    Our form is fantastic while Newcastle are struggling. A 0-3 win, regardless of whether Lukaku starts over Rashford.

    It would be great to see Sanchez and Pereira get at least 30 minutes.

    Waiting on us to run out of steam. We surely can't continue like this? Think it'll be 1-1.

    I don't see us running out of steam. Football is all about momentum and we have it now with a new manager and with the players finding that extra gear. Our fixtures have been easy on paper but the good thing is we have also made them look easy on the pitch. I think we will take this and it will perfectly set us up for the next league game against Spurs.

    Always find it interesting that - whilst we as fans all absolutely love this (remember being in the stand and giving this a huge cheer) - Fergie was absolutely raging about it.

    Pretty sure he gave him a bollocking about it after the game.

    Fergie overreacting? Bet that shocked the dressing room.

    Perfect time to tell Rashford he doesn't want to risk him and for him to give Lukaku a start. Lukaku needs to start at some point and since Rashford has a knock he can do it without "dropping" him.

    I'd be very surprised if Rashford starts and Lukaku does not.

    The ‘perfect’ time to start Lukaku is on Saturday.
     
    Weird that there is absolutely nothing on the travelling squad.

    Watched the match on TV in a language I didn't understand, with my whole family around as they came over for my 10th birthday, I was one angry kid while others couldn't give a shit about the match :lol:

    Good tackle though, gave some hope for the last matches. Had Lee scored there it would have been over right there and then.
     
    Might change my mind when I see the team, but I tend to feel if we score first and do it early, it'll be another fairly simple game for us. Newcastle at the back are no jokes though, especially thinking about that painful game at their place last season, it won't be easy. Hopefully they're more tired than us.
     
    I think it will be our full strength team-

    de Gea
    Young - Jones - Lindelof - Shaw
    Herrera - Matic - Pogba
    Lingard - Rashford - Martial
    ​
    Then maybe this team vs Reading-

    Romero
    Dalot - Smalling - Lindelof - Darmian
    Fred - Fellaini - Pereira
    Mata - Lukaku - Sanchez​
     
    Lots of rumours saying Alexis starts on the right tonight with Rashford central and Tony on the left :drool:

    Don't make stuff up unless you can back it up, what is your source for this?

    We had the same thing on Sunday, with people saying that Martial wasn't playing, but again no source. Guess what, he started.

    Quote your source or I will report your post for bullshitting the Forum.

    I think that's something we've all wanted to see for a long time but I have no idea what to expect from Alexis after his injury.

    Don’t change your prediction on what I’ve read on twitter mate. It’s the usual suspects - Stephen Howson, some guy from United Stand etc. All saying Alexis starts.

    Yeah, I don't know man. We have looked great since Ole came in but we also know that over the last six years this club has not preformed nearly good enough.

    Give it a rest, I couldn’t care less about your line up predictions game.

    Loads of people on twitter ARE saying Alexis starts. I haven’t got time to post them all because I am at work.

    Here is one tweet:
