Match Day Thread Manchester United v Newcastle United - Build Up / Matchday Thread

If Sissoko is fit, I'd play -

----------------Mitrovic-----------
--------------Wijnal------------
Obertan---Tiote---Colback---Sissoko
Haidara---Colo---Mbeba----Anita
------------------Krul---------------

 

Good idea. I find this match day thread a bit negative and depressing. The way Nev has positioned it, you'd be forgiven for thinking that he doesn't believe our amazing new team and wonderful manager can pull off what should be an easy away win.

It's like he doesn't WANT the team to do well. If we do now lose this one,we should lynch Nev for spreading negativity around the club.

 

Sorry - just noted the injury list has him as doubtful. Trouble with Sissoko is that he doesn't really seem to have the concentration and discipline to play a central midfield role and I would rather see Wijnaldum in the attacking midfield role. If Sissoko is fit I would play him left or right side of midfield just because against United I think we actually need someone who will run with the ball and take some pressure off the defence. Obertan on a good day does this pretty well but he has already had one of those and another one is usually a while coming.

 

I have no problem with this. If we lynch all losing match day thread starters I am sure our results will improve.

 

I'll set up a rota.





I just hope we have enough forum users to last the whole season.

 

Easy win for Newcastle against a Pedro-less Man Utd, I believe in you barcodes!

 

The polling should be a very simple process. We set up a poll to see who we want to do the match day thread and then everyone votes. Two days later Trev declares himself the winner. Sorted!

 

This is a good idea.
It will save a canny bit of time for me as I have a busy September coming up.
Also... We should have some evil punishment for anyone who is voted to do a MDT and doesn't... Mwahhhhhh

 

Can't see us getting anything this weekend, regardless of how well we play, Man U look like they can grind out unconvincing victories this season, and Rooney needs a goal, so we're done for.

I'd play this team, move Sissoko back into the middle, hope Thauvin can slot straight in on either wing, and put Aarons or Obertan on the opposite flank and get Mitrovic on the pitch so he can't spend an hour getting frustrated on the touchline.

----------------Mitrovic-----------
---------------Wijnaldum------------
Aarons---Sissoko---Colback---Thauvin/Obertan
Haidara---Colo---Mbemba----Anita
------------------Krul---------------

 

Fenwicks window anyone?

 

As long as I don't get a game in early October. I would hate to be doing it for the whole month when we go on our winning run.

 

Good point..After our nightmare start getting stuck posting the match thread for an unbeaten 30 game streak isn't something to look forward too ..then next season still stuck but with champions league match posting too!...I'm off to support chelsea as they tumble down the leagues ..conference south here we come

4 -1 battering

 

Another defeat, the only thing we can do is keep calm and expect a pounding, but accept it's a long season and, at the end of it, a defeat at Old Trafford is expected.

 

Got a feeling we will win

 

We'll win 2-1

 

Yyyeeeeessss

 

Well if you two say it then it MUST be true.

 

They'll take a beating

 

Any update on the Sissoko 'injury' fellas?
