I should do , but I have to hear what else they have to say.

Glutton for punishment.

 

[RedDevil-85]

Good to see Rooney and Shaw getting a game.
Hopefully they both have good performances and help the team win.
Predicted a 2-0 win (Martial,Zlatan)

 

[dichinero]

Never listen to Merson before a match, or after.

 

[mav_9me]

He is and he is leading the hate , Geoff Sterling is not helping.
Merson is his normal twatty self , only bit of praise has come from Thompson !!

Who would've thought that!!!

 

[mav_9me]

Never listen to Merson before a match, or after.

Or ever.

 

[PlayerOne]

Very surprised to see Rooney start. Jose giving him a confidence boost?

 

[LeftyBlaster]

Hmm that line up has me a little worried

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Who would've thought that!!!

You would never believe that him and Carragher are quite often the voices of reason where United are concerned.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Excited to see Shaw and Martial on the LW, hope they can bring the best out of each other. I want to see plenty of overlapping runs from Shaw.

 

[Marcelinho87]

I love Zlatan. His end of season montage is going to be something else.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Glutton for punishment.

I have to agree, I just found it funny in the end.
Who would of thought big nose Thompson praising United.

 

[peridigm]

Hmm that line up has me a little worried

It's Bournemouth.

 

[Revan]

Worried a bit about the midfield. Carrick doesn't have the legs of Herrera, and Rooney cannot cover that much ground anymore. This will be a real test for Pogba.

Excited to see Shaw finally starting. At the same time, surprised to see Rooney starting.

 

[Sylar]

Im happy with the team mostly cos it allows us to rest Herrera before our big number of games coming forward. We get to see Rojones again at CB, Shaw gets a rare outing, and Rooneys inclusion means we dont have rush back Mkhi.

Were at home, against Bournemouth, this team has no excuses if they dont win.

 

[G Best the Belfast Boy]

Well Jose throws in a bit of a curveball. Didn’t expect Shaw, Carrick and Rooney to all start. Still it is good to rotate and rest players such as Herrera.


Lacks pace, however, we have some fast players of our own in today's team. Besides this is a decent and experienced team that is well strong enough for this particular game – which on paper seems to be our easiest game left. Shaw and Valencia both need to push up high and overlap when opportunities arise. I hope Shaw has a good game (obviously) which should help him to push on and get more game time - though I do feel today’s selection is more in keeping with the next two games Rostov and Chelsea - rather than Shaw overcoming his lack of team selection.


Hopefully I am not going to jinx the game but I cannot see anything but a united win. In the past 6 games Bournemouth have been quite poor - lost 5, drawn 1 and conceding 17 goals in the process. The Bournemouth’s defense seems to be lacking in confidence and can look all over the place when the ball is near their box. They can be a decent passing team, however in recent games, when they lose the ball, they seem to lose shape and have difficulty reorganizing.


If Bournemouth sticks to their usual game plan (attacking style as opposed to parking the bus) I believe it will suit this united team and we should win comfortably.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Shaw

Big Phil back too!

 

[oates]

Penna texted to say that the pitch is being watered profusely!

 

[Catt]

Hopefully Shaw and Rooney plays well.
Please don't make this a struggle!

 

[marlowe78]

Odd lineup, isn't it?

 

[Dobba]

Midfield isn't half weakened when Herrera isn't on the teamsheet. Hopefully it's still enough today.

 

[Sandikan]

It's incredible how things change in football isn't it.

It wasn't that long ago that Rooney not starting sent shockwaves through the country and was a major story.
Last year it still seemed unthinkable, though people cursed it.

Now, he starts ONE game against a poor team at home, and it causes tonnes of moans!

 

[Sassy Colin]

It's Bournemouth.

Oh right, they're shit aren't they? So we don't need to try that hard do we?

3 players who haven't played for months and one who has been playing, badly, out of position.

Nothing to worry about at all.

 

[Catt]

And nice seeing Philip back.

 

[Catt]

Midfield isn't half weakened when Herrera isn't on the teamsheet. Hopefully it's still enough today.

Yes, slightly concerned by that.

 

[rooney2009]

9/11, Happy to see Rooney starting,also hope Shaw has a very good game,he was looking good last year before his injury.
Come on Utd..give us an easy convincing win with no dramas

 

[pseudo_canadian]

COME ON

 

[TrueRed79]

LETS GO!

 

[duffer]

UTCIAD!

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Come on United!

 

[Massive Spanner]

I'd be surprised if we don't end up needing to bring Herrera on.

 

[Ludens the Red]

wtf Rooney

 

[JinnerJamie]

Rooney should've taken the touch...

 

[pseudo_canadian]

fecking awful Rooney

 

[Drifter]

6/11 .Jose the tinkerman

 

[2 man midfield]

Rooney

 

[TsuWave]

sublime touch by zlatan

 

[sizzling sausages]

Good start, chance already. Could Rooney have tried to control it?

 

[Sassy Colin]

Oh feck off Rooney!

 

[Catt]

That finish

 

[Cooksen]

Rooney had more time then he thought he did

 

[Janson]

Why not take it down?
