In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I think he means this season. To be fair, nothing we do in terms of formation and stuff seems to make much difference to our away performances...
Noodle always moans at the lineups, regardless of who's picked/what formation we play.
Just do what the rest of us do and ignore it.

what a bag of shit , what do they want , red and yellow cards given out after the game.
So, I see a defensive minded 4-5-1..
Christ Gibson and Carrick...this isn't going to start well
Until this season and maybe last we haven't usually played such a negative formation against teams like West Ham...and look at our results and performances away from home this season...they've been somewhere between not very good and pathetic, and the few better performances have all been when we've gone with two strikers.
and I don't get the point in having three strikers on the bench. He's obviously not going to bring all three of them on. We've left all three of them out in order to play a completely inbalanced looking three man midfield which includes Gibson, who doesn't really play in midfield anyway...what's the point? Unless West Ham implode we're going to have to change it in order to get a result.
SAF has put the 'runners' out there
Erm, not really comfortable with gill being our only defensive cover. Ive watched him probably just under a dozen times, dont particularly rate him. Hopefully he'll step up if needed.
Why is everyone moaning here?
That team should have more than enough for West Ham so quit you moaning and whimpering.
We have plenty of options on the bench if needs be, and it was in this type of set up with Valencia that Rooney was unstoppable!

Sky sports pundits have gone for the following results:
Merson - West Ham win
Thompson - United win
Other two - draw.
I am not sure what the feck will happen in the game, it could go either way but I am certainly not confident about the game at all. Always a difficult place to go and win, or get anything for that matter and I am not confident with the team that we have selected -although having Park in is a positive.

Absolutely nothing new in our formations away from home this season. Performances have been poor away from home but the formation/tactics are fairly standard.
If anything, the last two seasons have seen us use an attacking 442 more than in previous years. Part of the reason we've struggled to keep clean sheets IMO.
It really bugs me the way people seem to think we're playing more conservatively these last two seasons when we've actually scored more goals than in the previous three. How does that work, exactly?
The line-up has me nervous, I thought we'd have Berbatov up front with Rooney.
...and Berba has only started 1 in the last 7 or so...?
whats the west ham team..sorry if I missed it being posted...
How long till kick off?
14 minutes
I remember when Sky used to come on at least an hour before kick off. They still do not sometimes with CL games. But I kinda miss the unnecessarily long three hour build up for no apparent reason.
I didn't think we'll lose today before seeing the starting lineup. After seeing that team and West Ham's push for their own relegation agenda, reckon we'll lose. We'll bring the strikers on and we'll run out of time.
Jesus christ, why is the gap between the touchline and the stand at Upton Park so big?
It's enormous!
Getting them used to the Olympic Stadium?

The pace should hurt the Nobel, Hitzelsberger and Parker midfield. If only Nani and Anderson were fully fit.
Uninspiring line up but this is about doing a job and holding some players fresh for Chelsea.
3 strikers and Nani on the bench holds out some hope for goals though.
It'll be funny to see a Championship side in the national athletic stadium.
Hmm...not entirely happy with that team. Would've started Berba.
01 Green
15 Upson
22 Da Costa
36 Bridge
37 Jacobsen
08 Parker
11 Hitzlsperger
16 Noble
32 O'Neil
09 Cole
21 Ba
No width, poor defence ... and uninspiring forward line.
Stuck in the queue at the fecking bank...
I find myself not hating Steve McManamamaman as much lately. Worrying.
Hernandez was dropped? Can't believe Oliver Gill made the bench.
i do not feel good about this
Come on United!
With all the games coming up, this lineup is about the strongest we could put out there. I mean 5 in 15 days. CL, FA semi...
Can someone send me a PM to a stream, thanks
Fox sports saying that Giggs is playing up with Rooney
Di Canio 
Why am I even still in this thread? I know people are going to start spazzing out as soon as Gibson misplaces a pass.
0-0 half time and then The super Mexican on and Berba/owen depending on how we are doing.
Di Canio! Top stuff.
