Pretty much. Ffs i'm outta here

what do you guys expect.
another injury to a cb in rojo, Rafael hasnt made it again, and obviously stronger options sitting on the bench whilst we could very well being using a formation thats hasnt produced any kind of decent performances all year and cost us points that could see us involved in the title race.

Dylan94 · Dec 14, 2014

To be honest I don't like that line up. The back 4 has changed yet again and Phil Jones is either going to get injured or sent off. Don't think Wilson should be playing but I hope he proves me wrong. I do like Fellaini in this game so he can get physical with their players but I'm worried about him getting sent off. Who is the ref? Undecided about Young purely on the wing but I like him and he's been playing very well recently. We need Rooney to have a big game performance today to win.

Because Mata+Rooney+Wilson are all involved with RVP my prediction is Carrick drops into defence and a midfield 5 with Roo and Mata

Or, it's a simple diamond, that we've played repeatedly at home.

Pexbo · Dec 14, 2014

Blind, Di Maria, Rafael, Shaw, Rojo, Smalling all missing. All of whom you could argue would be starting today.

How's your "Injury Crisis" Brenden?

anurag · Dec 14, 2014

Why is everyone convinced it's 4 at the back. It could very well be 3-5-2 with Carrick, Jones and Evans as CBs.
Looking at the subs bench, we have 2 more CBs, which makes the case for 3-5-2 stronger.

HabeasC · Dec 14, 2014

Apparently Rojo got injured in training

Err, Jones is rapid.

Yeah pace isn't a problem. Neither are very good aerially though, but Lambert isn't starting so can't see it being a problem.

No Di Maria or Herrera and our midfield looks bang average. We had a chance to dominate the midfield today but it looks like it'll be a battle now.

It won't matter who plays today as long as the team plays well.

KYcinco · Dec 14, 2014

Football Manager has really turned fans into "know it all'z"

Judging by some of the comments already, I can tell this is going to be a happy place today.

It's really weird. The whole place is in a panic.

Wade3 · Dec 14, 2014

Three at the back? That'd shock me. It looks more like a 4-4-2 diamond. It's a shame di Maria isn't in there. I wonder if Januzaj will receive a chance today. He has not played well this season, but as a threat going forward, he could help us out.

stu_1992 · Dec 14, 2014

I'm happy enough with that team, I doubt it's a proper back 3. It'll probably switch between a back 4 and back 3, depending on what's happening in the game with Carrick dropping back. Rojo must be injured.
Wilson starting is an odd one, must be for his pace. Interesting to see if it works out.

YouOnlyLiveTwice · Dec 14, 2014

BlaBlaBla---its 3-5-2 we looose---BlaBlaBla BlaBlaBla---Jones starts we Loose---BlaBlaBla BlaBlaBla---It's never my way, LvG is clueless---BlaBlaBla

I will just sneak in a comment that we are currently 3rd and have had a bit of an injury crisis, but ok let's go nuts like every single time before a match.

Rafateria · Dec 14, 2014

-----------------Jones-----------------
Johnson--Skrtel--Lovren--Moreno
------------Hendo..Allen--------------
---------------Gerrard-----------------
--Lallana---Sterling---Coutinho---

Jones for Ming and Hendo for Lucas are just crazy. Talk of 3 at the back too.

J-Stander · Dec 14, 2014

The lack of confidence in Herrera is glaring. Herrera could've been vital today but instead were being lumbered with the wig again.

In before the sack the physios brigade.

Well how well the team plays relies massively on whose playing, particularly in midfield.

Of course.He had to compensate for Jones getting fit.

Ham · Dec 14, 2014

MDFC Manager said:

Yes of course, which would be much preferred, but wouldn't Hererra be a better CM than Rooney or Mata?

Raptori said:

Apparently so, and don't call him Surely.

ha_rooney · Dec 14, 2014

Very attacking formation. I'd have gone for Herrera over mata. I really hope it's not 3-5-2.

Ole Gunner Scholes · Dec 14, 2014

A big day for the young guy

entropy · Dec 14, 2014

In other news Evra just scored for juve

2 man midfield · Dec 14, 2014

Sky saying 352, not sure whether they've had a tip off or something but wouldn't it be more likely it's 41212 with Carrick in the holding role?

Borys · Dec 14, 2014

The number of fit CBs is constant. Jones in, Rojo out.

I think it's a very bad idea to play Mata in this game but there must be something more into it, maybe Rooney will play in midfield? Doesn't make sense that way either but lets wait and see.

We have capable midfielders. The whole is greater than sum of its parts.

About time Wilson delivered on the hype he gets on here.

He's had a few chances, now it's time for him to score.

I don't mind if he scores or not, I just want to see him doing Welbeck's role, harassing defenders, closing down space, linking up play and generally being a workhorse

ryan cook · Dec 14, 2014

That's not a bad team, I would have preferred Herrera in for either fallaini or Mata but im not the manager. Great to see Wilson starting, I am really hoping he scores his first goal of the season.

Dylan94 · Dec 14, 2014

If Rooney and Van Persie play well today then we will win. If they don't then we won't. It's all down to them in this game for me.

Sammyjunn · Dec 14, 2014

Mata and Fellaini? Rojo is a United defender isnt he?

Not even on the bench with two youngsters (Blackett & MacNair) as backups, i guess he has got a niggle

It'll only work out if we play like a team. There won't be that much space you'd think and it depends. Often you see games against Liverpool and the balls bouncing everywhere. If we keep our composure it'll be easier.

I'm going for a 2-1 united. Wilson to get 2 goals! Sadly one will be an OG

The ordering of the MUFC Lineup Graphic has usually been quite revealing. It does suggest a 4 man defence so fingers crossed.
