Team for Utd Away

[Z175]

McCarthy just tweeted, "on the plane to Manchester" - looks like he is in the squad then. Karacan tweeted the same

If they're using their mobiles on the plane this week could get a whole lot worse...

On a serious point brilliant news if he is fit to play

[TheWhisper]

I wonder, was Caricco on the plane?

[SCIAG]

I'd like:

Federici; Kelly, Pearce, Mariappa, Shorey/Harte; Guthrie, Carrico/Leigertwood, Akpan; Kébé, McAnuff, Hunt
Subs: Taylor, Morrison, Gunter, Leigertwood/Karacan, McCleary, HRK, Le Fondre

I expect:

Taylor; Kelly, Pearce, Mariappa, Harte; McCleary, Guthrie, Leigertwood, Akpan, McAnuff; Le Fondre
Subs: Henly, Morrison, Gunter, Karacan, HRK, Blackman, Hunt

HRK has been tried behind the striker many times and has never looked good. Keep him on the wing.

Wait, McCarthy's in the squad? Put him as first choice in both those squads and bump the keeper to the bench.

Bit far for Guthrie to travel I would have thought

Taylor

Kelly Pearce Mariappa Shorey


Caricco


HRK Akpan Guthrie McAnuff


Hunt


Subs: Henley, Harte, Morrison, Ledge, McCleary, Le Fondre, Blackman


If McCarthy is fit put him at least on the bench; I'd definitely bring him back into the team before the end of the season if Federici doesn't recover from injury.

Guthrie is still injured, even though Brian's gone? It's almost like he is actually injured

[leicsRoyal]

I can't see that Dolan has much more of an option than McD had with his team selection.

3rd choice keeper
1st choice forward is suspended
Guthrie injured, Caricco not match fit.

Fortunately we still have what Brian was aiming for pre season and have two players for each position, unfortunately we can't play them all at the same time.

It's like Brian's flipping us the finger from beyond the grave.

[RoyallyFcuked]

After more than 4 months out McCarthy is in the squad, which is great news, but Guthrie isn't apparently due to a knee injury. Hopefully McCarthy will start and keep the score down.

[Royal Ginger]

If McCarthy's only been training for a week, i'd be very worried that he's a bit rusty, which could do him more damage then harm. I understand his need to get back before Feds, but surely today is too soon?

McCarthy just tweeted that he's looking forward to watching the game today - assume he's not playing then

[Royalclapper]

FFS how is Guthrie injured again He must be close to being the most injured player in the league in terms of per minutes on the pitch. HRK did have a good game against them at the Mad Stad so it wouldn't be bad to see him starting

Isn't it obvs? Watching from his own penalty area while we batter Manure all game long with 89% posession in like Barca V Celtic. Then end up losing 2-0

Even in most warm ups the possession stats are similar to

Reading 42% - 58% North Stand

No, I think that accolade goes to Jimmy Kebe.

Jimmy has an excuse to be injured. Super quick players get loads of injuries.

A midfielder who ticks things over should not be getting injured.
