    Im glad Pelle doesnt play but Long,Tadic and Mane will most likely cause a few problems.
    Think we will scrape through with a 2-1 win.

    Personally I think Lindgard deserves his place. Mata had a very long run in the team and hasn't produced. Same goes for Depay. Let's give the kid a chance before judging him too harshly.

    Bojan Djordjic is working for MUTV today and he says it should be Herrera next to Morgan and Mata in the team. Someone else who isn't a fan of Fellaini.

    I've said this before every game, recently.
    Fellaini will be the 2nd name on the team sheet, behind Rooney.
    I don't do line-up predictions, but if you do, put Fellaini in your prediction - its an easy one to get right.
    Rooney, Fellaini and DDG are absolute starters, for LVG.

    Remember, our aim is to win by 1 goal, so Fellaini should be effective in a 1-0 scoreline.
    What exactly are you basing this on? Before today Fellaini had started 7 games this season and based on that you think he is the second name on the team sheet.

    Sad to see at least one of Mata, Memphis, Januzaj or Pereira will definitely miss out
    None of them deserve to start aside from Pereira who absolutely deserves a shot at the very least. It has been shocking that of all the youngsters that have been brought into the side, he is the one that is constantly missing out.

    We need our full backs to have a good game if we're going to win this one. That defence looks very beatable on paper.. but CBJ does look a prospect.

    Agree although I think LVG left himself short that's why other have got game time and Pereira is in an area where we are well stocked. But the boy def deserves a chance.

    Don't get the Lingard inclusion tbh. Yes he offers pace, but the lad just isn't United quality and may never be. I don't see the HUGE potential in him, and hasn't done anything special so far. His greatest contribution was the fantastic goal he scored against West Brom but apart from that nothing extraordinary.

    LVG uses players in a "streaky" way.
    What I mean by this is that he wont pick a player today, then leave him for 5 games, then play him again, then leave for 5 games.
    What he tends to do is pick players in streaks, game after game after game, until he gets injured. Then another player gets a chance.

    Right now. Fellaini is that guy who is on a streak.
    Conversely, Mata was on a streak but after doing very little recently, he is now benched.

    Yes because Schweinsteiger and Carrick are missing.

    Why were we playing the 20th Century Fox music when the palyers walked out? Or it might have been the channel I am watching.
    And it wasnt even the good version

    Yeah, we've struck a deal with 20th Century Fox which has gone unnoticed a few weeks ago

    I agree but he still gives more than Memphis
