the Cambridge game and the performance was still utter garbage. It means absolutely nothing if the players are going to choose the easy/lazy option all afternoon like they have recently.

Randall Flagg · Jan 31, 2015

Heh, that's my first team selection I got 100% correct

Fergie was understandable... He had shitverley, but louis' got blind and Herrera....ADM with a shout there as well....

Ekeke said:

Maybe because he's a striker playing in CM.....I hope someone can explain to me how this line-up is unbalanced though.

Its fecking mental.

Jones over Smalling too.

Jones is the better defender

Papii Grande · Jan 31, 2015

Anyone else think this match is this season's fulham game potentially?

You know...the straw that broke the camel's back for Moyes.

vibe · Jan 31, 2015

De Gea
Valencia, Jones, Rojo, Shaw
Blind
Januzaj, Rooney, Di Maria
RvP, Falcao

I can get behind this lineup. Very frail at the back, but we should be storming these. Get an 8-0 done, relegate them today, crush their mentality.

I'd be grateful if some nice person sent me a pm with a fresh source of running water.
