Apparently all fit first team squad travelled for the match except Jones, Carrick and RVP...

What is the injury status of Valencia, Di Maria and Fellaini?

I assume every body else is fit apart from The obvious injuries to Young , Blind and Rojo?

I think it's safe to say that those 6 plus the 3 not travelled wwon't be involved.

Delboy5 · 04-01-2015 01:09PM

Di Maria has travelled, not sure bout the other 2....

mufcboy1999 · 04-01-2015 01:15PM

I'd rather see falcoe rested for this one, or at best wrapped in layers of cotton wool, what's the betting he'll come off injured.

Nah I think he still needs competitive minutes under his belt to get him up to speed. Would be hopeful he starts. Would be a good run out for him.

But seriously I'm with Baldy on this one. The reserves should be beating Yeovil.
Be interesting to see what team starts.

Saw picture of the pitch on twitter... Looks good, so no fears with that.

thelad95 · 04-01-2015 01:31PM

Will Yeovil try to hack the fúck out of us? If so, Di Maria (if fit), Falcao, Rooney, RVP and Carrick shouldn't be anywhere near this game.

Nalz · 04-01-2015 01:33PM

if Falcao is 80-90% match fit I want him to start
Otherwise cotton wool wrapped please

Anderson to start, Di Maria shouldn't even be let near the ground

Ya,looks like a nice little ground,hopefully no banana skins today.

kryogen · 04-01-2015 01:40PM

Falcao will hopefully start, along with Januzaj and Wilson, would hope to see a back 4 with Raf and Shaw in it if possible, Smalling and Jones would be my preferred partnership today, in midfield if Herrera is good to go I want him in, if not at least get him a sub appearance, same as Di Maria.

Nalz · 04-01-2015 01:45PM

Pity Paddy Madden moved to Scunthorpe. Would love to have seen him up against us. Used to watch him play for Bohs years ago, never thought he would make it across the sea.

FutureGuy · 04-01-2015 02:00PM

No disrespect to Yeovil but this would be the best chance to give Falcao more game time and a chance to get a brace.

Will I Amnt · 04-01-2015 02:10PM

Falcao is a tough, physical forward, I think he would relish this sort of game. Unless he's carrying a niggling injury I wouldn't be overly concerned with him getting roughed up.

westernfrenzy · 04-01-2015 02:30PM

De Gea, Smalling, McNair, Blackett, Rafael, Fletcher, Herrera, Rooney, Shaw, Wilson, Falcao.

F*ck sake, can we not even play 4 at the back against Yeovil?

Donnielighto · 04-01-2015 02:32PM

FUCK 5 AT THE BACK

:mad::(

TheDoc · 04-01-2015 02:41PM

Happy enough with that linup, Shaw coming back from injury, Herrara in there pulling strings, and Falcao to hopefully bag a few goals and get himself into gear

We still can't play 433 as we don't have any wingers fit now (other than Januzaj)

Why just a 4-3-3? I think we look rather impressive with a midfield diamond; 4-1-2-1-2.

Take McNair out and play... Anderson, for the laugh. :pac:

DDG
Raf-Smalling-Blackett-Shaw

Fletcher
----Herrera---Anderson

Rooney

Falcao---Wilson

Edit: Although I'd rather see Will Keane given a run than Wilson.

Yeah, good point actually. We should be doing that instead. F*** three cbs.

kryogen · 04-01-2015 03:05PM

the back three is surely pointless in this game ffs, Fletcher starting too makes it worse

I'd have no problem with Fletcher starting if it wasn't for the 4 CB's to be honest. It's games like this where I'd love to see a plain old 4-4-2 with 2 normal central midfielders, 2 wide midfielders and 2 strikers, just to see how we'd do with that this season.

Januzaj hasn't impressed much this season, he's looked totally out of his depth, but I think this is a game where he really should be playing. With Yeovil Town as your opposition, I would've loved to have seen him out left and Nani out right (if he wasn't out on loan obviously).

Lord TSC · 04-01-2015 03:19PM

I think this shows that, realistically, LVG wants to adopt the 3 at the back system long term. The constant excuse for it was that we were waiting for Raf and Shaw back, but now they are, and we're going against Yeovil with 3 at the back. Only reason for that is to get them used to the system in an "easier" game setting....

Im starting to think this too not to thrilled never looks good or comfortable

Robson99 · 04-01-2015 03:27PM

Personally I think this is what he intends sticking with and also it allows you to have more possession IMO . When the players get used of it could be the way to go.

adox · 04-01-2015 03:35PM

I still think he will play a back four long term, when everyone is fully fit.

Only with a proper midfield

Just noticed that Paddy McNair's middle name is 'Seamus Coleman'

Full name: Patrick James Coleman McNair

His middle name is "James Coleman"; Seamus = James as Gaelige.

What's Coleman in Irish?

It wasn't funny.
