I think if blind plays today he will get absolutely battered in the air by Rondon.

jayo26

Hoping for a good solid win today 2 nill united a brace from martial.

Rossi IRL

Depay, Varela and Sneiderlin dropped and replaced by Darmian, Lingard and Carrick

Very Surprised by all 3

Dave
Darmian - Smalling - Blind - Rojo
Carrick - Herrera
Lingard - Mata - Martial
Rashford

NUTZZ

jayo26

I feel for varella he has been one of our best performers hasn't done much wrong but darmian has been solid mostly too.

Then it will be Berahino pace vs Blind.

I reckon we should of played Smalling and Rojo as the center backs and Varela and Darmian as the full backs.

Its so harsh dropping Varela, maybe he is tired though.

StringerBell

Don't see it as dropping any of them, they probably all need a rest, and more but not in a position to rest everyone who needs one.

Jesse coming back in at least sees Martial moving back to one of his two best positions. He really doesn't look at ease playing on the right.

Varela was caught out a few times too far up the field in the last game but I think it is a case of resting players rather than dropping them. The one you could question is Morgan, as he's played feck all really, but I've no problem with that as he's been mediocre so far this season IMO.

LuckyGent88

Hope we have improved on our set piece defending from midweek where we were all over the place.
West brom are very strong at set pieces and that's where they will target today.

Shocked that Memphis isn't playing as he has just began to show some form.

2-1 to United

edit....Dirt

What is the point of playing those short corners when they end up going back tot he halfway line?

Rossi IRL

These short corners have got to stop.

wandatowell

2-1 to Utd

Korat

What has happened to the Martial who used go for goal instead of taking two or three touches before passing the ball sideways?

LVG's bloody philosophy that's what.

Quandary

Poor start from Utd but not surprising. We've reverted back to the slow laboured buildup with no end product.

Rossi IRL

Think I seen Varela out there for a little warm up.

PhlegmyMoses

Horrendous stuff so far.

Back to this ****

Lingard is also terrible and I dont care what anyone says.

(this post may contain hyperbole)

Rossi IRL

FFS Blind always coming up putting pressure on and then is out of position.

He is centre back, WHY was he left wing there.

He is terrible but he has scored a few goals for us, (5th in our list of scorers this season)

Ya bitta pace but poor decision making and poor execution

Mars Bar

Got away with that even if it was offside.

Osmosis Jones

Looked level but he'll be delighted it was given as offside, bad miss.

The thing with Lingard is thst when he doesn't score he brings very little else to the table.

This has been truly awful stuff so far from Utd.

LuckyGent88

Stop giving stupid free kicks away

I dislike Mike Reilly

He retired years ago.:) and he was good to us.

But yh i hate Mike Dean too

Oh mata...

LuckyGent88

Oh sweet jaysus

Soooooooooooooo ****ing stupid

Rossi IRL

WTF 2 yellows for fcuk all.

Joke of a ref, could of given him a warning there.

Harry Palmr

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Still take some solace from Liverpool - who were much better with 10 men

TitianGerm

Absolute brain-dead from Mata on two occasions.

Mars Bar

That pure brainless moronic ****e.

Osmosis Jones

Two of the most idiotic bookings I've seen in a while, and I watched Milner get sent off earlier!

PhlegmyMoses

He was ****ing spoiling for that Dean. What and absolutely useless ref

monkey9

I was about to say that Mata was such an idiot for that first yellow card. No need for it whatsoever. Putting himself under pressure like that.

Then that! He's an idiot.

Lord TSC

Don't know why people are attacking the ref there. Both were easy cards to give. Red got it spot on, sadly.

Turtyturd

No complaints there, fairly wild swing.

Quandary

Hilarious.

The Mata red card will now deflect from how appalling this performance has been and LVG will be spared the criticism if Utd can salvage anything from the game.

Eh...the first yellow was the warning.

A good ref gives some leniency. Dean has never been that kind of ref. A warning for the second challenge would have been fair enough, you see it all the time. But Dean has always inserted himself into matches. Its what he does.

Two yellow card offences. Ref was spot on both times.

No need for either but Mata put himself in a position to make the ref make a decision. Especially the second because the WB player was going nowhere.

LuckyGent88

What a comedy weekend for brainless red cards.

Coquilan, Milner and now mata.
