Why is it madness? What determines a left back or right back? Whether they are left or right footed? If so, I give you Denis Irwin and Fabio. Both right footed players who could play left back.
As for Valencia, he is solid and will work hard! Sorry KM, but having Buttner at left back is what will be madness against Robben.
I was being sarcastic ffs!
It's the same front 6 that played against West Ham and did well. You'd expect that Valencia and Welbeck will start vs. Bayern on the wings, and we'll need them to be full of energy.
Januzaj will never start on tuesday. Will be welbeck and valencie
There is no way Valencia won't be starting against Bayern.
I'm surprised Buttner is playing since he'll more than likely be playing against Bayern too as Evra is suspended for that.
BT have just shown the banner, before the plane sets off from Blackpool.
Moyes' refusal to give Welbeck any kind of chance in his actual position is getting incredibly fecking tedious.
Not a single defender on the bench again. Evra must be injured, as well as Evans, Smalling and Ferdinand.
Valencia has been awful defensively this season. I don't want to compromise Rafael's effective at right back either!
Righto!
Well then I doth my cap to you for a very realistic parody of Caf-hysteria.
Giving him game time is so important. We can't expect to throw him in against Robben with the bare minimum of games under his belt.
Seriously hope Kagawa isn't playing as an out and out winger today. Januzaj benched again? Will he be getting frustrated?
On paper good front three.Guessing they will switch positions throughout the game.
When has Kagawa ever played as an out and out winger? He is always given license to drift inside.
And Buttner against Robben? I know what I'd have tried leading up to that match. Why not try Rafael there and see how he plays? What have we got to lose at all? You saying Valencia has been awful at defending all season, yet Buttner hasn't been much better. The fact that Buttner hardly ever plays either is a cause for concern too.
Tbh KM, you can call it madness, but when you actually look at it logically you can't deny it was worth a punt.
I guess yeah, but the other side of it is that if something happens to him in this game we'll be left in a very awkward situation.
Five of that front six did well, there was one who looked out of sync with everyone else. If Januzaj wasn't an option I would expect Young to play because I too think we'll go with Welbeck and Valencia at Bayern but we do and he hasn't played since the Liverpool game.
Well it'd be Valencia against Ribery then!
Worth a punt but I'd definitely start Rafael and Buttner.

Maybe someone will shoot it down on the way. Didn't know Squires Gate was still going. My old man was inducted there in 1941.
Moyes reckons Adnan is looking a bit knackered. Might be using him sparingly until the end of the season.
Good team to day, with that fecking banner being flown the team need to show some balls and get a decent win.
Must be wearing him out in training. Let the lad play football.
Well the cynic might say that we're playing Young to put him in the shop window and ensure we get a half decent fee for him in the summer, the optimist might say we're giving Januzaj a needed break from.
I think it's a combination of both.
I agree we are not the best team in the world - but that team is more than good enough to beat a team that was trashed 1-4 at home to Stoke last week.
I tend not to be that optimistic these days when it comes to the team. To be fair it's a minor grievance and the team is still more than capable of beating Villa. Just would have liked to see Januzaj play alongside both Kagawa and Mata with Rooney up top.
Hope we absolutely thrash villa today, come on united!
Fair enough. Maybe means he'll start vs Bayern
Why on earth did I think this was a 3pm kick off?
Good lineup, glad he's gone with the Kags, Mata, Rooney trio. Not too bothered Young is starting, Welbeck rested and we need some pace.
Only concern is without Carrick or Evans there's no one to play out from the back.

Just tuned in. So a plane actually went over the stadium then?
Not yet. Set off from Blackpool at 12:15.
You have to say Moyes' has handled the plane thing pretty well.
Shinji. Shinji.
Not Sinji. How hard can it be?

Moyes saying the fans would have been better off putting money into the Darren Fletcher charity fund, rather than the plane banner
well he is right with that, maybe the only thing he will get right this season.
True enough.
