Yeovil Town vs Manchester United Match Thread 4/1/'15 k/o 15.30 BT1

Cantona's Collars

This match ends a run of nine consecutive FA Cup draws where Man Utd have been paired with a fellow top-flight team.

Wayne Rooney has scored in each of his last five FA Cup matches (six goals in total).

Rooney has netted 11 goals in his last 14 starts and three more in his last five substitute appearances.

Man Utd have played Yeovil twice before, each time in the FA Cup, with the Red Devils winning 3-0 in 1938 and 8-0 in 1949.

Since beating Sunderland in 1949, Yeovil have lost their last eight FA Cup matches against top-flight opposition, failing to score in six of those games.

Manchester United have lost just one of their last 39 FA Cup matches against lower league opponents (W32 D6 L1).

Yeovil (from): Steer, Smith, Ofori-Twumasi, Moloney, Nugent, Arthurworrey, Edwards, Foley, Gillett, Hayter, Leitch-Smith, Eaves, Krysiak, Moloney, Brooks, Inniss, Smith, Berrett, Ralph.

United (from): De Gea, Lindegaard, Amos, Vermijl, Blackett, Shaw, Thorpe, Smalling, Evans, Jones, McNair, Rafael, Pereira, Fletcher, Herrera, Valencia, Lingard, Anderson, Carrick, Januzaj, Di Maria, Mata, Falcao, Rooney, Van Persie, Wilson, W Keane.

Yeovil form: WWLLL

United form: WDWDD

Huish Park is pretty agricultural and open to the elements I dunno what the weather will be like but keeping the ball on the bobbly ground could be vital.

Rayne Wooney

Falcao to score a billion goals

thelad95

DARK-KNIGHT

Airdrop is your only hope

Hope Falcao doesn't even play. Rest him looks knackered.

Lindegaard; Rafael, McNair, Blackett, Shaw; Fletcher, Herrera; Valencia, Rooney, Januzaj; Wilson


Try help some get fitness back and give others some experience.

Feck manners,overtaking lane all the way while flashing the lights at those in your way.
I do not condone this behaviour but when United are on,certain measures need to be taken.

Falcao needs games,he looked grand the other day an surprised to be taken off.It was RVP who looked knackered in comparison.

The missus is driving, she's no slouch in fairness. If i told you how much I had to drink last night you might get drunk reading it.

Hoping and assuming (with lack of CL etc)) that we will have a strong enough side out today

Copper_pipe

United XI: De Gea, Smalling, McNair, Blackett, Rafael, Fletcher, Herrera, Rooney, Shaw, Wilson, Falcao. #mufclive http://t.co/2fl2ozBz2g

Happy to see Rafael, Herrera and Shaw back in the lineup. Hoping Falcao and Wilson have a good game, Wilson has shown promise but no real contribution yet. Fletcher, well unfortunately this is the only kind of game he should be playing now.

Hank Scorpio

3 at the back against Yeovil

Strong enough team

Blatter

Utter bollocks from LvG if that's 5 at the back, which it probably is.

I'm holding out some hope that its Blackett at LB and Shaw on the wing.

Slowcoach!!!

I find playing 3 in defense with Rafael and Shaw back in the team strange frankly, they're the perfect excuse to play a flat back 4 which is what we play when we're at our best IMO, not to mention we're playing Yeovil.

Liam O

McNair at DM? (clutching at straws)

LostBoy101

Bang in a goal at the start and Yeovil will fall apart.

thelad95

I'm guessing Rafa and Shaw are the dreaded wing-backs with Rooney at 10. Would like to see Fletcher score today, this could be his last ever United start.

Blatter

Yeah, you can call it 5-3-2 as well, depends how you define the wing backs.

Ridiculous to line up with 3 CBs against Yeovil though.

Just hitting the M50 now, shouldn't miss much of it.

Fergie is at the game.

3412 to be pedantic

Curse of a system for this game, no need for it at all, no reason not to be playing a diamond here

Are we talking about you, or Anderson asking the team coach to take a detour

I hope your prediction is right, and doesn't turn out to be s**te

Peist2007

Enjoyed the Yeovil manager's interview, great to see the effect the cup still has at the lower levels

Lord TSC

Haha, Owen up on a scaffold...

sky88

Was mcnair not a former midfiedler could they not put him beside fletcher switch to the back 4 should be enough to beat yeovil

Nailz

Oh no... Michael Owen's the co-commentator.

Quandary

We might be vulnerable in the middle with Fletcher but you would have to think we should have enough to win the match.

No injuries please!!

Hank Scorpio

Howya Fergie, looking well

Cantona's Collars

Pitch looks decent,unlike Dover's earlier which looked like cattle had been on it.

Liam O

Just so everyone knows, Joe Edwards is a Man United fan.

Lord TSC

Yeovil will be knackered out after 20 minutes at this rate...

Mr.Crinklewood

I'm really struggling to see the ball.

Martin Tyler & Stewart Robson on fox sport.

Think we'd get a lot more joy with some wingers on the pitch.

Lord TSC

Smalling is looking so nervous for some reason...

adox

It is bizarrely difficult to see the ball.
