arsedocmd

http://www.livescore.com/soccer/2016-11-19/ for schedules. early game. Better go good else the weekend could be screwed. Fourth placed (2points off the top) vs 6th place(6 points behind us). Apparently we haven't won at Old Trafford in the league in 10 years.

Their team news for now from their site -[size=x-small][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]One man who is definitely out is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]suspended for one game[/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif] after picking up his fifth booking of the season against Swansea. The Swede’s absence means the likes of Rashford, Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney could feature up front, though [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]the captain will be assessed[/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif] after missing England’s friendly against Spain with a minor knee injury. Eric Bailly and Antonio Valencia are still sidelined and Marouane Fellaini (calf) is doubtful, while both Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw remained at the Aon Training Complex during the international break after missing the win at Swansea[/font][/size]

In the next 11 days we play PSG, bournemouth and southampton , all at home. Will Alexis play?

Not looking forward to this.

First thought of Rooney up front against us was 'we can't possibly be that lucky', but my second thought was that the wanker usually scores on us.

i'd be happier about united's injury crisis if we didn't have a history of shitting the bed against some the most appalling sides they've put out.

i've also felt our form has been generally sliding in the last few fixtures. i think this might be the fixture that confirms we're in a mini-slump

He's suspended actually. It might not be a good thing considering the way he's had them play lately though.

Don't remind me about the 7 defenders side they put out, or the youth team last year. Or maybe even the emirates one with Blackett 😆

Some of our displays at Old Trafford in recent times should be seen as a blot on the club's history.

It's a last chance for Wenger to put that right as well as his pitiful record against Mourinho. If he fails yet again, it's just confirmation that his time is well and truly up.

Not the first time we are saying these. Wouldn't matter to be honest. Even if we lost, we will still give him another chance to confirm if his time is well and truly up.

Goalkeeper - Cech

Quite sure we'll manage to balls this up

Hard to see us winning this. Wenger won't change his approach against Mourinho.

Rex

😆
Was for Dula's comment btw.

Is Mourinho really suspended? I thought he served his ban at Swansea.

Wenger needs to try something different here and otherwise it would be the same predictable loss.

Not keen on Jenkingson at right back. Should play 3 at the back and put Mustafi there. Jenks+Ramsey on the right would be one hell of a disaster.

United's defence is awful and we can't let them off.

I like this formation. Very pragmatic. Ramsey central is more dynamic and will cause United problems. I think Giroud might start ahead of Sanchez.

Wenger needs to come away from this like for like replacement policy because it weakens the team. Mustafi at right back is a stronger option than Jenks.

goon

Disagree there, I've never really liked the concept to weakening two areas of the team as a solution.

General

It's called pragmatism.

I'm not sure come think of it. I read in the paper yesterday that he was still banned for this but I haven't seen it anywhere else.

Klaus

Looking at the FA's list of suspensions, Ibrahimovic seems to be the only one from United who'll miss this weekend: http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/discipline/suspensions

The paper must have had it wrong then. I just figured Mourinho got an extra game for failed appeal or something.
