Manchester United 2:1 Everton

itso 7 · Sep 27, 2014

A lot depends on Herrera's fitness and who will replace him, if he is out.

Mato87 · Sep 27, 2014

We can actually win this, Iam very hopeful, without rooney it will be tough now, I guess Mata will fill the gap very well, what worries me, if Herrera will be fit for this one aswell. And what about the back four I'd like to see Jones/Mcnair with Rojo or Blackett together with Rafael and Shaw on the sides.

Just hope Lukkaku doesnt decide to up his game, and terrorize our already shakey defence

2 man midfield · Sep 27, 2014

12 o'clock kick off. Can't remember the last time we were on so early.

Good thing is that Everton playing away in Russia on thursday night, should be tired for this early game.

Great news! Statistically, teams perform poorly right after European away games. Everton travel to Russia and then play us away.

No. And Rojo-McNair should play together again.

If Herrera is fit I would fancy us to beat them.They have a europa league game on thursday, havn't been in good form and we're at home.It's really hard to say though, with our defence and attack anything could happen.Going for a 3-2.

footballgirl07 · Sep 27, 2014

Really hope Herrera's injury isn't bad.

Paul_Scholes18 · Sep 27, 2014

I feel positive for this one. Everton hasn't impressed and neither have us, but I feel with this win that we will win
3-1. Hopefully Carrick is back then I will feel even more comfortable we need him as our leader.

Bwuk · Sep 27, 2014

Well need Blind to pick up Naismith. I'd say his movement is Evertons biggest assets this season.

Mata inn for Rooney might not be so bad

I wonder if Louis will try to fit Fletcher into the team, though
He was quick to sub in the vice captain after Rooney got sent off

Is Blackett still suspended?

2 more games.

EmPeeKay · Sep 27, 2014

This will be a tough game, however I am quietly confident we can win against Everton. Their defense looked shaky at times today against Liverpool and Barry was a liability. 3-1 to us.

Havak · Sep 27, 2014

Suppose we can't expect anything much different than this:

de Gea
Rafael McNair Rojo Shaw
Blind
Herrera Di Maria
Mata
van Persie Falcao

However, I would like to see a 4231 with Januzaj/Mata/Di Maria behind Falcao.

BenRobbins · Sep 27, 2014

If carrick can start i would like to see:

Blind
Carrick Herrera
Di Maria

Just to shore things up and offer a little more protection. We will be able to keep the ball better and hopefully go toe to toe with evertons midfield which is very impressive, mcarthy is a cracking player and along with barry and besic they all work extremely well together.

Gerald G · Sep 28, 2014

De Gea
Rafael--McNair--Rojo--Shaw
Blind
Herrera--Di Maria
Mata
van Persie--Falcao

I really hope Jones is fit to start. Lukaku will destroy him. I hope I'm wrong.

FromTheBench · Sep 28, 2014

Need Herrera and Jones to be fit for this.

Mcnair did well and all but don't think he's up for Lukaku yet. Not sure Rojo is either fully too.

And who the hell is backup for Herrera anyway ? Pereira to start if he's out ?

I've no idea about coleman, but I remember last season, they absolutely ripped us apart especially coleman, that boy is lightning quick

RDCR07 · Sep 28, 2014

Our first real test in terms of the strength of the opposition team and a top 5 contender.

Fellaini? Shit he is going to be back? Why so soon?

Paolo Di Canio · Sep 28, 2014

May need to change the formation up for this one, we cannot afford to have Baines/Coleman/McGeady/Miralles running at our fullbacks

Jagga7 · Sep 28, 2014

I think we'll win this one. They play a pretty open games and our attack is lethal. High scoring game 4-2 to us!

This would be surprising given what LvG said about Carrick just a week ago.

Bwuk said:

Agreed, Naismith is not the type of player that will get much media attention but he's a constant threat for Everton in somewhat of a free role or playing from the right with license to switch with Lukaku.

They have to travel to Russia mid-week, come back late Thursday night and apparently Martinez has been prioritising Europa.

We should expect a win but it will be difficult. At least Rooney can be replaced with Mata, Herrera's injury is the concern though.

Exactly my thoughts. Also looks like Miralas is not going to be fit. I'm feeling confident. If Jones is back as reported he should be able to handle Lukaku.

prateik · Sep 28, 2014

If Jones is fit and starts, it might be the end of having a youth product in the starting lineup thing.

That record is only applied for match day squad...Impossible to have the record for XI due to injuries etc.

Rafa? was 15 when he came here.

No
17. Signed for 2.6m

But he's been coming here since he was 15.

LR7 · Sep 28, 2014

Everton having an away game in Russia on Thursday night could hopefully work to our advantage because Martinez has been naming strong line-ups in the EL as it's quite obviously a competition he wants to do well in. We need to use situations like these to our advantage as for us, it is the only benefit of not being in Europe this season, so hopefully we should be fresher and sharper. I don't think it'll be easy though. I really want Falcao to get a goal. He's been assisting, which is fantastic (and sightly unusual for him) but I want him to get on the score sheet.

the hea · Sep 28, 2014

DDG
Rafael Jones Rojo Shaw
Blind
Herrera Di Maria
Mata
RVP Falcao

If Herrera is fit I think we have a good chance of beating them they have a though away game on Thursday and have not been in good form so far this season.

Señor · Sep 28, 2014

Rooney nearly always has a mare against his old club so him being out for this one and Mata coming in may be a blessing in disguise.

Missing the Chelsea game, on the other hand, is a huge blow as he nearly always scores against them!

Witchking · Sep 28, 2014

Going to Old Trafford for th first time ever. All excited. Hope Everton get trashed. Will be an amazing experience!!!

Insanity · Sep 28, 2014

We'll win this one. Europa seems to be already taking it's toll on Everton and their smallish squad. An early kick-off on Sunday after a game in Eastern Europe on thursday is never good.

De Gea
Rafael Jones Rojo Shaw
Blind
Herrera Di Maria
Januzaj
Van Persie Falcao

Like to start Januzaj at 10. If not him then Fletcher in Herrera's position and Herrera as 10.

Do they have transport links to Manchester from Angmar?

Seriously, we should be winning this. Thursday game for Everton, they're not in good form and even with Rooney missing Mata, Falcao and van Persie up front along with Di Maria, Herrera and possibly Januzaj also should be too much.

Kaos · Sep 28, 2014

I'm going to this

Beginning to wonder if RVP-Falcao-Mata have a wonderful understanding in the upcoming run of games whether LVG might consider not rushing Rooney back in..

He he, I have my nazgul :P

Got scared for a minute when you said Everton and Thursday in the same line, thought i didn't check properly.

Yeah on paper United should beat Everton, but you never know right now which United will turn up.

Will take time to gel completely and i am very confident of LVG's methods. He somehow gives me confidence that all is going to be ok.

Right now i am ready to take a Champions League spot and that is minimum for United this season.

dove · Sep 28, 2014

Can't remember last time we won 2 matches in a row. But who knows, everton also plays shit so far, so maybe we will win like 4-3

red_nostradamus · Sep 28, 2014

I think we should this formation against Everton, if Carrick is fit and ready. We need more protection, calmness and precision in passing, Carrick gives us exactly that. Mata isn't tactically smart, so it's a risk to play him.
