Man Utd Match Thread

Big test for us. United on a great run. They may not be overly impressive but they are scoring goals and wining games. You would imagine we will make a couple of changes, Davies will come in for Rose, Mason will start, will Fazio be left out with the challenge of Costa in a couple of days in mind? Townsend to start in place of lamela or chadli? Soldado to start??

I think we'll create chances against them, but United will score.

Prediction 2-2

COYS

I fear we will get a spanking. 1-4. Serious performance required, would take a point.

mickman

Really hard game to call - we are both winning games even though we are both not playing well. Could be a great game in a great day for sport and lying on the couch all day :-)

I reckon we will show our usual fatigue and united will be very lively. United will prob win 1-3

Fazio and Costa have history so I'm hoping he plays well and Costa throws a wobbly and gets sent off and we win 2-1 again

Dublin Spur

2-1

need to find a performance like v Everton

mickman

Great day of live matches !!

‪#‎THFC‬ team: Lloris, Chiriches, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Mason, Stambouli; Chadli, Eriksen, Townsend; Kane

Subs: Vorm, Dier, Walker, Lamela, Dembele, Paulinho, Soldado ‪#‎COYS‬

Interesting Walker dropped for chiriches.
Probably best line up we have

mushykeogh

Would have preferred Walker in there, at least he has pace. That centre midfield doesnt inspire confidence!

tom1ie

I think we'll start brightly and go a goal or 2 up but get pegged back due to defensive errors can see this being 2-2 or 2-3 to United. Goals in the game anyway.

Good game we are playing ok united have most of the ball they just hit the post from a free kick we've had 1 or 2 chances

Utd the better team, just hit the post from a free kick. Our best chance will come from a counter.

Commentators couldn't be any more biased against us, we're playing ok, had a few chances

Ffs just as I say that Townsend goes in the book for a stupid challenge

What game you watching? They are all over us. Two goal line clearances , hit post and falcao missed sitter

We can't get the ball

Sugarlumps

Would like to see Dembele on for Mason/Bouli.

irishmover

Pretty much what I expected then..

Kiith

Commentators are spot on. We're being destroyed. Only a matter of time before they score.

tom1ie

Problem is our central midfield is getting battered because we are outnumbered and out skilled in that department and 50% of our wingers are idiots

Our midfield doesnt exist, cant get the ball, cant hold on to it when we do get it.

tom1ie

****ing Townsend. How can he not control a ball like that we'd a break on. At least hold it up.

Sugarlumps

What the heck, somebody has to take control there.

mickman

Biggest miss of the season by van Persie

We've had chances too. You do realise we are trying to contain players of the class of RVP, Rooney, Falcao and Mata with the players we got. We are doing ok, it's as I expected. We have not got any player to boss midfield, our defenders have been good.

What chance was that ? De gea hasn't had a touch

Sugarlumps

If we get to half time I'd be relatively happy, we've rode our luck. But it's not Utd of old, they can be caught out cold.

Townsends reverse pass and Kane just missing being on the end of it. That's all I've got!

Townsend is useless. Should of sold him when all the hype was going on when he scored for England.

Hardly a chance

United should be 4 up

Agreed. Would have gotten 15 mill

Sugarlumps

Dembele a must for the second half. Wingers producing nothing, Eriksen very quite, but can always produce the magic. Utd should be in front, but we've been very, very lucky this season. Stupidly I think we'll nick this, Soldado winner.

But they aren't, we could easily nick a goal. I'm sick of all this negativity, everythings sh1te. A point here would be great

Lloris been brilliant.
I feel a smash and grab result.
Fingers crossed

What you on about ? We are being destroyed at home - how is that being negative ?

It's a fact

mass_debater

Goals win matches, if it finishes like this we'll get a point and I'll be happy.

It's 0-0 while we are playing **** against a team full of attacking superstars. That's a positive

Good point. Dembele is strong and will hold the ball up

A point would we great, but we were completely outclassed in that half. On another day we could easily be 4 or 5 nil down. The fact is were blessed to be nil all, thats the only positive thing i can come up with!.

Sugarlumps

Kane needs a bit of help up top, not going to score otherwise.

tom1ie

Is chiriches an actual football player or is him being in the team a piss take?

Made some good blocks in the first half and cleared off the line but he has been shocking second half

tom1ie

Van Persie got away with that

Sugarlumps

Well Utd aren't exactly battering us, our bench is stronger. Think Utd blew there load in the first half, although still dangerous.
