    Arsenal had chances against us but we clearly deserved to win that one... But sothampton deserved at least a draw, despite them having a lot of long range shots they were still the better team.

    I actually hate these games! Rarely enjoy them, always seem to be unable to do it the easy way against them.

    Sunday supplement journalist saying rumors that Wilson could start today

    On another note. Is this match live on any Irish radio station?

    Sure, by scoring an own goal from a mis-hit cross deflecting off a player lying on the floor. Well deserved!

    I hope LVG sets us up to go for the jugular in this game. We might be no great shakes ourselves at the moment but that Liverpool side are muck in most areas of the pitch.

    Come on Utd!!!

    Nervous anticipation.
    You really cannot see anything other than a United win, as long as last Monday's performance doesn't happen again. And Liverpool have been shocking.
    Logic says comfortable home win.

    But it's Liverpool, it won't be based on logic. If Giggsy's prep for the game was as good as van Gaal has said it was, that could make a difference. A moment of magic and/or madness could decide this. It will be a close run thing....

    I'm still confident of a win, we have the players to make it a great day, but de Gea especially, along with the back 4, will have to play well for us to do so, as much as any of our attacking players.

    I'm predicting and backing a 2-1 Liverpool win. Can't see us do it for some reason. It will be our own doing imo.

    Nah a 3-1 United win with Rojo as the weekly "should have been sent off" player. Though Fellaini has been doing a number on that one this season.

    Was hilarious v Soton in the match thread. Player comes in feet off the ground and cleans RvP. Definite Red, gets a yellow. Not a word said. literally 1 minute later fellaini shields off the ball with that forearm/elbow of his and a set of what appears to be, die hard Soton fans, lose their **** about how it was a disgraceful challenge :pac:

    It's a fun game trying to predict it. Same with the X was a poor signing/is a poor player after 5 minutes and one mistake.

    Well to quote one poster, our entire Midfield is "utter dross" so there's your starting point. I just hope that we don't shoot ourselves in the foot like we've been prone to recently.

    Is Mata going to play in midfield or Rooney? Jesus I hope it's not Mata.

    Also no Rojo in the squad. Any news on him?

    I think we're going with 41212 with carrick as defensive mid, mata and fellaini in the middle and rooney playing in the whole. Very attacking side

    Would much prefer to see Herrera in the midfield instead of Mata. Carrick and Fellaini work much better in the gem with Herrera between them.

    And Sky calling 3 at the back?? I read it as a flat back four. :confused:

    Herrera for mata would make us more combative.

    After seeing the lineup and subs bench, from a defensive pov I am definitely more worried now.

    Would assume Rojo is injured as he's not in the 18. Either that or he's out for personal reasons.

    I read it as a back 4 as well, I think Sky could be wrong.

    Jones coming back into such a heated game after being out for so long could be dangerous. I hope he doesn't pick up an early yellow or we could see things go very badly.

    Especially with the probability of sterling running at him with the ball

    I really hope it's a back 4, can't see Fellaini containing all those quick players on his own, red card waiting to happen.
