Pete Moss

BREAKING: Phil Jones suffers injury from just looking at that pitch.

This is not going to be a pretty game, pitch looks a mess, expect the ball to be bobbling all over the place! A win would be great but can probably see a scrappy draw being played out.

That pitch was built for Mou Fel.

Will be interesting how they lineout, can't figure out what formation they'll start with!

Mantis Toboggan

4 Centre halfs?
Pogba starts?
Young?
Fellaini ?

I wonder is Jose trying to get us knocked out.

Richard Hillman

That's a bus parking team

Mars Bar

3-5-2 I reckon

Smalling, Jones and Rojo back three.

Young, Pogba, Fellaini, Herrera and Blind across the middle

Ibra leading the line and Mkhi floating around as needs be

GavRedKing

Utd will get a 2-0 tonight IMO.

Good professional display and take the 2 goal lead back to Manchester.

Pitch is a state but its not going to help Rostov either who before the winter played decent football on it from the CL highlight I seen.

Fellaini will score there I said it

Its a sensible team to reduce the risk of them scoring hopefully.

duffman13

A good team clearly picked on the state of the pitch. Big physical side which will hopefully make for an ugly but effective result

which bt channel is showing it please and thanks

Thanx 4 The Fish

Think Rostov could get a result tonight but either way Man Utd will go through. Eastern European sides just don't travel well.

How does Pogba keep ****ting his pants when he gets a chance in the box?

Liam McPoyle

I really fear for the players on that surface.

I didn't open the reports on the pitch so this is my first time seeing it.. wouldn't see that in the LOI tbh.

20 Years ago nobody would have batted an eyelid.

If you or I were playing a Sunday League game we would probably be impressed and not at all worried about getting injured.

I genuinely think my Sunday League club's pitch is better than this.

gillamandango

Nothing wrong with that pitch lads. Would rather that than a plastic pitch. End of the day, their touch has to be good as pro footballers..settle after 20mins then comfortable win..be grand.

Mars Bar

Surprised Jones didn't smash in to a million pieces when he hit the ground there.

Mars Bar

Ah lads, you have to communicate there.

Trigger

Should have left it for Fellaini who had his body behind it properly

Jones just doesnt know how tro fall properly

Trigger

hows that a free against Mkhi

jayo26

Rostov seem happy to slow the game and break up play at every overturity that will do us.

Mantis Toboggan

Rostov already on the time wasting

The way these lads are rolling around the place we will be lucky to get 45 mins of play

dr.kenneth noisewater

Game is free to view on Eir sport1

Mars Bar

That's karma there. He tried to body check Mkhi and injured himself in the process.

jayo26

Lvg must be teaching them supporters how to throw the ball back.... They just passed it around and around and eventually threw it higher up in the stands.

Trigger

Romero was in position as soon as that ball left the takers foot.. great anticipation

Mars Bar

These lads are letting the Russian "hard man" image down.

Mantis Toboggan

Horrible game of football

Liam McPoyle

Yellow card me hole, yer man must have been watching Suarez last night.

Rostov players have been shameful so far

It looks like something from a very early 90's edition of "The Premier League Years"
