Indeed. It's pathetic. The LVG defence force won't mind though.
Ditto. I'd have played Schneiderlin with either Basti or Carrick but Herrera will give a bit of pace to the link up play.
Agreed. We would've been better off keeping RvP then.Fellaini up front, I wanna cry.He might even go 4-3-3 with Carrick sitting and the other two in front. So it kind of becomes a 4-1-4-1 in attack.As the captain is not available. The vice captain must always start!
Not really sure about Fellaini up front. He needs players running off him and only Depay will do that.
I know, it's going to be beautiful :')
He has been a threat up there since he played there. He was shite as a CDM under moyes.
Not if he just moves to the other side like Gomis did in the Swansea matchWell, this is going to be interesting.Yeah it's a bit of a weird attack. Not ideal having Fellaini up front from the start, but the alternative of throwing Martial in the deep end isn't ideal either. Very surprised to see Carrick and Schweinsteiger start. Not sure what Scheiderlain did to deserve being dropped.Don't care how we win. I will take any kind of win over Liverpool. Beating them will soften my pain of my girlfriend ditching me for her friend's sleepover.
Hopefully tears of joy.The biggest Club in England starting with Fellaini as it's striker
.
It may well work. Remember when SAF played Rafael + Park in midfield? Pogba left
Now watch big Felli get a hattrick
Andy Carrol would be a threat, Crouch would be a threat. They aren't the calibre of number 9's a club like United should be playing. Neither is fellaini - he may even score today - doesn't change anything.Fellaini starting as our striker is an indictment of our team building. Appalling.Liverpool will pay attention to Fella which will leave space for us, Memphis, Mata or Herrera to score first and I feel Basti gets a goal today. I don't see us playing 'hoofball' early on (maybe late on if needed) just using Fellas natural advantages and Martial will be used today and I think he will score.
Just to be careful I will apply the reverse curse...
Liverpool to win 3-1
Don't see anything pathetic in showing some support for the team before a big derby like this. But instead, people prefer to only take the negative emotions because the easiest thing is to be a moaning little teenage girl.
Don't take everything for granted and you might actually enjoy a bit of footy for a change.Why are people writing Fellaini off so quickly?Fellaini is playing as a striker?Martial and Memo his better turn out to be world class or we are fecked.
Where is the attacking quality in this squad? It's atrocious.This'll be interestingIm sure Fellaini will score today and thats brilliant, lets hope it secures us the 3 points. Its still not a great situation for us to be in that that is our most effective scenario upfront.
So it's not pathetic to be firmly up Van Gaal's arse? The stuff Van Gaal is doing would of seen Moyes ripped to shreds. This is the philosophy? Fellaini upfront. We already play crap, slow, football and now Fellaini is upfront.Wilson on loan....honestly.I'm not worried about Fellaini as a striker. He causes all sorts of problems....and hopefully will against this dodgy Liverpool defense.
Can't see why not to be honest. He's going to be more than a handful for Lovren
Apparently, he is as shite as Carrol or Crouch. I haven't seen them produce some of the stuff Fellaini does on a regular basis for Belgium or did for us last season but people will never give him a chance because we overpayed by 4 million pounds.We should be fire up for this no matter who we have up frontThe tall shithouses often make good strikers, I can see what LvG's thinking is here, clever stuff.
It can be very effective. But it sure as hell wont be pretty.
You do have to question how we've got ourselves into this situation though.
its not his debut?So excited to see de Gea back.
Well, it depends on how you describe "running". The typical definition in British football may be different to the German one. You'll see many people in here saying Schweinsteiger and Carrick "can't run". That's the definiton I'm talking about. You can easily play fast-paced football with these two.
Anyway, I don't get all the panic in here. If there's one thing van Gaal's shown in his time here it's that he knows how to set his teams up for the big games. We've been almost flawless so far in matches like this.
I cannot wait for this to start. I just can't feel optimistic with Fellaini up front.The mids and wingers need to know that not everyball needs to be played in the air to Fellaini and that he is pretty good with his feet and we need to use that.
Yeah people keep saying that, at no point did thry create anything with Gomis outmuscling Blind, nor was Blind at fault for the goals on that basis.
He's not wrong though.
So much is going to depend on how quickly those two develop this season.Fellaini will be just fine...if nothing else the hold up play will be massively improved! stop moaning.
DDG is back
Herrera is starting
Rooney is not playing
