United squad.

Having everyone travel makes me think it is going to be a fairly strong side.

 

[Kapardin]

Bournemouth are fairly open at the back. Theoretically we should be putting 3 past them but of course this team rarely works theoretically.

 

[Paxi]

I went for a 3-1 loss to United.

 

[ti vu]

Isn't there a chance we would stay South until after FA semi final?

 

[Damien]

Is there a chance we would stay South until after FA semi final?

Makes sense. Predicting this is going to be a bitch, then.

 

[Rash Decision]

It'll be Lukaku and we all know it... "My Romelu shall always start"

Yeah it was more fantasy than anything else.

Then again, it's arguably a win-win for him to play his fringe players. If they play well, great; and if they play badly, he has more justification not to play them against Spurs. They've had their chance. Win-win!

 

[el3mel]

My prediction :

DDG
Valencia - Bailly - Smalling - Shaw
Scott - Matic
Lingard - Sanchez - Rashford
Lukaku​

 

[D. Grayson]

I don't expect us to lose, but I wont hold my breath for a barn burner either. A rigid 2-0 is on the cards.

 

[Swift Football]

maybe:

DDG
Lindelof - Bailly - Smalling - Shaw
McTominay - Matic
Mata - Lingard - Martial
Lukaku​

 

[Peanut Butter]

If we don’t win 3-0 and don’t play like a mixture of Liverpool and City in attack and Italy at their best in defence, I am going to start supporting Bale Madrid.

 

[VeevaVee]

If this is shite and I waste this nice evening planning around watching it I'm gonna fecking knock Jose out

 

[Drifter]

1-1. Bournemouth are in a bit of form.

 

[Revaulx]

If this is shite and I waste this nice evening planning around watching it I'm gonna fecking knock Jose out

We’re going out for a meal. No doubt this thread will be more entertaining than the actual football.

 

[Adisa]

I hope we win and are entertained.
A few goals will do nicely.

 

[Jacko21]

If the players are as enthusiastic about the game as I am, then we’re headed for a defeat.

Just try and be convincing please United.

 

[James Peril]

I think Lukaku will score today. He doesn’t score often, but this is just the game for him. 1-2 (Lukaku, Pogba)

 

[TsuWave]

2-1 bournemouth win

 

[Catt]

If this is shite and I waste this nice evening planning around watching it I'm gonna fecking knock Jose out

You don't have to watch you know.

 

[NotATroll]

They played 5-4-1 against Liverpool but 4-4-1-1 (according to whoscored.com) in the 5 game preceding that. I think we'll go with a back four.

Lukaku can definitely get chances in the air against this lot. Nathan Ake isn't even 6 ft.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

An improvement over whatever the feck we watched on Sunday would be nice.

Keeping my hopes nice and low though, just to be safe.

 

[Oldyella]

If the players are as enthusiastic about the game as I am, then we’re headed for a defeat.

Haha. That comment didnt end up where I thought it would!

Hoping Jose wants to prove a point and lets the team go at them and we get an exciting game. Would be nice if Jose cracked a smile too, a bit of positivity around the place coming from him would be reassuring.

 

[whatwha]

If this is shite and I waste this nice evening planning around watching it I'm gonna fecking knock Jose out

It's an away game, they are nearly always shitter than our home games. If you've got a more entertaining way to spend the evening, why not do that instead. The league season is basically over anyway. Football is supposed to be entertaining. If it isn't, no-one is forcing us to spend 2 hours on shite.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

There's a leaked midfield, but I got a telling off last time, so not telling you.

 

[McGrathsipan]

If this is shite and I waste this nice evening planning around watching it I'm gonna fecking knock Jose out

When has it not been shite.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

When has it not been shite.

Maybe there's shite and then there's Shite.

 

[Rash Decision]

Damn!! Would have loved to play their first team. They always lose at OT

Quoting this if they beat us with their kids

 

[VeevaVee]

Much safer bet in terms of entertainment value.

Oh God. I'm gonna do it though, just in case it's enjoyable, on the off chance.

When has it not been shite.

Occasionally! What if McGrathsipan, what if...

You don't have to watch you know.

Yeah well I already said I am and if it's shit I'm swan ton bombing Jose off the Lowry entrance, alright?

 

[.Rossi]

Darmian - Blind - Bailly - Shaw

 

[RedDevil@84]

Quoting this if they beat us with their kids

Can happen. That is why I wanted the first team to come. Kids are unpredictable.
We beat their full team with a bunch of U21 kids few years back

 

[RedDevil@84]

I am thinking Jose will go for another formation or weird combination of players which he has not tried and fans will wonder why we are so slow or crap

 

[Daysleeper]

You guys think there's a strong chance Bailly plays today or gets rested for the FA Cup?

 

[RedDevil@84]

Jose said there won't be any rotation.
Whoever plays well today gets into the next match.

However some players from the West Brom match have already lost a chance to play in the semis.

 

[Rash Decision]

Now you're just giving yourself a way out.

Had that game in mind though! What a lovely match that was.

 

[Catt]

@VeevaVee. Just make sure to document it

 

[scorgasm]

Matic, Lukaku, Sanchez, Valencia, Young, Mata all out of starting XI.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

18:45KEY EVENT
Manchester United starting XI
De Gea

Darmian, Smalling, Jones, Shaw

Fellaini, Herrera, Pogba

Lingard, Rashford, Martial

 

[charlenefan]

OMG what an awful side

 

[Pexbo]

4/11

 

[KM]

Looking forward to this front three.

 

[el3mel]

Hmmm.

Don't know what I should get from this lineup. I just have a really, really bad feeling about this game. Looks like a disaster awaiting to happen.
