Had a retard moment when I made this thread. Anyway, to move on from today's happenings...

 

[Antisocial]

De Gea
Rafae... ahh feck it what's the point? ​

 

[thegregster]

Game isnt on tv in the UK/Ireland.

[Mad Winger]

The return of Solskjær

I don't care about the lineup, as long as the follwing play: DDG, Smalling, Rafael, Januzaj, Kagawa, Mata.

 

[prateik]

We need our strikers back.. the backup isn't good enough to be leading the line. Saw that today. We can't go into a game leaving a third of the pitch uncontested for large parts of it.

 

[100]

What a terrible start for Solskjaer.

This is great timing if we sign Mata, otherwise it's awful.

 

[charlenefan]

Chances of having Rooney, RVP and Mata all available?

 

[Rozay]

Rooney, Persie, Mata and Vidal to all come in.

 

[Twigg]

Chances of having Rooney, RVP and Mata all available?

That'd be something, right? Not only would we play better football in general, but the lift it would give the team to have these three back on the pitch all at once would be amazing.

 

[charlenefan]

Assuming no one is fit and no one has signed

Team should be...

GK: De Gea

RB: Rafael
CB: Smalling
CB: Evans
LB: Evra

RM: Valencia
CM: Jones
CM: Giggs
LM: Young

CF: Kagawa
CF: Hernandez

Subs: Lindegaard, Lingard Buttner, Fletcher, Cleverley, Januzaj, Welbeck

Jesus what a depressing XI

 

[Gerald G]

De Gea
Rafael--Smalling--Evans--Evra
Fletcher--Jones
Mata--Rooney--Januzaj

Is Carrick injured? I missed most of the Sunderland game.

 

[charlenefan]

Yup went off injured

 

[prateik]

Yup went off injured

Hopefully just a twisted ankle and nothing serious.

Any news on Fellani?

 

[bosnian_red]

Best realistic case scenario:

De Gea
Rafael Smalling Evans Evra
Fletcher Jones
Mata Rooney Kagawa
Van Persie​

6-0 scoreline, Mata with 4 assists, Rooney 2 goals, Van Persie 2 goals, mata and Kagawa with 1 each. Rest Januzaj, the poor kid is knackered and is in danger of being burnt out.

Worst case scenario:

De Gea
Rafael Smalling Evans Evra
Valencia Fletcher Jones Young
Januzaj
Welbeck
​

The difference between the two teams is staggering yet both are very possible

​

 

[Twigg]

Yup went off injured

Ah right. What about Cleverley and Fellaini, are they injured?

 

[Rowem]

I really hope Mata and Rooney are in/back for this one.

Now this i would love to see.

 

[2 man midfield]

Ole to revert to instinct and run on the pitch if we're down a goal heading into the final 10?

 

[a_devil_inside]

We need to show some 'fire and passion' like in the Cardiff badge.
Hopefully at least one of the strikers are back as well as Mata playing his first game

 

[Sixpence]

If we lose this one he has to be sacked. Hopefully Mata will give us a lift and get us over the winning line but he's only one man. We need either Rooney or RVP back to start winning games again.

 

[iSparky]

DDG

Rafa
Jones
Evans
Evra

Fletcher
Janujaz
Mata
Rooney
Kagawa

Welbeck

You can't sack Mata because of one game.

De Gea
Rafael Smalling Evans Evra
Fletcher Jones
Mata Rooney Kagawa
Van Persie​

OMG OMG OMG! That front four is cum-worthy!

 

[Ramshock]

Does Rafael deserve to play at the minute? He has been piss poor and looks like he has a chip on his shoulder.

BTW Don't be surprised if Mata doesnt start. I just hope fatman and robin are back

He'll play through the bad form, it's not like he's the worst player at the moment. If we had adequate back up then maybe you could say we can play somebody else but as it is, I'm happy to see Rafael always play. I feel like at the moment it's the rest of the team affecting him more then anything. It should change with our best players coming back.

 

[rednev]

First time in a long time that the Manchester United manager will only be the second most popular manager in the dugouts among the home crowd at Old Trafford.

 

[Sandikan]

do we really think VP will be back? He seems to be as much mentally as physically injured!

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

I'll be honest, I don't think I can wait a week to see our Juan play

 

[DomesticTadpole]

do we really think VP will be back? He seems to be as much mentally as physically injured!

If we sign Mata that might get him over his injury.

 

[SteveJ]

Cardiff's badge is f'ing pathetic, and also crap. Does their clown of an owner think that all Welsh people are now going to support Cardiff just because there's a bloody dragon on their badge? Strewth...

 

[Kag]

I'd like to see:

De Gea
Rafael Smalling Evans Evra
Fletcher Cleverley
Januzaj Mata Kagawa
Rooney

This is provided Carrick and Van Persie are still out.

 

[Nick 0208 Ldn]

The Bolton match should be interesting, do we see Ole resting players for our match or signs of improvement and his ideas taking effect at Cardiff?

Unlike Sunderland they do have an end product if you provide them with enough opportunities,factor in at least one goal for them and then the possible unknown of our response.

 

[Sean_RedDevil]

Carrick is out for at least two weeks according to Mark Ogden.

 

[Nick 0208 Ldn]

^ Something Ole will look to target you'd think, pile the pressure on Cleverley-Fletcher and see how they hold up.
