Capital One Cup 2015/16

He's been shite since Christmas anyway

He can come to us and actually fulfil his creative potential rather than being regimented by Mourinho & Chelsea if he wants

Naah he wants actual trophies, not the one you get for coming 4th

Yeah its about time he had a spell on the sidelines

17 games without a goal apparently. Mourinho said he was on par with Ronaldo earlier in the season didn't he?

Not even close.

Anyway, Louis van Gaal is resting Martial, Rooney and Smalling tonight. Could he not just rest Rooney? I reckon the team will be: De Gea, Darmian, Jones, Blind, Rojo, Fellaini, Carrick, Lingard, Herrera, Pereira, Wilson. Something like that anyway. Maybe Young at left back, he's not started in a while.

Pretty happy with Rooney being rested. I'd be disappointed if he broke Charlton's record, and these sort of games are the only ones he's going to fill his boots in.

Were more than likely going out tonight, not so sure it'd be a bad thing either given our injury problems atm

In keeping with the theme of general pessimism that seems to be running through this thread I'm not looking forward to our game with Southampton tonight, I can easily see it being a hammering given our current form. Kevin Macdonald is a fine youth team manager but last time he was in caretaker charge we got beaten 6-0 by Newcastle before Houllier was appointed.

Romero; Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Rojo; Carrick, Fellaini, Pereira; Lingard, Wilson, Memphis.
Subs: De Gea, Young, Schweinsteiger, Herrera, Mata, Martial, Rooney.

Interesting.

Nearly a lovely debut goal for Teixeira

3 minutes in and Middlesborough fans have already gone through the entire repertoire of 'funny' songs sung at United. Possibly a new record.

Pretty sure we've turned into Arsenal this season, Toure looks like he's just done his hammy

Should be 1-0 down, glorious chance.

Middlesborough should wear Sky Blue shirts and we can pretend its the 3rd quarter of the derby, exactly the same game so far.

Took us 35 minutes to have a shot on target, improving from Sunday..

Rooney coming on to slow things down.

Replacing Wilson.

I wish Memphis actually bothered to run around a bit so I could like him despite his god awful start to the season.

And now Rooney's come on so they stink the joint out together.

I remember that episode. Andy Carroll grabbing a hat-trick on his first appearance at home in the Newcastle number 9 shirt. Good times.

To think it's all been downhill for him from there.

Rooney with a poor first touch?! My god!

Memphis frustrating tonight.

Blind's just scored a worldy of an own goal only to have it cruelly chalked off for offside.

Oh Memphis, summing up your night with that.

That Blind OG was amazing.

ROMERO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!!?!?

Martial on for Memphis. Good sub.

Lingard hits the post and then Boro had two amazing chances to win it.

Martial is so wonderful to watch AND WE'RE PLAYING HIM ON THE WING! Rooney can't even beat Championship defenders, he's lost the ball so many times. He's getting worse.

Yeah seeing Martial taking it past people for fun on the wing is so frustrating. He could be causing so much trouble in the centre.

ah looks they've put Martial in centre for ET Oh wait no its Fellaini

Twice we should have had a penalty now.

Boro dominating this second half of extra time. Ayala should be man of the match, superb in defence.
