Team I want:

---------De Gea----------
Rafael-Evans-Vidic-Fabio
------Jones--Giggs------
Nani-----Rooney--Januzaj
------------RvP-----------
 
We will play a strong side in this game and I can't see a lot of players being rested. Moyes will not want another defeat and will want to end this win-less run. Our home form has to improve, period.

Evra might get a rest and with Rooney back, RVP does not need to be rested but we should play what Moyes sees as our strongest side.

We might play a 4-3-3 with Rooney upfront, Giggs as the attacking midfielder and Jones/Cleverley as the midfield pairing. Really want to Nani and Januzaj as the attacking wingers. Nani needs a run in the side.
 
-----------De Gea-------------
Rafael---Vidic----Evans----Evra
--------Jones----Fellaini-------
Valencia----Kagawa-----Januzaj
------------Rooney------------

Subs: Lindegaard, Smalling, Giggs, Anderson, Nani, Chicharito, Van Persie.
 
Fellaini is suspended right?


-------------DDG
Rafael--Rio---Evans----Fabio

------Jones----Giggs/Ando

Valencia----Kagawa-----Welbeck
-------------Rooney

Subs: Lindegaard, RvP, Smalling, Buttner, Chicha, Nani, Januzaj

I want Januzaj and Nani to start but I think Moyes will go with Valencia and Welbeck.
 
United 8-0 Shakhtar

I really think we will thrash them but then lose our next PL match.
 
Two losses on the bounce without scoring a single goal, big match for Moyes
 
I expect Cleverely-Jones.

Should be Anderson-Jones
 
Lets hope we see some forward passes! And by passes I do not mean hoofs or long balls from Smalling or Vidic (or whoever plays). Hopefully Anderson starts as well, him on a good day improves us more then any of our other available midfielders can even think of doing.

Yeah, I think they'd be a good partnership really. Jones would make up for Anderson's lack of a good positional awareness, and Anderson's running with the ball ability and attacking passes would make up for Jones. Sort of like the Giggs-Jones partnership, but a lot more work from Anderson (when he's not having a stinker that is).
 
The thing with Young is that there is a decently talented player in there somewhere. We've only ever seen glimpses, but he's not a terrible footballer by any stretch.

Buttner on the other hand...

Oh you are so kind...Young is rubbish.
 
Wouldn't be surprised if that's the proper lineup... I'm okay with that seeing as vidic and Evra are injured. Would prefer nani but young on a good day (they happen about 3 times a year to be fair) can be a good winger too. He obviously doesn't like fabio for whatever reason but that's accepted now.
The biggest problem isn't the lineups with him to be honest, it's the way he sets te team out to play, how deephe tells them to go and how one dimensional he always has us.
 
The moment of the team selection is almost more exciting than the games these days.
 
Tydesley tweeted the same lineup as the guy above, probably true then. Can see us getting a good win here to be honest. I'm in an optimistic mood today.
