Rather have played Johnstone than ROmero tbh.

Personally i would do that aswell, but Romero is our 2nd keeper, he needs games, so it makes more sense that he plays.

Djemba-Djemba · Oct 28, 2015

That's a decent team that. Looks to be strong enough to win whilst still giving a few of our top players a rest.

Obviously if we lose 5-0 then I'll totally blame Van Gaal for putting out a weakened team.

Don't get why Romero gets ridiculed so much.

He's ok. But the gulf in class between him and DDG is like the gulf in class between Cech and Ospina. I never see the point in resting keepers...it's not like they run about much is it?

That's really a poor midfield, isn't it? I mean, we should win but I was hoping we would get one of Herrera, BSF, or Schniederlin in there.

Yeah, I'm worried that Boro might exploit it with a bit of pace. Hopefully we can get an early goal or two.

Is this game on tv in England?

I think it has more to do with giving Romero some game time and keep him sharp in case de Gea gets injured.

Not if it is the 4-3-3 of the last season with Pereira playing the role of Herrera, which is what I hope it is as Fellaini is not good as a holding midfielder.

I had Morgan in. He is getting a complete rest. Maybe shows that is what he sees as his midfield three now.

I don't think it's about fatigue, but more about injuries and such. Why risk an injury to DDG when you can play Romero for a game like this?

This is the first time he has ever rested De Gea I think. Last season he was played every match regardless of its importance...

I definitely won't complain if the triangle with Schneiderlin, BFS, and Herrera is what he sees now. I just feel we have a chance at this trophy and would like to see us move through.

Nope, Pool - Bournemouth's on Sky instead.

Ballache · Oct 28, 2015

Very exciting team tbh, Memphis needs a good performance so hopefully he delivers. I also hope perreira plays centrally and not on the wing in a 433.

Last season de Gea held us at gun point with his contract. Maybe Louie wanted to show him how important he was? Anyones guess.

He needs to play games in case DDG gets injured. There is a gulf in class between a Martial and Wilson as well from the little they have played. Romero wasn't that bad apart from one game. It's more of a notion that he is more shit than he actually is.

He didn't like Lindegaard.

I only got 7/11. I am dropping like a stone.

I was fairly happy with my 7 for a league cup game!

Raw · Oct 28, 2015

I really hope Memphis impresses.

YouOnlyLiveTwice · Oct 28, 2015

9/11, didn't see Smalling and Romero start. Besides that, it's great that LvG has the balls to put out a youthful attack, it's what United is about.

I hope that our youngsters click together tonight as they haven't played much in the same team before.

CR#7 · Oct 28, 2015

looking for a river, thx

JinnerJamie · Oct 28, 2015

8/11 happy with that.

Someone · Oct 28, 2015

I'm happy with the line up but worried.

apparently beIN Sports Connect and Fubo TV from USA showing game live, so lets hope some of our American fans helpfully upload a stream!

Im not sure if you guys can do it over in all or just some European countries but Fubo have a 24 hour free trial for their services or 6.99 USD a month. You can do the free trial just to watch today's game.

Swagawa · Oct 28, 2015

9/11, can't catch a break in the line ups; may be my 3rd game in a row getting 9. Really didn't see De Gea getting rested.

Edit: feck. Thought Jones was playing instead of Mike. It's actually 8/11.

madhed · Oct 28, 2015

What time is it over there ? I though your clocks went back a week or so ago ?

Adisa · Oct 28, 2015

I think I should just stop is line up prediction game.

Scorpy · Oct 28, 2015

Thought I had 11/11 but just saw that I have Jones instead of Smalling. Fecks sake!

Went back an hour just a few days ago. It's 7:23pm right now.

bucky · Oct 28, 2015

Is Jones injured or has he a knock? No defender on the bench.

Havak · Oct 28, 2015

Surprised with Romero in goal and thought Rooney would stay in over Wilson, also no Jones, but I expect that is an injury of some kind considering he's not on the bench.

Sam · Oct 28, 2015

Teamsheet looks like Memphis upfront, Wilson right wing.

Interesting....

Cheer up, there's always a chance that Fellaini will have a career ending injury if he plays.

What is this post? Hopefully there is some harmless joke which I missed.

Mmm, still think we should have enough without having to play him.

Carrick's the captain tonight, not Smalling.

Rojo and Blind could play with Tony V and Darmian as full backs. I know we're thin in defence with McNair injured and Jones it turns out nowhere to be seen. But I don't see why we need to play him.

Valencia is injured

pauldyson1uk · Oct 28, 2015

have we really rested DDG ?
I don't like swapping keepers unless injured.
I think you need a stable solid keeper in all the time, its not like he has to run away all match.

Shady · Oct 28, 2015

Boro always reminds me of Pogatetz ending Possebon's career at top level

Nah notice the semi colon ";". Lingard, Wilson and Memphis are our front 3 reading off right to left. Following similar format with the defense, for example.
