Well there goes that short lived fun
2017 Pre Season | Sampdoria vs Manchester United
- Thread starter Invictus
- Start date
Last season.That Sampdoria form... Are those pre-season games or does it include games from last season? If the former, that doesn't do much to start the new season in good spirit. Just imagine the scene here on Redcafe if United would post such pre-season figures.
Thought it would be a better guide than their pre-season fixtures (where they thrashed teams like Sellero Novelle 11-0).
I'm jealous of you guys going to the match
Have a good one all!
Have a good one all!
That clamping carry on is just pathetic attention seeking from the clampers.
I just got back from America today or I would have gone. Saying that is pissing down over here
Its the Aviva. Its always fecking cold. Id recommend Arsene Wengers duffel coat even if its 30 degrees.
feck me lighten up. They were having a little funIve around 10 pints drank and was just told that I'd have to leave the bar if I didn't stop being such a nuisance and so loud. All part and parcel of a BPs day out on the town
Every second person in town has a United jersey on
Atletico and Juventus have also exploited Barcelona in Europe 3 of the last 4 seasons. Also, domestically Atletico have sort of owned Real in recent seasons.
How long until the Line Ups?! Yes , my afternoon at work is slow....
Saw my first two Sampdoria supporters. Have a feeling they'll be quite lonely tonight.
10 mins.
An hour to go and i am falling asleep
Lineups pls!
Lineups pls!

3-5-2?
I like that midfield!
Gonna leave my bag at a luggage drop off place, cheers for the warning, would've been fecked without it!
Feck me, Matic is starting. Can't wait!!!!!!
Is Darmian a winger?
Looks like it.
Is that Darmian as a winger or just an odd way of listing the team?
De Gea
Lindelof Smalling Blind
Matic
Valencia Pereira Pogba Darmian
Mkhitaryan
Lukaku

Matic
Valencia Pereira Pogba Darmian

Always wanted to see Darmian as a winger
That's.. okay I like it, very current/modern. Add "Manchester United" on it and we're good.Just seen our crest on SocrStrms
Darmian is going to be a very important player for Jose if the manager decides to play 3-5-2 regularly, can't believe i have said this
352! Also great to see pereira there alongside matic and pogba. Normally in a 352 though id prefer miki next to pogba so we can have space for another striker. Put herrera in for pereira though and theres a good chance we use that vs madrid.
Seems a 3-5-2
Darmian preferred.to Tuanzebe?

3-5-2?? Interesting, but happy to see Pereira paired with Pogba.
Darmian is wing back.
If you can imagine someone who can contribute in attack in his position it's a really strong team.

The return of Valencia as the winger. Looks like mourinho is signalling to Ed where he wants his next signing and also maybe he thinks this can work? Maybe he thinks having valencia and a younger winger rather than perisic for 48 million is better.
Poor Romero, no reunion.Wow, Matic starting, possibly starting against Real.
Ok what formation are we playing? We have both Blind and Darmian in the starting XI. Is Valencia going to play on the wing18:45KEY EVENT

Well Darmian is a full back and Tuanzebe is a centre back. He'll play the second half.
Blind at centre back.Ok what formation are we playing? We have both Blind and Darmian in the starting XI. Is Valencia going to play on the wing
Think that may be the team for the super cup if you swap Pereira and Herrera
and matic there to sweep up
Looks like a 3-5-2 of sorts, interested to see where Pereira plays in this system.
