We have a squad that half of them get injured picking up a cup of tea. That isn't Moyes fault it has been there for a while.

Moyes pioneering the false 5
Probably not able to recall him anyway.
Keane is on loan at Blackburn and Thorpe is ill or injured (can't remember which). I really hope Keane is integrated into the first team next season. I really think (hope) he'll make it here.
It's certainly an interesting line-up I guess, disappointed that Danny isn't up top with Rooney.
When do Evans and Smalling get back from injury? Hopefully its really soon as we look incredibly short at CB.
Not sure what I want with this game. A defeat will mean you'll be absolutely fired up against City but then again, a big win might be good for your confidence and it's always funny to see West Ham lose.
What channel is this on?
Sky Sports 1
I think he's being rested for Tuesday. But yeah, I'd have liked to see him start this game, he played well in midweek.
It would be nice to just have a CB who isn't always injured.
Cardiff scored 3 against Scousepool, we couldn't score any 
I know, try telling that to some people if we get the wrong result today though.
Well the players should try get over them
I'm pretty certain our players are blameless in all facets of life this season are they not ? :-D
Cheers
Only place Welbeck would have played is on the wing anyways when we have Mata/Kagawa here I think. Would have been a better option then Young but he is being rested for City game I'm betting. I'd probably do the same tbf.
A defeat would completely shatter out confidence for the City game, I imagine. You should be rooting for us to win!
There's absolutely no doubt we aren't keeping a clean sheet. We'll concede at least 2. Really hope Rooney, Mata, Kagawa and Young are on their game because we're gunna need a few goals to have any chance of a win.
Interchanging CBs.
On a serious note maybe he just didn't want to tell who is playing where yet. It's hard to believe they'll actually be swapping.

Hmm, I thought he might have been suspended after the sending off against Liverpool?
Or does that suspension come only after 7 days of the sending off?
Carrick and Fellatio may rotate at CB according to Talkshite
Eh?
Eh?
Buttner being prepared for Bayern.
It's hilarious.
It's hilarious.
City scored 5 against Fulham and we let them snatch a draw at OT. I have stopped worrying about it for this season. We aren't going to be relegated, we might be lucky and not get in the Europa League.Cardiff scored 3 against Scousepool, we couldn't score any
Moyes said himself he's asked both to fill in at times today. I assume Fellaini will slot in for set pieces, otherwise I don't see the logic myself.
Knowing Moyes, I imagine we'll end up with a formation like this.
-------------De Gea;
Carrick, Buttner; Fellaini,Fletcher,
MAta , Young; Kagawa; Rooney.
----------Rafael, Jones,

He's suspended as far as I know.
I know we need Welbeck for City but I think it's pointless playing Kagawa and Mata without a proper forward who runs in behind. I don't think Rooney will suddenly come out as an orthodox forward when we need him to.
Redknapp
.So much for high tec.
.So much for high tec.Dont care how many you win by just make sure Mata, Rooney, Hernandez, DDG and the rest are all ready for City. Mata likes getting tucked into Manchester opposition.
No sendings off please.

We didn't have Jordan Mutch in our side though.Cardiff scored 3 against Scousepool, we couldn't score any
In fairness he wasn't. He was talking a bit of sense for a change.
He's done it plenty of times before. I've always thought Rooney was better up front then in the hole anyways.
Fair point
Ah.

Moyes is going for the modern approach. He's sticking his fingers up at the detractors and proving us all wrong with this revolutionary approach.
Speaking of revolutionary, Dwight Yorke's attempt at saying "Kagawa" just now was certainly that.
I haven't seen Wayne Rooney lead the line right from the front for us in a long time. Surely becoming accustomed to playing as a number 10 will hinder him as an out and put forward.
He also hasn't scored a great deal from open play over the last 12 months.
Wow that is a disappointing team, I know it's enforced largely due to injury but the defence looks very shaky. West Ham's directness looks like it could cause us a lot of problems. The fact he said he's going to rotate Fellaini/Carrick at centre-back doesn't fill me with confidence either. Surely better to choose one and stick to it, even though they are just poor options anyway.
