Hopefully a 3 man midfield.

Jaysus Arsenal 2-0 down at home to Watford. Have to win today.

Vic Vinegar

FA cup is there for the taking. Only thing is, we suck.

Rossi IRL

Surely thats an attack of
Lingard - Herrera - Martial
Rashford


Carrick and mop top dont fill me with confidence together in midfield.

I hope Fellaini is playing deep and ander is the number 10 instead of the other way around.

This is the first game of our next four game win streak come on united.

I'm hoping we see Carrick playing deep with both Herrera and Fellaini further forward but still in contact with. Him, like we did earlier in the season.

Hopefully Rashford up top too. Can do a job out wide but there's already too many players playing out of position week in week out. Would like to see him in his natural position if he's going to be given a bit of a run in the team.

Can't remember Jones being so injury prone before he joined us. What would it say about the club and the medical staff/training methods in particular if Jones left and had a long successful career at another club.
He had such potential when he joined. Really thought he and Smalling were going to be our defensive pairing for years to come.

He was a teenager joining us in fairness, and he does seem to injure himself alot by throwing himself in to tackles and stuff in a very haphazard and wreckless way a lot of time

Edit: He did do his cruciate at Blackburn which may be a factor in his injury problems since you know

StringerBell

Not a fan of that team tbh, ah well heres hoping!

Yes that would make sense but lvg won't see it that way.

Not in the slightest bit confident or optimisitic last time I felt like this was the Arsenal game.

Given our record against top and lower teams the FA cup just got harder with Arsenal about to go out (Arsenal score just as I post )

RobertKK

Welbeck scores :pac:

adox

Someone mentioned Welbeck?

J. Marston

And that's exactly why we sold him.

RobertKK

This finish in the Arsenal/Watford game is like the Cork v Kilkenny hurling game last night.

Best and worst of Welbeck cameo

Me haha i knew it would come back on me but thankfully he also showed why he is such an average player too.

Korat

We're going to win today. It's realistically our best chance of a trophy and we're at home. If the players aren't up for a game like this then sell them all in the summer.

If they weren't up for the game last Thursday...

West Ham are a better team than Pool right now, and arguably in way better form than Arsenal. And with Carrick and Fellaini as our midfield duo, which has never worked well, I'd not be surprised to see him beat us handily enough.

Be interesting to see what sort of a reaction follows if/when they do knock us out at OT...

TheDoc

Jesus H Christ Carrick AND Fellaini in a midfield holding two. ****ing hell.

I'm absolutely bricking it now.

So many slow players in the middle at least Ander is there instead of Mata.. Love Mata but he is painfully slow and weak..

When has Fellaini ever played in a holding role?

Andy Carroll vs Blind

You could also say judging a player based on one missed chance shows why someone is an average poster.

Welbeck has been excellent for Arsenal recently considering he was out for 10 months with injury. Bagged another goal for them today and was unlucky not to score the equaliser too. It was hardly an open goal. He just didn't wrap his foot around it enough. Poor miss. Show me any striker in history who hasn't missed similar opportunities.

Apparently Blind has been warming up at LB with Rojo in the centre.

Jaysus. Really poor challenge on Martial.

Yeah but it's early so it's apparently grand.

And here we go into "Lets forget how to defend" mode.

Martin Tyler said on my stream that there was no card, looks like there was.

That was a dive by Reid there.

Center backs always get away with them sort of dives.

Atkinson is an awful pain in the arse sometimes.

Liam McPoyle

We are playing so bloody deep, it was the same the other night. The few times we actually got an attack going Thursday it ended up with Martial completely isolated.

Ander Herrera wrecking my head on Sunday

J. Marston

0-0 draw here, get knocked out on a probably rainy Tuesday evening 1-0 in the replay.

ElChe32

Shouldn't be on the f*cking pitch.

J. Marston

Would rather lose this than draw and replay. Just want this season done with.

Kerrydude1981

The pain goes on

He'll happily shoot skywards from 30 yards out but won't have a crack from inside the box. :mad:

KH25

Think we deserved the draw at least. Crap first half as always. Atkinson must have had money on West Ham, he was disgraceful.

RobertKK

Probably a fair result.

Thought Schweinsteiger was good on his return.

adox

Lol. Owen thought it was a brilliant game.

Better performance than Thursday but that's not saying much.

I though it was another disappointing performance.

Crimson King

If he wins a cup he might keep his job so I'm in two minds on today's resist tbh

Giggsy11

**** the replay, West Ham away is a tough place and with our away form there is not a hope we will qualify. Should have made the home tie count.

Also this means still there are reasons for not sacking Van Gaal which is a big shame.
