They've played 3 games in the time that we've played 2, one of which was a 120 minuter so that should give us an edge.

Fixed.
Stoke will have no issues at all penetrating that midfield pairing.
It is simply asking for trouble.With LVG consistently starting Fellaini and Lingard I'm starting to wonder whether he's trying to get himself sacked.
I still think we'll get the win -- Martial is going back into beast mode -- but for most of the game it's going to boring, ugly football.Who's on the right for Stoke, Afellay or Arnautovic?
He helps us defend set pieces. That's about all I can think of.Can we do it on a wet Tuesday night in Stoke? Oh wait, I just realised the shit show we've been seeing every week at tonight's stadium has actually been at Old Trafford. feck me...Carrick and Fellaini as a midfield pair when you have Schneiderlin and Herrera on the bench
Varela also deserved to start this game, now we're going to be useless on the right once again.
This is really annoying me. With Carrick back I saw a chance to kick Fellaini onto the bench and pair Scneiderlin with Carrick but no he persists with Fellaini in midfield when anybody with eyes can see he can't play there.
He really needs to put that notepad down and start watching the matches.Eurgh Carrick and Fellaini. I can see why he's gone with Fellaini over Schneiderlin or Herrera but that looks a little static to me. Worrying.
Depressing, isn't it?Adnan not even on the bench...Fellaini playing with Herrera and Schneiderlin on bench.
I am tired of the negativity and people moaning all the time, but that kind of stuff can happen just at this club, it's sad actually. People asking what's wrong with the club/team should look no further than this.Hope we are going to make it as hard and difficult for them as we possibly can.Think we're playing the Microphone and Carrick in midfield to combat Stoke's height. It's the one game I think it's okay to play the Microphone in the team. Must admit, slightly baffled by inclusion of Lingard though. Surely Memphis has done enough in recent games to play a role? Needs a start.
It was expected. He played for the reserves yesterday.
He does realise that Stoke have a bit more to their game now? Stoke will either be awful and we hope we are not as awful, or the Stoke that showed up City are on show.On the plus side, apart from Romero and McNair our bench has some real quality and form players on it.. Imagine what would happen if we actually played them togetherLvG likes Fellaini for his physical attributes, in his mind Fellaini gives us better "balance"Dunno why people on here are hating on Fellaini. We've probably played some of our better stuff this season with him in the team? :S
Played for U-21's last night so not likely.A Man Utd win is the top 3 scores on the prediction game. How come everybody is so optimistic all of a sudden?
Excuse me but that "Microphone" has got a proper name; he's called Captain F*ckface.Question for the locals:
Is there a radio station I can catch online that carries pre-match commentary? Several years ago I used to listen 105.4 FM online but that doesn't work for listeners outside the UK.
That literally is the reason as Blind is not so good at them.
Don't know. Before we saw the team?Fellaini starting = no centre midfield
Darmian starting = no attacks on the right
Mata starting = sideways passing
It's going to be a long night.
No white text?Lingard needs to pull his finger out tonight, guy is borderline w@nk but continues to get picked.
Yep, will be Arsenal all over again, except worse because Schweinsteiger is as slow but at least smarter than Fellaini. Stoke is not a team you have to match up against with muscle anymore, I really don't get this selection ...
Yep, our record with him in the team has been phenomenal this season.Possibly Lvgs last game. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Stoke ripped us apart once again.
I find this strange, I thought he would've got some 1st team game time
His name is Bog Brush.Fellaini has been in good form, we need his height, aggression and willingness to fight for the ball in midfield today. Bold prediction, a goal in the first half!
Yeah but Captain F*ckface is the Latin translation.
We are not setting the PL alight, a mediocre player in a poorly preforming team.People are surprised at Fellaini's inclusion. He is one of our most important players (in LVG's eyes), along with DDG, Smalling and Rooney.
LVG's aim is to win games 1-0. Fellaini fits in perfectly with that philosophy, as Fellaini helps defend set pieces so we can concede zero goals.
And I've got news for you: Fellaini will most likely be starting every match for us, until the end of the season, if LVG stays and Fellaini stays fit.No disrespect to Darmian but Valera didn't do to much wrong .
I think he played a U21 match today or yesterday- Status
