Manchester United vs Hull Match Thread k/o 3pm.(Not on Sky/Setanta)

Cantona's Collars

Possible Lineup:

jamesbere

Will he not try and revert back to 4 man defence

madcabbage

I somehow doubt it that LVG will deploy 3 at the back. Surely he'll make some sort of a makeshift back 4.

NUTZZ

Lucas Hood

De Gea
Smalling Carrick Rojo
Valencia Fellaini Rooney Young
Mata
Di Maria Rvp

Something like that? Odgen thinks Carrick is at cb.

I was thinking
_______________De Gea___________
________Smalling____Rojo________
Valencia __________________ Young
_____________Carrick______________
________Fellaini______Di Maria______
______________Mata________________
____________Rvp____Rooney________

NUTZZ

It says v Burnley on the top but the official Hull twitter put it up for todays game too.

I'd be very surprised if this isn't now they line out. 3/5 at the back just invites trouble.

Lucas Hood

Mutv have it as 3 at back with Mata and Fellaini in cm.

PhlegmyMoses

I think it'll be 3 at the back as well

Timmyctc

Does anyone think it might be three at the back?

Hopefully cause that means Di Maria in the middle.

Liam O

Wilson injured?

Mongo

Why is McNair dropped and Carrick playing CB???

Looks like Carrick in midfield to me

Because it won't be a pure CB role. At home to Hull you want a more attack minded player there.

madcabbage

Back four with Carrick protecting says the commentary

Liam O

Clearest handball you're likely to see.

Robertson I think just stuck out his arm when it was going to Fellaini in the box.

Rojo handled it before him.

Di Maria and Rooney looking on good form. RvP looking like he's lacking confidence again.

Di Maria holding his hamstring...

Please god NO!!!!!!!!

Chagan

Good Christ, Di Maria now?

PhlegmyMoses

He has to come off if he has a hammy twinge. Ffs

madcabbage

Ah FFS not Di Maria. Take him off and don't take the gamble please!!:(

Herrera warming up, I think Di Maria is done here..

Exactly, take him off if theres any doubt.

Yep, Di Maria off now for Herrera

RobertKK

So disappointing to see Di Maria injured, but at least we currently have options.

It's so nice to be able to take a quality midfield player off and bring a quality one on in his place though..

Liam O

First touches atrocious in the final third.

Goalline technology

Goalllll! Goal line technology gets it for us! Smalling

I heart goal line technology.

LostBoy101

Good man Smalling!

RobertKK

At least Smalling is making up for that performance we want to forget.

Hotblack Desiato

Hmm nobody made a score prediction before the game.

I'm going with 3-0 but would hope for more...

madcabbage

Woo hoo! God bless goal line technology!

Herrera has great awareness, always knows who's around him without looking.

Chagan

Ya goaline tech is all well and good but now we won't have anything controversial to chat with our mates about later(/Blatterlogic)

paulbok

Is it time to call in an exorcist or someone about the injuries?

Lord TSC

Just in. What did I miss?

Goalline technology gave us a goal that the ref or assistant in no way would have given without the tech. Di Maria did his Hamstring, or felt a twinge and came off for Herrera.

Hotblack Desiato

1-0 United (G. L. Technology)

The injury Gods have chosen Di Maria for their match day injury. They have gone for the hamstring this time.

Smalling goal thanks to goal line technology. Very scrappy goal.

We're playing pretty well off the ball, not making much with it.

RobertKK

I like Ashley Young under the new management.

Hotblack Desiato

Ah jaysus now Rooney is hurt...

Rooney down now...
