Game will be on at 5:30 AM here in KSA! Hell i don't get up that early for Uni but it's the summer.
I'll probably just keep belting out "Ryan Giggs' red army" or somethingRicky Martin - Livin La Vida Loca, the verses aren't up to much but the chorus is a belter.
Not for a couple of hours i guess.When will the line-ups be announced?
Apart from the fact we have no midfielders and this formation requires 3 of them to start.
Pm'dAnyone know of a river that I may be able to enjoy through my iPad?
Not a fan of the 352 idea. Doesn't suit our defenders, and makes us too narrow. Hopefully he's just guessing.
Of course, if we play good football I won't really mind what formation it's in. I just think we'd play better football in a 4231.
I'd be very glad to see different formations being tested out early on. Feel like we've shoehorned players into our 442/4411 in the past. How many times have we moaned about the lack of control from midfield? Until we get more talented players in the middle, I think it's a good idea to see more bodies in there and let our best attacking talents express themselves rather than always relying on one-trick ponies.Not a fan of the 352 idea.

I remember when he was put in charge of the Dutch national team after the Euro 2012 disaster. He came in, had a plan and used the friendly against Belgium to see who was up for his way of play. Get an idea of the players and who was a best fit for his philosophy.What do we take from this game? Win or lose, will we know what direction will LVG be steering towards with this team? Or is it too early?

If we lose...thanks Obama!It's going to be one helluva a traffic jam tonight with the game going on and Obama jetting into LA tonight.
Why wouldn't it suit our defenders? It also allows van Gaal to start Cleverley, Fletcher and Herrera, giving him a chance to assess all three.Not a fan of the 352 idea. Doesn't suit our defenders, and makes us too narrow. Hopefully he's just guessing.

I don't mind us trying it out in pre-season, I just meant that I'm not keen on it as a standard formation for us.Why wouldn't it suit our defenders? It also allows van Gaal to start Cleverley, Fletcher and Herrera, giving him a chance to assess all three.
Sleep then get up!To stay up or not to stay up...
I thought about doing that, but I probably won't wake up.Sleep then get up!
I reckon Rafael would make a decent wing back tbh. We probably will use 4 at the back during the season though, yeah.I don't mind us trying it out in pre-season, I just meant that I'm not keen on it as a standard formation for us.
It doesn't suit our defenders because our full-backs are both good at defending, Shaw particularly, and thus wasted as wingbacks. And people are saying that we don't have enough CBs to sustain a pair at the back all season, let alone a trio. That would require all our current senior CBs to play every game.
Yeah same, on both points. I guess I could just download the game later in the day but I don't want to risk finding out the score beforehand.I think I'm gonna try and stay awake now. I'm shit at waking up early, and I really don't wanna miss this game.
I'm just going to watch it on VOD later in the day. I'm not bothered about the score, I just want to see if all that head down and smash it or long ball approach has gone.I thought about doing that, but I probably won't wake up.
4:06, it is written in the top right cornercan anyone tell me exactly if the game is going to be played at 4:06 or 3:30..
I don't think Van Gaal has had long enough to instill his philosophy yet, i hope i'm wrong though!.I'm just going to watch it on VOD later in the day. I'm not bothered about the score, I just want to see if all that head down and smash it or long ball approach has gone.
