The best team we could've put under circumstances.
 
Nice, big games for Cleverley and Nani to prove themselves today.
 
No reason why we shouldn't win with that lineup. Need to be taking our chances though, none of this faffing about shit.
 
Would have preferred someone else instead of Cleverley, but very happy with the line up. The front four is the best we could have asked for.
 
Never liked RvP and Hernandez together but we'll see I guess.
 
I hope its like last years game against the barcodes. Hernandez breaking hearts in the last minute.
 
Great team! As people are saying, up to the fecking players to help out their manager now.
 
If we play a 4-4-2 we will most likely lose/draw this one as well. Jones and Cleverley aren't going to dominate a midfield three without RVP's help. However if RVP plays the role of a true number 10 and midfield 3 then we will most likely win this.
 
That is our best back 5. Our best 2 wingers. Jones would be in the midfield of our strongest XI and RVP up front. Apart from Carrick and Rooney this is our strongest possible side.
 
finally. a decent looking front 4.

hopefully this is the start of another good run from van persie. we missed him badly over the last few weeks. hernandez has to take his chance now. we all know he is going to be on the bench once again when rooney returns but he has not been doing himself any favour at all with his performances whenever he starts a game lately.

valencia has been so bad that i would not mind anybody start on the right wing instead of him. hopefully we'll see nani and adnan changing wings throughout the match and both can perform well today.

jones-cleverley is the best we can hope for now. anyone but not fellaini in that CM area please.
 
Lots of players with huge opportunities to impress or bounce back from recent disappointing displays, especially Cleverley, Nani and Hernandez. Nani better step up today, no more defensive bullshit with Valencia and Welbeck, want to see him given a proper run.
Fellaini isn't even in the squad again.
 
I'm predicting a good game from Cleverley and I hope Zaha can get some action.
 
Cant complain with that selection to be honest, looking forward to seeing Adnan, Nani and RvP in action. Zaha on the bench as well.
 
RVP won't last the full 90 you wouldn't think, so that team doesn't want to be chasing the game much long after the hour mark.

Also Cleverley will need to help out Jones out properly otherwise the midfield shall be overrun in short order.
 
Get a comfortable lead in the first half, bring Zaha on in the second please. Please!
 
newcastle: Krul; Debuchy, Williamson, Coloccini (c), Santon; Cabaye, Tiote, Anita; Sissoko, Remy, Gouffran.
Subs: : Elliot, Yanga-Mbiwa, Obertan, Gutierrez, Ben Arfa, Shola Ameobi, Cisse.
 
give zaha 30 minutes. i want him to push valencia down the pecking order if possible. 1 successful cross for 180 minutes of football, just could not take it anymore.
 
That's a quality looking team apart from our centre midfield what looks very suspect.
 
First mind game by Moyes? Saw him being quoted that he was still weeks away from match fitness.

Who? He said Carrick was still 3 weeks away, but RvP 'had a chance' iirc.
