*OFFICIAL* Match Thread - Arsenal v Manchester United 22/11/14

No herrera, no mata, fellaini starts and a return to 3-5-2. Anyone else but LvG doing this and they would get crucified.

If we lose today the first LVG out calls will come. It will be hard to argue against them tbh even if we would be nuts to sack him. This unecessary experimenting pisses me of though, why make things harder when this is already a rebuilding job and we got tons of injuries.

Why 3 at the back, looks like a back 4 to me, Valencia, smalling, blackett and shaw.

This. Otherwise we have an hour of nappy soiling to put up with

De Gea/ Valencia Smalling Blackett McNair Shaw/ Fellaini Carrick Di Maria/RvP Rooney

MUFC subs v AFC : Lindegaard, Fletcher, Herrera, Young, Mata, Januzaj, Wilson.

are Herrera's ribs still broken? or is this another injury?

with whats available thats an alright team imo, RVP upfront on his own might give him more space to operate in

lets see, as bad as we've been defensively etc i still think we can get a result against Arsenal

Man Utd: De Gea, Smalling, McNair, Blackett, Shaw, Carrick, Valencia, Fellaini, Rooney, Di Maria, van Persie. Subs: Mata, Januzaj, Lindegaard, Young, Ander Herrera, Fletcher, Wilson.

Last time i watched blackett we conceded 5 against leicester and he made vardy look like romario.

Well at least there's no Young so thank god for small mercies

thank god the boxing's on anyway so i can just switch straight over and forget about this.

I dont mind mcnair in a 442, he has looked impressive.

But piling kids and trash like smaling and valencia into a 5 man defence is £#%&!ing stupid....

Huge question mark over lvg for me now. If we lose he will get hounded and it will be hard to defend him even if i wont agree with the inevitable "sack sack sack" frenzy.
