We are turning into a cup team so I have no doubts we'll have this one in the bag. Think there will be some changes, maybe something like:

De Gea, Darmian, Jones, Blind, Shaw: Carrick, Herrera, Mkhitaryan, Rooney, Lingard, Martial.

Let's put Martial up top and let him off his leash, he's wasted on the wings.

Think Martial was better off on the wing under Van Gaal, under Mourinho he's not looked the same and would like to see him upfront under Mourinho, just to try something else, don't think that'll happen though.

Team v West Ham: De Gea, Valencia, Jones, Rojo, Shaw, Carrick, Herrera, Mkhitaryan, Rooney, Martial, Ibrahimovic

 

[SuperRash]

Not bad. Great to see Carrick and Martial back in there. Throw Bailly, Pogba and Mata in there and I think we have our best team.

Hope I'm not going to jinx him but how good is to see Jones get a good run of games without getting injured.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

We've scored already, blimey. I missed the goal.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Oh dear. Poor by De Gea.

 

[Berba_God]

Tut tut. Cheap goal.

 

[SuperRash]

1-1! Should have guessed!

We have been brilliant so far but again our finishing has been a little awry! Rooney has been sensational so far, great to see.

 

[Berba_God]

Yes we should have definitely been up by more than one goal.

 

[RichH2016]

Deary deary me! And so far this team just keeps on making mistake after mistake and not seeing the opposition off.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Get in Martial. Nice from Valencia and Mkhitaryan.

 

[RichH2016]

Mkhitaryan really staking a place for a more regular place in this side?

Two assists tonight to follow from an encouraging performance last week! Certainly looks like he may become a critical player in this team because he is creating openings and chances!

 

[Berba_God]

I will have to stop watching, as every time I do we score.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Martial! Top pass by Ibrahimovic.

 

[Berba_God]

Breathing space?!

 

[SuperRash]

4-1. Why can't we do this in the league!
