Queens Park Rangers 0:2 Manchester United

Offside · Jan 16, 2015

De Gea, Rafael, Smalling, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Herrera, Di Maria, Mata, Rooney, Falcao. 1-3.

RoyoftheRavers · Jan 17, 2015

Very nervous about this. I genuinely have no idea what Van Gaal's game plan will be, although presumably it will be possession-driven.

QPR have the worst away record of any top flight side in the last 50 years - it's their home form that's keeping them in touch. I'll go for 1-2. Austin to score from the penalty spot after one of our lads clumsily bundles over one of their lads in the box. Rooney and Di Maria to save the day as a result of individual brilliance rather than clever team tactics.

I think you phrased that wrong buddy, "it's 17% likely, it won't"

Eric'sCollar · Jan 17, 2015

If it's 3 at the back and we don't take 3 points, I will be concerned about the top 4 finish.

I have been confident all throughout the season but if we stick with it and lose, I think van Gaal has dug himself a huge hole.

Mata, our most inform player, doesn't deserve to be dropped for our most out of form player in Januzaj.

I think it brings better balance to the team. If we're starting with onle Falcao, I'd want Rooney in there over Mata. Januzaj, in that formation, would be a better fit and help stretch the game more imo

Ramshock · Jan 17, 2015

I really hope we win, if only to shut the feckin emos up for another week. The drama queens were sickening after Southampton game

So true. Those first two days were torture on here, couldn't get a post in.

It was completely inexplicable that they shut us out.

This is a team that has only had 11 clean sheets in 21 games this season and conceded 15 goals which puts them as a paltry first in the goals conceded table. Imagine having difficulty breaking down that wet tissue paper defence.

Can't wait for another 3-5-2 and all the debates following it on the caf

just unleash Falcao.....

He's great, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't drop Carrick right now. We could use Herrera's vision and Fellaini's height and physicality. Can't see whom Blind would come on for.

Maybe as a sub if Carrick isn't pulling his.

Some of the reaction was as if we had been battered by a team in the bottom 3.

I think you would need to shut us down for a cooling down period if QPR beat us. :lol:

Im concerned about the arrows. What if di maria needs to turn right?

What if shaw needs to track back to defend?

QPR will be pleased to know some of our players can only go in one direction. Bloody LVG, hope he knows what he is doing

Anduin · Jan 17, 2015

Play Rooney as a striker. Play di Maria in a midfield three. Play four at the back. Win.

I think LVG will go with this:

De Gea
Jones - Smalling - Rojo
Valencia - Carrick - Blind - Shaw
Mata
Rooney - Di Maria

Which obviously won't work.

Fair enough, I suppose Carrick's range of passing against teams that are likely to play compact is a bigger asset, whereas Blinds ability to find space and retain possession in tight spaces is a bigger asset against pressing teams, horses for courses.

First time seeing a game! I'll be sitting right behind the goal..... with QPR fans :nervous:

ha_rooney · Jan 17, 2015

I've waited all season for us to start a line-up without RVP with Rooney-Falcao up front and Di Maria, Herrera, Mata & Carrick/Blind in a diamond midfield. I hope we get to see this today, instead of that 3-5-2 nonsense.

Too bad its with the QPR fans, but enjoy mate!

othersna · Jan 17, 2015

No 352 please, they're a shit side and we should try to establish a more attacking minded lineup.

DDG
Rafael - Jones - Rojo - Shaw
Blind
Herrera ---- DiMaria
Mata
Rooney - Falcao

We're gonna destroy this shower of shite. 0-3 Falcao x2, Di Maria x1

Agreed. I still look forward to games and can't wait till we play but I've long given up hope that we'll play exciting football now while we play 3-5-2

I can see the mental football forum posts having a good bump today regardless of score.

buckooo1978 · Jan 17, 2015

our approach will decide the game...

if it is a cautious 3-5-2 then this will give QPR a lift and make us more vunerable

just attack these chumps

XdanielredX · Jan 17, 2015

ME: I just wanna go back to 4 at the back :annoyed:

LVG:

Jaxa · Jan 17, 2015

Absolute must win game, no excuses and definitely do draw, if we deserve to finish top 4 we have to win this game

I don't care how hard it is to play at lotus rd Qpr are dross and with the players we have we should be winning these with decent ease.

Getsme · Jan 17, 2015

I really want Herrera to start, not holding out much hope though.

dannyrhinos89 · Jan 17, 2015

I don't think we will win this unless he changes tactics

No 3 cb's against qpr
Play Rooney up front
Play di Maria in cm
Play Herrera

Then we will get a result I think of we line up the exact same way we have then we will draw or lose
