I dunno about that team personally. If its a three then I'm not keen of Hernandez starting as he's not suited to any role in a three. I suppose in our standard formation it could work with welbeck wide but depends how effective he could be there. Hope nani is out as a precaution. Shame about rafael being dropped.

We all love United
Good team, we should win pretty comfortably. Where's Fabio anyway? Am hoping Swansea can take something today, City are without their first choice defensive partnership

Would you lot get over Rafael being dropped. Fergie's preferred Jones to him for the last month or so now. Shouldn't be a surprise.

It does look like an odd team in fairness. But with Nani and Valencia not fit it doesnt leave too many other options.

I think Welbeck will stay on the wing

We need Rafael at right-back in Spain on Thursday.

He's not the player that can easily play three matches in seven days, so I don't think that he's dropped or what.

He made a mistake, has time to think about it and 'recover' on Thursday.

Welbeck - wide left or right. He's played there a few times this season, from the start or coming off the bench..

To be fair Nani could be a Ferginjury. Keep him out of West Brom and Athletic, ready for the run in.

Doubt it, he was mentioned in the presser after the Athletic game as one who'd come back for today along with Scholes.

England:
Hopefully Nani absence is more precautionary than neccessary.

His form recently has been abysmal, so I'm not overly worried about him not playing today.

Wish we had Nani or Valencia. Welbeck on the wing isn't the best option but I guess it's definitely better than Park there.

Im guessing that english streams will not be knocking around today, I can only find foreign ones but if anyone does find an english river then I would appreciate it if you could hook a brother up, thanks

We went toe to toe in a 4-4-2 formation with West Brom away last year and were lucky to come away a 2-1 win, it could have been a 3-1 loss. Yes Carrick did play in that game and no he did not enable Barcelona-esque ball retention. In fact we were completely over run in midfield all game.

Pain isn't it?

You find a nice clear stream & then you realise they are talking foreignish...
