Imagine if that was the team and we won like 7 or 8 - 0.
Mind you, imagine if that was the team and we lose 1-0...
Which is what's bound to happen
We're all far too optimistic following Mata's signing, this side is bound to bring us back down to earth

We better win by 2 clear goals or I'm going to be broke

A front 4 of RVP, Rooney, Mata, Januzaj (Kagawa) is absolutely orgasmic but with our midfield options we'll struggle against just about any decent team to win the midfield battle. Tomorrow won't be at all easy.
What a difference a week does make.Assuming no one is fit and no one has signed
Team should be...
GK: De Gea
RB: Rafael
CB: Smalling
CB: Evans
LB: Evra
RM: Valencia
CM: Jones
CM: Giggs
LM: Young
CF: Kagawa
CF: Hernandez
Subs: Lindegaard, Lingard Buttner, Fletcher, Cleverley, Januzaj, Welbeck
Jesus what a depressing XI
We all saw what kind of shape Jones was in during his first match back against Chelsea and the same should be expected of the others. Also by the evidence of his last game Januzaj appeared to be in some need of a rest, yet whether a week without football is enough...*shrugs*
I don't envisage a vast improvement on our part by Tuesday, the difference being that Moyes might have better match winning options on the bench to call upon [or equalising options if Ole is leading].

From Physio room, we could indeed be looking at unleashing them all.

Would love it if we got to see both Rooney and Mata in the team. Hoping for a really good performance the suggest the acquisition and the strong words from Moyes has shaken the team out of their lethargy. But as long as we get the three points I'll be pretty happy.
Hope we get the 3 points and a bit of Matamagic, just to keep the fans engaged and in good spirits.
Hopefully come this time tomorrow, we'll all be wanking to Mata, Rooney, Adnan and Kagawa .gifs

I think you're missing someone...
I don't understand how anyone can leave Phil Jones out.
-----------De Gea-----------
Rafael--Smalling-Jones-Evra
------Fletcher--Fellaini-------
Mata------Kagawa---Januzaj
-----------Rooney-----------
Think it would be a bit risky to start Van Persie too, maybe even play safe and start Cleverley over Fellaini.
Rafael--Smalling-Jones-Evra
------Fletcher--Fellaini-------
Mata------Kagawa---Januzaj
-----------Rooney-----------

Whoever is fit to play, select the best eleven. It's that simple.
It seems van Persie has been somewhat physically fit for 2-3 weeks now but the reintroduction to football has been slower and steadier than last time. Same with Rooney, they've been careful. If they're done enough football work in training, get them playing.
And please just throw Mata in. Take the limelight off Januzaj a bit, make him the talking point to take the pressure off De Gea following his howler against Sunderland.
Saw Cardiff vs City and they were very positive, so depending on how we decide to defend we might need a ridiculous strong attack to actually outscore them!

This. Moyes said he's fit, he should be raring to go. In the line up i posted there's enough defensive solidity to just ask the front 4 to go for it, at home we should be too much for them.
Actually I would start Mata. I'd be pleasantly surprised if Mata, Rooney, van Persie and Januzaj started tomorrow but can't see it. I think possibly one of Rooney/van Persie will start tomorrow.
Wish Getty had those images of the team training like in the past - getting a glimpse of Rooney / RVP training for this game would be nice as it's agonizing to wait for the lineup tomorrow. If they are fit, they are playing "no doubt about that"
Let's just hope that 2OLEGEND hasn't become a complete tactical fecking genius over the last few years eh.
How good will the stream quality be for this? Mates want to go pub to watch Merseyside derby and if I knew there mightnt be a good stream for this Id probably go.

Cheers. I usually use sopcast actually, a Russian channel that normally has 2000kpbs+, I presume that sort of quality will be available tomorrow?
According to the Mail (ok, so I might as well not have bothered but still...) they both trained today.

Not sure to be honest, that is quite a limited channel list to what is usually available, and like I say I don't need the streams, all I can suggest is trying to find the above channels and trying them.
Hopefully that's a picture from today !
Despite Rooney and RvP being 'ready', I don't think either will start.

I've just gone and put Mata in my fantasy team.
Means he wont start lads.
Means he wont start lads.
I have him as captain ffs!
Really excited about this but at the end of the day, there is still a real possibility that we won't win. Hopefully the excitment brings out a good performance though.
It's going to be
DDG, Rafael, Smalling, Evans, Evra, Janujaz Fletcher, Jones, Mata, Rooney, RVP.
It's going to be absolutely beautiful !
Oh United FB did post the same pic in the Daily Mail article showing Rooney/RVP training - I take their smiles as they are completely fit and raring to go. Not to mention RVP had said "see you all Tuesday".

It normally turns out a bad decision not to captain Suarez but I'm gonna gamble today. Besides, it gives me double pleasure if Mata starts and does well!
If we lose do we get to go out and spend another £40 million?
I really hope all 3 van Persie, Rooney and mata start today. I just feel like playing them all could be a great statement for like the start of a new era for us here, after them being out for so long, and are now apparently available. Can you imagine the lift it would give everyone, and the subsequent reaction from the Cardiff players? Come on moyesy, you know you want to.
Wouldn't put it past Moyesy to use the Mata signing as a springboard towards a 1-0 defeat.
This season has been one step forward, two steps back. I know this place has been very positive since the League Cup exit, due to the Mata signing. But it's not inconceivable we drop more points here.
Mata - Lacking in familiarity with new team mates.
Rooney and RVP - Likely to be ring rusty
Januzaj - Possibly suffering the strain of too much football, whether the effects be physical or mental.
Valencia - Longstanding radar malfunction.
Dare Moyes risk such a potentially disjointed attack?
