West Brom vs Manchester United Match Thread. 20/10/'14 20.00 Sky - Mod Warning in OP

Cantona's Collars

Manchester United have never lost at West Brom in the Premier League (W7, D1).
There has only been one draw in their past 18 top-flight meetings at The Hawthorns - the 5-5 draw in May 2013, Sir Alex Ferguson's last game in charge.
West Brom have only beaten the Reds once in the Premier League (D3, L12).

Victory at The Hawthorns would see United win three consecutive league games for the first time in 2014.
However they are without a win in their past five away league games - their worst run since 2001. It is 18 years since they went six away games without a win in the Premier League.

MOD NOTE: Discuss the game if you want, but start bringing up Liverpool and expect the cards to start up. This goes for both sides. Discuss the game.

We will concede and I think it will be tough but United to come through 1-2.

GavRedKing

Utd by 2 at least

Utopia Parkway

2-2

LostBoy101

United will pull this one through with 2-1.

Should be goals. Dodgy defenses

kryogen

Mad to think we went 6 away games without a win in the league under Fergie at one point.

That means West Brom will win tomorrow.

3-1 United. Falcao, Di Maria and RVP with the goals.

Glock Lesnar

Can Falcao score against west Brom? Yes
Can ADM? Yes
Can RVP? Yes
Mata usually gets one when we're hammering someone.
They'll probably score one.

Prediction 4-1

Lord TSC

Rayne Wooney

This game will be entertaining to say the least

Nolars

4 - 2 to the the Utd, come on!

More than likely we will start well and then phase out if going on form.
It would be nice if we actually managed to kill the game off. Should be Plenty of goals.

Need to keep an eye on Berahino as his form has been great of late.

Aye, hopefully with all LVG's talk of killing off games we can look a bit better in the last half hour today.

Need Falcao to score a few, Fantasy football captain

jamesbere

I predict 5-5 with 4 own goals and 3 penalties to keep the trend of the weekend going.

Rumours Falcao is on the bench.

And Di Maria. Would be mad if true.

Copper_pipe

United starting XI: De Gea, Rafael, Jones, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Herrera, Januzaj, Mata, Di Maria, van Persie #mufclive

Lord TSC

No Falcao.

Mantis Toboggan

Jones is back

Jones had a fantastic start to the season until he got injured. What's the for?

Lucas Hood

Like the look of that team Once Jan is out wide and not playing up top.

Van gal...'you have to pay attention' :P

Can't bring the ball out of defence, can't pass and is liable to make rash tackles in every game and brings a nervousness to the defence.

Having said that he's probably the best of a bad lot.

Hidalgo

Don't expect Utd to keep a clean sheet but they should have enough firepower to get 3 points.
If West Brom could keep di Maria quiet then they're a great chance if getting something from this game
1-3 for me.

madcabbage

Utd need to win well here I think. Build momentum for the next two big games coming up. 3-0 Utd RVP and Di Maria to get on the scoresheet.

Will I Amnt

Jamie Carragher, please don't say Buckley ever again.

Liam O

I had a feeling Januzaj was due a start but thought it'd be Mata who made way. Was Falcao far off on international duty?

If Evans was in for Jones it'd be the best back 4 United have imo but better than has been the case this season for today anyway.

They're saying RVP had two more days over Falcao. He must be jetlagged.

RobbingBandit

4-2 United, Phil Jones to get the 4th goal.

Not on this form. Evans has been muck this season.

Insult to muck.

Jones was our player of the month for August before he got hurt. Evans was a walking disaster of massive proportions....

Francie Barrett

With the attacking talent United have, they really should be battering West Brom.

Mantis Toboggan

Not sure how you come to this conclusion since he's only started 3 league games this season and kept a clean sheet in two of those.

While I like Jones he's gone backwards since fergie left and this season could be his most important in terms of his career.

Liam O

Possible 4-3-3 here I feel.

Rayne Wooney

It looks like Van Gaal's signiture 4-3-3

Makes no sense not to have a predator like Falcao in that lone spot, van Persie needs to step it up

GavRedKing

Looking forward to this....

Chagan

Good god this game has been a long time coming. Think this could be the night where it all clicks together for us.

Good start from west brom

Glock Lesnar

What's that chant? Very good crowd.

Liam O

Are United going to shìt the bed everytime they get the ball for the whole game?

Zico

What are the away fans singing?

Harry Palmr

WISDOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM with the assist?

Ah no via Dorrans.

Lord TSC

Horrid start. Was coming from kickoff.

GavRedKing

what a good team goal, well deserved too

Lucas Hood

Funny that Herrera seems to be getting more forward the Mata so far.

Decent goal.
