Not bad but Herrera in for Blind or Carrick.

If Rafael is out then it's 3 at the back again

1-1

Real madrids next keeper
Smallingbaur
Duncan Edwards
Tattooed Argie
Fat arse boy band member
No smile
Slack jaw
Glass ribs
I did a great pass to RVP in the World Cup
Wiggy
LVGs whipping boy

I'm actually quite interested to see us without RvP

.................De Gea................
Rafael....Jones..Rojo....Shaw
...Herrera..Carrick..Blind....
.......Di Maria......Mata.........
................Rooney................

Could easily switch formations with Carrick dropping back and Herrera and Blind reforming the pairing that did well against them at OT.

Drop Carrick then. Give as many of next seasons title winning side a game as possible.

We should go with 4-4-2 that beat qpr so well at our place.

get some pace in there, some balance, play our best players in their best positions. so get rooney further up, get Di Maria down that left, get Falcao up front with good service, get Shaw at left back not left wing back, get fellaini castrated.

I fear it will be 352 again with plenty of control and little bite.

struggles in away games. I'd rather have the pace and zip of Herrera and Di Maria.

It won't happen though.

I have faith in lvg long term, but I don't have faith in him picking the right line up or making the right changes atm.

This is another game where our personnel should be too strong for the opposition, but one I fear we'll plod though again

---------------------De Gea---------------------

Rafael----Smalling------Rojo------Shaw

----Herrera---Carrick---Blind----------

--Januzaj-------------------------Di Maria

----------------Falcao----------------------

I'd stick Rooney up front where he should be but he'd just trap the post off the £#%&!ing screen.

DDG

Rafael---Jones---Rojo---Shaw

Herrera---Carrick---Blind

Di Maria

Rooney---Falcao

The full backs would be told to really push on and Carrick/Blind would drop back to cover them.

Di Maria told to play wherever he wants.

That pretty much sums up my feelings.

I'm pretty sure it'll work out but his stubbornness with this formation is really starting to piss me off.

I think he's still learning about the league to some extent

Need to play a more conventional formation that suits the players and plays them in positions they are more comfortable in

Not sure about Mata as part of a front 3 but Januzaj just hasn't played well enough to be selected
Januzaj needs to come on in the last 20 / 25 mins in games that we have already won to find his old form and confidence however there so few games against anyone where we are actually comfortable enough to do that

From now on we should only play with one centre forward so that means only selecting one of Rooney, Falcao and van Persie
Rooney can "do a job" in other roles but let's be honest we have players who play those roles better
Stick Rooney up top and get him doing what he does best which is score goals
