[Handré1990]

Great lineup! I know I should care about rotation and stuff, but I'm very excited to see this team, looks like we're really going to attack them

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Lovely looking front 4.

 

[Niall]

Jose definitely wants to win the EFL with a lineup like that. The cups are where it's at this season for us.

 

[JinnerJamie]

Is José available for this one?

 

[DWelbz19]

Is José available for this one?

Nah, this is where he'll serve his one-game ban for the bottle kick.

 

[Devil may care]

Rooney playing is always a bit of a enthusiam killer for me but I figured he would be starting, don't understand using Carrick for this game, we have no excuses not to win with that line-up.

 

[carlosp]

Is José available for this one?

No, in the stands. If that.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

WEST HAM XI
Here's the visitors' side...

FFS! I thought as they need to concentrate on the league they'd put out a second string side for this.

 

[rooney2009]

Come on you reds..would welcome a convincing win tonight

 

[m1y2]

Rooney starting again, gutted, hope Marty and micki have great games despite that and we win

 

[Pexbo]

Disappointed to see Carrick playing. Really should be saving him for one league match a week.

 

[Drifter]

8/11 .I'll take that

 

[AltiUn]

Rooney starting again, gutted, hope Marty and micki have great games despite that and we win

They're the two wingers we were most excited about at the start of the season so hopefully!

 

[PlayerOne]

Disappointed to see Carrick playing. Really should be saving him for one league match a week.

I think Mourinho really wants to win something this season, might end up saving his job.

 

[Devil81]

A trophy a season is what we should be aspiring to achieve, we're the current FA Cup holders and we are still competitive in three competitions.

We've got to be realistic, we're not going to win the league and we're certainly going to find it hard to get top four. This is a rebuild, if we can achieve success whilst rebuilding we should be happy.

 

[LuisNaniencia]

Jose definitely wants to win the EFL with a lineup like that. The cups are where it's at this season for us.

We're all calling for Carrick to start the league games, starting to think Mourinho is saving him for the cups as priority.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Disappointed to see Carrick playing. Really should be saving him for one league match a week.

Mou probably reckons the midfield he picked last weekend wasn't a problem. I'd agree with that.

 

[ha_rooney]

Should be Mata instead of Rooney.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Loving that team, for once he's got his selection bang on let's just hope they can do the business

 

[BlakeUtd]

this is probably not the place for this but I hope Lingard and rash don't start as wingers for a while

 

[top1whoisman]

I must admit, that I am slowly getting a bit frustrated with the lack of rotation. TFM for one is not getting matches this season in any team.

 

[PlayerOne]

Yup, TFM has sorta disappeared. Was hoping he would get a spot on the bench at least

 

[J-Stander]

I must admit, that I am slowly getting a bit frustrated with the lack of rotation. TFM for one is not getting matches this season in any team.

He probably would've done if we were in a better position.

 

[FreakyJim]

Resting key players would've made sense if we were actually in some kind of race in the PL, title or top 4. Since we're not - Mourinho could field whatever lineup he comes up with, doesn't matter.

 

[whatwha]

That team will win comfortably. Sticking another tenner on the United handicap

Tempted to follow you on that. Good luck.

 

[top1whoisman]

He probably would've done if we were in a better position.

Perhaps so, but still I think these kind of games are the ones where you can play, say a couple of young players and a couple of fringe players. And the number of games TFM has under his belt this season is quite brutal for his development. Why not give him some playing time in the U23s if he can’t get even bench spots in the 1st team.

 

[dichinero]

We need to rotate, what is Jose doing? Is he sacrificing the league for some miserly trophies?

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

I think these players should be able to play a couple of games a week (especially at home) what we really need is a string of wins so I'm all for a strong line-up.

 

[Janson]

Great lineup
Mata in for Rooney, pogba in midfield and bailly at the back and thats by far our best lineup. Should be great to watch even with how it is currently.
Only worry is hopefully Carrick is fine for the weekend.

Really hope Martial takes his chance. If he starts firing, along with Miki, then we'll start tearing teams apart.

That's our best lineup on paper but in reality not so much. Hopefully it starts klicking for Martial and Mikhi like you say, then it could be amazing.

 

[Van Piorsing]

We need to rotate, what is Jose doing? Is he sacrificing the league for some miserly trophies?

He's trying to start winning football matches.

 

[Ludens the Red]

Happy with the strong line up. This is our level at the moment, make no mistake about it. These are the trophies we should go for at the moment.

 

[Fracture90]

I wonder who will start on LB for the weekend...

 

[JonDahl]

Should walk this today. 4-0.

 

[spwd]

Rooney ffs!

 

[Raw]

Thank feck no dickheads ruined that silence.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Respect from both teams and fans , not a sound.

 

[Sigma]

Thank feck no dickheads ruined that silence.

What was the silence for (just tuned in)? Brazil plane crash?

 

[pacifictheme]

That minutes silence. Close to home for united.

I am surprised the flub haven't offered players on loan next season, considering how similar it is to what united went through.

 

[Raw]

What was the silence for (just tuned in)? Brazil plane crash?

Yep.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

what a goal
