LARulz · Jan 4, 2015

Can't play like we did today again

Hed Zitin · Jan 4, 2015

Must be licking their lips.

Señor · Jan 4, 2015

Feels like it's been ages since we've played at home. Let's smash these cnuts. Just please no 3-5-2!

Red Dreams · Jan 4, 2015

Need Blind back so bad. and I hope we get Strootman this window. need that ball winner...

De Gea

Carrick
Rooney Herrera Mata
Van Persie Di Maria

Kind of like how we finished the game today, with RvP in for Wilson, Carrick for Fletcher and the fullbacks in. Maybe Jones in for Evans, neither have been good but I reckon Evans will play as he's more 2 footed. Put Rojo in for Evans and this is probably what I'd have as our strongest 11, or very close to it. Don't think we've even played it before this season.

Edit: Shaw and Rafael injured. feck. Jones right back and Blackett left back then? Shaw's injury might have just been him being a bit dazed from the clash of heads from earlier on though, hopefully just that. Should be fine if it was.

RedMachine03 · Jan 4, 2015

Rafael and Shaw both injured.

charleysurf · Jan 4, 2015

Smalling or Jones at RB? Blacket at LB?

What a mess this could be. Be worried about this one.

Walters_19_MuFc · Jan 4, 2015

Hoping Shaw and Rafael are back for this game.

khoazany · Jan 4, 2015

I think LVG will play something like:

De Gea
Jones Smalling Evans
Carrick
Lingard Herrera Rooney Blackett
Di Maria
RVP Falcao

Hed Zitin · Jan 4, 2015

So what shit ass system are we playing now Shaw and Rafa are out? feck this shit!

Three at the back again now we have no full backs!

Galactic · Jan 4, 2015

No pink ball please.

this could be a big possibility. maybe valencia is going to be fit though? surely lingard is not going to thrown out straight away after being about 4 months out injured.

Pyroblazer · Jan 4, 2015

Shaw could be available for this, Rafael won't

Will be interesting to see who will play RB, McNair most likely? Maybe we can sign someone this week :lol:

SalfordRed1960 · Jan 4, 2015

Fancy, LVG may go for this one. I am assuming that Rojo will have a week to get back into contention. If not I think Evans will get back in. The four in the middle may be a diamond

DDG
Jones Smalling Rojo
Mata Herrera Carrick ADM
Rooney RVP Falcao

Probably Jones, and then Blackett at left back if Shaw is injured.

It's really awful and you just know with Smalling, Jones and Evans all together on the pitch, one of them will injure himself in this game.

Let's hope we make a signing in the meantime then! We really need a fullback soon.

4-2.

ThanksBoss26 · Jan 4, 2015

Just mentioned on another thread I think it'll have to be four at the back assuming Valencia is out. Jones at right back which isn't ideal and Blackett at left back, unless one of Blind or Rojo are fit to play there. The only way I can see it possibly being three at the back next week is if Valencia and Blind are both fit to start which seems very unlikely.

Galactic · Jan 4, 2015

When are we going to win 5-0 against a good side with a convincing performance all around?

Hed Zitin · Jan 4, 2015

Who is going to counter attack them now? Di Maria that's it? No pace in this team with the crocked players we have.

Seriously think they'll dominate us at OT after that shit today.

Don't think van Gaal would even start Rojo or Blind if they were fit, he's eased the players back in after injuries this season.

DomesticTadpole · Jan 4, 2015

Mane is out for around 6 weeks for Southampton according to SkySports.

There's an U-21 game on Friday, so if they are fit they might get a run out in that, can't imagine he would throw them straight in against Southampton. At least Carrick has had a rest today.

You're most likely right. Certainly not Blind as he's been out longer. He might through Rojo in if he has to like he did with Jones against Liverpool.

Walters_19_MuFc · Jan 4, 2015

Sky sports have confirmed that Mane's out for 6 weeks. Bit of good news, as he's been in pretty good form of late.

True, he may have no choice. And as @DomesticTadpole pointed out, there's an U21 game on Friday they could get some minutes in.

buckooo1978 · Jan 4, 2015

I'd play (assuming Rafael and Shaw are out)

-------------------DDG--------------------
Smalling----Jones-------Evans----Blackett
------------------Carrick-------------------
----------- Herrera-------Di Maria---------
--------------------Mata-------------------
------------RVP------------Rooney---------

hopefully no fecking injuries!

YouOnlyLiveTwice · Jan 4, 2015

-------------DeGea---------------
Jones-McNair-Smalling-Blackett
-------------Carrick---------------
-----Herrera-------Rooney-------
--------------Mata----------------
------DiMaria-----vPersie--------

With our luck there really is no point, look at how it worked out with Shaw and Rafael!

Trizy · Jan 4, 2015

So apparently LVG said in a presser after Yeovil that Shaw (ankle) and Rafael (fractured cheek bone) are injured.. well this is fecking great considering the match against Southampton is massive for us to start in third.
