Alert: FA Cup: West Ham v Manchester United - Jan 5 [R]

What is the point of that bench, you can bring at most 3 on if something goes wrong, what is the point of filling a cup game match with rescue players.

 

ITV's caption now has Smalling behind Rafael on the right, Buttner behind Kagawa on the left, and Cheech/Welbeck up top in a 4-4-2.

Will someone bloody confirm it!!

 

I knew it.

 

Team sheets submitted to the match officials in different competitions have different stipulations and allowances. For most competitions it is enough to list the xi and bench, so most predicted lineups are guesses.

We won't see it, but with the players selected, 352 actually makes sense/could work.

 

I think Kagawa has a free role. He just seems to be running all over the pitch.

 

3 minutes in and I still don't know what it's meant to be.

Rafael in DM and on the right at the same time, Kagawa, Welbeck, and Cheech wherever they want to be.

 

what is this barcachester united crap that's going on out there.

 

Nice touches but no penetration yet.

 

Almost

 

smalling is already a better on the wing than the recent valencia performances.

 

:|

 

Typical stuff. Got away with it there.

 

What is of use of playing rafael in midfield, don't we have one youth player we could gamble on.

 

Was a gun header by vida.

 

Take a shot kagawa

 

Those kind of passes is why I want to give Kagawa a chance as our playmaker.

 

Winger? Not really.

 

Vidic looks like bambi on ice out there.

 

Have you ever seen Powell or Januzaj play?

 

Physical presence is peasant code for persistent fouling.

Really not sure what we are on about with this shape.

 

Great header by Vidic. Unlucky.

 

Vidic header cleared off the line. Unlucky.

 

Cleverley yes

 

West Ham unsurprisingly playing Bolton football.

EDIT: Aaaand United score.
