There were 18 players at the hotel. Both McNair and Rojo were there. I can see both being on bench.

Watch us play a blinder in the absence of Rooney

If we do, it won't matter, he'll just be slotted back in.

We need an rvn · Sep 12, 2015

surprised about Schneiderlin...however I assume this is one of the exact reasons we bought Schweinsteiger, for the big game experiences

ha_rooney · Sep 12, 2015

No Schneiderlin?! Strange decision.

J-Stander · Sep 12, 2015

Carrick and Schweinsteiger is possibly the slowest midfield pairing in history.

Damien · Sep 12, 2015

United XI: De Gea; Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Shaw; Carrick, Schweinsteiger; Mata, Herrera, Memphis; Fellaini.
Subs: Romero, McNair, Rojo, Schneiderlin, Valencia, Young, Martial.

Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Lovren, Gomez, Lucas, Can, Milner, Firmino, Ings, Benteke
Subs: Bogdan, Toure, Sakho, Moreno, Origi, Rossiter, Ibe

Schneiderlin on the bench is surprising. Rest was predictable.

Bugzy · Sep 12, 2015

Just realised. HERRERA!!!!!!

Lovren starts!!!!!

I'd expect Wilson to be on the bench so the record shall continue.

McNair is.

Record intact.

No mobility in that midfield

Reminds me of when Fergie used to play Scholes/Carrick together away at Anfield, and they'd constantly get overrun.

LVG seems to have gone with experience for today, really hope it pays off, but my gut says its a big mistake

the hea · Sep 12, 2015

That is a very average eleven for Liverpool. We should be all over them.

Wtf, Morgan on the bench?

Makes sense with Fellaini starting as FW and Hererra as AM.

Attila · Sep 12, 2015

Win by a couple of goals and we can be second. So annoying we should have beaten Newcastle and Swansea and be right up with City

OneUnited24 · Sep 12, 2015

Watch Felliani have a stormer and hold up the play like we need

Bugshot · Sep 12, 2015

Coutinho will have a field day against Carrick and Bastian. But I think LVG is confident with De Gea so he has opted to go without Schneiderlin.

cj_sparky · Sep 12, 2015

Battle of the long ball

VanGaalEra · Sep 12, 2015

Surprised Morgan misses out!

Will need Herrera to drop back and make it a 3 man MF.

iBoss · Sep 12, 2015

Liverpool bench is shite

Aporkalypse · Sep 12, 2015

Schneiderlin is definitely getting on the pitch at some point then.

Yeah, Carrick and Scholes wasn't exactly Usain Bolt on coke

I am amazed that Schneiderlin is not playing. Maybe he sees Schweiny and Carrick more big game players

Bastian · Sep 12, 2015

Countinho is banned

Hoof the ball · Sep 12, 2015

Can anyone see how much this is going to benefit Memphis? any balls or passes to Fellaini allow Memphis to run onto and drive through the middle. I think this is going to prove very effective today.

Bugzy · Sep 12, 2015

De Gea being back in goal is like Christmas.

First start for Ings.

Jagga7 · Sep 12, 2015

Who would have thought a year ago that Fellani starting would make us happy??

The Law of Denis · Sep 12, 2015

That Liverpool bench is dreadful

Ole's_toe_poke · Sep 12, 2015

De Gea, Herrera and Mata in the same 11. Feel the love.

DWelbz19 · Sep 12, 2015

Carrick and Basti? Bah.

Lucas, Can and Milner. We should be absolutely dominating that midfield today

That lineup is a recipe for disaster.

Agreed. No 'Hendo' and all of Skrtel(bad), Lovren(awful), Gomez(young) have serious flaws.

The thing is mate, he is banned.

Scrumpet · Sep 12, 2015

Since when is Schneiderlin a safer pair of hands (feet?) than Carrick?

VanGaalEra · Sep 12, 2015

Bastian said:
agreed

The quality of Basti/Carrick and Herrera should shine through.

The White Pele · Sep 12, 2015

This is exactly the kind of match we should be using Schneiderlin for IMO

DomesticTadpole · Sep 12, 2015

Walters_19_MuFc said:
No Schneiderlin concerns me a bit, especially against the energy of the Liverpool midfield. We should hopefully be able to dominate with those two, though - almost like Scholes and Carrick did a few years ago.

It is when Carrick pulled out of the England game, Bastaina has played two games and Morgan only one international. I picked Bastian/Morgan.

SalfordRed1960 · Sep 12, 2015

Happy with that side. No excuses, Schneiderlin to come on for Carrick after 60 mins.

Browniee · Sep 12, 2015

What a time to go into a Liverpool game with no fit striker.. Going to be a long game
