Funny post that. However I don't think it will be that exciting myself.

That's my best case scenario :lol:

. I know all we will do is pass sideways and backwards till that one forward ball finds itself to Martial who will probably either create a goal or score one.

2-1
Shots on target that is, ending with a 0-0 scoreline.

I would go back to last seasons formation just to try something different.

Damo Mike Jones Rojo
Carrick
JMata Herrera Fellaini Young

LuisNaniencia · Oct 31, 2015

Reckon we'll win, but can't say I'm looking forward to watching it.

The Purist · Oct 31, 2015

I think this is the week where things go wrong for English clubs in Europe once again.

Can see ourselves (Arsenal), City and maybe Chelsea losing. As for you guys, you're so inconsistent and unpredictable in terms of results. The only thing you can be sure of is that the game will be boring as feck.

I could see United winning but could just as easily see CSKA getting a result.

Jeez, I should get paid for this level of insight.

No way will Chelsea lose to Dynamo at home. They'll fluke a 1-0.

Lewis.no.9 · Oct 31, 2015

If cska score first we are fecked. We show no fight or determination to overturn a defecit. We will just fall to bits if they take the lead.

SUBS: S. Romero, Blind, Carrick, Valencia, Memphis, Fellaini, Rooney.

Please please please LVG... just to see if it works. Also Mike could do with some rest if at all possible after an hour or so.

Winrar · Nov 1, 2015

it's quite telling of how dull and ineffective in attack our team is when majority of prediction (at the time of the writing) is a 0-0.

predicted 0-0 for last game but will be a bit more optimistic this time and predict a 2-1 win, not necessarily convincingly. surely, surely we have to end our goal drought.

marukomu · Nov 1, 2015

I'm not sure I can be arsed getting up for this one. It starts at 4.45am for me.

MyOnlySolskjaer · Nov 1, 2015

De Gea
Young Smalling Jones Rojo
Morgan
Herrera Pereira
Mata--------------£260,000
Martial

gooDevil · Nov 1, 2015

If we have to play Rooney I don't know which is worse, him ruining the attack or the midfield.

Neo
Darmian Mike Jones Rojo
Schneidy
Herrera Rooney
Mata Martial Memphis

It won't happen but we could hide Rooney this way:

Schneidy
Herrera Schweiny
Mata
Rooney Martial

We're getting nothing from wide areas anyway right now. But it's probably best we don't start fiddling with the formation again, unless it's to go to a flat front 3.

I predict:

First ten minutes we looks shaky with spells of possession.
After those first 10 minutes we pass around aimlessly for another 10 minutes before they quickly catch us on the counter and we are saved by one of Smalling or De Gea.
During a corner one of the opposition gets a header in but De Gea bails us out again.
Another corner, this time we counter using the fantastic pace of Schweinsteiger and Mata.
The counter fails, so we pass it backwards and the sideways till we get a corner.
Corner is scored luckily by Smalling or Schneiderlin.
We pass them to death till the half ends.

Second half starts off well. We get into the box but of course Rooney misses.
We dominate possession till the 70th minute when Fellaini comes on for no obvious reason. We hoof up to him a while.
In the 79th minute Martial dribbles passed two players scores.
For the next few minutes they continually attack but fail, making us look very shaky.
We get the ball and pass sideways till the match ends.

I'll petition your promotion if you're right

K2K · Nov 1, 2015

Stop putting lineup predictions without Rooney people.

suheilsworld · Nov 1, 2015

Ahmed Musa to win it for CSKA but we winning the possession and passing battle by a mile

CSKA will park two buses on Tuesday, so yeah, it'll probably be a shit game.

Still, they aren't exactly convincing away from home (maybe apart from beating the euro-idiots City last season), so I'm expecting a win. We should press more and play at a higher tempo to make our job of breaking them down easier, not passing it at the back for centuries before losing the ball in a moronic way.

sunama · Nov 1, 2015

I mistakenly, like a fool, predicted that we'd score against Man City, Middlesborough and Crystal Palace.
How wrong was I.

So, to hopefully get us to score, I'm going to predict that we will not score a goal. Hopefully, I'll be wrong again.

Rooney won't be dropped. So:

De Gea
Darmian Smalling Blind Rojo
Schneiderlin Bastian
Mata Rooney Young
Martial

1-0. Rojo from a set piece.

JustAFan · Nov 1, 2015

Huge hit to out knock out round hopes we will lose 2-0

facund · Nov 1, 2015

No goals in 300+minutes, barely a shot on goal, something has to give and I think/hope we'll see a veritable goal-fest as a result.

CSKA score first to light the touchpaper and it ends up 4-2/4-1 to United. Lingard gets his first goal somewhere amongst it all.

Ballache · Nov 1, 2015

2-0 Routine win at home. Mata and Smalling to score.

An Irish Red · Nov 1, 2015

We should give Rooney the Dougal McGuire treatment and have him watching the corner flags.

Unfortunately, he'll probably start and play the whole match.

Gerald G · Nov 1, 2015

De Gea
Darmian-Smalling-Blind-Rojo
Schneiderlin-Herrera
Mata-Rooney-Young
Martial

subs: Romero, Tuanzebe, Carrick, Basti, Pereira, Lingard, Fellaini

Mutter Merkel · Nov 1, 2015

Somebody put Rooney in the red zone.

Todd · Nov 1, 2015

0 - Whatever CSKA score

Dude, enough with the dramatic statements :rolleyes:

. We conceeded first against Wolfsburg and Southampton. Won both games!

Shark · Nov 1, 2015

If we don't score again, I think it's fair to say Caf members can freely start using the word ''embarrassing'' after the game, as it fecking well would be.

what planet is this coming from?

The last time United faced a deficit was a few matches ago in the last round. And they fought back from it. Facing deficits hasn't really been the problem lately.

RedDevil@84 · Nov 2, 2015

Hope we can manage to steal a point from CSKA. Should be a tight match with we creating 1 chance in 90 mins.

minoo-utd · Nov 2, 2015

Hope to see us play a quick football and have like 7-8 shots on goal. Oh what a dream that is!

Easy prediction this:

---------De Gea--------

Schneiderlin-Carrick------
Mata-Herrera-Martial
Rooney

Rooney to play 90 mins.. Mata to get subbed..
