3-5-2 should be interesting.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

I think van Gaal probably wants to assess the first team through this match to see how they'd apply all that they learned during training in a match situation. Also, given the fact that it's a 3-5-2 formation, van Gaal wants to see if they can apply what they've learned to different formations just to see if how well they know the system and philosophy regardless of the formation.
It could easily be a 4-4-2 with Jones at RB though.
Formation could be a 4-3-3
In the group stages, where you need to win in regulation, they were pretty entertaining imo.
I think with the nature of the knockout portion of the competition, giving teams a way to win in extra time and with penalties, managers are less motivated to be aggressive.
Yeah, its channel 601 for me, Fox Sports 1 HD
Hope he's used as a back up rw or rb instead of starting xi
Like that lineup. Excited to see Herrera especially, but Shaw too. Herrera and Fletcher I think will suit each other though.
So it is 352, Oh well not a fan of that formation but I trust Van Gal on this one.
I called that the 3-5-2 formation would suit United with RVP, Rooney and Mata before the World Cup, so glad to see it today. Sure it won't be the only formation we use this season.
If this is the way we are going then we need another centre back and another left back.

Very exciting and that's very clear to me, we'll be using the 3-5-2 predominantly.
Decent looking team, seems van gaal is wanting to look at who his first team will be before throwing any kids into the mix. Formation will be interesting to see how it all works and whether our players can fit into the system.
Has anyone's stream from Chevrolet started up, yet? All I see is a black screen...
Stream is not working for Canadians?
Is the Chevrolet stream working for any of you?
We'd need two more centre-backs and a left-back. de Vrij, Vermaelen and Blind.
exactly, the result doesnt matter so why play less attacking as if you are playing a final against Barca?
This can still be 4 at the back. Smailing at rb, Shaw at lb, Valencia as rw
chevrolet stream is black screen?
True.
The Chevrolet stream will start in 30 minutes, when the actual game starts.
it could easily be reverted into a 442 or 4231... like the look of it tbh..
valencia as a right wing back could be fairly interesting..

Never mind, it's working now.
I know
I don't give a shit if I have to watch this match in giflord format, I'm staying up to welcome in the new era. I don't even bother with that shit on new year's eve!
Let's get cnuting and shit on the christmas tree!

No Kobe, it's a graphic now, but no action.
It's working finally
The Chevrolet stream probably won't begin 'til kick-off, just Google MUTV and watch their coverage.
Ladies and gents, stream has just started.
SQuadnumbs will be interesting.
Stream works fine in Canada so I'm assuming everywhere

We might be able to get a younger player to cover the 5th spot like Keane or revert to another formation if we are light on defenders.
Left back and another centre back would certainly be needed, though.
heeere weee goooo!
Somethings going down!
Maybe he thinks they need more practice with the 352 than with a 433. Maybe it's something he saw in training, who knows, I expect he has a good reason.

Surely he'd play Rafael at right back if we were playing a back four, though.
De Gea
Jones Smalling Evans Shaw
Valencia Fletcher Herrera Mata
Welbeck Rooney
