Herrera in mid is fine. He helps the transition from defence to attack better than anyone else so makes sense. Fellaini gives us a presence in attack. Nothing stopping Ander making late runs, something we seriously lack from midfield.

YOUNG!!!!!!!!!! GET back!!!!!!!
Well, I meant more that if Jose comes in, he's toast.
Were gunna win the europa leagueShot on target
Jones defends like a moronYoung isnt a RB. I would have persisted with Varela.We'll lose this won't we?Entertaining match so far.Stoke set piece coming up. Let's hope we've learnt our lessons.Can someone send me something to allow viewage please?Friend can feck right off. Every little bit of contact from United and he's blowing so far, meanwhile they man-handle Fellaini in every aerial duel and he doesn't give a feck.How the feck was that a foulButland is our next keeper, you heard it here first....
Ps. Always thought Mark Hughes such an underrated manager, not appreciated. Decent manager.
That's the spirit.
you are ridiculous.
Mirror of the posts in the opening 3 minutes. Hilarious posts. Stoke did naff all.
And yet you say I am ridiculous.....I can see a jammy Stoke goal today.we look like a team in crisis.10 minutes played, 2 chances, 1 shot on goal.
Much of it has to do with the fact that he can't fully commit since the refs always give free kicks against him for being big, pretty much.My God Jones makes one nervous with his 'defending'Losing 70-30 is embarrassing.Our close control and composure on the ball has been terrible so far. Stoke have been doing what Stoke have always done, high tempo pressing game. It's putting our lads right off.
I thought the line up 4231 requires 2 dm's?
Schn - Carr with Herrera in the 10 would be greatWe're losing in possession stats!
If de Gea leaves I would love to have Butland.
Still the best chest in the league.Just tuned in. Is Rooney injured or benched ?We're gonna get knackered at the 70min mark aren't we?
Benched.
Nah mate, Fellaini playing off Martial is clearly way better.
So he brings nothing to the game then. So why's he starting?Memphis is really horrible in tight spaces. Plays passes that are nowhere near on.that pass from hererraRooney on the bench is great.
Morgan on the bench is not great.
We look shaky so far but a lot of time to go.
I know but it's difficult to see us winning this.
I can see a classy Stoke goal today
Benched for 'tactical reasons'
Benched. LVG cited 'tactical reasons'.
I can see them getting a well deserved win on the basis of the first 10 minutes.
Why? If anything Stoke will tire first. They are pressing non stop.- Status
