CSKA Moscow vs Manchester United RTE2/BT. K/O 19.45

Cantona's Collars

Possible Lineups:

Lord TSC

If Fifa has taught me anything, it's that CSKA will play "Park the Bus" and just hit massive long balls up to Doumbia in an effort to outpace everyone in the defence... :pac:

How come this game is on so late?? That must be 22.45 Moscow time.

Didnt they used to play a few hours earlier over there?

I would assume because playing it earlier would effect tv viewing figures from England, that's UEFAs bread and butter.

Think they have changed it now and it is only earlier Kick Off when the clocks go back, as it is the same with all Russian teams. Same with BATE both home games so far at 7:45 last one is at 5pm

Only team it seems to have an early start in all home games is Astana but then they are in Kazakhstan and that is over 3 hours away by plane from Moscow.

Thinking of doing a bet on this game - can't decide on Man Utd Double Chance or For the game to have less than 4 goals.

Any thoughts?

Don't bet on United games would be my foremost thought :pac:

Good balance to the Utd front 6. They should win this comfortably. 3-1

Is Blind injured/suspended?

Anyway. I'd like to see pretty much the same line up as we had on Saturday for this.

100% keep the back 4 as was with everyone playing in their proper positions. Hopefully Jones and Smalling can prove that they're not made of glass and the previous injuries were growing pains. I'm not Rojo's biggest fan but he's a proper LB at least and with him their we can keep Darmian at RB and Valencia off the pitch.

Carrick will likely come in for Bastian as is the norm especially with only a few days between games and this being a tough away. I'd keep Herrera and Morgan in beside him, changing those two would be madness and they should start every game. There is a chance in my mind that Fellaini could get the start here but I wouldn't like it.

Mata will start and I think I'd either stick with Martial on the right or bring Memphis back in and leave Martial on the bench from the start. Rooney has to start so I'd leave him up front.

Definitely under 4 goals. I'd say it will be very tight. 2 goals max!

2-1 to someone

Some pace on both wings for the first time in a while

Yes?

Why are they so clueless with team set up on BT?

Rooney is the striker not CAM, Martial on the left not Herrera....

Lord TSC

Wow, those jerseys clash badly.

Mr.Crinklewood

The bloody jerseys are clashing for my little eyes...

Rate was the same and said it was the UEFA line up provided.

I have a good quality version here and the jerseys aren't that bad.

Rooney is awful. What's he doing on the wing?

Ah jaysus. It's 6 minutes in. Leave the bashing for the first 15 at least

Penalty, should have been given.

How about we bash Basti for wearing gloves!! Keano would probably be frothing from the mouth if he was still around.

His movement is poor. All he wants to do is drop in to the hole and get the ball played to feet.
