Can't see the point in resting De Gea. We've got feck all games anyway this and he's a keeper.
Yeah but what if he hurts his fingerCan't see the point in resting De Gea. We've got feck all games anyway this and he's a keeper.
Lindegaard has no match practice though. I'd rather play a world class keeper than play a decent one with no game time in ages.Yeah but what if he hurts his finger
Match rhythm, I believe it is called.Lindegaard has no match practice though. I'd rather play a world class keeper than play a decent one with no game time in ages.
Neither. Im expecting it to be pretty boring tbhNot sure whether to be excited about or terrified of this game.
No I think not. Why waste valuable playing minutes on a lost cause when you could give that to a younger player with potential.Any chance of Anderson getting a game? For the laugh like.
What like we did against the MK Dons and we saw how that turned out.may as well give Anderson a run out
Anderson Not Allowed?Any chance of Anderson getting a game? For the laugh like.
Why in gods name are we giving Anderson a game, there better be some experience in the midfield and up front with Wilson, otherwise we are taking the piss.The Telegraph have said this morning that Wilson, Pereira, Lingard, Januzaj, Powell, Anderson and Pearson are to start this game.
I'm not even sure how we'd fit that lot in the same XI, so hopefully the Telegraph have got their wires crossed somehow.Why in gods name are we giving Anderson a game, there better be some experience in the midfield and up front with Wilson, otherwise we are taking the piss.
I can understand some of them playing, but not Anderson, to be honest not Powell, who couldn't get a game at Leicester, but we will risk him in the only trophy we can win. There is an U-21 game on Friday to give them a game. I am fine with Pereira getting a game and even Pearson as long as it is Herrera with him and not just Fletcher. I watched them the other week and they played well together. I wouldn't want Wilson on his own, so hopefully, one of Falcao, RVP or Rooney will partner him.I'm not even sure how we'd fit that lot in the same XI, so hopefully the Telegraph have got their wires crossed somehow.
I don't think RvP will be playing, but I expect Falcao will partner Wilson upfront.I can understand some of them playing, but not Anderson, to be honest not Powell, who couldn't get a game at Leicester, but we will risk him in the only trophy we can win.

How the feck are we even going to fit that 7 into a starting line-up?Unless Pearson plays CB or Lingard/Januzaj as FBs, which would be painful to see.The Telegraph have said this morning that Wilson, Pereira, Lingard, Januzaj, Powell, Anderson and Pearson are to start this game.
Lingard and Januzaj as wingbacks in a 3-5-2, with a midfield 3 of Pearson, Anderson, Pereira, and a Powell Wilson front 2. No way that's the team though, they must have made a mistake.How the feck are we even going to fit that 7 into a starting line-up?Unless Pearson plays CB or Lingard/Januzaj as FBs, which would be painful to see.
Plus I don't want to see a CM partnership of Anderson-Powell ever again.
Hopefully they are just presuming he will use it to blood loads of kids. As you say it doesn't make sense and LvG surely isn't that stupid.How the feck are we even going to fit that 7 into a starting line-up?Unless Pearson plays CB or Lingard/Januzaj as FBs, which would be painful to see.

No offence to Fletcher but I don't really want to see him starting games anymore and i'm not sure how much impact he really has as a sub. Would much rather see us give one of the young midfielders like Pearson or Rothwell a chance.I want us to progress here and LvG will probably play something very close to full strength considering what happened at MK Dons (and this is the only other competition we're in). However, I would like to see McNair, Blackett, and Wilson play. I expect we'll see the 352 again, with perhaps van Persie and Mata the most likely to be left out:
de Gea
McNair Evans Blackett
Rafael Fletcher Herrera Shaw
Rooney
Falcao Wilson
That's what I'd like to see, but we'll probably get one of Smalling or Jones replacing McNair or Blackett, and Carrick replacing Fletcher. Januzaj might also be in the mix to get some minutes towards fitness, but might be relegated to a substitute appearance again.
We have players who need to get some playing time due to coming back from injury. This is the perfect game. Rafael, Shaw and Herrera, plus in a way Falcao need game time. If not tomorrow when will they get it? They are playing Southampton next weekend, we need these players up and running. If they don't play and bloody Anderson does I will be furious.Absolutely pointless playing Anderson. He's a lost cause with no future here and I've always been of the opinion, that no matter the level of the opposition you should always play players who at least have a short-term future here (e.g, Valencia, Young and Fellaini) or players that have promise (Wilson, Januzaj, etc). Anderson obviously meets neither of those descriptions. A waste of a starting berth.
I couldn't find the link. Could you share it?The Telegraph have said this morning that Wilson, Pereira, Lingard, Januzaj, Powell, Anderson and Pearson are to start this game.
So you would play Fletcher instead? In that case, you must be stupid..Everyone who puts Carrick in his side is as stupid as Brentan.
No, I would recall Scholes from retirement.So you would play Fletcher instead? In that case, you must be stupid..
No, I would recall Scholes from retirement.
Isn't his contract up this summer? Anyone who would buy him now would only do so for a very small fee anyways. He will be gone on a free next summer.
I know, but no harm in giving him a run out against a 3rd tier team. Might prompt someone to take him off us for the remainder of his contract if he could put in a half decent performance. No one is going to buy him, but take him on loan and share a small percent of his wages, at least he will be gone. Wishful thinking, i know!Anderson is out of contract in the summer, hasn't kicked a ball in months and has no future with Utd... he'll be off on a free, and the sooner the better.
He's had 7 years here to show what he can, or more the point, cant do... one game against lower league opposition is hardly likely to tell anyone anything they don't already know about the fat lazy useless bastard at this stage.
I'd rather see a 16 year old from the academy get a game than that so called footballer.
