Don't think they'll be far out.

4–5–1?!

God I hope so. Then when we get bummed 4-0 I hope OC realises that that doesn't mean 4-4-2 was right, just that 4-5-1 stopped it being 8-0.

If this is the team then I see Mavies playing in between the striker and the midfield... Just wish he'd feck off pickin Muamba, can't he see how poor of a football he is!

I say, especially after reading the OC interview in FFT, go 4-4-2 and go out swinging. If they score 8 we might score 4.

ok....VERY ambitious! But if you can't be confident then what's the point in sitting through the game expecting a hammering

You're gearing yourself up for a disappointment! If you expect a hammering and it's a draw or a win you're pleasantly surprised, and if it is a hammering it's not too bad :)

I can see half of that result being right

My worry is, I'm not sure how much of our defence we can shore up in time to give Man Utd a game. And I fear our inability to keep the ball will cause us to suffer.

All they need to do is rock up with a 4-5-1 with a central midfield packed of the likes of Andersen, Giggs and Cleverley and I fear another case of rolling over and having the tummies tickled.

Tuncay has tweeted that he 'has a feeling', I don't see how we could lose this now.

Just had a teener bet with one of 'em that it'll still be 0-0 at 5 o'clock.

Like taking candy from a baby. Should I feel bad about taking advantage of their general know-nowtness?

Its his own fault. Texted me we'd be crying at 5. I said we wouldn't as it'd be 0-0. And even helped him out with a smiley. He reacted by saying how the f*ck could I think that as they're ace and will smash us. So asked him to put his money where his mouth is.

Cruelty to dumb animals really.

Yuuuup, well, you did feel the need to start an entire thread about an off hand comment by a vacuous WAG reported by a bottom feeding rag-tag journo, so I'm gonna hold off on giving a shit.

But seriously, if we go 4-5-1 and get beat, I hope it doesn't mean OC discards the idea and reaffirms his marriage to 4-4-2. An exaggerated version of which is apparently one of the worst posts you've seen. Oh my.

Still prefer us to stick with 4-4-2 at home. I can't see how we could markedly improve on our form there last season. Its away thats the issue, not the formation per se.
