3 points is 3 point, be it from a 4-0 win or a scrappy 1-0 with a 94th min own goal.
Yup, he scored a hattrick in the reserves recently. He's not a really tall guy though so he might struggle up top on his own, in his first start.
Phelan coming across well on Sky Sports.
The worry is that's exactly what we're doing!...good players left that is
"wayne rooney, juan mata, and ruud van nistelrooy. the new holy trinity?" - Richard Keys
Formations are one thing and mentality quite another, let's hope that if we do secure a lead the team doesn't start sitting back all too unnecessarily.
Rene has taken a huge risk playing a young striker but might work. He'll go for it all the time and our midfield/defence can be troubled by a paper cup so he could get some chances
I have a bet on over 7 goals.
That rule no longer exists.
I can't see Fulham scoring 7
Moyes seems confident
Just saw Fulham teamsheet and it already looks like they are preparing for Championship football 
. It will be interesting to see how Tunneclife performs in the holding role for Fulham. His energy and aggression might cause Carrick some problems who performs better when not closed down aggressively.

Young is playing. Janusaij and/or Kagawa are on the bench. That doesn't constitute playing all the good players.
Play all the good players. If only to dispel the notion that they can't all play together. But either way, play them. Play ALL the good players!
How do we tell? Just exactly how do we tell?
This Fulham line up is absolute shite. We'll win comfortably. Maybe even play well.
He's probably pissed.
Phelen is pretty good as a pundit to be fair... Sitting next to Carragher doesn't do him any harm though
Was tongue in cheek Mocks!
Yeah, he's done surprisingly well so far.
One foreign language pundit is fine
Ah, my first mains matchday thread. I trust you're all like newbies, level headed and calm no matter what kind of game you're watching? One of the reasons still miss that place.
I think people are too stressed up about numbers on a paper. In reality they will all have totally different positions depending on the situation. When we're attacking the positions will look something like this:
De Gea
Smalling Vidic
Fletcher Carrick
Rafael Mata Evra
Rooney Young
Van persie
Young and Evra work well together and will probably provide a lot of space for Mata on the left central midfield. It could happen that Rooney will take that side because he likes cutting in from that side. Van Persie could be forced to play a bit wider because of Heitinga who is a really tough defender and will probably be up for the game to mark Van Persie out of the game. Defender Dan Burn will effectively take care of all aerial challanges.
And of course Mata won't play as a conventional winger. He won't even track back or anything in this game. He will be the link between the midfield and the box. Players like Fletcher, Young, Evra and Carrick will do the dirty job while Rooney and Mata will try to get into position together with Robin.
My biggest fear for this match is their left side with Riise and Richardson who could find a lot of space behind Rafael and perhaps find some combo with Holtby, who on his day is a very effective attacking forward. Also a player like Tunncliffe will be up for a game like this. A very heavy player together with another heavy and rough player in sidwell could cause some problems.
All in all we're up against a physical team that has some speed and intelligence.
Really?
Keys is a Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime, a hairy handed inbred
PLAY ALL THE GOOD PLAYERS!!
That Fulham side.........
I mean fair play to Rene for giving some of those Fulham players a kick up the arse and bringing in some youth but doing it at Old Trafford, not exactly wise.

Mike Phelan offers no insight at all.
Moyes has a chance to set a positive record? Most consecutive wins against the same team (10)
Well we're going to lose thanks to that Montage.
Thanks sky.
Thanks sky.
Oh come on that's harsh! He offers 'very little' insight; not 'no insight'.
That was a bit of a dramatic intro film..
Is there a specific reason why he's playing Young and not Januzaj?
Phelan asked about Rooney and staying and being captain.
Phelan mentions money first thing.
Conclusion: Phelan is saying Rooney is greedy and is in it for the dough

I just saw something on my telly that Hull beat Fulham 6-0, Hull of all teams. Surely we can match that
