if we can't beat these convincingly then there's no hope left at all
We might aswell accept as a club we are done.
Think Mata might be out but I agree with this lineup (Rooney in for Mata). Huge potential for that side, though it would be debuts for Rojo, Shaw, Blind and just the second game for Herrera and Di Maria. Completely different to the side we've been seeing so far this season though, hopefully nobody else picks up an injury.Only terms and medical left for Blind to join us. Is it too early to have him in the list?
I truly want us to go for this next game.
De Gea
Rafael Jones Rojo Shaw
Herrera Blind
Di Maria Mata Januzaj
van Persie
Didn't include Rooney because I'm just fed up of his donkey touch in the last 3 games.
-------------De Gea--------------
Rafael - Jones - Blackett - Shaw
--------------Blind--------------------
------Herrera-----Di Maria-------------
-------------Januzaj----------------------
----Welbeck--------Rooney-------------
Or if 3-5-2, Get Rojo and Evans in Januzaj and Blackett out.
--------------------De Gea
--------Jones-----Smalling------Rojo
----Rafael---------------------------Shaw
-------------Blind-------Herrera------
--------------------Mata
------------Rooney--------RVP
How I wish could recover from these darn injuries.
De GeaWould like to see this but I doubt it will happen.
Rafael - Smalling - Rojo - Shaw
Blind - Herrera
Mata/Januzaj - Di Maria
Rooney - van Persie

Why would you have Blackett in the team over Rojo in a back four but not a back five?
You're a ray of sunshine.Even if we win this, which, as embarrassing as it sounds, we may not, it means absolutely nothing. We'd have 5 points after 4 matches, when there'd be teams with 12. Teams we can't hope to actually beat, either.
3 matches in and I'm already dreading this season. Let's hope for a top 10 finish, we'll sort it out next season.
I have this idea that Jones and Rojo together would be too much fighting and not concentration. In a back 5 however i think Rojo is faster than Blackett and a better one on one player because he is a bit more aggressive, don't know for sure though
Same was said about the people who predicted 5-0 to MK dons... how did that turn out?I think its comedy genius that some people have actually predicted 5-0 to QPR

This is assuming Shaw and Herrera are still out
We should probably wait an hour after the games before opening the next GDT so people could cool their heads down before submitting their predictions...I think its comedy genius that some people have actually predicted 5-0 to QPR

The part of my post that's wrong is...?You're a ray of sunshine.
Think i'd prefer Rooney up top and Mata where you had Rooney, or RVP up top if he's more fit by then. Welbeck isn't better than RVP or Rooney and will never be
I don't see an end to the 3 at the back until LVG tries it with the players he has bought.
So until Rojo & Shaw (plus Blind protecting them) have been tried and tested the formation is not going to change.
But this match is sooooo far away, the wait is going to be painful!
