Manchester United 0:0 West Ham United

Looks a 4-2-3-1. No Memphis? Fellaini as a 10? Going to be a long game I think...

There's a Twitter account that's been revealing the team about an hour before the official account.

Ah, wasn't aware of that. Quite fecked up.

To be fair to Fellaini, he hasn't done a lot wrong when he's been involved.

But if he's at striker and Martial is pushed out wide then that is idiotic from Louis.

He's been wank this season, but last season he had plenty of good games and i hope today he could rediscover that form.

Varun · Dec 5, 2015

Surely a 4-2-3-1? Can't see him picking Fellaini as the striker over Memphis.

harms · Dec 5, 2015

Fellaini

drdoityourself · Dec 5, 2015

Feck me, with Rooney out it's a perfect opportunity to play Memphis and Martial up together. Fellaini is not the way.

Martial has been better out wide IMO.

Yeah, fair point. I just hope Fellaini doesn't become too much of the focal point for the attack.

Will get a good idea in the first 5-10 min.

Flipping heck, I've only got 8 right. Next to no choices and I still make a mess of it.

You and me both. :lol:

Good god. Fellaini and McNair

kps88 · Dec 5, 2015

Wouldn't mind seeing Fellaini up top in a 3-5-2. Pace is useless against teams that sit deep with 10 behind the ball.

Catt · Dec 5, 2015

So the thinking is we're playing 352?

Riz · Dec 5, 2015

I'm not being funny but how do some of you even think it could be 352, gunna play Mata at RWB are we?

Gasolin · Dec 5, 2015

Good to see City losing right now... excellent news actually. A win would be perfect.

Godfather · Dec 5, 2015

Going to be one hell of a 0-0

Lindgard and Darmian as the wing backs.

Walters_19_MuFc · Dec 5, 2015

Fellaini had a fantastic game the other day, despite it being for the u21s. Hoping he can carry that form into todays game.

Apart from playing Young at fullback there were no other options if we want to play four at the back with Rojo now out.

WEST HAM UNITED: Adrian, Tomkins, Reid, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Song, Noble (c), Kouyate, Moses, Zarate, Carroll #MNUWHU #WHUFC

Looking at that i can see this being a long afternoon. Hopefully we can get an early goal.

DomesticTadpole · Dec 5, 2015

If the wind in Manchester is as bad as Stoke's I think we can forget about a skillful game. I just want the win.

Ash_G · Dec 5, 2015

Was really hoping to see mata central with some actuals wingers and martial up top. If he can't start there in a situation like this then it's not good. Will probably be another one we have to grind out.

Lingard's played there for what 30 minutes in his whole career, surely not. It's 4231.

Devil may care · Dec 5, 2015

The line-up isn't 3-5-2 or -4-2-3--1 it's the "See what happens without Rooney?" formation.

Wouldn't mind playing against the West Ham United reserves instead.

We'll see in 45 minutes.

Well I have difficulty seeing us winning this and the formation is of no help.

Yes it will be. Perhaps LVG has decided to give the fans the attacking football they crave.

Walters_19_MuFc · Dec 5, 2015

No way we could be playing 352, with Fellaini and Martial up top, as our forwards have to spend a lot of time in wide areas, which simply doesnt suit Fella. If we were, Memphis would have started instead.

sdb4884 · Dec 5, 2015

I'd like to see Varela in action.

marlowe78 · Dec 5, 2015

Fellaini seems to play well against West Ham and he can help to shut down Carroll in the one area he's good at (headers). Really not sure what we can create with this attacking lineup, though, Mata has been poor of late.

MUFAN79 · Dec 5, 2015

Just win it. Don't care how it happens.

peridigm · Dec 5, 2015

10/11. Had Memphis over Fellaini. Was hoping for Mata as #10.

Same here. I hope it's got nothing to do with the long balls he was talking about!

In response to fans chanting attack LvG said that perhaps we want more long balls.

This, can't see either team scoring here.

Dull as feck 0-0 that will have the Rooney fans saying he would have banged 10 in today.

Yup - if there ever is a game to use Fellaini - it's against an organized Hammers-side without their 3 best (and quickest) attacking players. With Carroll - the chance of being caught on the counter is ... small
