Looks like LVG definitely thinks Jones > Smalling.

JakeC · Feb 8, 2015

TEAMS: #WHUFC: Adrian, Jenkinson, Tomkins, Kouyate, Cresswell, Song, Noble, Nolan (c), Downing, Sakho, Valencia #WHUMNU

Sammyjunn · Feb 8, 2015

Feel sorry for Blind (no support) and Mata, I guess Smalling has lost the battle.

charleysurf · Feb 8, 2015

very good team. Mata is certainly out of favour now.

PeteReDevil · Feb 8, 2015

What an attacking team that is.

Off to the pub!

bosnian_red · Feb 8, 2015

Good to see januzaj getting a run of games I guess. Meh lineup otherwise. Not a fan of rvp and falcao both up top. Hope they both massively step it up otherwise i doubt we'll win.

Kounan · Feb 8, 2015

Smalling and Herrera again on the bench. LVG will cost us a lot of good players and we will have to buy more expensive ones who are not better.

ryan cook · Feb 8, 2015

I thought Paddy deserved a start for that performance against Cambridge.

Raw · Feb 8, 2015

West Ham: Adrian, Jenkinson, Tomkins, Kouyate, Cresswell, Song, Noble, Nolan, Downing, Sakho, Valencia

Subs: Jaaskelainen, O'Brien, Oxford, Amalfitano, Jarvis, Cole, Lee

Kostur · Feb 8, 2015

So, in a game that seems to be perfect for Fellaini we actually don't play him and stick to three strikers again.

Mr.Kaya · Feb 8, 2015

Great to see Januzaj from start! A bit suprised that Jones starts instead of Smalling, but ok. So it is some kind of 4-3-3 formation?

That must be the first time in a long while that the team has been unchanged in the league.

5 weeks.

Escobar · Feb 8, 2015

My arse twitches when I see that line up

Silverman · Feb 8, 2015

Delighted to see Januzaj in the team. Is it Januzaj or Di Maria in AMF?

Classical Mechanic · Feb 8, 2015

Is Smalling injured or is this the final proof that Jones is Van Gaal's Rojo + 1?

Ralph1386 · Feb 8, 2015

Is this 4-2-1-2, 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 diamond?

Devil may care · Feb 8, 2015

Surprising that he's went back to the team that played Leicester, I felt Mata and Smalling would keep their places from Tuesday.

United XI: De Gea, Valencia, Jones, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Rooney, Januzaj, Di Maria, Falcao, van Persie. #mufclive

10/11 for me. Only one I missed out is Januzaj over Fellaini

pigface · Feb 8, 2015

No complaints about that line up

Di Maria's angel · Feb 8, 2015

Raw said:
Decent team, would have liked Smalling to start over Jones though.

Without Jones, we don't have anyone to take corners!

JPRouve · Feb 8, 2015

It seems that we have the "real" Van gaal, now. He won't change the team much.

theyneverlearn · Feb 8, 2015

de Gea
Valencia Jones Rojo Shaw
Blind
Januzaj - - - Di Maria
Rooney
RVP Falcao

Formation?

pseudo_canadian · Feb 8, 2015

Good team. Very attacking. And it looks like we're playing a back four.

We are playing with one actual midfielder!

Have we ever played a 4-2-1-2 ?

JakeC · Feb 8, 2015

------------RVP---------Falcao
Di Maria------------------------Januzaj
-----------Rooney-------Blind
Shaw-----Rojo----------Jones-Rafael
-------------------DDG

Lewis.no.9 · Feb 8, 2015

really feeling the team except Smalling on the bench. He should be ahead of Jones imo. More crazy Jones corners and errors today it seems. And again Valencia at RB means a hell of a lot of "Shin"Ball and pointless headless chicken runs only to pass it backwards. Sigh, how is he first choice RB for Manchester United.

Wow that's an attacking team. No Herrera as per but other than that a good team. Rafaels days must be numbered if he can't get ahead of Valencia.

Valencia's Mr reliable. Rafael, unfortunately, is anything but. I expect him to be replaced next season.

No Fellaini and Jones over Smalling. Bit concerned.

van Gaal prefers Jones over Smalling in 100% cases...

Which is concerning.

Ringo 07 · Feb 8, 2015

I was certain Fellaini was gonna start in such a tough physical away game. Fellaini will definitely get minutes at some point. Januzaj badly needs to replay the faith shown in him with a big performance...very attack minded team..I like it but I hope we don't get exposed by West Hams physical threat

JakeC · Feb 8, 2015

Di Maria is a midfielder.

LR7 · Feb 8, 2015

I'm so sick of us using RvP and Falcao together.

Ole's_toe_poke · Feb 8, 2015

BTW does Van Gaal really not rate Rafael at all? Not even on the bench again.

He said that only Carrick was injured, so it can't be injury.

ZDwyr · Feb 8, 2015

Don't mind it. Obviously would have preferred Herrera/Fellaini to Rooney in CM and Smalling over Jones.

MTR · Feb 8, 2015

Sam said:

So at least he has one thing right. Smalling is now first one to get rid, maybe second if count Falcao.

Maagge · Feb 8, 2015

End to end stuff I think.

Revan · Feb 8, 2015

So, I guess it will be 442 with Blind and Rooney in midfield.

lysglimt · Feb 8, 2015

A Hammers-team without Reid, Carroll and Collins certainly takes away a lot of their aerial threat

El-Manos · Feb 8, 2015

That line-up is certainly interesting... At home I would be in favour but the fact only 1 actual midfielder is playing at Upton Park for us, seems challenging to say the least.
