XI: De Gea, Rafael, Evans, Vidic, Smalling, Buttner, Scholes, Cleverley, Kagawa, Welbeck, Chicharito.

Subs: Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Valencia, Giggs, Young, Macheda, RvP

Either Buttner is LW or Rafael is RW. Either way, decent line-up.

I think we might have Buttner on the wing. It was his original position.

I would assume they would push Rafael up with Smalling behind as I haven't seen Smalling ever play left back. It's a pretty good team and Smalling/Vidic will be good at dealing with the physicality of West Ham. Also, got some good options on the bench.

Looks like Rafael at RW is already on SAF's mind

Could be a short term replacement for Valencia, :rolleyes:

I just hope Rafael's RW slot doesn't distract him too much of his defensive duties when he does return to RB, especially if him playing RW becomes a regular thing. This season, he's absolutely nailed the balance between attack and defence.

What a brilliant ball by Scholes to smalling moments ago. Also, brilliant defensive work by Vidic to clear the ball.

Looks like a 4-4-2-diamond with Kagawa at the tip

Are you perhaps actually playing three centre-backs? :eek:

Scholes as the deep lying playmaker. More like a 4-3-1-2.

Rafael CM?

Lovely taken finish by Cleverley, opened his body up. Our general play has been good, quick and energetic.

Could it just be a 442 with Rafael as RM? I'm not watching though...

I think rafael is right of cm, cleverley left, scholes a bit deeper and kagawa behind the front 2.
