Predicted line up for tonight


DDG
Valencia-Bailly-Rojo-Blind
Carrick
Herrera-Pogba
Mky-Zlatan-Rashford

Cant see Bailly starting. Especially after going off against Everton but didnt look bad. So I'll go for Jones. Im thinking maybe Fellaini for Herrera aswell simply because he scored against Wigan and Jose seems to like him. Other than that spot on.

I just call it the league cup aswell. If I had to pick a name it would be Coca Cola

The best was the first time it was sponsored when Milk got in on the act. Ten foot tall inflatable bottle of milk on the half way line before games. F City and their banana bunkum. Milk got in there first with the inflatables! (As an aside, SO glad we never got involved in that. That WAS proper whopper *****. The 'inflatable' period.). New trophy to go alongside the original one. I'd of just of loved to of been in that marketing meeting at the Milk Board back in 1981 ...... 'So lads, I've got this boss idea on what we can blow all our years marketing budget on ..... '

Remember being in awe as a kid as this gigantic bottle of milk being held down by a couple of fellas thinking 'and we get tiny bottles at school. That's ***** that!' (Before the ***** took free milk away but that's another story.) Mad times.

Na can't see Fellaini starting after playing 90. Bailly was just a precaution according to Nicky ****.

Lead to all sorts of fights at ours cos' any blue milk monitors used to try swerve any red kids and vice versa.

The primary 'playground milk wars.' Happy days haha.

I would've thought you would hate any inflatables on the pitch Scouse

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

Just referees that don't know the rules about such things!

So the lad over the page wasn't wrong on Martial being benched then.

It was obvious because Mourinho said he would be.

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

See if Ladzar has anything to his game he's not shown much of in England to press. I have a mate who spends a lot of time in Portugal (retired naval guy) who insists he's got everything to be a top class winger from what he showed at Benfica.

Still waiting.

Completely in control, had a great chance through Pogba, Hull looking a bit panicky on the ball, surely it's only a matter of time.

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

Silva's got Hull boxed off superbly. Living up to his pedigree. Just lacks the quality on the pitch where it matters which makes off loading who they have after bringing him in all the more head scratching.

In control whilst being absolutely no threat. There was only the Pogba chance that was serious for Hull/ of any real quality and he made that way too easy for the keeper. Should of gone across him.

Need to up the tempo.

scouse is spot on,too slow and no penetration.one or two need to up their game quick time or jose will change it

I was just thinking he could well make a few changes half time here and get Martial and Rooney on. Don't know what he's been like at making changes at Utd but he certainly wasn't slow to switch things his time at Chelsea when it was this pedestrian.

 

[djs1]

i expect him to give it ten minutes or so and if theres no change martial will be on

 

[RhQQ]

Not overly worried tbh. We've controlled the game, patiently awaiting the goal against a well organised but tiring side, which could open the floodgates.

feel sorry for phil jones,another injury setback
