Lovely gesture.

With Michael Owen commentating on Arsenal's game tonight I hope we don't get Hargreaves for our match.

Very classy of them, fair play. Nice gesture that.

Don't think that'll stop the Boo-ing of Hector Moreno.

They're both as bad as each other in different ways, Owen is generally dull and over used, and Hargreaves whilst more tolerable comes out with some stupid stuff.

BT really need to take a look at this, why doesn't Rio get some co commentary games, or even Mcmanaman.

Hargreaves cut & paste observations and 100 mile an hour talking grates on me much worse than Owen's bland nasally delivered points.

McManaman is getting some of City's games this season, don't want him on ours but I'd take Rio or hell even Glen Hoddle.

Not heard McManaman do reckon he'd be ok though.

BT need to mix it up a bit, I swear Owen is just packed away in a box after every game and put into storage with all the other props they have... The guy is just always on, and is so consistently dull.

Personally I like Alan Smith and Danny Murphy.

It'll look naff once Moreno has taken a knife to it and removed "Well Soon".

I'm not quite ready to write Rooney off yet. I may be alone on this....

you're not...although it's clearly not only down to him. We might not have Ronaldo or Messi, but we have a lot of talent in our squad and there's no way all of them can have such a low goal/assist return without it partialy/mostly being down to the way the team is set up. I'm not arguing the results, seeing as with a home win against PSV tomorrow and a win against Leicester on the weekend we can go through to the knockout stages in the CL and get the #1 spot in the league regardless of other results, and I'm of the opinion that next season (if not late on in this season) we'll start seeing the fruits of LvG's labour so to speak, but for now the team clearly isn't there yet.

I had a dream last night of Martial scoring two beauties

De Gea
Darmian...Smalling....Blind...Rojo
Bastian....Morgan
Mata
Wilson...............................Martial
Depay

Subs: Romero, McNair, Goss, Pereira, Lingard, Fellaini, Rooney.

VanGaalEra · Nov 25, 2015

I've gone with Memphis/Martial/Lingard/Mata as our front 4. Think Wayne off the bench?

Not sure which 2 out of Memphis/Martial/Rooney will play.

KiD MoYeS · Nov 25, 2015

I'd imagine Rooney is more likely to start than Martial, one coming back from illness, the other an injury.

Surely. They could both start though.

Escobar · Nov 25, 2015

I can see Schweini rested for that one with Fellaini in midfield next to Schneiderlin

Very classy of them.

Brightonian · Nov 25, 2015

I'd hope for something like this:

DDG
Darmian Smalling Blind Rojo
Schweinsteiger Herrera
Lingard Mata Depay
Martial

But I think it's unrealistic to expect to see Herrera in midfield or Rooney not starting, despite Van Gaal's comments about the latter. Also Darmian is probably still not allowed. We'll probably end up with something more like this:

DDG
Young Smalling Blind Rojo
Schneiderlin Schweinsteiger
Lingard Rooney Depay
Martial

EDIT: Oh, just seen Herrera's ruled out. Bugger.

El-Manos · Nov 25, 2015

Think Mata will be dropped for this one. I went with

-----------------De Gea-----------------
Young-----Smalling---Blind----Rojo

--------------Schneiderlin---Schweinsteiger

Lingard------Rooney-----Martial
---------------Depay------------

Extreme class from PSV. I've always liked the Dutch. They're a very easy people to get along with. Having travelled the world, their sense of civility is right up there with the very best.

Turnip · Nov 25, 2015

Loving the banner. Can we make one that just says "Get Moreno!"

Mustafa Ahmed · Nov 25, 2015

Hoping for:

De Gea
Darmian Smalling Blind Rojo
Schweinsteiger Schneiderlin
Lingard Rooney Young
Martial

Subs: Mata, Memphis and Darmian.

Prediction: 3-0 (Young, Martial and Bastian)

We can pass it around the stadium as he moves up and down the field. :lol:

OR

Do what those German lads did and get a bunch of arrows and point towards wherever he is.

Just get Phil Jones to spend the 90 mins running after him full pelt, no matter where the ball is, making Phil Jones faces. If the fecker goes to take a shit, I want Jones breaking through the stall door with his face.

So has LVG lost this one before it has started again or what?

Classy if true. A great gesture on their part.

With Martial, Rooney and Fellaini confirmed fit, I'm going with:

------------ De Gea
Darmian - Smalling - Blind - Rojo
--- Schneiderlin - Schweinsteiger
Lingard ---- Rooney ----- Memphis
------------- Martial

Think the only variations of this we could see is Young at RB, and one of Lingard, Mata, or Memphis not starting on the wings. Knowing LVG he'll start Memphis up top and Martial at LW.

Subbing Darmian for Darmian?

It's the best way to ensure a like-for-like substitution to avoid having to change the tactics to accomodate for a different type of player.

Red Dreams · Nov 25, 2015

I see the vast majority do not even expect us to concede.

Not unreasonable I suppose. But I think we will not be gung ho. Don't expect us to score more than 2 at the most.

Knowing LVG, he'd probably still switch the formation.

Tincanalley · Nov 25, 2015

I have a funny feeling about tonight. Its not a particularly good feeling. Dunno why.

lem8sh · Nov 25, 2015

We'll win comfortably

Drifter · Nov 25, 2015

Great to see some younger players sprinkled in the squad.

Fair shout. We've conceded one goal, a penalty, when we switched to 3 at the back, in how many minutes? I don't expect the flood gates to open just because of that. Our defense has been playing very well. I just hope LVG doesn't start with the same formation we ended with against Watford.

Walters_19_MuFc · Nov 25, 2015

Really hope we see a front three of Memphis, Martial and Lingard tonight.

ShakeUnBake · Nov 25, 2015

That banner is great.

There has been some turmoil about a video of a PSV training session earlier this week. Former international Stijn Schaars (not currently in the first XI) had a go at Luciano Narsingh for being dismissive of coaching. "Some lads are only out for themselves here! It's just teamcoaching!" Schaars yelled.

If it get Narsingh off his game, all the better. Quick player, good crossing, good finisher.

Mciahel Goodman · Nov 25, 2015

Say what you want about van Gaal, but it's pretty good to look at the team options and see a bunch of names that are relatively unknown. Really does give youth a chance.
