Match Day Thread Manchester United v Burnley

3pm kick-off, at Old Trafford on Saturday.

 

Matth's on a (cheese) roll

BTW I can't stress this enough. I love Saturday 3pm kick offs. We just don't get them enough in the season tbph.

 

I'd forgotten about the Fenerbache matchday thread. Matth is on a (swiss) roll

 

Keep going Matth, for the times they are a changing

 

Although it does mean you have to stream Fox Sports or some American BS channel in order to get live English commentary

 

Mobdro on a Firestick/box will do it

 

Fellaini will be getting lubed up already.

 

Methh is the matchday king Keep it up

 

I'm not but thanks though.

 

Fair point though I've cancelled my SS so stream anyway. I haven't been to a game this season but if I was to, I'd choose a Sat 3pm kick off every time if I could.

 

It's not that easy though, unless you 'chose' to go last minute and pay through the nose.

I had tickets for Arsenal and West Ham lined up. Took the idea that Arsenal would get moved to Sunday and that West Ham was unlikely to given it is Spurs v Chelsea the same fixture weekend. So, I went for West Ham tickets.

Which promptly got moved to half four on the Sunday while Arsenal stayed the Saturday, albeit at half twelve.

I've got Bournemouth lined up which so far is still Saturday at three but it's inevitable it will change. Last season I managed one three o clock on Saturday, Sunderland. It is far and away the best day and time to watch football.

I've got last game of the season booked which I know will not change as they are all three o clock kick off.

On the fookin Sunday!!

 

Yes mate, agree. I often get tickets the week before the game. Either through a friend or ticket exchange. It's getting more and more expensive though for me and the kids to go.

 

I love this guy....

Him and Mata are the two I see who feel every loss, and every win.

 

As I've said for years, when fit Herrera has to be in the team for so many different reasons. He was utterly wasted by Van Gaal.

 

I know he's stifled pretty much every attack he's come up against, but I do feel him and Pogba need to switch positions. Herrera to AM and Pogba to CM.

 

Hopefully this match will see the return of the Great Fellaini.

 

I think they need to be a pair of CM's. Neither defensive nor attacking specifically, just a traditional pair. Mata is in front of them as either the AM or the No.10, whichever anyone needs to refer it to, makes no odds.

We then have a front three of Martial, Zlat and Rashford.

Or Martial, Rashford and Lingard.

Or Rashford, Martial, Michytarian

Or Martial, Rooney, Rashford

Or Young, Martial. Lingard.


You get the drift.


With Schneiderlin, Carrick & Blind (and Schweinsteiger) as CM options as back up to Herrera and Pogba at CM in what universe do Fellaini or Rooney ever get the opportunity to play there?


It truly is at centre half where our real problems lie.

 

Yep

I also feel that we need a RB. Valencia can do a job but he'll always be exposed against the better clubs. Also the game against City has once again exposed his limited ability going forward. After a purple patch, his game is turning. His final ball the other night was absolute ****e. I expect him to get worse as the season goes on.

 

I do wonder why Darmian isn't given a chance. He looked decent at the start of last season then lvg put him at left back and his game went to **** from thereon.

He'll not get a run at right back with Valencia there though. Vicious circle.

 

He's Italian, he's a defender, and he has pace and ability going forward. What's not to like? Give the bloke a run of games AND develop his rough edges and inexperience.
