Manchester United v West Bromwich Albion

Eyepopper · Mar 10, 2012

Doubt theyll be showing it either. It's either a shit stream or try make it to 10pm without hearing the score.

It's shite, haven't seen so few games in donkeys years.

Jaap · Mar 10, 2012

Definitely need three points and if we are doing well, some goals wouldn't be too shabby either.

I fecking hate the Europa league.

I'd like Chicharito instead of Welbeck from the start as this should really be a game where we create a decent amount of chances and I'd prefer Hernandez to be on the end of those chances as he's more clinical.

So I'd like:

De Gea
Rafael---Evans---Rio---Evra
Nani---Carrick---Scholes---Young
---Rooney
Chicharito

But in reality I think Welbeck will start as has usually been the case this season (same with Jones likely in place of Rafael). It'll be interesting to see if Berbatov is involved in anyway as his continuing absence from the bench has been noticeable.

Sean_RedDevil · Mar 10, 2012

Sean's team
Starting XI

Bench: Amos, Fabio, Jones, Cleverley, Giggs, Berbatov, Chicharito
Not in the squad: Park, Pogba, Fryers, W.Keane
Out: Vidic, Fletcher, Valencia, Anderson, Owen, Smalling, Lindegaard

Some words to the team-selection
- I give Rafael another chance although he has pissed me off against Bilbao, but i expect now a fantastic performance from him tomorrow.

That's almost exactly the WBA team I was expecting. The only difference in my mind was that I think Brunt is back to full fitness now, so he might play.

Don't they have to share the matches they show around between teams, to some extent? United wasn't a match chosen for TV, it was a Saturday kick off (I believe) and it was only moved to Sunday because of the Europa League, so nothing's changed really, but the day.

surf · Mar 11, 2012

Wonder if Giggs might get on as a sub and break Maldini's record?

032Devil · Mar 11, 2012

Is the game on tv? Its not listed on Skysports or ESPN.

devilish · Mar 11, 2012

Im in England at the moment. Which channel is going to give the game life? thanks in advance.

Pretty sure it's not on TV, you'll have to find a stream sadly. Same for the City game.

Carl · Mar 11, 2012

Aye, this isn't on TV in the UK.

It was suppose to be a 3pm Sat kick off but was moved because of the Europa League.

This is ridiculous. If I was in my country Ill be watching the game live without any hassle. In Italy Ill be seeing it in a pub. In England I can't watch the damn game.

Drap rafael for this one, cnut was completely asleep for the third goal the other night. Im thinking with a strong line up it will be Manchester United 4-0 West brom with citeh losing to swansea to send us to the top of the table

I'm guessing you mean drop. :rolleyes:

Rafael fell asleep for a few key seconds, but overall he had a really good match, Jones was less than impressive all evening.

I'd rather play Rafael at RB, he's the much better player in that position, rather than punish him & the team (let's face it) for that stupid error.

Yes I mean drop

Rafael fell asleep and cost us what could be a crucial goal. Bench him, maybe the fecker will stay awake in future then.

If you put him on the bench he might have a kip anyway!

If Smalling is fit, I'd rather play him than Jones, but I still think Rafael is the better choice due to his linkup play with Nani. Jones & Nani don't appear to play well together.

iSparky · Mar 11, 2012

But I like to see Jones attacking the space, he is very good at it.

Don't we have Anderson for that?

I'd be greatly relieved to see any lineup involving Berbatov. This would bring me hope that SAF hasn't completely lost his mind.

rcoobc · Mar 11, 2012

Why is Young on the right in that likely line-up.

Alright, but I'd still prefer Rafael ahead of Jones.

Solius · Mar 11, 2012

I spoke to Anderson in my dream, shortly after I had released my pet Tiger into the wild. He told me he's out for a few weeks.

Amar__ · Mar 11, 2012

If one poor game means we should drop rafael or any other player, I wonder if evra will play till the end of season anymore.

Donut · Mar 11, 2012

I think Fergie will play Rafael and give him an opportunity to forget about that mistake. He did the same with Evans after the City game.

Varun · Mar 11, 2012

Rafael should definitely start imo.

pocco · Mar 11, 2012

Course Rafael should start, hes our best right back. If you think he needs telling he fecked up the other day then you need to play more footy. You just move on from things like that.

rcoobc · Mar 11, 2012

Definitely on Rafael. Hopefully.

gooDevil · Mar 11, 2012

So, where is the mecca of line-up postings, where do they show up first, the premiere league's website?

I'd be happy to look it up at a time like this if I knew the best place.

Sunny Jim · Mar 11, 2012

I have a feeling Swansea will up-set City. United top of the league be the end of the day
