A cheated win with Rooney screaming his head off would be the IDEAL outcome. But I'll settle for any win.

So far so good. If he has some tactics to go with that selection we might be in business.

I really hope we win.

Ashley Young starts - I knew he would. He'll be integral to Utd's strategy today and he's the best in the business now starfish has fucked off.

We even have players that have beaten Bayern and Dortmund. I really don't know what it will take for this team to get their shit together. So I'm not putting too much weight on the significance of this game. If we win and go joint top, fantastic. Next job is to maintain.

I'm more so looking for a big performance from Ozil. If that guy doesn't turn up today.....Theo is talking about building around him and we have to an extent. We have Cazorla next to him, someone that can provide a pass to him and even assist him with a goal and we have runners across the front line with pace. This is the game. He has to turn up. It's now or never.

All the players need to treat this like a cup final after last week's game. If it's another jellyback, soft and weak performance, heads need to roll. The senior players I'm looking at. Merts, Cech and Monreal need to show leadership. Guide Gabriel and Bellerin if they're out of position or lack focus. Talk to them and talk during set pieces. No disorganised chaos like we've seen previously. Van Gaal will exploit that weakness.

Not too long to go. We can do this.

Aye, we definitely need a big performance today and especially from Ozil. I can accept not winning today, but I can't accept a poor weak performance.

I think both teams are fairly evenly matched which should give us the advantage as we are at home, if we play really well then we should definitely win. I'm really pumped for this, hope the boys turn up today!

Man ure's left hand side will be where the danger comes from. Young can be tricky to mark, Martial and Deoay are pacey fuckers as well. We will need Rambo and Coq to help out and make sure Merts isn't isolated against their wingers/Martial as bellerin will push forward and leave space in behind.

Sky's hatchet job on us starts in a few minutes.

Is Mike Dean playing for United

No, not today. Betfair hired him for a game yesterday.

Just listening to Henry and he thinks the same so we're not alone in thinking Ozil needs to show up.
