1-0 to Wigan. James McCarthy.
Then we sign him.

2-1 win. Can't see it being a great game. We don't look ready yet, to be honest.
They will give us a game no doubt

Adnan deserves to start, Kagawa has done next to nothing today. In CM, Jones at least has done a decent defensive job, but with Carrick returning I'd give Anderson the nod. Cleverley hasn't done anything to warrant a start IMHO. Valencia still looks like he needs a couple of weeks, though he improved in the second half today.
We should win, just get the season going, this pre-season was wank.
Now we are talking. Let's see if our performances so far have all been down to it all beeing just pre sesaon.
Can't see Januzaj starting after a full 90 tonight.

Come on David Moyes
Play like literally anyone's boys at any point in time because we've been shite
We'll go wild wild wild

I think today's team suggests this with possibly Young for Zaha and maybe Evans for Jones.

Losing this really isn't an option. We've got better players all over the pitch and they have to show it. It's a great chance for Moyes to win something.

This is still pre-season.
When we were in it it was just a glorified friendly remember
I think we should just place the best team possible to see at what level we really are.

We are too close to the start of the season, Its time for the first 11 to play together and get some conclusions after that. We have a very difficult debut this season.

I never thought I would be so glad about a game being on ITV and not BT.
I'm going to this.
This is a must win game, if we lose this it'll be very, very embarrassing.
It's on itv? Is that for sure?
Cider and Nev will go on a virtual killing spree if they see the word embarrassing many more times. So yeah, I hope we win.
We'l stuff them up. 3-1.
Grant Holt to be Man of the Match.
Why?
You know its okay if you have switched teams.

This. Perfect. Januzaj on the bench.
And let's play fecking well and win, ok? The 'pre-season' excuse no longer applies.
Im expecting us to have a tough game, Wigan will be champing at the bit to have a go at us when we will probably be at our weakness. Best time to knock us over will be the first half of this season and I bet other teams will be thinking this.
Looks good, assuming Vidic and Nani are ready. Would also like to see Jones, maybe instead of Cleverley.
This looks good. Adnan played brilliantly while Kagawa was invisible tonight.
I think that we must win. With the pre-season shit results and the lack of transfers a defeat could bring immense pressure. With the difficult start we have, that's the last thing that Moyes and the team needs. A good performance and a win will give Moyes some confidence and hopefully give us a bit of momentum for the start of campaign.
Januzaj won't start. Played the full 90 last night so a cameo at best is what he'll have.
I love the charity shield.
It won't happen, but I'd love to see us play a wide diamond for this one:
Making use of Powell and Januzaj once we've got a commanding hold on the game.
I think in real life we'll see a continuation of the normal 4-2-3-1, with Carrick alongside Cleverley in the middle, Kag on the left and Rooney behind RvP. It will be interesting to see how up for it Wayne is.

We'd get killed if we play that formation.
