    De Gea
    Valencia - Smalling - Rojo - Young
    Carrick
    Fellaini - Herrera
    Rooney
    RvP - Falcao

    Feels a little harsh to leave Mata out of the lineup after a great performance against Hull, but I think Falcao will start. We need him fit and back scoring before the festive schedule.
     
    Would make sense to drop Rooney for this match if he got some kind of tweak vs Hull. Then we can bring Falcao in without dropping one of Mata or RVP, who deserve to play again. Wouldn't make many other changes besides that. It's hard enough getting any kind of fluidity going vs Stoke as it is without chopping and changing

    LvG already said somewhere Falcao won't start, 20 minutes or so to get back into the rhythm, and get his fitness.

    Reckon it'll be the same team as Hull (after Di Maria injury) unless Rafael is ready to roll.
     
    We have won the last 5 games against Them at OT, that is enough for me to be confident of a win :D
     
    brings back memories of Moyesie being 2-1 down to them last season, before we stole it with 2 late goals.
    Shikes!

    I;m impressed we can get away with playing two wingers at full back!!
     
    Will be the same team as of the weekend - Angel.
    Hope Herrera and Mata start.
    Should be a comfortable win.
    Clean sheet and some nice play. Thank you kindly
     
    I think this will be the starting 11

    ---------------------De Gea--------------------

    --Tony---Smalling---Rojo-----Young------

    ---------------------Carrick---------------------

    -------------Herrera--------Fellaini--------------

    ----------------------Mata-----------------------

    ------------Rooney-----------RVP-------------

    I think Rooney and RVP will come out sometime during the second half if we have a good lead, RVP will definitely come out around the 60th-ish minute with Falcao coming in... I believe if we have a good lead then he will sub out Rooney for Adnan and end the game with Fletcher coming in for Herrera or Young... I think we have a really great chance to shine in this game... Fellaini is doing the business, I'm not worried about Stoke bossing our middle or CBs... we've been good at home and I think LVG and the squad are very keen to defend home. I have high hopes for December, we can come close to first and second place, there is a very big chance we can over take Southampton for third if we play smart and NO MORE INJURIES! I hope Wilson is good to go against the scousers and he scores on them, great way to get his United career goin
     
    So pretty much everybody almost agree to the same squad. 11 points for almost everybody :D

    Is in the subs were some will get more points on this one. Falcao is one sub to be sure to happen. The others I'm going with Januzaj for Mata and McNair as the other one, but Fletcher is another one possible. Hopefully it is McNair.
     
    I'm still not remotely comfortable with seeing Young line up at full back. It worked out reasonably well the other day, but a full back he isn't and I could see it costing us. I assume Evans won't play seeing as he lined up against Southampton in the U21s, so I'd be tempted to stick Blackett at full back, or shift Rojo out wide and partner Smalling with McNair.

    I would if I could. If I attempted that at my office, I will be kicked out before I know it.

    In the same boat here. I'll be avoiding the score all day, no checking the 'net at work so I can watch delayed coverage when I get home.
    Then the same again next week.
    It doesn't feel right watching it delayed, but I'd rather do that than watch the game already knwoing the result.
     
    I'd happily take a quiet but solid 2-0 win. Nothing silly or spectacular here and then fire into Southampton/Liverpool.
     
    Feels good having midweek games again! Waiting a full week between games is way too long. Probably the worst thing about not being in the champions league or Europe league.
     
    Pisses me off because it starts at 4:45am. I'm really busy this week so I won't be able to watch it.
    But Hawkwind have announced two dates in Tokyo for next year so it's not such a bad day. I also had a curry and then spent an hour in the new shopping centre looking at cute girls.

    To the lads who won't be able to watch the game but want to later; download acestream. Once you've downloaded it open Acestream > Tools > Stream output > Default stream output chain paste this
    Code: 
    #duplicate{dst=std{access=file,dst=C:\Recordings\Recording.ts},dst=display}
    .

    Save it and reopen the player.

    All done! Now go to any popular stream website (pm me if you want a decent one) and load up the acestream link and once the stream is loaded up, press the little red button (it's for recording) on the bottom left of the player.

    Just leave your computer on for the entire time and keep away from the score! Watch the game like it was live ;)

    EDIT: Btw, for me, the recorded games appear in "My Documents" folder. I'm running windows 8.1. For some others it may appear in C:\Recordings

    You are a star. Thanks very much.
     
    Same line up as Saturday unless we have good news on the injury front ( Rafael?). Expect the same type of dominant performance but more importantly 3 points! If we win the next 2 games we could possibly be 3rd by the time we play Liverpool!

    2-0 Rooney and Herrera
     
    Big win and another clean sheet will do nicely here, if Liverpool can manage to beat these then surely we can put a few past them
     
    Lineup prediction asking me if I'm sure I want to pick 6 MF's :lol:

    Probably thinks I want to play a 2-6-2 formation
     
    A convinving win will mean a hell lot against a side that played well against City and Pool. It would also mean that we’ll go with a lot of confidence against S’ton and Pool next week, so we absolutely need the victory for this game. I hope that an early goal will give us a boost

    I know that he’s very important to our team, but I’ll rest Carrick for this game and I would play Fletch instead. He came from injury recently and we have tough tough games coming ahead and we can’t afford to lose him

    Hopefully our midfielders will do the job and we’ll have the ball when our defenders ( I’m still afraid with Valencia/Young as full back) won’t be too exposed
     
    Time to get a run going. No pissing about with massive chopping and changing unless it's forced by injury.

    Same defence until 1st choice players return from injury. Set the team up around Carrick and Rooney and it's an easy win.
     
    I would like Falcao to get 90 mins. I know how good he can be and it's frustrating knowing he hasn't got a rhythm going yet.
