Yeah, it could be his guess. If he gets it right, it might mean someone is leaking the line-ups early.
To be fair there's a 50/50 chance that'll be right, only maybe Rafael and Hernandez have any chance of being wrong, the rest are pretty much nailed on.
 
Yup, Raf starting would be odd after all the noise LVG made about player fitness, but who else would you play?
 
If he doesn't play well in this one game we should just burn him at the stake.

That's not what he's saying but this is a prime chance to show what he can do.

It's no secret that he's not gotten enough time but given who he's behind we know why that is the case.

He's gotten the odd chance here and there but has hardly convinced us he should be further up the pecking order.
 
I think almost every poster has already written this, but

I cannot believe that we're right on the first game now and have only signed 2 players!!
 
Can people see the 3-5-2 working all season? Has it not been the case when City and Liverpool used that formation they were found out?

Don't think City or Liverpool invested as much time as we have into it. Its not a formation you can switch to in the middle of the season and expect the players to be ready to implement it.

No. We played well with it for a while and then after a defeat Rodgers changed it around.

Edit: the no was in response to the 2nd question.

Andy Mitten made a good point, he said he expects us to start really well then Chelsea will beat us and expose the weakness, other teams pick up on it and force us to change to four at the back, either that or we do so well that other teams start taking note and play 3 at the back, personally don't see that happening.

Well the difference is we've actually been preparing to use it and have Van Gaal who knows how to get the most out of it. You can't just start using a new formation out of nowhere and expect results.

I do think we'll switch to the 4-3-3 eventually, but that's just because I think eventually Januzaj will force himself into the team and we'll sign a winger for the other wing.

Several other teams played three at the back already. Villa did, Hull did, Newcastle did, we did and QPR are attempting to apparently.
 
Celtic got knocked out because they were not good enough.
Legia cheated and fielded an ineligible player.
Why don't Uefa just give the spot to the highest coefficient team not currently in the CL

:lol::wenger:


:drool: :lol: Oh the reactions that would ensue!
 
Did Liverpool ever do this too?



Not transfer related, but we're talking about the bloody formation again. :)

Anyway, trying to keep the thread on topic, with the 3-5-2 we do still need to sign at least 2 players I believe. I don't think we can afford to put too much emphasis on Quality Vs Quantity either. I think we need to add some variety in numbers.

Bayern Munich are set to match Juventus' asking price for Arturo Vidal #MUFC

:lol: bullshit!

If Ed Woodward monitors social media then he'd know that Arturo Vidal is the single most wanted player in all of Mancunia. If Bayern walked in and took away Vidal in a week, there'd be an outpouring of anger the likes of which his idiot brain would have never imagined. I'll be there right with the mob.

I know the story is probably bullshit, but it's a good opportunity to rant and vent.

I agree. We need a CM (Vidal) and a CB (Rojo) at least. That would do for the summer but I would expect further departures and arrivals the following summer.
 
"Use this thread for posting transfer related tweets in. Use your head as to what to post. Don't post anything from a clear bullshitter like Agent_"Insert name here", as giving any sort of publicity to them is exactly what they want."

I used to follow this account and it was pretty legit. They definitely didn't just make shit up out of nowhere, it might just be a rumour from a paper or something though. I had to unfollow though as the account is run by Evertonians and I couldn't stand all the tweets about Moyes last year.

FFS, they re-tweet indykilliaas or whatever the feck you call him, its bullshit.
Edit: In fact it is most likely the same person, their page is full of marketing links.

Yeah, but they don't play it every game, well besides Hull. I don't really think a team can win the league 3 at the back, we shall see though.
 
What is the point in loaning him out again? Honestly, how many of their players are loaned out now?
If they can't find a buyer and have no plans to use him then it's better that another club pays his wages and possibly a loan fee, while giving him a better chance to develop as a player.

No, they are just taking the piss out of him. They used to do it all the time when I followed them. I'm not saying that Vidal news is true, but they never made stuff up before.
 
We absolutely without fail need a top class CM and a Very good centre back this summer. bare minimum.
