Good team.
3-1 win
3-1 win
Good team. We'll defeat Villa and get thrashed by Bayern.
Hang on, just saw Ashley Young in the lineup. feck off.
No Evra?
Nani? Bench?
kagawa, great. hope he performs.
In fairness I quite like that team. Presumably he's saving Januzaj for Bayern but he's not played in so long you wonder if he'd not be better off getting an hour today for sharpness.
Good side bar Buttner being in there, expect it's to rest Evra for the big Bayern game in midweek in fairness so actually might be a good call there.
This is why you shouldn't let Ashley Young drive himself to matches.
We'll crush Villa. 4-0.
Oh feck off Young, play Nani ffs 
Is Nani fit btw?

He's banned for the Bayern match so we're obviously giving Buttner some match time in preparation.
You realise Evra is suspended for the Bayern game?
I think it because Evra is out for the CL tie. No point shoving Buttner in that game without giving him a run out first.
Kagawa, Mata, Rooney = Good.
Young = arrrrghhhhh
Young = arrrrghhhhh

Nice fluid stuff up top for Young to break down when he's solicited. Buttner getting a run out before Bayern, normal. Hope the team can perform well, need a morale boost.

This sums the Cafe up. Demand Nani plays before enquirying as to whether or not he's actually fit.
Evra suspended for Bayern
I would have hoped Moyes would have played Rafael at left back for the Bayern game, but Buttner's inclusion is a clear indication that he'll be featuring against Bayern.
Good side, only disappointment is this clearly indicates Buttner is going to be playing against Bayern. No matter how he picked on the right was always going to cause consternation, it's almost like people forget the wingers we have at the club. Welbeck and Valencia nailed on starters against Bayern I would guess.

So he would be on the bench if he was not fit?
Why is Januzaj not playing much now?
Play Rafael at left back and then play who at the right back?
Agreed, but I assumed West Ham last week was his pre-Bayern run-out, thought Evra would play today.
Moyes just said yesterday Adnan is at risk for a burnout.
He didn't say whether he was, or wasn't fit. He was laughing at the poster for demanding to play Nani when they didn't know if he was fit or not.
I don't know, why do you ask?
So we've got Bayern in 3 days time and he's playing pretty much the strongest side he can against Aston Villa to keep us in the race for 6th place.
Tell me that team selection isn't based on the fact he knows just how fecking desperate a situation he is in right now?

Valencia.
Decent side. Glad Jones is getting a run at CB.
Hope Nani comes on early in the 2nd half.

Probably based on the fact they've just been stuffed by City and could do with getting back on the pitch and gaining some confidence, just a hunch though.

My sarcasm is clear
I am sure he will play Welbeck against Bayern, but for some reason he just refuses to give him some playing time in these "easy" games where he could score and build his confidence for the big game.
But I guess it's ok as long as we are playing Rooney in every game.

Young, Fellaini and Buttner is not our strongest team. relax
The quote function doesn't work anymore
So it's better to play a right back at left back and a right winger at right back rather than playing Rafael and Buttner. Madness.
I want nothing less than a dominant performance that batters Villa all day.
Of course, it was but a fleeting dream while I was sleeping, but if it were to become reality... I'll be elated. A little confidence boost before facing the juggernaut's blitzkreig on Tuesday.

At least he's giving Butner game time so come the Bayern match he won't get dominated as bad. I guess that shows forward planning. Also after last week why is Young getting another game?
It does. I'm guessing you're clicking on the "+ Quote" button? If you do that, click on Insert Quotes at the bottom, otherwise just click "Reply" as you did before.
