Manchester United Vs West Bromwich Albion (2 - 0) On 7th November 2015 by seydam21(m): 8:10am On Nov 04, 2015 |
MATCH PREVIEW Chris Smalling wants Manchester United to prove their attacking prowess against West Bromwich Albion at Old Trafford on Saturday. Louis van Gaal's side have scored two goals in their last five matches in all competitions, with their previous two Barclays Premier League outings against Manchester City and Crystal Palace ending goalless. As Van Gaal has been quick to point out, United have made progress in defence - keeping more clean sheets (7) than any other team in the league this season - but are lacking a cutting edge at the opposite end of the pitch while Tony Pulis' West Brom side have not conceded in four of their five BPL away matches in 2015/16. Smalling acknowledges it will be difficult to break Albion down but he still feels United have the creative players needed to make an impact in the final third. "Tony Pulis has made them very solid and they don't concede many goals, so we're going to have to break them down," he told www.manutd.com . "If we can get an early goal, I think you may see the floodgates open." Wayne Rooney was on target in United's 1-0 UEFA Champions League win over CSKA Moscow on Tuesday, the England captain now level with Denis Law on 237 goals for the club. That header also ended a barren run that had seen Van Gaal's team go 404 minutes without scoring. Rooney will have fond memories of coming up against West Brom in the BPL, having played a role in 11 goals (seven scored by him, four assists) in his past seven starts against them. But Pulis has seen his side defeated only twice in their last nine top-flight fixtures on the road. Chris Brunt, who should recover from a knock in time to feature against United, praised the role of team spirit in guiding them down that path. "Over the last few weeks we've found a bit of form together but obviously the result was disappointing on Saturday [a 3-2 defeat against Leicester City]," he told the Birmingham Mail. "We can trust each other to do the jobs to the best of our ability and that's all you can ask for anywhere on the pitch." West Brom, who were 1-0 winners at Old Trafford in last season's corresponding fixture, will be without former United goalkeeper Ben Foster (knee), but Jonny Evans and Darren Fletcher are expected to play. Antonio Valencia (foot), James Wilson (knock) and Paddy McNair (abdomen) are doubts, while long-term absentee Luke Shaw will not feature. Matteo Darmian will also be unavailable as he is suspended. Manchester United (from): De Gea, Romero, Johnstone, Valdes, Jones, McNair, Rojo, Smalling, Valencia, Varela, Blind, Carrick, Fellaini, Herrera, Lingard, Mata, Pereira, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Young, Depay, Martial, Rooney, Wilson. West Bromwich Albion (from): Lindegaard, Myhill, Rose, Chester, Dawson, Evans, Gamboa, McAuley, Olsson, Pocognoli, Brunt, Fletcher, Gardner, Gnabry, McClean, McManaman, Morrison, Sessegnon, Yacob, Anichebe, Berahino, Lambert, Rondon.

However, despite a massive improvement at the back, Louis van Gaal and his charges have came under plenty of scrutiny in recent weeks for their lack of prowess at the opposite end of the pitch in the final third, as they have netted just twice in their past five games in all competitions, while also being involved in two consecutive goalless draws in the league against Manchester City and Crystal Palace. This brand of football has been criticised this week by club legends such as Roy Keane and Paul Scholes, who believe a club of United's stature should be implementing more entertaining tactics for the fans.

Apart from perhaps Van Gaal himself, the figure that has came under the most pressure due to the recent abject results has been Wayne Rooney, who has had a below-par season up until this point. However, there is cause for optimism for England's top goalscorer as he managed to claim the only goal of the match in Tuesday's vital Champions League victory over CSKA Moscow. The 30-year-old also has a superb record against West Brom in recent years, having been involved in 11 goals via scoring or assisting in his last seven starts against the Baggies. |
