Queens Park Rangers 0:2 Manchester United

YouOnlyLiveTwice · Jan 11, 2015

I think there is a good chance for a formation change in this game.

-----------DeGea------------
Rafael-Smalling-Rojo-Shaw
----Fellaini-Blind-DiMaria---
-----------Herrera-----------
----Falcao--------Rooney---

Or

------------DeGea-----------
Rafael-Smalling-Rojo-Shaw
--------Fellaini-Blind--------
DiMaria----Mata----Januzaj
-----------Rooney-----------

3-1 to United.

with that side what could possibly go wrong!!

LVG will have a word with himself and play either

-------------==---De Gea--------------------
Rafael-------Jones----Smalling--------Shaw
-------------Carrick-----Blind-----------------
Januzaj-----------Rooney------------Di Maria
---------------------Falcao---------------------

or

-------------==---De Gea--------------------
Rafael-------Jones----Smalling--------Shaw
---------------------Carrick--------------------
------------Herrera---------Di Maria----------
---------------------Rooney---------------------
-----------Adnan-------------Falcao------------

I'd play the 4-2-3-1 myself....quicker, more solid with Carrick and Blind and width

i hope he goes to back four again, but cant see Adnan playing respectively van Persie getting dropped.

4 0 let's smash them.

This has to be a very convincing win. They are terrible

Well they've been decent at home but yes, we have to win.

OnlyTwoDaSilvas · Jan 11, 2015

They're home record is very good. Drew with City, and really should have got a draw with Liverpool. Sod performance. I just hope we nick a win at any rate.

Offside · Jan 11, 2015

---------De Gea---------
Valencia Mcnair Jones Shaw
-----------Blind----------
----Herrera---Di Maria----
----------Mata-----------
-----Rooney---Falcao-----

Hopefully we win 3-1. Just attack and stop with this aimless passing shit. Hopefully a flat back 4 helps.

di Maria

Rooney - van Persie

Doubt Persie will be ready for this one since he went out with an ankle/foot injury. That will hopefully make space at top for Falcao again, together with Rooney. Other than that, pretty good. Would maybe play Carrick instead of Blind though.

Gerald G · Jan 11, 2015

De Gea
Rafael--Jones--Smalling--Shaw
Carrick--Herrera--Blind
Di Maria
Rooney--Falcao

or

De Gea
Rafael--Jones--Smalling--Shaw
Carrick--Blind
Januzaj--Rooney--Di Maria
Falcao

Anything but the 3-5-2 otherwise a draw and a lethargic performance awaits us.

the hea · Jan 11, 2015

This is what I would like to see.

DDG
Rafael Smalling Jones Shaw
Blind / Carrick
Fellaini--------- Herrera
Rooney RVP

This is what it will probably be

DDG
Jones Smalling Blackett
Valencia----- Carrick------ Shaw
Rooney Mata
Di Maria ----RVP

paulscholes18 · Jan 11, 2015

Ddg
Jones smalling Rojo
Valencia Herrera fellaini Blind

minoo-utd · Jan 11, 2015

Please for God sakes no 3-5-2.

caisenma · Jan 11, 2015

For me, I want no 3-5-2 and the return of Adnan.

Eric'sCollar · Jan 11, 2015

If we do start with the 3 at the back here, I will seriously worry for our top 4 chances. Something I haven't felt this season but we just can't continue with it.

We smashed QPR with 4 at the back, if van Gaal doesn't see it, I will have my first serious concerns of the season.

I didn't know he was injured though.

Asger · Jan 11, 2015

Why does so many want to drop Mata instead of Rooney when Mata has been better than Rooney in our last games?

WyoManU · Jan 11, 2015

I'll settle for a shot on target at this point...

sunama · Jan 12, 2015

We know its going to be 352.
My gut tell me - easy win.
But if we use statistics (past performance) to predict the result: DRAW...we always draw away!

Pexbo · Jan 12, 2015

Perfect opportunity to prove the 3-5-2 can work.

ZDwyr · Jan 12, 2015

Formation should change (but probably won't), and some players need to be dropped. I would be playing a back four and trust Valencia as the RB. Fellaini in for Carrick to give him a rest. Play Blind at the base of the diamond. Di Maria to LCM. Mata at the tip. Rooney and RvP/Falcao up front depending on fitness.

Which worries me more than a loss.

I'd much sooner take a 0-5 hiding if it meant it's the last we see of the 3-5-2. Because what I think will happen is we'll play 3 at the back, roll QPR over 0-3 or some such and it will give LvG the perfect excuse to bend the narrative and think the 3-5-2 works. Only for us to get proper trashed at the first sign of good opposition.

RedDevil@84 · Jan 12, 2015

We ll have all our best players back and then we will play a 3-5-2 with Rooney in defensive midfield and Wilson and Di Maria upfront.. I will say a 1-1 draw..

ThaReaper01 · Jan 12, 2015

10 on a Saturday? Magic

Win plz.

sullydnl · Jan 12, 2015

Would like to see something like:

DDG
Rafael - Smalling - Rojo - Shaw
Herrera - Carrick - Blind
Mata - Di Maria
Rooney

No chance of it actually happening though.

No way LvG will play 4 at back.. Defenders will rot on bench if needed, but even for 5 minutes we will not allow 4 at the back. Thats the philosphy...

tb82 · Jan 12, 2015

we have played four at the back this year. When was the last time we played four at the back? everton at home?

fallengt · Jan 12, 2015

3-5-2 all day baby.

It'll work better if Rooney's played as a striker and has strict instructions not to wander deep into the halfway line and feck everything up.

Are we going to have a poll for how long Shaw actually stays on the pitch.

RedDevil@84 · Jan 12, 2015

Is Shaw not fit enough to play 90 mins? Any news on that?

BootsyCollins · Jan 12, 2015

I think he is. That does not mean he will.
If, and i hope not, we are going to sub him and i want either Rojo in and Blind out as a LWB.
Or if we against alla odds go with four at the back, sub him for another midfielder and also push Blind to LB.

I dont understand how both Di Maria and Shaw needs "match rythm", as stated after the match, and therefor subbed, but Blind does not even not been playing for months.

Jacob · Jan 12, 2015

Just trust me on this van Gaal....

DDG
RAFAEL---------JONES--------ROJO--------SHAW
BLIND
HERRERA-----------------DI MARIA
ROONEY
VAN PERSIE-------FALCAO

Instructions:

Standard mentality, fluid formation

Play short passes
Use a higher tempo
Make use of overlaps
Run at defense
Play out of defense
Pass into space
Push higher up
Close down more often
Exploit the middle
Play wider

Blind did not have match rythm.. But LvG did not have many choices... Not my words.. LvG said so

Paul_Scholes18 · Jan 12, 2015

This is the type of games we have been most horrible in all season. With that say it has to end at some point although I would not bet against a draw which seem most likely. Hopefully we can have some luck like Southampton away and get the 3 point.

Laughed at the last one. Yes really horrible like we have 2 sides of the team and nothing connecting it. I thought Van Gaal could do that, but I start to think the only reason he has had sucess before is that he have been lucky to have super players. Barce, Bayern have all gotten much better after he was sacked. The Ajax one was good, but that is really the only really big thing. He was lucky to have super players like Seedorf and Van der Sar there too I guess even if I didn't follow back then.

If we play 352 again, I'll have a seizure.

Then we will probably play 4-1-2-1-2 in the game and score the winner.. Go back to 3-5-2 next game onwards

Chaky_Best · Jan 12, 2015

Bored with the 352, I hate this system. Back to a 4-1-4-1 when we had some good football this year, and created some chances. Back to a natural line up, balanced, with players playing in their own positions. To real full back, two wingers, Rooney up top, Fellaini and Herrera in 8. We’ll probably not contolling the game, the tempo with this formation, as neither Herrera and Fellaini are ball keepers but more players able to break lines with their runs, the same for Valencia/Rafa and Di Maria/Shaw. Even if I would be bad, I would bench Rooney, because of his poor performances of late
