9 but I just picked blind.
8/11 today. Pretty crummy performance.LvG is not afraid of anything. He knows he will never get sacked.Just got back online, the Sky internet went off for about an hour. Was furious. 7/11 not good.
lets hope the team's performance is not worse.I presume the fact we are playing this midfield means that LVG intends on using Schneiderlin-Carrick against Newcastle.Surprisingly strong team. Hope Fellaini doesn't expose us in that midfield by leaving his partner high and dry. Not a lot of pace in team which is a concern. Other than that it should clearly be enough. Should being the key word.
If he's asked to get into the box on every attack, then leaving his partner exposed is likely. It's similar to Ramsey for Arsenal when he plays deeper. Having said that, I think we'll more play with more of a 4141 today, rather than a 4231, with Fellaini being the most advanced midfielder - similar to his role at the back end of last season.7/11.Hard to judge these cup games.
You would think so.Fellaini being a United player is like a joke that wasn't really funny in the first place but then your irritating mate keeps retelling it over and over.Martial starting was the most obvious thing, don't understand why people are surprised.
Front three of Mata Rooney Memphis sounds terrible.Awfully brave of Owen Hargreaves to get that close to the Old Trafford pitch, could do himself some real damage if he's not careful.All the talk about predictions is boring me to death.I had CBJ in my team and then for some reason thought LvG might give McNair a game and move Blind over to LB
Don't read it then.
Why is Rooney the only player that always needs that "extra" game to find a bit of form. It's January and he's still needing that extra game to find form despite playing all season. Not a dig at your post, just find it funny anytime I see this.
I don't know, he has made the mad decision not to play Schneiderlin in some key away games so far this season. Arsenal being the most foolish omissionWould have liked to see Pereira over Mata, Keane over Martial. Hopefully we score early and give them some time.
Exactly my thoughts.
Agreed
Instilled in his game. Even under Fergie he needed more games after an injury to accustomize to the match rhythm again.Doesn't look good for Memphis, Pereira and McNair if they can't get a start. Not surprising given their form/age. But Martial needs a break once in a while as our season depends on him.Fellaini - the shit stain of Manchester United.
Nice, using a joke to tell a joke. LolAC Millan need to up their bid for Fellaini.Holy hell not leaving anything to chance is LVG, that's near enough our strongest 11.
Embarrassing really.
that wasn't the point i was trying to make, mate.
We will struggle from the get go so might aswell have him on the pitch from the start.Hope Fellaini as a cracker.Some of the comments have been out of order.
Possibly, but this is how LVG did it the last time we had a quick turn around. Against Stoke he played Carrick, Fellaini and Herrera, then a couple of days later against Chelsea used Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger and Herrera.
Of course, we lost against Stoke by doing that as they just walked straight through our midfield.
I have found a positive of him playing today - it probably means he won't play against Newcastle. If he doesn't score today.Memphis not even playing against the likes of Sheffield now. Not really a shocker giving his form, but I'm still somehow hoping he can find his form and suddenly become class..
Apart from being a good 3-4 players off being our strongest XI.
Edit: More like 2.
I know but I feel it's just another "get Rooney out of jail card". I hope it all ends today
Less strong squad - bad result = LVG is a clown, risking the FA cup in his situation.
Strong squad - positive result = Embarassing.
Just flow along, we need results, doesnt matter how.
I'm thinking of the last time we played a lower division Yorkshire team at home in the 3rd round.Would like to see Memphis and Pereira both get lots of time today. If we can't play someone like Pereira against Sheffield, what's the point of having him around instead of sending him on loan? Otherwise, decent lineup. Martial needs a rest and I think Fellaini adds feck all to our play, but the past version of United would win this tie handily with that lineup.
Indeed.Baffled as to why Fellaini's getting so much stick. Hoping he silences a few people.- Status
