Team vs Stoke City - Saturday, 26/10/2013

Couldn't find a thread for this. Assumed everyone is sick of football (or Moyes to be precise) by now.

Anyways...

Valencia - Carrick - Fellaini - Young
Rooney - Welbeck.

Can't get used to these 3 o'clock kick offs.
Just need big Ron back in the dugout and it'll be like the 80's.

All out attack

more importantly, who will the first two subs be when adam and nzonzi kill kagawa and januzaj?

Anderson and Young

DDG
Smalling
Vidic
Jones
Evra
Nani
Carrick
Fellaini
Januzaj
Welbeck
Rooney

At a guess. I expect Moyes to go with the extra height against Stoke, hence Smalling at RB. I expect a performance from Fellaini today, Stoke are still a very basic side, they lack the mobility in attacking areas/or speed of play to exploit his sluggish movement. There will be a lot of physical play to counter, an opportunity for him to excel.

I wonder what startling new depths of shit@#%&!ery can be foisted upon us today

This but with Januzaj, Rooney and Kagawa all interchanging positions.

Kagawa needs a run so hopefully he starts but more likely benched.

Yep
Our 28 million pound man was brought in for games like this. Someone to make the difference against Stoke.

We've been punished for his mistakes, now it's somebody else's turn..
Go get em Marouane, make a nuisance of yourself in both boxes. ftbmb

at last we've got someone to counter the long throw.............

if kagawa is ever going to be a star for united, this midfield is one he should £#%&!ing waste. off the back of a half-decent performance, he needs to show he is too quick just to get knocked off the ball and can take advantage of the gaps between the cones. if moyes plays him on the wing in a 4-4-2, I may send him a strongly-worded letter expressing my disappointment.

that said, my stoke-centric defence has got me some points in fantasy land, so 0-0.

Agreed. Our premier league record of 9 wins and 1 draw against Stoke isnt good enough.

It is going to be painful going from the joy of Giggs back to this clumsy oaf

But if he going to be of any use, matches like today are when he has to show something.

Yes but if we'd had a clumsy, slow, immobile, elbow-slinging freak playing in that draw we might have won that one too.

He'll play Valencia, young, fellaini and smalling at right back. And the result will absolute shit on a stick.

I flicked onto a replay of the Southampton game yesterday and it was the moment Nani broke and was waiting for Fellaini to come on the outside. £#%&!ing hell it was painful to watch,
