[Pogue Mahone]

can't work out what he has against us. He arrived with a record of bad injuries. Went to City and got the same treatment.

Bar that moan about his medical treatment at United (which he probably regrets, seeing as he fared no better at City) I don't see him as someone who dislikes United. He evidently disliked our football under Van Gaal and wasn't afraid of saying it but hey, he's among good company in this regard.

 

[Handré1990]

Damn! Forgot it was an early game, no lineup prediction today We should really win this without much ado

 

[buckooo1978]

The pitch at the moment. Not icy anymore, still looks dry and hard.

You would think the would bring in a load of heat lamps

Or patio heaters at the very least

Hopefully no injuries tonight

 

[Android1974]

What happened with Blind? Did he make some major mistake in order for Mourinho to stop considering even as an option for center-back?

If Bailly's going to start tonight, I guess he would be more at ease playing alongside Blind, but just the idea of having Rojo as left-back makes me shiver.

 

[whatwha]

Ok maybe I don't get it. I played football on terrible grounds my whole childhood. Only when I moved to Japan did a team I was in cancel a match because of pitch conditions. I still think it's often over the top.

Is this a First world vs third world thing?

Off topic but... Black Gaijin - are you a black dude living in Japan? How come you moved there? Don't often see people immigrate to Japan.

Despite United supporting him with all the best medical care, surgeons etc throughout his injuries, he seems to need someone to blame for all his injury problems so lays it at the door of Fergie and United. I wonder how much money United spent trying to get him fit and all he can do is say he wasn't looked after properly. He had injury problems before he came to OT I think, maybe that's the real reason Bayern let him go.

Romero

Young - Bailly - Rojo - Blind

Herrera - Pogba

Mata - Rooney - Mhiki

Zlatan

 

[Taxx]

Bit disappointed to see Young start over TFM.

 

[Damien]

Got the front four. Just Herrera, Bailly and Romero I got wrong. Figured Mourinho would prefer Young to start over Fosu-Mensah.

 

[Raw]

I'm worried about risking Bailly on this pitch.

 

[GifLord]

Does MUTV not use HD cams in Ukraine?

 

[The Man Himself]

I got Romero and Rojo wrong. Had DDG and Jones instead.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

8/11

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

I like the look of that team. I thought Bailly was ruled out?

 

[top1whoisman]

Only Romero wrong.

 

[Android1974]

Is Rojo ahead of Jones, or is it just that Mourinho prefers to feature a left footed center-back? I kind of recall Jones playing on the left in pre-season.

Really good looking side that Bailly, Herrera, Pogba, Mata and Mkhitaryan. Should be a good performance, though the pitch and weather looks like it'll cause problems. Hopefully it's all good

 

[Hugh Jass]

Romero is dodgy. Prone to huge howlers.

 

[Android1974]

How's the second line of attack going to display? Mkhitaryan or Rooney on the left? Mata behind Ibrahimović or on the right?

9/11

Who is leaking squad line ups 20 mins early?

Romero is dodgy. Prone to huge howlers.

He's played pretty well except his first few games. Made some good instinctive saves last time he played too.

 

[SwansonsTache]

That is a speedy recovery from Bailly, these Ukrainian brutes better not injure him.

 

[Anduin]

9/11

Who is leaking squad line ups 20 mins early?

It was early on the official UEFA website. It's usually 75-90 minutes before kick off in European games.

 

[Jippy]

Oh lord, we're going near full strength with Spurs on Sunday. I reckon at least one of these games will go wrong...

 

[Agila Dathi]

Is Rojo ahead of Jones, or is it just that Mourinho prefers to feature a left footed center-back? I kind of recall Jones playing on the left in pre-season.

It's probably because the pitch condition is terrible and Jones get's easily injured.

 

[SteveTheRed]

It's probably because the pitch condition is terrible and Jones get's easily injured.

It must be this, Jones is frail and is on a run of games atm...if he sets foot on that pitch he will do himself some damage!

 

[Paul the Wolf]

10/11 Had Jones instead of Rojo

 

[Infra-red]

Just in time to jet off for 4 weeks to ACON.

 

[Jippy]

Bailly is just coming back though!

 

[villain]

It was early on the official UEFA website. It's usually 75-90 minutes before kick off in European games.

Yeah I just realised this now

 

[Android1974]

It's probably because the pitch condition is terrible and Jones get's easily injured.

Yeah, but according to that logic, shouldn't Mourinho be protecting Bailly's knee ligament?

 

[whatwha]

How many injuries will we get tonight on this pitch? :/

 

[Android1974]

So, Rojo or Jones (moved to left center-back) against Tottenham?

 

[Drifter]

6/11. I'm having a bad season

 

[2 man midfield]

Surprised to see Bailly starting.

 

[Android1974]

Just in time to jet off for 4 weeks to ACON.

When is he going, January?

 

[SwansonsTache]

Hope we can get 2-3 goals fairly quick and rest the most important ones for Spuds.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Which channel is game on? BT?

 

[Pexbo]

Romero is dodgy. Prone to huge howlers.

He really isn't. He's been excellent for us. He made a couple of risky decisions in his first couple of games for us when obviously nervous but I don't remember them being punished.
