Time to try something different Mr Jose, something that will give our better players a better chance of flourishing.

De Gea
Valencia Smalling Blind/Bailly Shaw
Carrick/Blind
Herrera----Pogba
Rashford------------------------Martial
Ibra
​

If Martial's injured give Ashley Young a go (providing Mkhitaryan and Lingard aren't ready).

 

[Stevencc]

If Rooney starts I'm going to do something.

Something big.

Something big.

It getting to this stage already?

 

[Renegade]

0-1

Leicester simply a better team right now. Said it at the start of the season, it will take a while for United's new players to bed in, especially without a defined system in place (like Guardiola's). Dropping Rooney would certainly help the process along, get Mkhitaryan in there please.

 

[JimJams]

We're going to absolutely piss this.

 

[Bilo]

Rooney on the bench. United fans better hope for a fantastic performance so that he can't get back into the side.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Bloody hell, when was the last time Wayne Rooney was dropped?

 

[Bilo]

Will be very interesting to see Pogba with Herrera next to him. Think he might perform.

Bad performance or not Rooney as been absolutely awful and the Northampton game, I thought, showed his level. The media circus around his inclusion/exclusion from the starting XI has been absolutely ridiculous for the past few years, this is hopefully the beginning of everyone - as well as him - digesting the reality that he is not good enough to start week in week out and that he has fuckal to offer playing in midfield.

I'm mostly happy with the lineup. Herrera deserves a start but not quite sure he offers the balance we need in that midfield. We shall see.

I swear this dude is zlatan's Asian brother from another mother.

 

[JimJams]

No that's Danny Simpson mate. And he ain't Asian.

 

[Stevencc]

We won the corner that lead to the goal from a nice, QUICK, bit of play. Not seen that in a while.

 

[JimJams]

Not great that...

 

[JimJams]

Nice Rashford.

 

[Stevencc]

Oh, look.

A pacey counter attack.

Not seen that in a while.

 

[JimJams]

The goal has woken utd up. We're in too much of a rush.

 

[Stevencc]

Ibra should have made that 2-0 there.

 

[red_in_florida]

It's amazing how changing one player could do to a team. Remains to be seen how is he going to take it though.

 

[sl1k]

This is what I'm fucking talking about

Mata!

 

[JimJams]

Awful defending there. Though the passing was good we dropped off and just watched them playing it around.

 

[Stevencc]

Beautiful!

 

[Pagnell]

Such a sharp contrast to last season from Leicester, they've started even worse than I expected. You know things are bad when even United are finding it this easy against you.

 

[Pagnell]

3-0 now. Could end up being embarrassed here.

 

[Stevencc]

Magic!

 

[JimJams]

Capitulation.
We were so focussed on trying to get back into the game quickly after the first goal we have toally gone to sleep at the back.

 

[Bilo]

Dropping Rooney for Mata and Fellaini for Herrera has done wonders for United. As literally everyone everywhere predicted.

 

[Pagnell]

Oh dear.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

It's almost like that Rooney was holding the team back...

 

[JimJams]

Fucking hell.
Totally lost the plot this game.
