So Micheal Keane at right back or Vermijl?
Keane, hopefully.
I can't see Vermijl making it here.

I don't know, I like Vermijl, he's a consistent performer.
Tonight's referee is Anthony Taylor...from Wythenshawe (distance to Old Trafford approx six miles).
That doesn't seem right.
That doesn't seem right.
All United fans aren't from Manchester though. Rememeber.
I think that's his problem. He's so damn steady, whether we are winning or losing he just seems to play the same. Fans like players with personality.
I like him as a player, sure he needs to develop a lot to be a United player but thats the same for all our youngsters.
He must be a City fan then, that's not fecking fair.
De Gea, Vermijl, M Keane, Wootton, Buttner, Fletcher, Cleverley, Anderson, Rooney, Welbeck, Chicharito
4-4-2 with Welbeck on left, or 4-3-3 with Chicha playing as main striker?
What do you think guys?

I like it. How fitting that we go out and play like Keegan's Newcastle side vs. them.
Shite defence, unreal attack. 8-7 I reckon.

Fletcher!!!
Exciting line-up!
Kids in defence, crocks in midfield, big boys upfront.
If ever a sentence summed up our starting eleven...
Welbeck on the left, Fletcher on the right would be my guess.
Where's my Bebe?
Fletch is the captain, so delighted for him.
bench and newcastle lineup?
If its 4-4-2, Anderson does the running on the wing instead of Fletch.
Guess it'll be 4-3-3 with Welbeck and Rooney dropping wide if/when needed.

The line-ups you all predicted look feck all like that one.
#MUFC subs: Johnstone, Evans, Powell, Tunnicliffe, King, Lingard, Brady
Great chance for Vermijl, hope he takes it!
Yeah hes done well of late. Looks a full back as well. Too soon to write off anyway imo...
I was pretty close. I had Lindegaard, I had Evans for Vermijl, and King for Rooney.
Oooh that bench.
I want to see them all get minutes.
edit: except Evans..

#NUFC. Elliot, Perch, Coloccini, Williamson, Tavernier, Obertan, Tiote, Gosling, Marveaux, Vuckic, Sh. Ameobi
No Henriquez. 
Ouch, Bebe not on the bench.
I can't see Newcastle scoring even against our reserve defenders. We'll win 2-0 comfortably
We need to fear Ameobi like.
League Cup is shit anyway.
is Macheda injured?
Probably not that bad a defense. But a great attack struggles to express its best qualities when it's not backed up by a good defense and a good general balance.
Similar to us playing in the cup with 4 fringe strikers in a non-balanced team only to hear people slag them off after playing out of position for not setting the world alight.
Having said that, the only doubts tonight are our center backs and balance. With Fletcher in the side they'll get cover and hopefully Hernandez can link up to a decent effect...oh and match fitness
No he was on the bus with the squad.
If Keane is at right back, where would Vermijl be, right wing?
I'm sure Vermijl is at right back.
I remain unconvinced, but good luck to him, and the two CBs. Exciting team overall.
No. Well, we don't know. He won't make it here anyway, so...
Don't think so. I imagine it was a straight choice between him, King and possibly Henriquez for the bench. King has been working very hard and playing well recently.
