Sucks that our two most talented youth players don't start. I know Januzaj will accumulate minutes throughout the season, but was hoping Wilson would start as without Europe, this will be one of the few times RVP and Rooney aren't in contention for a starting spot.

They were actually on about moving to Dublin at one stage if my memory serves me correctly?
3-1 to United tonight. Need to see some goals and a better performance in midfield/up front....
Woohoo
Yea I wasn't sure how the 3 would line up and most likely you're right.
This just about sums it up...
http://whatculture.com/sport/8-hated-football-teams-time.php/3A favourite chant aimed at noveau-rich clubs that have recently bought their way to success is the old chestnut, “You’ve got no history”. In the case of Milton Keynes Dons between the years of 2004-7, this was the literal truth. For those three years at the start of the millennium, it also made them the most hated team in England.
By the turn of the century, Wimbledon FC were in deep trouble. They were running on empty, financially speaking, and years of playing in front of tiny crowds whilst sharing a ground with Crystal Palace meant that something had to give, or the club would surely die. What happened next made many fans of the club wish that they had, and preserved some dignity. The club elected to move operations lock, stock and barrel to Milton Keynes, the only largely populated part of the country who didn’t have a league team to represent them. The new club, MK Dons, may have moved a sizable distance away from their true fanbase but they decided to retain the official history of Wimbledon FC, meaning that the club remained the same one in law, if definitely not in spirit.
If the move was designed to put thousands on the gate receipts, it failed miserably. Outraged Wimbledon fans formed their own breakaway club, AFC Wimbledon, and the new Frankenstein’s Monster-esque club was largely derided and ignored by everybody else. MK Dons were referred to in the press as ‘Franchise FC’, and the Football Supporter’s Federation boycotted any new supporter’s groups. The lack of class and sheer opportunism of the move had alienated pretty much every supporter in the country. Fans can put up with almost anything except being taken for a ride, and by 2007 MK Dons had given up all pretence of being the continuing embodiment of Wimbledon, and quietly dropped all claims to the previous history of the club they had left behind to die.
A situation with absolutely no winners.seriously januzaj should be getting 90 mins unless LVG will start him vs BurnleySo many debutants though, great to see. Hopefully Pereira and Januzaj get subbed on at some point too.Will someone send me a stream? In india they are not showing the game
There you go bro
http://www.ronaldo7.net/video/manchester-live/manchester-live-stream.htmlNot even a place of the bench for Ben Pearson?
Normal formation. Vermijl is playing cb.
I'd expect Janko to be CB, Vermijl will be RB.I wanted to put Janko in my predicted team, but he wasn't available for selection.Anderson in midfield... I assume. Would be lovely if he was actually at Lwb with James in the middle but I'm sure that is not the case.Janko's debut coming much earlier than expected.
Weird that Wilson doesn't start.Hernandez last chance to win over the fans, I think.
It is strange. He's by far the best young player we've got.Something like this?
DDG
Vermijl Evans Keane Hames
Anderson Kagawa Powell
Janko Hernandez WelbeckReally interesting team. I'm looking forward to seeing Powell a lot
It's a negative side of having the likes of Kagawa and Chicharito as your squad players.I love both of them but I hope they will move on soon for the sake of our younger, more potential player to develop.
Another possibility is LVG considering Januzaj to start vs. Burnley.Announced on bbc
De gea
Vermijl
James
Keane
Janko
Evans
Anderson
Powell
Kagawa
Hernandez
WelbeckThe Powell-Anderson axis could be a cause for concern but I'm hoping we will be on the front foot most of the time.Anderson will probably be injured before HT. Interested to see how Powell does... can't be worse than Cleverley/Fletcher, surely...Oh yeah there's a game on today.Ok, presuming this IS the real lineup, I can still say we have a tidy front 3, and look forward to seeing Anderson play.
...People still look forward to seeing Anderson play?When I see that team I just think "dead men walking", Ando, Hernandez, Kagawa, and prob Welbeck now too.
Not a chance of that. Vermijl has played cb for the u21s this season while Janko has always played either wing back or winger. Don't think I've ever seen him at cb for us tbh. Wouldn't suit cb anyway. His physique is his standout asset.
Yeah, a firmly second string team apart from Evans and DDG. Hope we don't blow our best chance of a trophy!Nice to see Powell get a chance, and the front three is good. Gives each of them a chance to impress.
and anderson is there too, I guess. What number is he now?Nick Powell actually exists.
It wasnt displaying correctly, now it does.
Nowhere near ready for the first teamNot even a place of the bench for Ben Pearson?
Amos really isn't rated it seems. And Lindergaard could be off.
So Johnstone to be backup keeper once fit ?
Not really fair, he's more ready than Janko. Not ready to play consistently, but could definitely have gotten a squad place today, same with Rothwell.
So did Patrick McNair.
Hopefully Powell will play himself into the squad vs. Burnley.Anderson - Powell midfield could lack workrate a bit.I hope Janko presses his claims for a 1st team position.Excited to see Janko, hope he does well.- Status
