Early KO is United away to Burnely

#mufc starting XI: De Gea, Jones, Evans, Blackett, Valencia, Young, Fletcher, Di Maria, Mata, Rooney, van Persie.

Whilst it reads nicely in terms of talent fielded in an attacking sense, this side
is ridiculously unbalanced... Fletcher, Di Maria and Mata as a midfield three?

Would fancy a better side to take this side apart, shame Burnley most likely won't be
able to.

For what it's worth, I'd imagine if the incomings have finished at United, this will be
the XI they will go for when everyone is fit, granted LVG sticks to 3-5-2

De Gea,
Smalling, Jones, Rojo,
Rafael, Herrerra, Blind, Di Maria, Shaw
Rooney, RVP


Really not sold by United and the 3-5-2 in the premier league.

I can see teams destroying that midfield 3.

Haven't checked but I'd love us to be playing Utd soon.

Edit : No, the usual Christmas/New Year fixture.

These CB's.. Blackett has gone long about 5/6 times already. Is this LVG's Premier League tactic?

The 352 is similar to a 41212 (when attacking)

The DM is essentially a CB in the 352. he is suppose to dart balls around.

The 3 at the back just destroys confidence in england. I have seen careers destroyed because of players not being able play the role properly.
