Manchester United Vs PSG - International Champions Cup (OP Updated)

[Chaky_Best]

I hate the 4-1-4-1.

No control of the ball and the "attackers" are too far from the danger zone. This is too flat in the midfield, with the wingers staying on their lines to stretch the defense. Neither Mata, too slow, or Young, guys it's Young, can be the creative force in this system. And note that Depay is not the kind of player who can link well the midfield and the attack. He's got penetration, speed and strength, but I'm still curious about his team play, his movement (usually very straight)

This is very Moyes in terms of creation. Two ball winning midfielders in Carrick and Schneiderlin, two wingers and two strikers in counter attack mode, but we’d like to play higher with an hybrid of counter attack and possession.

As my demonstration, the tactic is not clear.

We found a good way to fit our better players in this 4-1-4-1 last year, even Fellaini was top like this. Why still changing just to accommodate Depay ? Is he such a genius to build the team for him ? LVG amazes me with his tactics, really blur, I don’t really understand all these changes.

 

[ivaldo]

I hope to see a full XI change at some point again, that was a beautiful sight.

 

[Browniee]

Like to see Bastian and Herrera start in midfield together

 

[Adcuth]

If Di Maria plays then he's staying with us, if he doesn't he's off

 

[Mali_Zeus]

If Di Maria plays then he's staying with us, if he doesn't he's off

He must board the plane and come first.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Another easy win. 3-1 seems popular, so, again.

 

[Roosney]

LMAO at the OP.

 

[Rednotdead]

Nothing whatsoever wrong with the OP. What else does anyone need to know other than what will be our lineup and how will we approach the game?

 

[dannyrhinos89]

4-2

Depay hattrick and mata

For them ibra and cavani

 

[Godfather]

Still have no clue at what time this is going to be played in central europe. This OP is shambles.

 

[Glanville95]

I'd like to see this team given a shot if we're persisting with the 4-4-2/4-4-1-1:

de Gea
Darmian - Smalling - Jones - Shaw
Schneiderlin - Schweinsteiger
Mata - Pereira - Memphis
Rooney
​

In Smalling's case, I don't think van Gaal sees him as second choice. He's our third choice captain and has become a natural leader, so that's why he selects him in the youth team predominantly made up of youth players. Perhaps LVG rated Jones higher, but I can't believe for the sake of having a left-footed centre back he would opt for Blind over Smalling in a competitive game.

In Herrera's case, I think LVG regards him as a squad player who is more likely to flit in and out of the team opposed to being a mainstay in the team. There isn't much basis to my opinion on that, it's just a guess, but that's where I think both players stand.

We should mix up the midfield combinations and see what works best. The Sch's haven't played together yet, so that could be a recipe for success. Pereira has been a revelation on tour so I'd like to see him displace Young, who is reliable but has his limitations. I remain unconvinced on Memphis in the #10 role. That team could all potentially start against Spurs, although in Pereira's case it's less likely.

 

[worldinmotion66]

Reckon we'll start with the same line up again, and it won't be the same team that starts against Spurs. LVG holding his cards tight to his chest to keep the other managers guessing.

 

[Member 39557]

If AdM played yet nobody was there to see, who would he have played for..?

Shrodinger's Di Maria?

 

[Trizy]

So, if we win this game we win the competition? I can't see anymore fixtures past 4.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

So, if we win this game we win the competition? I can't see anymore fixtures past 4.

This will be our last game before the season starts.

 

[Amethyst]

So, if we win this game we win the competition? I can't see anymore fixtures past 4.

Yeah it's a mini league sort of competition. I think after Chelsea beat PSG on pens we might only need to draw and we win it. But DT is right this is definitely the last game.

 

[RikRuud]

Hoping Fellaini shows Zlatan how to elbow. 4-0 UTD.

 

[Lennon7]

I'd like to see this team given a shot if we're persisting with the 4-4-2/4-4-1-1:

de Gea
Darmian - Smalling - Jones - Shaw
Schneiderlin - Schweinsteiger
Mata - Pereira - Memphis
Rooney
​

​

That's 4-2-3-1?!

Also I don't think there's any chance Herrera will be a 'squad player'. He's excellent, and Van Gaal would be extremely daft to leave out one of our hardest workers.

It's a process

 

[Paul the Wolf]

Dislike PSG even more than Liverpool now, Let's trash them

 

[Big Ben Foster]

In case any of you are in the area, the MUFC USA Supporters Club is having an event with Dwight Yorke at 7 at Fado Irish Pub and then they're walking over to the Four Seasons at 9 to welcome the squad to Chicago.

 

[Rooney in Paris]

Dislike PSG even more than Liverpool now, Let's trash them

Now now

 

[spontaneus1]

What time will this be on at BST? I looked at the op but sure...

So Bastian and Herrera bombed out? If we were well in front OK with that 2nd half if we're level. We might get flattened. This is a power physically powerful team that Barcelona.

 

[Momochiru]

This for me:

[ChaddyP]

When's the press conference for this

 

[Sad Chris]

Shrodinger's Di Maria?

No, that'd be George Berkeley. Schroedinger would question whether AdM would be wearing a United kit or a PSG kit once we open the box we keep him captured in.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Just had a look at the OP, thinking it can't be that bad to be title-mentioned worthy.

Bloody hell. Kill it with fire.

 

[Organic Potatoes]

I'm down with OPP.

 

[Baxter]

The OP I have no idea when this is.

Is it in a few hours, or is it Wendensday night into Thursday morning?

 

[Snow]

Nothing whatsoever wrong with the OP. What else does anyone need to know other than what will be our lineup and how will we approach the game?

It lacks pizzazz.

 

[ChaddyP]

If you actually read the op instead of laughing at the fact that it has no pretty images you would know when it is

 

[Man of Steel]

If AdM played yet nobody was there to see, who would he have played for..?

Ask Schneidsteigers cat. It knows everything.

 

[Sad Chris]

Ask Schneidsteigers cat. It knows everything.

Geniusch!

 

[Man of Steel]

Geniusch!

Yesh I thinksh I amsh.

Shit, I shound more like Sean Connery after too much scotch. haha. moneypennysch

 

[Sweet Square]

Wednesday going into Thursday.

 

[Patchbeard]

I like how he edited the OP, yet still came up with that.

So this is 2am?

 

[Varun]

Blind vs Ibra will be funny if PSG try and exploit that but I doubt they will seeing as it's a friendly.
