    Please let that be Rojo lb in a back four, highly doubt it is tho

    Zamora is going to cause us problems.

    He'll latch onto Smalling.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,775 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    A 5-3-2 or a 3-4-1-2 is my guess.

    Rooney upfront with Falcao with Mata in behind = goals. :D

    Say it's Blind LB in a 5 tbh.

    Smalling is ok at defending hoofball, it's everything else that's the problem.

    Until we start with him in CM and Di Maria up front. The order in names seems that way.

    still not a back 4. gonna be a tough game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,672 ✭✭✭ScummyMan


    Fcuk sake Herrera must be shagging his wife. Another dour midfield performance coming.

    If we drop points here, LVG will come under massive pressure .. (And rightly so!)

    Brian Cox to replace him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,073 ✭✭✭irishfeen


    MUTV saying team selection was filled in wrong .. Evans instead of Smalling!

    WTF is going on?? They must have asked the refs permission to change.

    Our best performances have come playing the diamond so his insistence on 5 at the back in frustrating to say the least.

    I agree. At one stage things were looking great and I thought that we would comfortably get third in the league but how things have changed. Anything short of a win and we could be out of the top 4 :(

    Smalling must have slipped on ice, it would be the form, we are kinda lacking a lot of injuries :P

    A 4-3-3 would be enjoyable with that group of players but I think Rojo would be missed in the middle.

    It suggests he really doesn't trust his defence in a 4-3-3.

    Badly need someone like Godin brought in along with a Varane, Hummels or Laporte, and maybe thsi 5 at the back madness ends.

    Heres hoping evans slots in to the left side of the CB and we go 4 at the back with Val and Rojo as FB's and play 4231..

    Is that too much to ask? its going to be 352 isn't it? :(

    Rooney and Falcao up top will be interesting. Hopefully not ADM up front again

    Yeah, thought Di Maria's best performances for us was him making runs from the midfield and getting in the box.

    It's pretty annoying considering the defense has performed at it's best with 4 at the back and Blind or Carrick covering.

    I actually think it's more to do with Valencia and his crap defending.

    We can hope for now that he does go with 4 at the back.

    Though not very hopeful...

    Talk of lots of full backs on the list of players that interest United. How true is another question.

    And in a game like this when the opposition is going to sit back and try to absorb up pressure that is exactly what we are going to need.

    Please tell me he isnt playing ADM as a left wing back in a 3-5-2 ?

    Blind most likely.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,751 ✭✭✭newballsplease


    Its a bit funny that the team is named yet still us fans are unsure how we will line out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,872 ✭✭✭keeponhurling


    Love LVG's press conferences.
    Gets properly wound up by journalists.

    "Do you think the relegation battle will be unpredictable for QPR?"

    Laughs......"I'm not busy or concerned about that. I only look up, not down"

    United are 17th in the league in terms of chances created, just mentioned in the press conference.

    That can't be right can it ?

    For a team 4th in the league
