    You said Belgium have a chance of winning the world cup because Fellaini plays for them y/n?

    I didn't say they will win, i said they had a chance, there's a difference.

    Do you speak Flemish?

    His name means "hair tree" in northern Flemish dialect.

    I hope Mata scores on sunday, he's done everything but put the ball back of the net.

    You have to be a special kind of special to rate Fellaini over Henderson at the moment.

    He certainly walks around in midfield, this fella should try running.

    Question was just asked on our board, what Man Utd team/formation don't you want to see?

    I posted this.........

    ----------------De Gea
    ----------------------------------------
    -Rafeal---Ferdinand---Vidic----Evra
    ----------------------------------------
    -----------Carrick---Fletcher--------
    ----------------------------------------
    --------Mata--Fellani--Rooney----
    ------------------RVP--------------

    Using Fellani around the edge of the box as a target man feeding Rooney and Mata.

    Thoughts?

    It would probably work well, but id be amazed if he lined up that way, as if it all went wrong he would come under serious fire for playing Fellaini in the hole, and Rooney out wide. I can't see Moyes wanting to risk upsetting Rooney either by sticking him on the left. Ferguson used to make surprise tactical moves like that before big games, but he could get away with it because of who he was, but Moyes would be taking far to big a risk to try something like that, as he's already under serious pressure :biggrin:

    Central defensive suicide.

    I no longer consider Vidic a United player and shouldn't be considered for selection unless we're desperate. Rio shouldn't be used really either, got to go with the future.

    I would prefer to stick with what we've used last time out, which is with Fellaini and Carrick as a CM pair and Rooney, Mata, Januzal as a three (nominally) behind RVP.

    It's quite fluid and can fan out to 4 4 2 or 4 3 3 of 4 5 1 or whatever. It looked to me on the face of it what our front six should be and allows Welbeck or Kagawa to come into similar formations as and when.
