Match Thread: wba v Manchester United

nur nur nur nur nur nur very very young very young very very young

Rio's out for 6 weeks, Vidic two weeks, Evra back next week. Not that bad, but the experience factor might see Carrick & Berbatov back in the side at Welbeck & Cleverley's expense.

It's against Spurs, FFS. You know, "the immutable law of the ex" and all that

i dont think he can leave cleverley out after that, especially for £#%&!ing carrick.

i reckon it will be 4-3-3 with rooney young and nani, anderson cleverley and another.

He's gonna be a top player.

Might shoe-horn Carrick in there then. But Spurs play with width so sticking Carrick in the middle wont exactly arrest any issues we face.

I'd go with the same side, Evra back & probably Fabio at right back, Jones & Smalling in the middle, Evans might be slightly ahead due to experience but those two have an understanding from the u-21's & any stability in front of De Gea is a positive.

i think evans will play. he has looked extremely assured in the last two games.

cleverley will definitely play; well, he definitely should. impressive again today.

de gea though. :shakehead: he is very young and will come through this but nightmare start for the lad. vdv will be peppering shots at him next week

good win today. rooney looks in great knick and young was very dangerous.

Like in the 2nd half when the west brom defender almost flipped him over, Smith and Tyler criticising him for it, and they did the same when Long elbowed him in the face. Bunch of @#%&!s, much like the fans who have written him off already.

let them. Andy Cole got 100 times worse, so if the kids got anything about him he'll just keep his head down, learn english pronto and train his %@#$&!s off.

Needs to put some meat on his bones as well.

Smalling and Nani has not worked at all, and the Rooney, Welbeck pairing had little success. I would like to see Berbatov and Rooney back as a pair against Spurs.

was thinking the same pal; looks decent

Cleverley is going to be a top player.

He's so clever.

As someone has said, I think against Spurs he might go 4-3-3 with Hernandez still being out, he might play Rooney, Young and Nani as a 3. He'll put Carrick back in for his experience, even if Vidic and Rio were fit I think he would play Carrick against Spurs 'cos it's a bigger game, and if he plays 4-3-3 he can play Cleverley too.
