Heart days Man Utd win. Head says draw.

Giggsy11 · 04-03-2015 3:58am

Can't see us winning this one, with out away record best we can hope for is a draw.

Either 1-1 or 2-1 to Newcastle.

Charlie19 · 04-03-2015 9:28am

3 points for utd or it could be a draw.

04-03-2015 10:40am

Newcastle no likey Man Utd

If we stick with Januzaj and Young, or give Di Maria a more restricted role on the wings should be enough to beat Newcastle with Rooney / Falcoa up front.

Would be good to get Carrick on for a few minutes as a sub also

John Cherry · 04-03-2015 1:44pm

Going to go for a scrappy 2-1 to M.Utd.

Cisse for Newcastle and Rooney and Falcao for United.

kryogen · 04-03-2015 1:49pm

Another of the must win fixtures really, I'm on the fence tbh, I think we will win but the away form has been patchy and if Newcastle decide to sit in and defend, try to catch us on the break it could be a very frustrating night. If United play with a good tempo and stretch them I can see it being quite comfortable.

Bobeagleburger · 04-03-2015 2:25pm

Hard to know how this will go as Newcastle are so unpredictable.

I'll say a scrappy Utd win or score draw.

Ah Kew, 3/10 for effort,you forgot to tell people the game is on BT Sport.

We've a decent record against Newcastle:

• December 2014: Man Utd 3-1 Newcastle

• April 2014: Newcastle 0-4 Man Utd

• December 2013: Man Utd 0-1 Newcastle

• December 2012: Man Utd 4-3 Newcastle

• October 2012: Newcastle 0-3 Man Utd

Only 3 away wins for United is a problem and we need to improve on this pronto.Newcastle were rubbish against us at OT but the way we play away from home,this could be a real slog.

Moneymaker · 04-03-2015 3:26pm

We are terrible.

Easy win for United.

yermandan · 04-03-2015 3:41pm

This is on BT Sports 1

madcabbage · 04-03-2015 3:47pm

Id like to see Mata get a start tonight especially with the way Di Maria has been of late. Think we'll pull through this easy enough despite the shaky few weeks Utd have had.

The Backwards Man · 04-03-2015 3:53pm

I can see this being the biggest ever away win in the premier league.

yep, the last quarter will finish 0-7 to 4-12 with 4 wickets to spare.

RayCon · 04-03-2015 4:11pm

Utd win

No joke, the Newcastle back line should be renamed the Exxon Valdez, take half a day to turn and porous as fcuk.

You've seen Utd play this season yeah? We struggled to put Sunderland away at home on Saturday. It doesn't matter how porous their defence is if we don't create goal scoring chances

Unfortunately United haven't exactly been displaying any great pace recently, Falcao in particular couldn't win a footrace with a ham sandwich.

We will still win though. It will be similar to the Sunderland game, awful on the eyes and very frustrating play but we will get a goal or two from somewhere. I'd even go so far as a 3-0 win for United, all goals in the 2nd half.

Rayne Wooney · 04-03-2015 4:38pm

Obertan to run riot

Bleating Lamb · 04-03-2015 5:04pm

Ahhh ....poor Overtan,another Tosic!,if LVG is serious about securing at least 4th place this is one of those must win games,Neecastle frail at the back and if Cisse is well marshalled they are toothless enough up front.
Would like to see this team start-
De Gea,
Tony V Smalling Rojo Shaw
Blind Fellaini
Herrera Young
Mata
Rooney.

With Di Maria on bench as he isn't 'playing' himself into form...and Shaw to wake up a bit hopefully.

Hank Scorpio · 04-03-2015 6:33pm

Must win game for United, lose here and its curtains for 4th imo

blueser · 04-03-2015 6:50pm

Can't see Newcastle causing you lot any major problems. I was over for the game at the Etihad a couple of saturdays back, and the toon were absolutely atrocious. Defensively, they're very poorly organised. Press them hard from the outset, and they will probably crumble. If Falcao and Di Maria can't fill their boots tonight, they never will. 1-4 for United.

That_Guy · 04-03-2015 6:57pm

We have the worst defence in the Premier League by some distance. We've also got nothing going for us in attack either. This will be a very comfortable win for Man United.

This will be another example of mind numbingly tedious drudgery

Vurnon San Benito · 04-03-2015 7:25pm

Be very surprised if it's anything other than a clear victory for Manchester United tonight.

Our defence (NUFC) is incredibly bad as That_Guy has alluded to. Our first choice left-back is injured alongside Steven Taylor, Paul Dummett, and Davide Santon gone on loan, plus Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa sold to Roma.

A defence with Mike Williamson starting at centre back is pretty much a three man defence, with Coloccini set for another double workload tonight.

No Rémy Cabella on the wing for any flair either, while Jack Colback is suspended.

If MUFC don't win this tonight they have only themselves to blame.

I'd just like to see us go all out and throw caution to the wind. Cue another 0-4 loss!

Whatsisname · 04-03-2015 7:34pm

Rumours of Januzaj and Jones in for Evans and Di Maria.

Whatsisname · 04-03-2015 7:46pm

Rumours wrong.

UtdReport.com ‏@UtdReport
#mufc XI vs Newcastle: De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Evans, Rojo, Blind, Herrera, Di Maria, Fellaini, Young, Rooney.

No Falcao but still should have enough. 2-0 United win, Fellaini and Rooney peno

Anyone · 04-03-2015 7:51pm

Fellaini instead of Falcao. Should mean Man Utd can play more at the back if the are going to bypass midfield.

magma69 · 04-03-2015 7:52pm

Think Newcastle have a chance of stealing a draw here.

Nailz · 04-03-2015 7:58pm

I'm hoping that's a 4-3-3 like this:

DDG
Val--Smalling--Evans--Rojo

Blind

Fellaini----Herrera
Di Maria

Young

Rooney

What it probably will be:

Blind
Herrera-Young-Evans-Val

DDG

Rooney----Rojo

Smalling
---Di Maria

Fellaini

May as well leave Evans sure!

Don't see how playing an extra midfielder would indicate they will bypass midfield, something United haven't done at all this season either..

The Moldy Gowl · 04-03-2015 8:04pm

This will be the formation

DDG
Val--Smalling--Evans--Rojo

Blind

Rooney----Herrera
Di Maria

Young

Fellaini

Hoping for this too! The most balanced team with that selection of players

Unearthly · 04-03-2015 8:20pm

time for Man United to start winning away

LuckyGent88 · 04-03-2015 8:33pm

I have had a ****e day at work so it's probably best I don't watch us tonight!!! Might drive me over the edge completely

Going for a 2-1 win for united

madcabbage · 04-03-2015 8:36pm

WTF does Mata have to do to warrant a starting position!! :mad:
