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.

This post has been written all of 4 times and still we haven't see what we all want.
I am desperate for Falcao to succeed here but it's not going to happen. He's too slow for the EPL, he'll probably go back to Spain and bang in 40+ next season though.

NinjaFletch · Feb 16, 2015

I predict Fellaini and Rooney to both play, Fellaini to be further forward than Rooney and the Caf to melt down.

Usually an hour before the game. So 6:45.

ChaddyP · Feb 16, 2015

Fellaini will score

Haha is there a tweet? Makes my mystic prediction look a bit silly then

DocRockter · Feb 16, 2015

Preston seems to be like a little-Liverpool.. Well, feck them 0-6 coming up in an hour..

The tweet says Falcao is playing as well. So you might have Fellaini up front, but it depends if Blind is playing, is Rooney going to play there or is Fellaini? So many questions. :lol:

Don't buy this at all, he might be too slow for this current incarnation of our side but speed isn't everything.

Ixion · Feb 16, 2015

I had Fellaini and Falcao to start up front in my line-up prediction last week, wouldn't surprise me at all. Nor would Fellaini getting sent off. Please no Evans.

Raw · Feb 16, 2015

De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Herrera, Rooney, Fellaini, Di Maria, Falcao

nemanja15 · Feb 16, 2015

de Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Herrera, Fellaini, Di Maria, Rooney, Falcao.

Dobba · Feb 16, 2015

Who is Herrera?

Solius · Feb 16, 2015

HERRERA

Herrera getting his chance, so go out and do your best.

saivet · Feb 16, 2015

Looks a much better team than previous games. Not really sure how we'll set up though.

Got a feeling it will be Fellani up front next to Falcao

Ghengis · Feb 16, 2015

I hope its a 4-2-3-1 with Fellaini Blind in the middle Herrera Rooney Di Maria and Falcao as a lone striker

Ixion · Feb 16, 2015

The line-up is alright. Don't really understand Mata not starting at the moment though.

The Law of Denis · Feb 16, 2015

Rooney midfield
Fellaini #10
Di Maria upfront

fecking no Wilson still?

Falcao better deliver already.

Dracula · Feb 16, 2015

I know it's not, but please tell me that's rooney up front and do maria in midfield?

Sigh.

I know it's not.

EDIT: wtf am i talking about is clearly fellaini up front

DWelbz19 · Feb 16, 2015

Ander, yay! Rooney LCM with Fellain uptop? Probably.

"Balansh"

Devil may care · Feb 16, 2015

I like the selection, I just hope it's Rooney up top and Di Maria at left midfield and not the other way around.

SirAF · Feb 16, 2015

That's a very exciting line up! Hope to see some good stuff tonight.

bosnian_red · Feb 16, 2015

What??
Good to see Blind in the team as well. Probably it's like this:

De Gea
Valencia Smalling Rojo Shaw
Blind
Rooney Herrera Di maria
Falcao Fellaini

As long as it's not Di Maria up front. Thought it would've been a good game for Wilson to get a start though, up front with more pace instead of Falcao. Thought Mata would get a start as well. Pretty good overall though, due to the much deserved inclusion of Herrera

Zoo · Feb 16, 2015

Nice team. Interested to see how it lines up.

bucky · Feb 16, 2015

Really thought Rafael would get a chance.

4-2-3-1

De Gea
I know a lot of people are putting Valdes in their lineup but i cant see that happening.

Rafael
He will probably not play but i feel if there is any game he should play is this one. He has been played as a wing back this season and its clearly not his best position so i would like for LVG to give him a chance today. If not him then it will be McNair.

Smalling
For me he should start every game as long as he's not injured. Him and Rojo are our best defenders and they should start

Rojo
same as Smalling should play CB every time possible. Has been really good in his last couple of games IMO.

Shaw
If he is availble he should start if not then i would go for Blackett or Young. As long as its not Rojo playing there with Evans in the middle as i think Evans is a huge liability now a days.

Blind
He should be fine for this game IMO. Automatic starter.

Herrera
I know this wont happen but we all can see that he should be playing. He gives us something else. He is more direct and can make something out of nothing. But we will probably see Rooney there with Fellaini on top.

Januzaj
I know he hasnt set the world alight this season but we should give him more games you could see against Burnley in the second half that he is getting his swagger back.

Rooney
He should play behind the striker IMO. Maybe not the best option but i feel Mata is to lightweight and hasnt had one good game away all season if i remember correctly.

Di Maria
Together with Januzaj he can give us something else. He can run at players and hit nice crosses.

Falcao
Hope to see him up top alone for this one since RVP seems to be out. I think he will be much better as a lone striker. I think Rooney and Falcao could potentially be a very good partnership.

This is what i would love to see

The team has been posted further up, so no you aren't seeing it. Close, but not quite.

Havak · Feb 16, 2015

I do hope it is this:

de Gea
Valencia Smalling Rojo Shaw
Blind
Herrera Di Maria
Fellaini
Rooney Falcao

But it's almost guaranteed we'll see Rooney in midfield and Di Maria up front.

pseudo_canadian · Feb 16, 2015

Glad to see Herrera and Blind starting.

And Fellaini

Haha yeah and as you claimed in your other post that all of a sudden an attacking player who hasn't played for weeks for no reason will start, here we go: Herrera starts!

ChaddyP · Feb 16, 2015

Watch us get what we want and still play poorly... It's written in the stars :lol:

talking robot · Feb 16, 2015

I like the look of this team. Wouldn't mind seeing us line up in the league like this.

Mystry · Feb 16, 2015

Wow. Even if it's Fellaini up front it still has two central midfielders which is a big plus from what we've been seeing. I'm excited, very excited.
