Re: Manchester United v Leicester
There is something to take from it. Hopefully it leads to Vardy, Drinky and King having some time off. It was good job we had that last twenty minutes as the confidence won't be as badly affected and that goal could be massive for goal difference.

Did not press high enough up the pitch. Nugent looked more of a threat than Ulluoa and Krameric. Shame van Gaals checked out TB and switched from a back 3 to a back 4!

3-1 to Man Utd.
Van Persie, Falcao and Morgan OG for them, Wasilewski for us.

Re: Manchester United v Leicester
Agree. Will help confidence, and also (hopefully) show the team that should be starting.
Are we pretty much agreed that the first XI atm should be today's, with Albrighton, James, and Cambiasso in for Vardy, Drinky and King?

Re: Manchester United v Leicester
On another note.
Van Persie was half a yard offside quite clearly. Had it been rightly disallowed and it was 2-0 at half time and 2-1 at 80 mins I believe we could've had a very different spark.
At 3 nil down the belief is almost gone but not at 2. This may sound like excuses but it really isn't. The first goal was offside and that might have changed the complexity of the game.

Re: Manchester United v Leicester
Close but I'd drop De Laet, play Schlupp at left back and keep one of the central midfielders.
Simpson Morgan Was Schlupp
Albrighton Cambiasso Hammond Drinkwater
Kramaric Ulloa

What makes you think they'd have scored two goals if they hadn't got the offside one?
We might have gone straight up the other end from the resulting free kick and taken the lead. Or we might have lost 5-0.

I don't like that. Drinkwater left wing? And Schlupp is a real threat in that position, so why hold him back?

Re: Manchester United v Leicester
I think Schlupp is our best left back. I also think he has to be in the side.
I also think Albrighton, Ulloa and Kramaric should be in the side.
We need 3 proper midfielders in the side.
In essence I'm sacrificing De Laet/Konchesky to accommodate for a third midfielder.
It's basically the system we used in Div 1 when Oakley played right midfield all season.
