Wouldn't be surprised to see Rooney in midfield, none of our midfielders have been able to run a game yet.Any news on Mhlitaryan and whether he will be fit to play? Despite having a poor game against City I believe he can be one of our flair players this season. I would love him to be used as a number 10 in this game because I think he can give us that extra bit of creativity.Why didn't Blind travel if he's not going to play in this match? Pretty certain we'll have Smalling and Bailly at CB due to Watford having two big, strong frontmen.
What I'd like to see:
DDG
Valencia Bailly Smalling Shaw
Herrera Blind Pogba
Rashford Ibrahimovic Martial
Will probably see Rooney involved though. Fingers crossed it's on the left instead of Martial instead of at #10 where he's completely fecking useless.Last edited:Why is everyone dropping Blind all of a sudden? The back 5 should stay as they are as we've been solid with that lineup. Jose would be mad to change it. We also still have the Mata, Rooney, Fellaini conundrum.
Does Zlatan have a brother that I dont know about?
He's not starting anytime soon.We gonna lose this one...I am a bit pessimistic about this game, too. Watford are not so shite anymore.I think that we'll loose this one 2-0. Deeney and Ighalo will destroy us as Capoue and co will shine
12:00 kick off a Sunday, when the players went back to Manchester on Friday morning, only resting for half of the team, training on Saturday morning and then travelling the Saturday afternoon.
Difficult to prepare a tough away games like this. Hope that Mou will let this EL slip asap, as we don't have enough quality to compete here.

With the correct refereeing decision, we'd still be sitting here unbeaten this season!

I reckon we'll see that but Rooney for Herrera or even Pogba.How are Watford playing at the moment, 3-5-2? Capoue has been in great form, it's important we don't give him any space. Pereyra has been a great signing too.
Keeping Deeney and Ighalo quiet is always the main aim against them. I really hope we don't sit off and give them all the posession. We need to get hold of the ball and quiten the crowd.DDG

It makes no fecking difference who starts the match day thread.
Carry on Niall , excellent job you are doing.Pretty much a must win already. Can only see a draw at best the way we have played so far this season.
It wont be long.
Must be great to have this much confidence in your team !!!
If pro players cant play 2 matches in 4 days, then they are not fit enough.
Totally disagree about the EL we have more than enough quality to go thought, it is ONE defeat FFS.You are going to stroll past them. Sadly.DDG
Valencia
Baily
Blind
Shaw
Fellaini
Pogba
Rooney
Rashford
Zlatan
Martial
I think Depay will make the bench this time too.
Agreed! I've been kind of apathetic since the game, but it was the toughest game for us in the group stage. They fought hard in the 1. half, and Rashford was manhandled by some random dick of a CB. We should stroll past Feyenoord at home.Why such an early kickoff?
I was hoping with Europa we would have some late Sunday games
I really hate waking up at 7amCome on United, fecking win this with a 0-4 or a 0-5 and get some confidence back. It is painful to see United struggle since Fergie retired. We need to go on a winning run. This game should be done and dusted if United play to their talents. But don't know why it feels like a drab 0-1 result for United or a draw, cna't see United losing but you never know.Anything less than 3pts in this one and this place is gonna be a zoothink I'd like to see Carrick or Blind in the DM role - Rooney will be at 10 but given his tendency to drop deep our formation could be something like this....
Hope Pogba has a good game

New chant for Watford
(Charlie Puth - we don't talk anymore)
"We're not shite anymore
We're not shite anymore
We're not shite anymore
Like we used to be"
That's why he should start Smalling and Bailly for this. They'd bully Ighalo and Deeney. Revert back to the 4-2-3-1; it's worked well against the poorer sides.With Zlatan at the center, United needed good crosser of the ball so that he, Felliani and Pogba can use them with success. United should be playing the following line-up:
............................................De Gea....................................................
...............................Baily......................Smalling..................................
.......................................Schneiderlin..................................................
Valencia (crosser)....................................................................Blind (crosser)
..................Herrera................Pogba...............Felliani............................
............................Ibrahimovic..........Rashford........................................Need a good performance and result. Can't fall into the trap of doubting ourselves and thinking we are not good enough. Need a couple of flawless performances. Let's start with Watford away.
De GeaAn 0-2 or 1-3 would be nice.
Valencia Bailly Blind Shaw
Carrick
Lingard Rooney Pogba Martial
Ibrahimovic
I hope this is what we will see. Rooney is nailed on to start though.
Valencia Bailly Smalling Shaw
Carrick
Herrera Pogba
Rooney Zlatan MartialI'll go with a 1-1 on this one. Had this game been before the City and Feyenoord matches, I would definitely have had us as winners.I think he'll go back to the same team against Southampton/Hull. He might be feeling that it was his major changes that caused the disruption to our recent performances and results. So I wouldn't expect any major changes to our early lineups.
Only question is if he starts Smalling against their physical strikers or sticks with Blind.Jose losing 3 of his first 6 competitive games in charge? I'm one of his biggest critics but even I know it's a stretch to beleive he'll lose 3 on the bounce.
Our squad has more than enough quality to beat Watford. Sometimes I really doubt some of you are real United fans.
We played with half a new team.
Why are the team tired? They should be fresh and rearing to go!
Jose has already categorically stated that Rooney will never play in midfield.
Jose himself, acknowledged that Rooney is not good enough to play in midfield.
He'll play as No.10 and given how badly we played yesterday, I have to say that we need to have him in our.
I know many will disagree, but yesterday was arguably our worst performance of the season and it coincided with Ibra and Rooney both being left out.
The midfield also, was pretty weak yesterday, so if Fellaini is fit, he will 100% be in the starting line up. Herrera worked hard, Pogba will play (due to his transfer cost), so Morgan will probably be benched.De Gea
Darmian - Bailly - Blind - Shaw
Pogba - Fellaini
Lingard - Rooney - Rashford
Zlatan
Thought Darmian had a few good moments yesterday. I'd give him a shot this week cause I think Valencia picked up a knock. Rashford for Martial. Think Lingard will have a good game against these.
I think we'll win, but I can't remember the last match where we 'strolled past' a side.So much negativity here
Calm down, we'll smash them.
Umm...Is this your version of the reverse jinx thingy?- Status
