    It's all happening in Preston town centre, where's the crowd control?

    He's soiling on the magic of the cup. NQAT
     
    Welp. United lost/ drew the last 3 games where I emphatically predicted a comfortable win, so just gonna shut my trap for this one. Talk about bad luck charms. :(

    Well I managed to forget we were not at home and said Preston would win 2-1. Also managed to cock up the vote in the Herrera or Mata thread, so not having a good day.

    You’re not alone there, I also managed to do that :(
     
    Didn't vote but TBH I'd have gone for the wrong option in Senor Herrera v Mata too. :lol:
     
    If he loses this, I think #LVGout will start trending - especially if it's after starting Falcao, RVP and Rooney in midfield.

    I doubt it.
    There is no reasonable/alternative candidate available to replace LVG. He will be with us for the next 3 years unless we finish out of the top 4 (in the league).

    We cant keep sacking managers every year (even if they are in 3rd place in the league) - this approach will not work. Even the most cynical Man Utd supporter knows that.
    There are of course some young fans, who have little/no patience, who expect us to win everything, every year - so they may expect a sacking on a yearly basis. As they grow older and wiser, they will think differently.

    If LVG goes, realistically, he can only be replaced by Mourinho, Guardiola or Ancelotti. Anybody else will be a step down.
     
    I think it will be a very tight first half with us controlling the second half more and running out 2 - 1 winners in a hard fought game. I love the FA cup and this year has done it justice once again, really looking forward to seeing us play versus one of the old greats of England in Preston.
     
    Who'd have thought they'd see the day people were resorting to lucky underpants before an away cup tie at Preston
     
    De gea
    Rafael Smalling Rojo Shaw
    Blind
    Rooney Di Maria
    Herrera
    Falcao Fellaini
    Probably my guess as to what we'll see. At the diamond it is any of Herrera/Mata/Januzaj though obviously I want Herrera. Would prefer Mata in starting as well, no idea why he's been dropped recently. If there are a few players you want playing against lower league opposition, it is the really talented ones like Herrera and Mata. Both have looked a class above as they should against lower teams so far this season.

    I'd be very disappointed with that side... Swap Rooney and Fellaini and it will improve our performance

    Just hoping to see Herrera and hoping he has a good game

    Mata due a game too

    I think he will play Fellaini up top, showing fear of a lower side again. I can understand it in a way, just a bit sad.
     
    Score predictions should be changed to Ander Herrera playing chances. Much better game with a higher chance of success.
     
    Moyes is commentating or doing analysis or something. I read it the other day.

    Edit: nvm beaten to it.
     
    Would love an early tap-in for Falcao just so some of the pressure is released and maybe we'll see a transformation and a performance. I live in hope.
