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

------------De Gea------------
Rafael--Jones--Evans---Evra
-------Carrick---Giggs--------
-Nani------Kagawa----Januzaj
------------Rooney------------

That's the team if Giggs has recovered enough from his midweek exertions and Van Persie still has some niggling injuries that need a bit more rest

If Van Persie comes in then I would unfortunately drop Nani out and put Januzaj on the right and Kagawa on the left

Moyes said the Perse has "had problems with his toes"

Would love to see that, but I expect it'll be Fellaini in for Giggs in the middle. I'm worried about Carrick being overplayed, but no choice.

I expect #@&%!s like Valencia & Welbeck will start. He might even give Young a game. Can't wait for full time tbh.

Genuinely hope Cleverley starts instead of that useless bag of shite Fellaini. Cleverley ffs

Fellaini can't be as bad a player as he's looked though, surely?

well considering he's looked that bad for five years at Everton, yes.

would like to see how fellaini gets alongside a more mobile player (well, by our standards). he looks like more of a substitute for carrick rather than a partner; the midfield is far too flat-footed with them in together.

RVP off the bench.

you'd drop Carrick?? Our most reliable and effective performer for three years

RvP, Kagawa and TC23 start.

Delighted for The Watcher.

Dave
Smalling
Jones
Evans
Evra
Carrick
Cleverley
Nani
Rooney
Kagawa
RVP

g2c Moyesy lying about injuries.

Just big fellaini and rafael away from our strongest XI that.

Moyesiah is really rewarding his crew with his continued faith in Nani who will no doubt score today.

'dropping' ffs

he's due a rest every now and again. like i said, the intention is to trial fellaini in a lone holding role - i agree he's nowhere near carrick's level, but for £30m we should at least find a purpose for him. even if it's as back-up.

all academic now anyway, moyes has spoken.

yeah. 4-4-2. good stuff.

Arsenal looking shaky, will see it out though.

1-0.

Until the 78th minute. Then we panic, and it ends 1-1.

Well up for this, me.

Decent line up, yeah. The same was true, mind, for our last two home games and we managed one £#%&!ing point
