I am going, but I'm not sure where I'm sitting as my ticket has been swapped with someone else's. I am not always a good-luck charm at our home games, but I would really hope we can win this one.

Sporting Lisbon
Celtic--------------De Gea----------
Valencia-Smalling-Rojo-Shaw
--------Herrera--Blind---------
---Di Maria--J Mata---Januzaj-
---------------RVP-------------
Prediction: 3-0 Di Maria hat trickSo Rooneys back fit as is Jones and RVP
But Evans and Shaw are injured, man everytime this kid looks like he's about to pick up some form he's injured again, I'm not so worried yet but thats not good for such a young man, hopefully next season he has a better start.Shaw injured, Carrick injured, if Rojo isnt fit we have a huge problem for the LB/CDM. Ddg, valencia, smalling, jones/mcnair, rojo, blind, herrera, di maria, mata, rooney, young would be my team.I've been predicting the correct 11 near enough every week recently, so here's this week's shot based on LVGs press conference.
-------------De Gea--------------
Valencia --Smalling -- Jones -- Blind
-----------Herrera----------------
------Rooney-------Fellaini--------
Mata--------------------Young
-----------RVP----------------Please, no Rooney in midfield. Play the only natural midfielder we have in this position and replace him with Di Maria. Herrera playing deeper and Di Maria to link the play with Mata next to him could avoid too many losses balls from ADM.
And Shaw’s injury record is getting more and more frustrating. We had Evra for 8 years who was never never injured, and a young guy comes in an play two game and miss 5… Such a pitty

That's the only glaring flaw you spotted in that midfield?

You'll know of course that McNair has been converted from a midfield player & compared to Carrick by the United staff & you'll have noted against Chelsea how comfortable he was, at bringing the ball out from the back.That's the only glaring flaw you spotted in that midfield?
Against WBA, a backline of Valencia, Jones , Smalling & Blind, with a midfield two of Herrera & McNair, with Rooney in front & with Young & Di Maria in wide positions & with Falcao up top, should be enough.Only Southampton and Chelsea have kept more clean sheets than these lot. Hopefully we can get an early goal to settle us down, if not then it could be a struggle.De Gea

Valencia - Smalling - Jones - Young

Rooney
Quite like thatNow we know Rooney is fit hopefully LvG can come up with a selection that avoids having to play RvP or Falcao.Think we'll play:
De Gea
Valencia Smalling Jones Blind
Rooney Herrera Fellaini
Di Maria RvP Young
I think we'll see a different Blind. Seems a bit more imposing at OT.Wonder if lvg would play di Maria in the ACM role instead of out wide.LVG is desperate to put Rooney in number 10, I just know it. With Fellaini getting taken off on Sunday against Everton, wonder if he'll start Rooney as a 10 with Falcao or RVP as the 9?
I would personally stick with the team we played against Everton. Well, if Jones and Carrick are fit they'd go straight back in, but other than that, I don't think one poor game warrants a place on the bench for Fellaini, although he wasn't the only one.
My team would be:
De Gea
Valencia - Smalling - Jones - Shaw
Carrick
Mata - Herrera - Fellaini - Young
RooneyHopefully the line up will be
DDG
Valencia Smalling Jones Blind
Ander
Mata Rooney Fellaini Young
RVP
I thought Ander did well in the Carrick role against Chelsea. Although Rojo at LB and Blind Ander Rooney up the middle is possible too, as said I'd prefer RVP in the strike role, plus I think we need someone to do some work along the edge of the box because West Brom will sit deep and what where I think Rooney is best.
I must say though. The Young/Di Maria situation is getting a bit worrying. Di Maria has been out of the team for a long time now and Young although competent really isn't in blazing form like he was.
Carrick isn't fit mate and Shaw is injured, LvG confirmed at the presser today. So Fellaini will play and Rooney will probably be the #8 like against Chelsea.About damn time we thump a team 5, 6, 7 nil. Let that be West Brom! Hehe.
Hope the lads get fired up to rebound from last week's poor display at Goodison.
Of course, ye. Just listened to the press conference. Why Rooney in midfield, though? Can't Blind go CDM, with Rojo left back, or is he injured too?
Rojo wasn't mentioned at all so most are assuming he must still be injured.
A great and an emotional match.
Oh, right...
Are you guessing that it'll be the same midfield we fielded against Chelsea then, with Herrera, Rooney and Fellaini?
Still pissed we didn't win that game. Played some great as well, but we were open as feck.
Yes unfortunately, with RvP up top instead of Falcao I imagine. Given we are at home I'd love to see a risk like playing Pereira in midfield and Rooney up top, but it's highly unlikely.
I think that match was more of a "Go and enjoy yourself".- Status
