how the feck can people complain? There's an excellent!!!! chance that we are top of the leage in 3 hrs... Lvg is shite.........

Wonder how the media will deal with that? By the way are you me? I picked exactly the same team as you and the same subs. Or did you pick the same team as me?

Why are we playing with 2 defensive minded CM at home against Sunderland

bosnian_red · Sep 26, 2015

Good lineup. Will probably be Schweinsteiger and Herrera against Wolfsburg then, but those 2 midfielders are going to be the rotated positions. Rest of the team is our strongest 9, but we have 4 very good midfielders so they'll be rotated constantly. Let's hope we score plenty today, improve the goal difference a bit.

We can lose though.

Remember that 3-2 defeat at home to Blackburn a few years ago? They were bottom of the league at the time and a win would have put us top...

This is not a day for slow possession football. That is exactly what Sunderland want. Go at them with pace from the start and we could make a real statement today.

Isn't great that we have a midfield that we can rotate at long last and a good one at that?

R'hllor · Sep 26, 2015

That back 4 might be a bit balanced,good defender in Darmian on Blind side,who is not better defender then Mike and he as better defender gets less better LB in Valencia.

I hope our players know about this City result.

I imagine they do since the OT crowd will be buzzing with this game on under the stands.

I hope they don't it will just increased the pressure. But we really need to take advantage of the City result.

If we win today, this will be the first time we've been top since SAF left?

They better get used to the pressure of challenging for a title. This should be a huge lift to them, not added pressure. Chance to go top.

Luminous Lizard · Sep 26, 2015

I always feel that we'll drop points when our rivals do. Hope I'm wrong and we can go top of the league.

Think we were top on the opening day of Moyes, we beat Swansea 4-1

Nobody wants to know how many starters you guessed, not any of you!

Because even though his performances in the league have been relatively poor he still creates chances and seems to be building a good understanding with Martial. His potential is too big to drop him now, especially for Young who is 30 and struggles creating goals. He also runs behind defences that Mata, Young and Rooney don't do.

He gives us pace and power, and its not just pace that he has got, he has that acceleration to run at defenses which also worries defenses, and we seem to have a greater threat now with matrial has the advanced forward of our attack. This will help our midfield, and something VG was trying to use with depay playing off rooney, having rooney playing off martial is a great balance to have. Our options at the back still is a little worry

We don't need to take Sunderland any less seriously as others, they could are still PL team and anything can happen.

Mr Pigeon · Sep 26, 2015

I have BT Sport, and I also have the Sky Sports app on my phone. Can I watch our game today? Can I fudruckers.

Fecking 3pm kick offs. "Oooh, but we can't show it on TV otherwise no one will come and watch their local team." No ones coming to watch their local team just because there's a game on at 3pm. Do you know why? Because the local teams are fecking shite. Give me my 3pm games on TV you wankers.

Tibs · Sep 26, 2015

feck sake Rooney starting again.

Trizy · Sep 26, 2015

If we win today we go top, is it the first time since Fergie won the league?

pauldyson1uk · Sep 26, 2015

OMG I would not of predicated the City score today , I hope the team know what it is and that top of the PL is a stake today, we do that and it might shut the wingers up.

Jaxa · Sep 26, 2015

If we feck this up and don't go top today against bloody Sunderland I wont be able to cope

I think you can count of me to be consistently *just* that much worse. Thanks for the kind offer though!

Reynoldo · Sep 26, 2015

Thats our best backline at the moment I think, on paper anyway.

OGkush · Sep 26, 2015

would be perfect if we went on to win (with Depay and Martial scoring as icing on the cake), although I've a strange feeling Rooney's gonna be the one to get on the score sheet today.

Scarecrow · Sep 26, 2015

11/11 GET IN. I was really nervous about that one. Made a last minute change, as well.

Tibs · Sep 26, 2015

Who cares about how many players you got correct in your line up?

You're shite, and even if you get 11/11 all season, you'll never get a job at United cleaning windows, let alone being involved in footballing matters

(No disrespect to window cleaners, you rip off merchants)

stu_1992 · Sep 26, 2015

Decent line-up. Defense is probably as good as we could have fielded given the circumstances. I'd rather Have Bastian starting, but it's understandable with the Champion's league during the week.

Dazzmondo · Sep 26, 2015

We have to go top of the league today! Come on lads! Make an example of Sunderland!

You get your wish..I love this lineup.

Me too. I feel Memphis is going to score twice today.

Let's keep the streak going.

FujiVice · Sep 26, 2015

Early goal is key. Sunderland's track record of falling the pieces after the first goal goes in is legendary.

Von Mistelroum · Sep 26, 2015

Bah! 10/11, I thought Schweinsteiger had shown that he can handle a full schedule and would start

Not a bad team though all in all but more attacking would have been nice vs Sunderland....

Reynoldo · Sep 26, 2015

Martial 3'

LARulz · Sep 26, 2015

Have to win today

Traub · Sep 26, 2015

A bit shit that we have to start Valencia. I'm expecting Smalling's performance to drop a bit over the next while.

Try a Russian stream, always better with impartial commentary.

It's not on in Russia as well? Nice Russian impression by the way :lol:
