Bournemouth 2:1 Manchester United

Charlie Foley · Dec 9, 2015

I've seen Bournemouth play in every division except the PL (my uncle lives there). Really looking forward to this match.

Any news on Herrera?

Herrera was reported as saying he was back in training by the Manchester Evening News. However, you know that old chestnut, match rhythm. He'll have to play a hundred reserve games before LvG will be satisfied. Hopefully he will be at least an option on the bench.

Hardly applied to Nick Powell

He applies it where he feels. Although the amount of injuries we have might have knocked it on the head.

Red Dreams · Dec 10, 2015

at least Morgan is back. Herrera is listed as doubtful.

Match rhythm story goes out the window, he played Nick effing Powell in a must win CL game for FFS

chicha14 · Dec 10, 2015

If Morgan is fit then maybe we will see Carrick at CB

.............De Gea

Varela Carrick Blind Jackson/Young

............Schneiderlin

Lingard Mata Fellaini Memphis

.............Martial

chicha14 · Dec 10, 2015

According to physioroom: Schneiderlin, Rooney, Herrera and Jones are all expected to be back on the 12th. Please be true

If Physio room is accurate, I expect this to see this

De Gea, Varela, Jones, Blind, Jackson/Young, Schneiderlin, Herrera, Rooney , Mata , Memphis, Martial.

Should be enough to beat Bournemouth

It says something that Rooney coming back might be a blessing. There again at least he is another body and what a body.

He played 2 Reseves games since coming back from injury.

Hopefully he can actually start earning his pounds.

Spock · Dec 10, 2015

Still staggered from the calamity.

Right now I'll take a dour performance if it gets us the win. As for a starting XI, we need to know who's fit and who's not. Herrera would be a massive lift. I'd even take Rooneh back at this point.

ottosec · Dec 10, 2015

Rooney will be back for this one, so obviously we'll go back to creating feck all.

Red Dreams · Dec 10, 2015

listed as doubtful though.

Walters_19_MuFc · Dec 10, 2015

De Gea
Varela McNair Blind B-Jackson
Carrick
Lingard Fellaini Mata Young
Martial

Red Dreams · Dec 10, 2015

that would work

It'll have to work. Still very uninspiring lineup.

unfortunately we are even less inspiring when we play.

I take it you don't think much of Nick Powell?

I think LVG will be looking for a 0-0 scoreline for this one. He'll just want to get some stability now and Rooney should assure us the 0-0 scoreline (certainly 0 goals for us).
What I don't understand is how a player who cannot score goals, is getting into our team.

You would think that and you're right to think that. But this Van Gaal's army you're talking about so beating any team, however weak they are, isn't a given anymore. Hell even scoring one goal nowadays comes as a surprise to me.

Maradona10 · Dec 10, 2015

Team should be (Assuming jones and,Morgan are back)
De gea
Young
Jones (60 mins)
Blind
Darmian
Carrick
Morgan/fellaini
Lingard
Depay
Mata
Martial

Take jones off after 60 mins(hopefully win the game by then) send on tuanzebe/mccnair

Varela McNair Lingard on the one side...is this a carling cup game?

When they post players to be back on that date it usually means they are doubtful. Doesn't necessarily mean they'll be back.

I was trying to make a point about the match rhythm argument.

Never really been on to physioroom so not 100% sure how accurate or reliable they are, hence why I said " please be true"

Sad but true.. Especially away from home.

bosnian_red · Dec 10, 2015

So if nobody who was out for the last game is ready for this, with Schweinsteiger suspended now... We're basically left with:

De Gea
Varela Carrick Blind CBJ/Young
Fellaini Pereira
Lingard Mata Memphis
Martial

I guess you can put McNair in defence and Carrick in midfield instead of Fellaini/Pereira... Either way, we're a bit fecked.

Red Dreams · Dec 10, 2015

Powell may play some part. On the bench at least?

Physioroom is my go-to site to find out of a player is injured or not. If he's confirmed injured it will be there. The dates are sort of guesswork unless otherwise stated. Mostly it's based solely off what the club have reported. If it's 4-6 weeks they'll show the minimum and then extend it based on the manager's press conference. It won't change if the manager says "maybe he'll be ready".

Ludens the Red · Dec 11, 2015

If we lose this one it may actually be understandable.

Sweet Square · Dec 11, 2015

0-2 United

United teams used to show a reaction after bad results. I still think that is what we should expect.

marukomu · Dec 11, 2015

Maybe I would take a 0-0.

Doesn't look that bad of a line-up to me (if you replace Fellani with Carrick in midfield).Inexperienced yes, but should produce some good football.Needs the two seniors (Carrick and Mata) to really step up though.

Wednesday at Stoke · Dec 11, 2015

With the suspension confirmed:

deGea
Varela McNair Blind BoJack
Carrick
Mata Pereira Fellaini Young
Martial

KingCantona87 · Dec 11, 2015

I have absolutely no hope for this game, given the tumescent bollocks we've become accustomed to under LVG so far this season. It will end in disappointment and a bore 0-0 draw.

It's basically half u21 and has 2 holding midfielders in defence... Sure, some exciting points to it, but in reality, away in the league, there's next to no chance of that working.
