Adm back in midfield.

Mata not in squad.

Looking suspiciously like 442! Adm back in midfield.

Rooney not in the squad either.

FHFC

Thought I was wrong but it is 442. Blind LB. ADM central so far.

Mr.Prodston

If it looks like staying as a back 4 going forward I'll have to ditch De Gea.

Van Gaal wouldn't be the only one with a twitch in his ass watching the games :pac:

Mr.Prodston

Phil Jones is still on corners too....

so bizarre

The way United are playing at the moment, I don't think I want any of their players for the foreseeable future, good fixtures or not.

FHFC

Don't think Cambridge will be able to keep up this intensity. I'd say there's a serious bonus on the draw though.....


Why Cambridge want replay: MUFC have avg match income of £3.86m. Cambridge would get 45% (£1.7m). From ONE game. Their annual income: £1.6m.

I agree and I'm a Utd fan! Still have ADM though but will last two games Max.

United may not be so charitable, I recall they once gave Cambridge an awful lot of money for Dion Dublin when they lost out on Alan Shearer:p

Not watching, what's the story with Jones on corners, could be worth a few assists. DiMaria was whipping in outrageous corners earlier on in the year and Rooney had done the same last year.

Lacking in Herrera. A great passer of the ball and superb with link-up play. Don't know if he's had a falling out with lvg, but he's not seeing as much game time and United look less threatening without him.

Watched most of it and the only corner I saw di maria took it, slipped on his arse in the process.

Jones took one on the left, ADM seems to be taking the right. Presumably for in swingers on both sides

I have him too but he seems totally off his game at the moment and I don't fancy sitting through a few more 2/3 pointers until/if he finds some form again.

FHFC

I'm still irresistibly drawn to get him in. He was back playing centrally getting on the ball a lot when they upped the pressure. Created some chances, was not as bad as most of his teammates.

you are a united fan aren't you ? as am I........he was POISON tonight
pulled out of at least 2 tackles. I am seriously seriously contemplating a -4 to switch him for Sanchez. if I did not have Walcott I'd have it ready to pull the trigger........that and the fact I'm going to OT for the game next sat !

I got him in on wildcard 2 weeks ago. I'm keeping for next week and then I think i'll sell. He has never been a regular goalscorer throughout his career . He isn't a 200 pt midfielder which he needs to be at his 9.5 price.

Not a United fan. So I watched the match with no emotion, just from FPL point of view. It was a terrible performance from United, moved the ball so slowly and casually that Cambridge soaked up everything by being organised and working their bollocks off. The replay is a serious prize for them. Blind and Valencia and Fellaini were woeful. Januzaj mostly poor. I'll sum it up like this. Adm was Uniteds best attacking threat, shading it over Phil Jones!

I don't give a crap how many tackles di maria pulls out of, just how involved he is attacking wise, and he created Uniteds best chance amd positionally played exactly where I'd want him to fpl wise.

My plan has been to get him on the wc for Leicester and if no improvement probably swap out for Silva for City home to Hull.

he is getting next week for me too realistically and then I'll see......as you said united are moving the ball soooooo slowly
falcao is making excellent runs but not being picked out
maybe next week ADM will thread him a few through on the bigger pitch

I'm a united fan and they were poison tonight and are poison in general. There is no way i would consider ADM for my wildcard until united stop playing this slow sideways and backwards passing buildup to nothing strategy they have. Cazorla is a far better option than ADM atm.

If you have him then it's a hold for the leicester game but after that he's not worth it.

Who would you pick out of any two mids after Hazard and Sanchez as a matter of interest?

Cazorla and Eriksen are on my WC watchlist. Jury is out on Eriksen but most likely i will either go for Cazorla in midfield or else Giroud as 3rd Striker. Currently have Silva but i feel his points will diminish now that he is no longer the false 9. Oscar is also a great option for those that have an extra chelsea space. I am sticking with Costa, Hazard and Terry though

Yaya will be another option when he returns from ACON.
