    I almost never stream games anymore, so help me out here. Does caf have a thread for streaming?

    If a great stream og the best site for streams landed in my inbox, that'd be fine too.

    Bleurgh dont fancy that. If the 442 is unbalanced between attack and defense, why play Januzaj, Di Maria and Rooney in there? I can see the opposition gliding through that way too easily.

    Diamond of Blind-Herrera-Di Maria-Rooney or Blind-Fellaini-Di Maria-Rooney feels a better fit.
     
    If true that looks a flat 4-4-2 rather then a diamond. Would be really disappointed if Herrera didn't start though. feck off one of the strikers as they all underperforming constantly, push Rooney up top where he is best and put Herrera in midfield. Its not rocket science.

    Expect LvG to whine about a lack of balance for the next 3 months if he goes with that line-up. Jesus Christ, a single CM and 3 strikers. If that's the real line-up it'd be quite obvious he doesn't have the balls to drop either of Rooney or RvP.
     
    I've supported LVG to the hilt so far this season, but even I'm starting to waver. That lineup is so stupid.
     
    It'd been a perfect game to try Herrera-Blind-Fellaini in the diamond with Di Maria at the top. That predicted line up already looks like a lost midfield battle!
     
    So damn tired of Rooney in midfield. We lose a great attacker and gain a mediocre midfielder. That plays every time.

    To be fair, put Herrera on for falcao or rvp and push Rooney up top and its perfectly fine. That one change is stupid as hell though and clearly just trying to shoehorn all the strikers in.
     
    surely the lineup isnt the real lineup. People need to calm down. One of Fellaini or Mata will play.

    Yeah, but he's (apparently) not doing that. So its not fine, its stupid.
     
    United XI: De Gea, Valencia, Jones, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Januzaj, Di Maria, Rooney, van Persie, Falcao.
     
    Why not try a normal 442 and see how it works? Can't be more bad than the shite we have seen since the Villa game.

    I'm just saying, not something you should turn on the manager for as infuriating as it is. Remember Fergies constant mind boggling selections?
     
    3 strikers and 1 midfielder. Hope our possession will be in the attacking third today.
     
    I think that this may actually be the least balanced side we've played all year, for all his fecking talk about it.
     
    Herrera should have started instead of Januzaj. Picks too attacking a lineup and will then twitch his ass all game our Louie.
     
    Di Maria-Rooney
    --------Blind

    Midfield 3?
     
    No Rafael on the bench? Is he hurt again? If not, I can't understand why Valencia would continue ahead of him.
     
    No Herrera..... Ffs.

    Of course though he'll complain about balance afterwards, ignoring he played 2 poachers up front, a striker and 2 wingers in midfield leaving only blind to play deeper. Amazing how 99% of people can see the obvious change that would help but the one person who can't is the manager.
     
    Oh look we are shoehorning all our big names into the line up again, Falcao and RVP both starting haha.

    Oh well, C'mon lads!
