Since when did CL games go from ITV on a Wednesday to a Tuesday? Stupid bloody schedulers.
Manchester United vs. Galatasaray
- Thread starter The Taurean
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Nial Quin covering this for Sky?
I agree we took rotation too far in the CL last season, but I don't think that means SAF doesn't have some wiggle room to make adjustments. Though I expect at this point a tactical change is probably more likely than rotation for rest.
Now that I'm thinking about it more, I'm leaning towards wanting us to put out:
De Gea
Rafael Rio Vidic Evra
Scholes Carrick
Valencia Kagawa Nani
Van Persie
Rafael Rio Vidic Evra
Scholes Carrick
Valencia Kagawa Nani
Van Persie
With luck we get a 2-0 lead and can take Scholes and Rio off around the 68th minute.
Had a dream about it. 5-0. Would be great for the lads confidence after last year's fiasco. Was having a bad feeling about it at first. Mainly fearing SAF going for an experimental team.. Hope no fcking around this time
Nani could use some game time to get his confidence back.
3 games in a week might be too much for Rio and Scholes though.

we dont get the idiot here fortunately.
Think Evans needs a game too.
A few of my Gala supporting friends think a cricket score is a genuine possibility if young Semih starts at the back.
That sounds like a nice gesture, but the 'BREAKING NEWS' crap from Goal.com really is pathetic.
They only had Wednesday games for the last couple of years didn't they?
ITV always used to be Tuesday.
They swap each year I think.
I read Powell may play. That goal of his last week made me think of Bobby Charlton.
Will take any kind of performance tbh. We were worse in home CL matches last season than I can pretty much ever remember. No energy, no determination, must be said no atmosphere either.
Hoping missing out will have woken up the players.
I expect Anderson and Cleverley in the middle, which could be great or terrifying, depending on who has the ball!

Steady now.
Nothing wrong with what he said. It was a Bobby Charlton goal.
calm down.
Buttners goal reminded me of Messi, Maradonna and George Best.
No fannying about with the line up please. I want us to batter these twats.
It's already getting tasty in town! They have brought a firm over, fecking tonnes of them. Atmosphere should be good!
What time will they be letting the away fans into the ground? I might go round their end of the ground and see whats going down whilst they're outside. Last time I dad was when Roma were in town and that got a bit tasty.
Shinji will score!
United players have been at the ground since 2pm.
you are absolutely simple.That goal made me think of Bobby Charlton = I think Powell will be as good as Bobby Charlton.
6pm I think.
Let's hope meeting up FIVE hours before kick-off will have a positive impact on the team.
I want a reaction to last year's disaster.

Hope Nani starts
Buttner?
I'd prefer Evra.
Why so early?
Hopefully Sir Alex is drilling them to avoid complacency.
Can't wait. We may well see Rooney on the bench and come on for some minutes to get ready for the weekend
Didn't realise he was that close to a start.
Eboue was high yesterday on how he would make us eat grass, that he would score and make some dance, he would destroy Manchester United... If he's playing RB, I would only hope Fergie unleash Nani on him. Surely would shut him up.
Surprised so many are pairing Cleverley with Carrick, they're about as compatible as water and oil.
If Anderson is fit I'd pair him with Cleverley, Nani and Valencia on the wings, Kagawa playing off RvP. Simples.

Don't just want to see a standard 1-0 win tonight, I want this team to show some real desire and passion to set the record straight after last year.
The team ought to see the comments left by the Gala fans, as well as the pathetic death threats and photos of weapons. Should provide a firm incentive to shut them up.
