I remember against West Ham in the 2010-2011 season......but it was against fecking West Ham.
Giggs against Ramsey or Cazorla for 80 minutes would be crazy.
I have no problems with the starting XI and Evra is never injured.
But of all our options on the bench today......i would bring on all other five players (Chicharito, Fellaini, Cleverley, Nani & Januzaj) instead of Giggs if we need a impact sub..........so i think Fabio should be on the bench instead of Giggs.
Play them too much and you are risking a lot. He's not fully developed physically yet, may be slightly fatigued still.
Damn right, Valencia is nullification personified.
I think the lineup they put out right now is as strong as it gets for them, but without mertesacker. Rosicky wouldn't be starting if flamini was fit before and now that he's back he goes back to the bench.
You're putting one game ahead of a whole season? He'll come on with 20/30 minutes to go, which is more than fair.
He can't complain about the minutes he's had this season, Moyes has put lots of faith in him already.
Cool that Kagawa's getting the time, even if that means that he's tossed on the left. I hope that we'll outplay those cnuts.
And stop complaining about Adnan not starting, Moyes said he doesn't want to burn him out. Him being a sub today ( and he most likely will come on ) can be superior to him starting imo, he'll bring some freshness to the game no matter what the result will be.

No Mertesacker. Perfect chance to pick up three points.
smalling at rb 
For me it isn't Kagawa instead of Januzaj, for we could have started Valencia at RB with Adnan on the right wing.
However if it does come down either one or the other, Kagawa is a better option if the aim is greater control and influence through the centre of the park. Januzaj can still bring something to the party when subbed on.
More important than personnel however is that the system we use is sufficiently flexible, and that there is a intensity to out football.
*shrugs* We'll see i guess.

If Shitty don't win & we do, how many places do we go up?
True but don't you think our best players should start in the big games! rest him before or after! but against a team like arsenal! I think he should start. Good lineup apart from smalling anyway, not complaining too much, just would have liked to see januzaj given the nod.
Need big performances from Valencia and Kagawa today.
All the results this we are just perfect for us
I dunno. I think Gibbs is prone to being very high up the pitch. Valencia is our best player for exploiting full backs who go roaming. I think he could have some joy on the counter today.
We'd go up to fifth if City lose, sixth if they draw.
We'll jump to fifth, ahead of Spurs and Everton on gd and 1 point ahead of City, 1 behind Chelsea, 2 behind Southampton, 3 behind Liverpool and 5 behind Arsenal(if we win). If City draw we'll be behind them on gd.
Just 1 point behind Chelsea as well (fecking Andre marriner).
Fifth. Behind Chelsea, Southampton, Liverpool and Arsenal on GD (vs Spuds and Everton)
This might be going overboard but this could be Moyes' biggest win of his career if we do win.
City shouldn't be in our sight at all...they're not top, cutting that ridiculous point gap Arsenal have over us should be the motivation!
Until he had one bad match, and it's back to square one. I don't know why we gave him that contract tbh.
You're right. It is going overboard.
Results like beating Arsenal today will be run-of-the-mill for Moyes after today. He's just bedding in and the signs look good so far.
In one match?
No Januzaj, Moyes you crazy.
Smalling at right back and Valencia as righ t wingwek? -_-
I just have the feeling it's Arsenals week, so they won't lose. I think a draw is the most likely result.
It is a massive game though. The importance doesn't come from what winning means but rather how demoralising a loss would be.
No worries. I expect Nani to come back in soon anyway. Maybe Moyes is just letting the discontent settle a little?
I hope Rooney actually plays as a #10 today. He can't just stand up alongside Van Persie for 90 minutes.
Sure, but Valencia also has a tendency to drop deep to help out his fullback. At least Smalling has the pace to match Gibbs, I think, and usually he is able to do well one on one against the attackers. I hope you are right. (awful post by me, but I hope you got the point)
The best team should be played, not always the best players. He's a great impact sub to have anyway.
I think that applies to everybody, including Moyes for that matter [if the work rate of the player is as high as we hope then the substitutes will need to be just so].
One thing that's guaranteed is he won't be making substitutions like those shockers against Southampton.
We must win this match, this could save our season
