Mata-Ibra-Rooney. What pace

Also, Bailly at RB should be interesting.

 

[Bojan11]

phwoaaaaar!!! The pace in that line up

Need to address that in January.

Atleast Blind is starting over Darmian.

 

[SwansonsTache]

Surprised with Carrick starting again. Thought we would have needed him against WBA in the weekend. Will probably go off for Fellaini if we grab the lead.

 

[Devil81]

I like that team, Bailly giving extra height on corners with Benteke around.

God knows what he's doing with Martial, is he injured?

 

[Devil may care]

So it's 4-3-3 I'm guessing, the slothery either side of Ibra does not bode well, I also don't get playing Carrick in this one, I thought we'd save him for West Brom.

 

[BlueCelery]

I actually fancy Palace to get something tonight. They're the 5th highest scoring team in the League with Zaha & Benteke in great form they just simply can't defend. That probably won't matter though with the way you lot waste chances at the moment.

 

[SirAnderson]

Surprised Carrick starting again I must say...but I ain't complaining. Surely he will not play against West Brom then.

 

[SirAF]

Bailly at RB? Has he had a game there?

He played there a lot in Spain

 

[ZAGREB RED]

Looks like Bailly at RB, think he is quicker than Jones anyway ? Glad Blind is in over Darmian. Bailly is the only one I missed in my lineup prediction.

 

[JB08]

Not sure about Bailly at RB. Glad Darmian isn't playing LB though. Surprised Carrick is starting, but glad of course. I actually don't mind the look of that front 4 at all, and any game with Pogba/Carrick/Herrera is good in my books.

 

[Android1974]

4 center-backs defensive line!

 

[harms]

Is TFM injured?

 

[Janson]

Yeah.

 

[SirAnderson]

4 center-backs defensive line!

And here I thought we had a CB problem...more like fullback problems

 

[Summit]

Surprised Carrick starting again I must say...but I ain't complaining. Surely he will not play against West Brom then.

Why man? Zlatan starts every game and he's drawing a pension.

 

[whatwha]

How come the starting line-up is out already even thought they haven't arrived at the ground?

 

[SirAnderson]

Is TFM injured?

Sadly no...

 

[xplatformjedi]

So if Bailly is slotted ahead of Darmian at right back...

Right backs = Valencia...Bailly...

So we obviously need to bring in a LEFT BACK. We'll see how Blind handles Palace because they can score.

 

[Android1974]

Why man? Zlatan starts every game and he's drawing a pension.

Just look at the face of the two when the game ends. Carrick's face all torn and red, Ibra's almost not sweating.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Martial better be injured instead of straight out dropped.

Mourinho is completely yo-yoing his confidence if he's dropped him again.

 

[VanGaalyTime]

Are these supposed to be difficult questions?

Well considering we don't have an obvious right back in the team, and Rojo and Blind rarely start together, I thought it was worth asking. Appreciate the input.

 

[SirAnderson]

Why man? Zlatan starts every game and he's drawing a pension.

Zlatan is a beast of another world. And the midfield is a different challenge that how Zlatan plays Striker. But hey, if he doesn't get injured and can managed it, by all means, I will be a happy man. Just don't want all the games to take a toll and he gets injured in a time when we really need him.

 

[Raw]

Why man? Zlatan starts every game and he's drawing a pension.

Zlatan seems to be in better shape. And he doesn't really move as much as Carrick either.

 

[Devil81]

Glad Rooney's starting as he's been playing well of late, I'm hoping his inclusion can be the difference tonight.

 

[SamVimes]

They need to fire their travel company....

United leave it late in London... again

There are reports that Manchester United haven't arrived at Selhurst Park yet because of bad traffic.

And Palace have just retweeted a fan saying it's "traffic worst I've ever seen around Selhurst".

Didn't this happen about 10 times to United in London last season?

 

[izec]

4 center-backs defensive line!

Blind is not a CB

 

[FromTheBench]

Dont like that lineup to be honest.

Seems too narrow and slow.

 

[Woodzy]

Where's Martial?

 

[SirMattBugsby]

Carrick, Rooney, Mata, Ibra, Blind together.. We'll definitely try to slow things down.

 

[SirAnderson]

Dont like that lineup to be honest.

Seems too narrow and slow.

Yeah I had Lingard and Rash starting, but hey, lets see if it works before we smash it up

 

[Castia]

Not much pace in that side but still more than enough creativity let's hope we can convert our chances tonight.

 

[VanGaalyTime]

Watch for Cabaye in this one. Has a habit of throwing naughty challenges around against us for some reason.

 

[Android1974]

Martial better be injured instead of straight out dropped.

Mourinho is completely yo-yoing his confidence if he's dropped him again.

Mourinho explicitly scolded him for not covering defensively when Sissoko was tearing Darmian apart. That's the reason. Martial has to understand he cannot save himself only for the attacking pirouettes.

I'm wondering who coordinates these things because they are blissfully unaware that traffic exists in London.

 

[cyberman]

I like it. Rooney seems to play well from the left and we probably need a bit of guile rather than pace to break through their leaky defence.

 

[Jacky Quacky]

De Gea
Bailly Jones Rojo Blind
Carrick
Mata Herrera Pogba Rooney
Zlatan

Very similar team to the one against Swansea. We should be alright I hope.

 

[DWelbz19]

Err... Nice.

 

[Smores]

Late to a game again

 

[Reddevildans]

Not sure pace is imperitive in this game. Its a tight pitch and so more incisive passing maybe required. I think we'll be quite narrow in this game which will be fustrating. We must take all chances presented.

No pace.
