We have a distinct lack of quality after our first XI.
Young and Valenica just arent good enough to start these kind of matches.

And yet you'd still complain if he starts
Relax, no one's complaining. Was just an observation. He's not even made the bench in our last 3 games. Big demotion after starting against Liverpool.
Because we want to keep him. There was little chance of him starting this game as he had hardly played previously this season.
Him and Hernandez will likely start in the Cup to get playing time, then it'll be taken from there.
Resale value, obviously.
I doubt we'll be on the edge of our box, they'll probably edge the possession and I expect us to break quickly.
I've seen encouraging signs from Young and Valencia in recent matches. Rooney is in top form also. I'll wait until I see some action before bitching.
Big game for Fellaini. Interesting to see how he does against Yaya.
People keep saying this but why? He made a fine pass against Leverkusen and managed to con the ref into a penalty and a red card against Palace while being generally useless otherwise. He was awful at Anfield.
He hasn't been in good form, at all. Bringing up his performance at the Etihad last season would be a better argument.
Neither do I. I think he will play in the cup. His games are just being managed. I just don't think the poster you quoted was complaining.
Moyes: "RVP has a groin strain. We thought he would be OK but it is nothing serious. He has a chance to be back on Wednesday."
Arsenal win 3-1
Welbeck wouldn't be starting if his knee hadn't cleared up. Who did you want to start, exactly? Nani and Kagawa? The two who have barely featured and look rusty? There was fecking no way in hell that was going to happened today, especially since Young and Valencia have actually put in some of their better displays recently.
He should not be risked on wednesday if he has a groin strain.
bench ?
A fully deserved demotion. Full credit to Moyes for not persisting with him.
Oh god. It's Quinn and Carra on Sky for this one. Two perennial United haters
So Welbeck isn't capable of scoring against them despite the fact that he has previously during a win at the Eithad?
So that ITK was right.
Last week, whenever someone said fabio starts, people corrected and said "its rafael". Now when I said rafael started last week, you are saying it was fabio? feck these match day threads are weird.
Best possible team in the circumstances 
In expecting a good result!
In expecting a good result!Hope it's not serious.
That isn't a difficult task considering how poor they were prior
Anyways feck it, LET'S SMASH CITY!!!!
Good post, I dont think it is a negative team.
RVP being out makes it harder to win, even more so with Kompany back for City but if Rooney can carry on his form from CL then we will be OK.
has RVP picked up a knock or is he just on the bench?
One of our better players against Palace and came on and did well midweek. Hilarious?
I think he's been injured as well, if he does get on he needs to make it impossible to drop him again.
Just got the line ups, no RvP?
Groin strain. Not in the squad.
MUTV reported it as Rafael, but corrected themselves. All other broadcasters had Fabio starting.
Any update on Zaha? Not being negative, just asking why he's not played yet this season?
I agree, but then again the alternatives are Kagawa and Nani, who both looked very rusty in their previous outings and are really lacking in fitness. You'd never throw them in here, save them for later on in their game when their fitness isn't an issue.
It's safe to say our line-up against Liverpool will be sexy though! The likes of RVP, Januzaj, Nani, Kagawa, Rafael, Fabio etc.
Fergie's played Smalling over Rafael in these games a few times in the past. With Rafael not being on the bench, we'll most likely see him play in the Cup.
Happy with that team. Time to rest Vidic and Rio after this one though.
buttner over fabio on the bench? that confuses me. second time this season.
dammit!
Rafael might be another one who gets to play against Liverpool then they are at home v. W.B.A. next weekend.
