Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread - See Mod Warning in OP, 09/11

Lord TSC

My laptop harddrive fried this morning, so it's been a bad start to the day. Really hoping for a win to buck me up, as well as some result in Chelsea vs Liverpool which sees both teams docked 20 points :pac:

Liverpool gone back to the lonely Balotelli system, I take it back, I'm not expecting them to get anything from it now.

Chelsea win. Chelsea dropping points is irrelevant to United, Liverpool dropping points is very welcome.

Yeah, Chelsea a definite top 4. Liverpool a potential top 4. The less potential the better for us...

so thats why a draw is better result. id rather be 2 points closer to the top, either side winning is a bad result for us.

Do you think we can win the league?

13 points after 10 games. Getting a CL spot is what matters the most right now.

I see Strootman is back in the Roma squad, might make an appearance from the bench tomorrow.

So the links with United will be brought up again, even if I'd assume United aren't in the market for more midfielders now after adding Herrera and Blind

Larry Wildman

Just heard Van Gaal saying that the project will take three years.

FFS.

We've gone from 3 months to 6 months to a year to 3 years.

If we don't make at least 4th, the Glazers have to pull the trigger.

Must win game today (obviously). I sense a tonking for Palace (4-0 or more).

A Chelsea win is clearly better for us.

Is the game televised today?

I think the project means competing for the PL and especially for the CL. We are significantly weaker than Bayern, Real and Barca at the moment. I would be quite pleased and impressed if LVG could get us there in 3 years and have full faith in it.

Aside from that, I think a RB and CB in Jan are certs.

Jeff Hendrick is too good to be playing in the championship. Only 22 aswell.

KH25

Team is out. De Gea, McNair, Valencia, Blind, Shaw, Carrick, Fellaini, Di Maria, Januzaj, Roo, RVP.

What has Januzaj done to keep his place in the team?

sky88

I really dont see why januazi is playing after his performances in the last 3 games

J. Marston

Crystal Palace were going to be up for this match anyway but after seeing that defence, they probably think they can win this.

We need an early goal to break them.

MagicIRL

That's one ropey back four!

More than Di Maria over the last 3 games.

Both are playing because they're both quality and our best options in those areas. You play your best players when you can, especially if there are no better alternatives.

Fair enough. I thought we were playing well with the diamond in midfield. Di Maria is better suited in that formation, rather then being stuck on the wing.

If Blind is CB today, why not play;

---

Carrick

---

---Fellaini/Herrera

---

Di Maria----

---

Mata/Fellaini

---

----Rooney

---

RVP

I would think Carrick is CB despite how the lineup was announced.

anyone know what channel the game is coming on???

4-4-2 or 4-5-1?

I think people are being very hard on Adnan he's effectively played no football this season.

1 goal or assist and he'll be flying again, a good loan would probably benefit him but we don't have enough quality in wide positions for that to happen.

Not sure to be honest! I'm out so Im just getting this from Twitter. Looks like Blind is the left sided CB.

433 Id Say

Carrick/Blind and Fellaini, with Di Maria and Januzaj wide and Rooney in behind RVP

Well, we call it a 4231

Who would you play instead of him ?
