West Ham v Manchester Red

FYIiiiite... Kick off iz 7.45 bydaway.. not 8 az it sez in OP
 
I'll be rooting for Manchester Red tonight. Go team!
 
Logically i think we might get beat 1-0 here.

So i'm going for a 1-3 United win.
 
We really do struggle away to West Ham so I won't be surprised if we dropped points tonight and even more so if Vidic doesn't play.

Not really if the stats on page two are correct. Two wanky loses two years in a row at xmas sandwiched between 4-5 wins.

Not the worst away record ever.
 
De Gea, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Jones, Kagawa, Rooney, Van Persie

Amazing team :devil:
 
Still don't quite know how Valencia gets yet another game though.
 
OFFICIAL MUFC XI:

de Gea

Rafael
Ferdinand
Vidic
Evra

Valencia
Carrick
Jones
Kagawa

Rooney
van Persie

SUBS: Amos, Evans, Cleverley, Nani, Giggs, Welbeck, Hernandez.
 
Bloody hell, Fergie is not messing around with that team. Still weird that Cleverley doesn't get a look in, but that front six looks fantastic. Come on United!
 
Jaaskelainen, Reid, Collins, Demel, O'Brien, Jarvis, Nolan, Diame, O'Neil, Vaz Te, Carroll

Good thing we've got Vidic playing to handle Donkey.
 
Love the team, but I'd still prefer it if Kagawa played behind RVP.. Hopefully Welbeck comes on for Jones, and then Rooney gets pushed back to CM.
 
Strong WH team. Big Sam is desperate to beat us, even risking Reid who's been out for long.
 
Very nice team, delighted with that.

Jones has done well in CM lately and will provide some height. Cleverly seems to be out of favor right now, so if he does come on, he'll hopefully want to prove something to Fergie.
 
Jones to do a man marking job on Andy bloody Carroll?

Don't like Valencia still being there, but he's not going to be dropped and I can accept that I guess.

Good team apart from that.
 
Jones ahead of Cleverley and Giggs?
 
Anyone know what's happened to Lindegaard? Wouldn't be surprised if he leaves in the summer, hasn't had a game in ages and I feel he missed out on the matchday squad a few times too. Weird.
 
I dont think Val has been that bad. He hasnt been at his best.. but he still stretches the game, creates space in the middle and does his bit defensively.. Can see why Fergie likes him.
 
Was obvious Jones would start, as I've said countless times, he's a massive key in our starting side now.

Baffled how Cleverley keeps getting left on the bench while Valencia constantly get's started despite being dire in almost every single game. Just sheer mental.
 
This will be probably(hopefully) come back to bite me in the arse but does anyone else think that Jones isn't good enough on the ball to be a central midfielder?

I can see the thinking in some games against teams who will dominate possession because he's excellent at shutting down space when the opposition have the ball and winning it back. However in games like todays I wouldn't mind someone with a bit more technical ability and creativity in there.

Depressing Cleverley can't get a look in ahead of him. He must be really shite in training these last few weeks.
