Pardon my ignorance of Stoke but who are they going to have on that flank running at Smalling? You'd imagine they would target him as a possible vulnerability for us.
Manchester United vs. Stoke City

That's possibly our strongest lineup (except that rafael has to be in). Looking forward to the game already.
It has to be Matty Etherington if he still is there.
One day people might realise that they play in the same position...
Yeah, I think he's beginning to realize how much he overrated him when he was at Everton. Not good enough for a top side like United, simple as that.
Doesn't start. Stoke midfield is Walters, Palacios, Ireland, Nzonzi, Arnautovic, so it will presumably be Arnautovic.
Why would they do that when Smalling is a natural defender and therefor, ya know, good at defending? Smalling being in there effects us going forward on the right flank, it shouldn't effect us defensively.
I would rather have Januzaj playing. After is last performance Kagawa had to start today.
Excellent lineup. No complaints.
Thanks.
It'll be radio commentary for me today so i shall be relying on the Caf for the tactical analysis, which is probably better anyway.
They could comfortably play in the same team together
Nothing to say about the first 11 but it was more or less the same with Southampton 
Hopefully the game will be wrapped up by the time substitutions will have to be made or that Moyes will not make the same mistakes.

An opposing manager is likely to try and apply some pressure to see what can be gained, no?
Stoke have half their team at 6 ft 4 - it doesn't hurt to use Smalling against their only real offensive threat
Thank feck Cleverley's back.
Yep. Gives us so much more movement and fluidity in midfield then Fellaini.
Probably our strongest front 4 and best midfield pairing. Shame Rafael is dropped but I guess the height factor makes sense.
Ahem..
Quite depressing that he is our best option alongside Carrick.
We're currently 8th, a win today will take us up to......8th.
a win today is more important than league position, well it is for me.
Consistency is the key.
Beastly lineup
I really, really hope that RVP, Rooney and Kagawa click. I fear if it doesn't Kagawa will be the one to be dropped.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make AceStream work? It never works for me.

I just want us to give Kagawa a 10 game run, then assess him after that. All this in and out business cannot help him.
Any rivers for this? :/
Oh I know, but I checked the table and was hoping we could rise a position or two if we won today so it was a little disappointing to see us stranded in 8th.
Not really stranded obviously, but stuck there for a week maybe.
Seconded, my PM box has plenty of space!
It's not surprising. Moyes is clearly the cautious type. The last thing he wants is the uncertainty of a hit and miss player like Zaha, when he's looking for stability. When things settle down he might get his chance.
Hughes reverting to type including Crouch up front.
same here, sopcast would be great!
That's a nice little junket for that Japanese TV crew. Getting to travel to Old Trafford for every game to see Shinji.
Stream anyone please?
Does everybodies river flow slowly?
Lovely through ball by Kagawa.
decent play there
feck sake
Aye. Found some decent one but with bloody Arabic commentary in the background.
Aw feck.
Ah feck
