NBCSN usually show all United league games at 3pm or earlier, a few late kick offs get pushed to obscure online channels they have but mostly their main channel shows United.

Pretty decent coverage too, and the pundits are more bearable than some of those we have to listen to over here.

Yeah but my mate's sat dish can't pick up America. Much nicer to watch an HD transmission on a big telly. Guess we'll have to play 5-Live for the commentary.

Praying for an early goal from us so they can't play Pulisball all game.

Hehe, I actually have a movie theater in my building where I can watch the United games with some mates. Pretty cool!

I think a lot of folks must watch on European satellites. Pain getting the commentary to sync though. Seems to involve a lot of bluetooth and pausing by the look of it. Would be kind of distracting if you had to do it yourself.

I've a feeling Rooney will score again tomorrow

I felt he showed a few flashes especially early on and the way he celebrated his goal was all about relief

Really hope we see an energised, angry Rooney get a goal tomorrow and go on a run

If you've a PC or Laptop, most TV's are easy enough to connect to them these days, that's what i do and use Kodi to watch NBCSN in HD.

We know that and the rest of the fans know that but how often has Martial played up top when Rooney has been in the side?

In our last game?

I've never seen a pirate river in 1080 HD on Kodi or anywhere else. It's just much better quality on satellite TV. I saw the 4k football broadcast the other day on a massive high quality TV set and thought that's how armchair football should be watched.

All games aren't, but the Phoenix app tends to have a HD stream of NBSCN of 3pm league games.

Phoenix has been rather shite this season though, games going up just after kick-off or cup/CL games not at all. But the 3pm games at least tend to be there.

Obviously if you've got satellite then there's no need, but as an alternative there are good rivers out there, they are often just hard to find unfortunately.

The broadcasters have started cracking down a bit more recently, especially sky with that translucent number under the SkySportsHD logo.

Is Schneiderlin back for this?

Crustanoid · Nov 7, 2015

0.0 draw. We might also get a couple of chances on goal against these

He is in the squad but would be surprised if he plays, heard he hasn't trained.

The day before a game is hardly a training session. Who knows but I highly doubt he is 100%, so I don't think he will feature.

Against a Pullis team that would be massively well organised I'm sure that we'll face a tough test pretty similar to what we had against Moscow but even harder cause they had players who can hurt on the break.

It reminds me so much our game againts them last year when we lost after 70% of possession.

I guess that we'll have this kind of game.

Regarding the line up, of course my opinion is very different of LVG and the way he will set up his team.

I don't understand/like, the way he modify his defense with Young RB, Blind CB and Rojo LB when the first is needed higher, the second is not better than Jones and less suited to physical chalenges, and Rojo not very good against team well organised when our full back needs to play donw the wing, bring speed and good crosses. What he's not good at.

I hope that there will be a bit of changes through the middle. I would like to have a more dynamic midfield trio than Roo-Basti-Carrick. And of course, the big thing who will play on the wings ?

In our current shape, Mata is clearly useless. No movement from Young/Carrick/Basti or Rooney (unlike last year with Herrera and Valencia around him), and I'm not really convinced by Lingard. He's fast, direct (proper Academy player), but I'm still doubting his abilities with the ball at his feet, which his the main point for a footballer. I really think that he has nothing more than Januzaj for example. But our team is so un balanced that we have no option down the flanks

And this is exactly what we have to do to beat them. Bring the ball on the wing play 2vs2 with speed and pace on the wing and create space in the middle. But this is our former us... now this is pass, pass, pass, De Gea's miracle, pass, pass, pass, Smalling's miracle, pass, pass, pass, bring on Felli etc

What I would like to see

-----------------------------------------De Gea------------------------------------------
Jones--------------------------Smalling---------Rojo------------------------------Blind
-------------------------------------Schweinsteiger-------------------------------------
Lingard------------------------Herrera----------Fellaini--------------------------Young
-----------------------------------------Martial------------------------------------------

What we'll see

-----------------------------------------De Gea------------------------------------------
Young--------------------------Smalling---------Blind------------------------------Rojo
--------------------------------Schweinie-------Morgan----------------------------------
Mata-------------------------------------Herrera----------------------------------Lingard
-------------------------------------------Rooney------------------------------------------

The second team is way better to be honest. Except that martial is the first name on the team sheet now. We may see Herrera alongside Bastian due to Morgan s illness. hope Herrera has a good game.

Any chance of Jones coming back in you reckon lads? FF related question :nervous:

Jesus...Some cock and ball pundit on Irish TV..."This has the potential to be the most boring, dullest game in Premier League history" :lol:

It's almost as if he didn't watch the derby recently

No of course not. I was being sarcastic. I hate this pile of rubbish football we're playing and hope we go out all guns blazing. But we won't because LVG.

Giggsy92 · Nov 7, 2015

I hope we see Herrera as one of the two CMs, surely in a game like this where West Brom will undoubtedly park the bus we don't need both Carrick and Schweinsteiger.

Ah christ, I forgot about that. Stick Young there then if Valencia isn't back, thought he was great v CSKA.

IMO We should always find a place for Young in the team. Whatever position he always gives us a solid 6 to 8 out of 10 and often makes the difference in either defence or attack in key periods of a game. He's far more consistent than the likes of Darmian, Rojo and Memphis whose places he could easily take.

theyneverlearn · Nov 7, 2015

Struggling with the lineup prediction for this one. I can only guarantee around 7/8 points and the other few are up in the air.

My current prediction is:

de Gea
Young Smalling Blind Rojo
Morgan Bastian
Mata Rooney Lingard
Martial
_______________________

Lingard may start on the right with Depay/Pereira coming in. Jones may be back which would move Blind/Rojo out. Morgan may not be ready to come straight back in, which would mean Carrick/Herrera/Fellaini coming in.

Be surprised if anyone gets 11/11 today.

Edit: Darmian suspended... before everyone else lets me know.

I've gone 0-0. West Brom are solid defensively and we have struggled to score in recent games.

Id take out Morgan and put in Carrick, and thats the team I expect today.

Libano · Nov 7, 2015

BFS to score his first for United...if he plays. He's on holiday for the international break, no need to rest him. No Fellaini please but Schneiderlin/BFS/Herrera.

Walters_19_MuFc · Nov 7, 2015

We struggle against teams that play with 10 men behind the ball, and West Brom are certainly one of those teams. I would like to see two up top and two wingers, who will look to keep the width and stretch, what I can imagine, will be a very deep and compact West Brom side.

UnitedinRed · Nov 7, 2015

Be happy with a 1-0 win considering the opponents. Any more goals is a bonus but getting the 3 points is vital.

the hea · Nov 7, 2015

Something like this is what I dream about.

DDG
Darmian Smalling Jones Rojo
Schweinsteiger Herrera
Lingard Mata Young
Martial

iKnowNothing · Nov 7, 2015

@the hea Darmian is suspended.

Catt · Nov 7, 2015

Looking forward to 90 mins of frustration and anger. 0-0 I reckon.
