Manchester United vs Aston Villa League Cup 3rd round pre-match pintxos

[coreyfeldman]

yeah he was on loan for Emery's first season, then started well in his second. He scored against us didn't he?

[Dr Butler]

a win please Villa

A win with a couple (or three) of outrageously scummy refereeing/VAR decisions in our favour would be particularly sweet.

Spot on. We've had the hard graft win last year, we've outplayed them this year, now I want the kind of absolute jam festival, the total shithousathon they've inflicted on so many times over the years.

[TonyD]

It’s great to be really looking forward to matches again. 

[Clark W Griswold]

I'd just start with the same team as Sunday i think. Even though we're capable of it as we showed on Sunday i'm not confident of a win. Just a bit too good to be true and it is away of course.

[Luffbralion]

Dendoncker is cup tied. (As is Bednarek).

I'd start with Kamara in his place. I'd like to see Archer come on for a decent number of minutes. I think the Unai set up and patterns of play will suit our Cameron.

Also, thanks for the advice on where to park, guys.  Utv.

[Clark W Griswold]

Ah, i see. I think it would be Nakamba for me then, give him a run out. Kamara to come on at some point.

Not wishing to steal Legions glory here but we couldn’t go on Sunday for personal family reasons it’s the first home game we’ve missed for ages
And we go and beat them in for the first time in a million years

Bad news is we’re all going up on Thursday night so we’ve got no hope of a repeat result

[chrisw1]

Hopefully Kamara starts, but I'd suspect he'll be limited to around 60 mins by the medical team.  I can't see Nakamba being involved so will prob mean McGinn coming on to drop in alongside Doug?

Other than Kamara and possibly Digne coming back from their injuries (and any carrying a knock) I wouldn't be looking to manage minutes too much in this selection, it's only two games to the w/c break and they should really all be capable of that workload.

There will be players hoping for minutes, but I think Emery will really want to win this one so hopefully minimal changes to the starting line up.  Once we're 4-0 up then would be good to see Archer, Sanson and Chambers get some minutes.

[john e]

I think Sanson might start, just a feeling

Reckon the same. Think with his dribbling and general being-a-pest attitude, not to mention his, ahem, slight physique, he'd come in for the Buendia role rather than the Luiz role.

And he does all that pressing thing

You might be on to something there. That would be interesting to see.

[Monty]

I think we have a few players who could revive things in those wide midfield roles we had the other day. Sanson, McGinn, Coutinho...
