A lot of talk about a Falcao injury? Not liking this at all.

Very worrying considering RVP's recent form. Despite a few goals he hasn't been great.

I'm very surprised that a lot of people seem to think it's going to be x-0 to Chelsea today. I can see both teams scoring, but I fear it'll be our defence that lets things down overall.

I don't think it will be that straight forward either.
We have become so unpredictable, no idea how we will perform against top opposition.

To confirm: Costa confirmed to start on SSN

Shocker!

Most expected that I believe, can never take Jose at his word, hopefully Costa isn't fit and a repeat of his old 10 minute cameo occurs

I think Falcao being out is a **** of thing, but it may be a blessing in disguise if he just puts RvP through the middle alone, has a solid 3 in midfield (Blind, Herrera, Fellaini) leaving Mata with less defensive responsibility then when we go two up top to do his thing in behind RvP.

The wings then can be Di Maria and.......ah one of the others, Januzaj maybe, probably Valencia of course!

I would not be opposed to that kind of line up at all

Blind
Herrera Fellaini
Val/Jan Mata Di Maria
Rvp?

Think you've miscounted unless we play 3 at back.

Well, he started by saying Costa was injured, he continued to down play his chances of playing in the game, then he gave that glimmer of hope by saying there was a small chance, probably not because he had been to hospital, but a small chance as he had done some "individual" training on Friday

Are you a Chelsea fan? Shouldn't you be more up to date with your managers comments then me?

Underdogs or not I can't wait for this match.

I'm like little kid at Christmas.

Football really starts in 50mins though.

Hibs/United double please

Dammit! I certainly did have a brain fart there

Ok leave out Fellaini/Mata and keep the rest

We would surely have a decent shot with 12 men though right?

GavRedKing

Costa trained Friday and Saturday. Im not sure if hes recovered from that bug enough to be an influence.

Would go with
Blind. Fellani
Valencia Herrera. Di Maria
Falcao

Did you read any of the previous posts ?
Falcao is out.

Start him anyways. **** with Mourinhos head. He'll end up playing Cech in the hole and Drogba in nets. Ivanovic up top alone and six players at left back.

madcabbage

Falcao picks up a knock doesn't not equate to him being out! Is it confirmed on SSN or are people going with rumours?

BloodBath

We're not doing that badly at all. We didn't have our new signings for the early games and we beat the West Ham side that beat City yesterday.

A lot of these middling teams will take points from the big clubs this season. There is a lot of decent sides there who are playing some good football.

Yes we dropped points to easier teams. Our away form is terrible but I think we can feel a little hard done by in a couple of those games and our injury problems at the back definitely contributed to it.

Has Van Gaal made the bewildering squad or sub selections Moyes was making last season? Has he thrown in over 80 crosses against a team who had a strong height advantage?

I'm not saying he's not open to any criticism but in my eyes he's doing a lot better than Moyes was despite the lower points tally this far into the season.

Do any of you genuinely think we won't get top 4 this season? Who's going to take our place if so?

Savage, I think we have a good chance if Costa isn't playing.

Just a shame we might be missing Falcao now as well

How reliable is that twitter source? Big boost for Utd if it's true.

Dunno but we'll know soon enough.

Speaking of tweets,Carricks' brother tweeted that he's heading to OT to "watch @Carra16 do his stuff after 5-6 months out".

The club say no delay but seems there's chaos due to a train breaking down this morning.Fans were told to travel via Sheffield.

Falcao after scoring the winner today.

madcabbage

Dare I say it but would it mad to put Fellani in behind RVP with Di Maria/ Young as wide support? Presuming Falcao isn't selected today.

Valmont

I'm trying really hard to optimistic about this game. If Man Utd can get an early goal who knows what will happen.

We will sit back and invite them onto us more then likely!

Gonna be hard seeing as he's not playing.

Any team with a decent defence should beat us at the moment, because we're like a wet paper bag at the back regardless of what we do in attack.
