Any news on if the match will be delayed due to the train issues.

Dammit! I certainly did have a brain fart there

Ok leave out Fellaini/Mata and keep the rest

We would surely have a decent shot with 12 men though right?

I'd drop mata and play the ref

The club say no delay but seems there's chaos due to a train breaking down this morning.Fans were told to travel via Sheffield.

Falcao after scoring the winner today.

madcabbage

Dare I say it but would it mad to put Fellani in behind RVP with Di Maria/ Young as wide support? Presuming Falcao isn't selected today.

Valmont

I'm trying really hard to optimistic about this game. If Man Utd can get an early goal who knows what will happen.

We will sit back and invite them onto us more then likely!

Do any of you genuinely think we won't get top 4 this season? Who's going to take our place if so?

Any team with a decent defence should beat us at the moment, because we're like a wet paper bag at the back regardless of what we do in attack.

irishfeen

Nobody giving us an absolute chance today - oh it would be so Manchester United to surprise the whole fcuking lot of them - Come on to fcuk! 2-1 United, you heard it first..

Jones & Young also injured in training.Jones probably did his usual tackle,hurt Falcao & in the process hurt himself.

Looking like Smalling & Rojo as our CB's today.

shadowcomplex

Time for jones Evans and smalling to be shipped out , they can't be relied upon , can't stay fit and they can't have any arguments

KH25

Can't wait for this. We can get a result out of this!

shadowcomplex

We should offer b Dortmund 70m for hummels and subotnic

Jones is an absolute joke for injuries.

Jones definitely should be.

Will I Amnt

Jones is really starting to annoy me at this stage. Time to replace him as a first team player purely on his fitness issues.

KH25

I'd keep Jones as I think he is a decent player. Buy a top CB though.

When he plays,I swear the guy couldn't play FIFA without breaking his fingers.

Yeah he's some man for picking up injuries. That said I wouldn't ship him out. He may get over the habit. By all means lets buy 1 or 2 top CB's though.

I would also keep Evans as I think he's shown he can be very good and consistent for us. Smalling needs to step up big time though. He needs to show he can be good enough this season.

I miss Vidic. Jones, Smalling and Evans are too injury prone to ever be reliable centre backs.

J. Marston

We're probably going to make 45 year old Drogba look like a superstar today.

Feck my life.

You've gone too far with you fantasy lineups, Shadowcomplex. No way we're signing the baddie from Sonic.

Mr.Crinklewood

Jones makes Saha look like the bionic man.

I agree. Jones needs to be tougher for the way he plays. I've also heard an OPTA statistic that Man Utd could have paid for Di Maria with cash they've had to give to doctors and physios for Jones and Smalling over the years.

That's total BS though.

I'm surprised someone would swallow such a fib whole.

Mantis Toboggan

Jeez lads 50k a day and he's not even on the bench, any reasoning?

Edit: He's injured apparently.

You think the doctors have been paid over 59.7 million pounds over the last few years?

Jesus.

Cantona's Collars

United have not won any of the 11 Premier League games that they have been losing at half-time in 2014 (D3, L8)

Kinda ridiculous alright. At this stage Jones likely has a discretionary medical card so the doctors woulda been free.

If Jones, Smalling or Evans can't make a decent claim for a position in this back four then they should be sold at the end of the year.

We need squad players and the above players are well capable of stepping in. What I dont want to see is these players starting the very big games because I dont believe they are good enough.

Its mad Ted to even consider selling all those players

Evans has nothing to prove, he has preformed a high level for years now. He has been struggling with injuries and is admittedly in awful form, I'm confident he will return to form. He may not be world class, even on his day, but is good enough for a squad CB. On the other hand, Jones and Smalling still have everything to prove after quite a number of years, if both of them could actually stay fit for any decent length of time that would be a start. I wouldn't be sad or surprised to see either of them leave.

He's actually done quite well today, hold up play has been very good but still not quick enough in doing something with it.

kryogen

Thats whats holding him back right now, a small bit of indecision. I am hoping it will start to click for him soon though

Will I Amnt

Won't get a better chance to beat Chelsea than this, they are there to be got at. Could all change second half though.

Mr_Red

Who is Chelsea's current penalty taker at the moment?

These things happen in cycles. Liverpool had their day and Manchester United had theirs. Other teams come along. They'll start winning again in a few years.
