Utd Build Up Thread

Recommended Posts

Romeu and Mane back in. I'd also stick with Rodriquez as hopefully he'll get better with more minutes under his belt. Plus we will be able to play more counter attack football and the pace will be welcomed.

 

Fancy a result as Utd have looked somewhat ordinary this season. Will be interesting to see how they fair against an ordinary Liverpool.

 

2-1 Saints. Ever an optimist.

I was just about to post this :p

 

Despite Davis' lack of goal threat, against a top 4 club like United we need him to link defence and attack :)

That'd be my team, but with Bertrand in at left back.

I think Davis is exactly the KIND of player we need in that position, unfortunately he lacks something in the final third. He was arguably our best player against Newcastle but for every game he plays well at the moment he has a couple (some would say more!) where he doesn't.

 

I really want him to prove me and most others wrong but I don't think JWP even fits into the category of being the right kind of player for that position, nor as a DM.

This but with Yoshida on the bench for Bertrand. If Ryan is fully fit he should start, if not I'd rather have Yoshi on the bench.

 

Shaw looked like Utd's best threat today against Liverpool, I think we need to keep him quiet. Put Mane wide right and push Shaw back into his own half.

 

At least we can't get mugged off by RVP this year.

No different to playing Wanyama and Schneiderlin. In fact from what we've seen, Romeu actually gets forward more and has a go at goal every now and then.

 

I agree.

United certainly looked strong in the middle of the park last night. Can see both Vic and Rom starting

I suppose Romeu does take the ball forward a little more than Wanyama but his instinct is still to drop close to the back four off it. Early days but he's not zipping the ball around like Schneiderlin did, and that's what you need next to Wanyama.

Ok, except I'd rather swap positions with Rod on wing and Mane central where he is a dangerous, creative and supportive threat behind Pelle

This, with Bertrand back in if he's fit.

 

Need Big Vic and Rom to be on it, United are starting to look much stronger.

Can't see how he can be fit.

Has not played a game for 3 months and has zero pre season.

 

Only back in full training tomorrow

 

I reckon we'll try and get him back quickly. He was obviously involved in some kind of training with the squad last week.

 

Will be interesting to see if he plays in the u21s game tomorrow.

Drop Davis and JWP and put them on a crash course how to shoot at a goal. Drop JRod. Bring in some goal scorers and creative players.

 

You don't beat Man Utd by sticking 4 up front....

 

Almost guarenteed it'll be Wanyama Romeu and Davis in midfield, flanked by Tadic and Mane with Pelle through the middle.

Not much point trying to predict the team, Ron keeps making bizarre choices with the starting line-ups and seemingly refuses to change things before the 70th minute.

 

However, ideally I would have Romeu and Mane in for JWP and Davis. Not sure JRod should be starting either.

Well, they're entitled to 3,200ish which, I thought, included Block 43 but that's on sale to Saints fans.

 

I know we've restricted them in the past as they've played up but don't think that's the case recently?

 

Only the handful of seats in 43 that are always on sale to home fans, the rest of the block is United as usual.

Davis is always first on your team sheet isn't he?

 

I like him, I think we're a better side when he plays, you just need to get the balance right around him, he's not going to win a game on his own, but he can certainly help not lose it.

 

More than happy for him to start the majority of games, even if he doesn't stay on. IMO him and JWP are fighting for one place, it's when they both play where we seem to have a problem.
