If it was 4am for me, I'd either stay up for it or go to sleep around 12, wake up for it at 4, then maybe go back to sleep depending on how I felt.
Solution right there. Staying up all night will only feck with the next day.
True, but I guess it depends on your schedule the following day.
I love watching footy in the early mornings. Watching the Copa America a couple of months ago, and Japan/South Korea during the Olympics all around 2-4 am was nice for me. I find watching stuff in the early morning whether it be football, movies, tv/anime, etc really comforting.Is there any chance Ibrahimovic doesn't start this game?
I recall Mourinho recently saying that he is tired, which is a bit of a concern.
Not seeing it happen, no way!
Another issue: Herrera's statements to United's site is it a sign he'll start today alongside Pogba?How did Southampton set up against Watford?
I remember reading they were surprisingly narrow. Tadic played as a number 10 with Redmond and Long up front. Plenty of pace there.
That's my opinion now if Pogba does start.
Don't worry. Five days since the last game and eight until the next, he'll definitely start.
Yes. That's why i asked. I keep hearing Redmond played down the middle and the team struggled.
Formation wise they looked like 4-1-2-1-2 and it didnt work properly in 1st half at all,Tadic played as number 10 behind Long and Redmond but when they switch in defensive shape,those 2 strikers moved on wings,making Tadic solo up front.
2nd half was a bit better for them but nothing special,at some point Watford one man sent off. Romeu (that DMC from Chelsea) had not so good game. Maybe they gonna change formation in a game vs us.4-0 tonight, Saints are mediocre at best without Koeman. This is our party , i can't wait! Just gotta get work out the way now -_-
I burst out laughing for that first part of the question, I remember the caos and ref looking like he's lost
On the game I can't wait for it. I have a feeling Pogba will start just like the other guys who got about a week's training and played the cs. I think Herrera plays alongside him and Mkhitaryan starts on the right.This is the most I've looked forward to a game in a while. Can't wait to see Pogba in action
It's going to be a somewhat regular thing this season, as I think they're doing it a couple times per month.
Also, In Rainbows
I'm going for a 3 with Carrick as well and dropping Rooney, with Mkhi coming in for Mata on the right.@ any regulars
am i likely to get told to sit down in SAF Tier 3, im on the very back row but i regualr stand ( normally go to Stretford End as no one seems to care) but due to a mess up on the membership i had to go SAF Tier 3 for this game. I really CBA sitting for the game, i get agitated. Im not gonna be jumping up and down or swearing my face off, i just want to stand/lean on the wall.Having a hard time with the lineup predictor.
Think Herrera is a safe bet to start considering recent noise from the club, and I'd wager Fellaini has also done well enough to start again alongside him. So I'm expecting Pogba to come on for one of the in the second half, but some of you seem to be confident he'll start too?
A little torn on the RW position too. Lingard would be ideal for this game but presumably he's not fit, so I'm tempted to have Mata in there based on merit, but again against a side like Southampton you think we'd go for someone quicker, so maybe a first start for Micky Targaryan? Arrgh.
One thing for sure though - its bloody great having these selection headaches again
This! I have the same headache. Really hate not getting it right. I currently have Fellaini starting with Pogba. I come in here to read and try and confirm my views but it just makes you more uncertain of what it will be!!Having a hard time with the lineup predictor.

I really hope the core 4 new signings will start and then Lingard, Smalling and one of Carrick or Schneiderlin come on second half. I want to put Rashford in but it just seems Mourinho is waiting for the cup games to start, in September he will get some games. Arrgh don't know anything!I can't make my mind up if I should put Pogba in as a starter or sub...
Don't think Smalling will be playing yet, so the back 5 is set. Don't think he'll drop Rooney or Zlatan either.
Journos think Pogba will start, so he will probably come in as a sub.5 hours away.
Seriously haven't been this excited about a United game in what seems forever. We actually have superstars on the pitch, aside from our goalkeeper.
Same here, feels like it's been a lifetime since I was this excited for a United game.5 hours away.

The roar from the crowd when Pogba comes on will be amazingThe wait is excruciating. Another 5 hours.Tweet
— Twitter API (@user) dateSky are only doing the sky pass for UK residentsWhats the latest on Lingard?
Time goes by so slowly...
I would phone them back and tell them that the time has changed and you can, in fact, meet them for lunch. It sounds like you have Grandparents who love you and you have a conscience. you can always catch the replay later and bask in the knowledge that you have made your Grandparents happy and sit back and enjoy the highlights of Pogba's hattrick when we spank Southampton 6-0. United will be around forever you Grandparents wont.Last edited:I hope Mourinho takes Rooney off at around 60 minutes, and tries this one out:
......back four
.......carrick
Herrera pogba
mk zlatan martial
I'm up there too, pal. Don't mind it up there usually, decent view from the back row.
Depends on the mood of the stewards, but I'd say it's more likely you'll be told to sit down than not. It's pretty rare I've known people to get away with standing all game in that part of the ground.
It's weird really, because I sometimes go in the East Stand lower and everyone stands up all game.
Fit enough for the bench apparently.Under LVG, I used to predict draws, losses and 1-0 or 2-1 wins.
Now, I only see us winning by at least 1 goal, but probably more.
3-0.
It's amazing the difference it makes when you have a Galactico class manager. We've missed this for 3 seasons.Tweet
— Twitter API (@user) dateFeck it,the Mourinho era 4-1 Utd.
I'm in China at the monemt. 3am kick off. You should definitely stay up and watch it. Can't miss Pogba's debut.
How does he know he's going to play? Cocky feck, get rid.
No problem fella! thanks for the heads up, i don't want to cause a drama on a game so i'll try and be good as long as i can stand for a bit. I was up there last year for the Palace game and despite the football itself being shocking , i was really enjoying that view point - I like to be able to see the formation lines properly and this spot does seem really good for that.
Lets hope its a riot.I've been thinking all week Pogba will be on the bench, but now moving towards him starting and playing an hour before being substituted.- Status
