Nah,I found this thread turned more & more into a match thread and other discussion got lost amongst predicted scores/lineups etc.When I saw that happening I started the match threads.

@M!CK. 4/10 for effort.Match thread op needs a bit of bling.:pac:

I read that the Club has hired a chef to teach the young players how to cook properly,shades of Fergie with that level of detail.

TheDoc

Ugh.

Heading to parents for the day and the match is on BT. That euro for one month Setanta deal is grand for Sky customers...but for UPC you get a penalty by the looks of it if you cancel. It's a 12 month contract with just the first month at a euro.

Anyone confirm that or correct me ?

One match and early kick off on telly is a joke for all the ****e talk of the Premier league a Christmas schedule being "great"

Chelsea play some fantastic stuff but it's been a year in the making, they were awful a lot I watched them last season

Van Gaal was being too optimistic when he said it would take 3 months

The Moldy Gowl

Spurs on Sunday so I would expect a few of our big players I be rested.
Don't think rvp falcao Rooney and di Maria will all be starting

I think it would be a mistake not to start falcoa today...he's scored against villa and this would be another good chance for him to get 90 minutes in and a couple of goals to boot

He's still injured I think. He picked it up before the villa match.
Chris smalling may return

No Di Maria in #mufc squad today

Blatter

No Di Maria in the squad, must be injured again. FFS.

United XI: De Gea, Jones, McNair, Evans, Valencia, Carrick, Rooney, Mata, Young, van Persie, Falcao. #mufclive

Given he's made less mistakes and has looked the better prospect I think I know why.

Big test today looking at that side. Serious lack of pace. Carrick will have his work cut out in midfield....

Yes, see previous page

Still so many injuries, jesus christ it's not gonna be easy today.

Smalling was doubtful anyways, may be back for spurs game.

Good to see Rafa back but, for the squad that we have, that's an uninspiring set of subs.

Lucas Hood

He's on the bench.

Exactly. . Was reading over the last few days that he was carrying a niggle and would be doubtful to be a starter.

Blatter

Lucas Hood wrote: »

Yeah there's an excuse with him that he's only back from injury though.

Blackett on the other hand came on in the last game and played very well. It's bizarre that he can pick McNair ahead of him.

MagicIRL

Blackett is probably being kept as a reserve LB at this stage. Let McNair play CB and Blackett can cover our next inevitable injury.

McNair made more mistakes in his last start v Southampton than Blackett has in all the mins he's played for the senior side.

Think you might have the two mixed up, or just didn't watch much of either.

Not in the slightest. Blackett has easily made more errors to date. I watched him long enough to know what I see.

Positionally he's terrible. McNair did really well in the majority of his starts to date bar the last match.

Odd for someone to say his selection ahead of Blackett is "bizarre" on the basis of one match.

Lucas Hood

Di Maria injured on Xmas eve.

Suffice to say I disagree.

Blackett looked far more comfortable than McNair. They look like two completely different prospects tbh.

3 at the back again by the looks of it

Wouldn't be surprised if McNair costs us a goal today tbh.

Lvg showing some faith in McNair after his howler...I'm sure if he has a bad game again lvg will be quick to react

You forgetting the Leicester game? Personally I prefer to see McNair over Blackett.

But anyway, hoping Di Maria isn't there purely so that he's ready for Sunday and not because he's had a set back. Also thought Wilson might have got a start today for similar reasons but perhaps LvG wants to play Falcao into form.

Trond

Delighted to see Pereira on the bench. Felt he deserved a chance before now.

As for Blackett V McNair given their ages, respective experience Im not sure how anyone could have Blackett as the better prospect. People seem to be forgetting McNair against Everton and West Ham not so long ago.
