[Scholesy]

Wow, no Carrick or Schneirdin, Mourinho much more attacking that I thought

 

[Freak]

Not sure why mata is being played on the right when Jose mentioned that he only likes specialists.

 

[Moby]

That looks a bit of a lightweight midfield, defensively. Should be okay today, I guess. Clean sheet and a couple of goals, hopefully.

 

[bubbles_]

LVG, is that you?

 

[Mr.Kaya]

Fellaini instead of Carrick/Schneiderlin, that's a big suprise for me. Same with seeing Micki on the bench.

 

[Sammyjunn]

Fellaini, Herrera, Rooney, outright terrible.

 

[carlosp]

 

[SkeppyRed]

Looks like Rooney is keeping Mykcky out of the side as opposed to Lingard, who is replaced by Mata.

 

[Android1974]

No Miki? Weird, what's going on there?

Simple. The player is not adapted yet.

 

[Moby]

That looks a bit of a lightweight midfield, defensively. Should be okay today, I guess. Clean sheet and a couple of goals, hopefully.

 

[Kevin]

Must be to do with fitness. Mkhi is a player he chose to sign and I doubt he came here to be a reserve.

 

[Godfather]

Expected Mkhitaryan to play. Good to see Herrera starting though.

 

[marukomu]

You've turned into a right old pessimist. What the feck has happened?

Last season?

and the two before.

 

[3KDré]

That is terrible.

 

[Water Melon]

Micki is not starting. Mata's on the wing?

 

[VivaObertan]

No idea how we're lining up.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Where the feck is Mkhitaryan?

Looks like Jose doesn't fancy him

 

[Telegram Sam]

Big chance for Mata to stake a claim today, hopefully he impresses.

Strange how Mkhitaryan isn't getting much of a look in, mind.

 

[lysglimt]

He'll come on with 20 mins left

He will be subbed for Mata after 14 minutes...with Mata not showing any indication of injuries

 

[Sammyjunn]

Louis van Gaaal in disguise.

 

[Moby]

That looks a bit of a lightweight midfield, defensively. Should be okay today, I guess. Clean sheet and a couple of goals, hopefully.

 

[parisite]

Strange side, hope he knows what he's doing the José.

 

[Carlsen19]

I want to see Mkhi ffs

 

[Swaters16]

Anyone have any totally legit way of watching this, wink wink nudge nudge

 

[DWelbz19]

#FreeMiki

 

[Freak]

No Mikhi, not going to do any wonders for this confidence.

No Mkhitaryan again is a bit of a piss take.

Think Jose is clearly easing him into this league. I'd expect he'd come on in the second half to get a feel of the premier league.

 

[Dumbat12]

Lineup

Don't know how I feel about this. I hope this isn't our default starting line-up.

 

[ha_rooney]

That sky montage

Rooney better turn up. Useless cnut has been shit too long.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Jose really doesn't fancy Schneiderlin?

 

[Rado_N]

Well that's....... Interesting I guess.

 

[AgentP]

This line-up just boggles my mind. No defensive minded midfielder and Mata on the wing. But Rooney somehow manages to hold onto his place.

 

[JinnerJamie]

Mata

José loves him really

 

[DWelbz19]

Where is Phil Jones? Injured again?

 

[ZDwyr]

No Carrick and Mata starting the biggest shocks.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Rio seems to have sobered down a fair bit. Poor guy

 

[SwansonsTache]

Hmm, glad I missed the lineup prediction since I would have been murdered with that lineup. Very unexpected.

 

[Leftback99]

Think we'll lose this in midfield without Carrick. We also need to buy a right winger if Mkhitaryan isn't going to play there.

 

[horsechoker]

That line-up has me very pessimistic, what are you doing Jose?

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

Rooney or Mata RW?

 

[Witchking]

I don't think the football is going to improve, the pessimism in me is taking over. What the feck is felliani starting for? No Mikhi is sad to see, he is a player Jose brought in and has had time bedding in. Fitness cannot be an answer.

Disappointing to see Rooney start again, and Mata on the right. LvG reign is back.

 

[Richter]

Mikhi not allowed?
