Feck me. An 8.45 kick off. great stuff.

 

[LuisNaniencia]

Could be. Never thought if that.

Yeah just checked we are 4/5 with no offers. Good deal for anyone who's not a member on betfair though.

Are there any pubs/bars that show English football in Japan?

How do you watch the games?

 

[jimmyb2000]

That's embarrassing.

2 away wins in the League in about 6 months?

Disgraceful

Since beating Everton 3.0 at goodison on Oct 17th, we have won 3 away games in the league. Each win was by 1 goal.

If we can snatch a win today that will give us 4 away wins in the last 7 months.

 

[Stretford End Phil]

Stupid time for a kick-off, another pathetic press showing with a sulking LVG, MF slapped for 3 games, and struggling to get 4th - so not much change. We need goals and against one of the teams to have beaten us this season, so I have gone for 0-1 but not greatly encouraged, because as LVG has said - my expectations are far too high.

Does anyone else have trouble thinking like a mid table club after we spend £250m and OT announces the season target Is about coming at least 4th? All a bit too double-Dutch for my liking.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Gone with this:

Predicted Starting XI

• 
  David de Gea
• 
  Marcos Rojo
• 
  Chris Smalling
• 
  Daley Blind
• 
  Juan Mata
• 
  Michael Carrick
• 
  Antonio Valencia
• 
  Jesse Lingard
• 
  Anthony Martial
• 
  Wayne Rooney
• 
  Marcus Rashford

 

[Cooksen]

We should be winning this 3-0

I do hope that Herrera starts and can dominate the game.

Rashford, Martial x2 to be the goal scorers

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Though I suspect Schneiderlin might make in at the expense of Mata or Lingard.

 

[Mr Smith]

Enthusiasm for this game is palpable...

I fancy us for this one, Norwich's form is shocking, they're almost a certainty to go down. 2-0 United.

All about the early goal. We can struggle against these kinds of teams if we fail to break them down early.

 

[Burrow]

Hope TFM replaces Fellaini in midfield

 

[sunama]

Well Betfair dont give us much chance. They are offering odds of 10/1 for a United win.

I've gone for 1-1.

 

[sunama]

Feck me. An 8.45 kick off. great stuff.

I've just realised, that its an early kick off.
Its amazing how we rarely play with any other teams (ie. Saturday 3PM).

Does anyone else have trouble thinking like a mid table club after we spend £250m and OT announces the season target Is about coming at least 4th? All a bit too double-Dutch for my liking.

Mate, this 4th place trophy is doing my head in.
I can't understand why any team with the resources of MUFC would hope to claim 4th place.
Is there some secret World league being created, which allows entry for any team finishing in 4th spot? And this league will donate £500M to each of these (4th place) clubs?

For MUFC, 4th place is a disaster!

 

[Cooksen]

9:45 kickoff down under feels very weird and quite early.

But not gonna complain.

 

[Reddevilboy]

I'm one of the 10% who voted a 1-1 draw. This team is just incapable of winning when we absolutely need to.

 

[marukomu]

Are there any pubs/bars that show English football in Japan?

How do you watch the games?

Nothing local. They would probably only show Leicester anyway.
I have to watch streams.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

We have a decent chance if we don't play Rojo.

As always, worried about the second half when Carrick's legs go to shit, Rooney's passing gets sloppy.

Need to be up in the first half or we're fecked.

 

[Irrational.]

This defeat still burns. A team containing a prime Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes, Heinze a green Rooney and Ronaldo and we still somehow lost. They defended like beavers and hit us clinically on the break twice, definitively ending our ailing title challenge.

Hope we batter them today.

Can't see Rojo not playing - he is a favourite of LVG

 

[unchanged_lineup]

Fair play Hartlepool fans

 

[Mr Smith]

All about the early goal. We can struggle against these kinds of teams if we fail to break them down early.

Agreed. But we've started well in the last few games so I'm optimistic. And I get the impression that Norwich's spirit is broken a bit; they rolled over against Arsenal last week.

 

[Keenst]

Feck me. An 8.45 kick off. great stuff.

Love it when this happens.

 

[marukomu]

Remember, this is us.
BTW, I used to love your TV show in the 80's.

 

[Randall Flagg]

No rash or blind

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Rojo at CB.

 

[cj_sparky]

Fair play Hartlepool fans

Craig Hignett joked that he'd wear the same on the touchline

 

[Cooksen]

 

[Amethyst]

Blind not playing.

Edit: And Rashford.

 

[charlenefan]

2 of our best players this season out completely

 

[Raw]

No Blind?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

REDS MAKE THREE CHANGES
United: De Gea; Valencia, Smalling, Rojo, Darmian; Carrick, Rooney; Mata, Lingard, Memphis; Martial. Subs: Romero, McNair, Borthwick-Jackson, Fosu-Mensah, Schneiderlin, Herrera, Januzaj.

 

[Cooksen]

Blind not playing.

He does need a rest IMO

 

[DomesticTadpole]

No Blind?

Just realised that. Damn.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Are blind and rashford injured?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

No Rashford either?

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

LVG did hint at rotation - FA Cup the priority for him now

 

[Raw]

Are blind and rashford injured?

LVG mentioned he wanted to do a bit of rotating, didn't think he'd go as far as resting Blind.

 

[Truedevil]

Are blind and rashford injured?

Resterd. We have a tough match against WHU on Tuesday or Wednesday and then another match on the weekends.

 

[Scarecrow]

That's not that bad. Hopefully Carrick has a good day, as it seems he'd be the only one in that team that could bring it out from the back.

 

[LuisNaniencia]

Or west ham Tuesday?
