If you look at our first team its really not that bad. Especially if everyone can find some form.

DDG in goal with Rafael, Evans, Vidic and Evra in defence. Fellaini and Carrick in the middle with either Valencia or Nani on the right Rooney in the hole and Kagawa on the left, then RvP upfront. On form that's a strong team and equally as good as any of our rivals teams.

I would play Nani against the weaker teams as he is a very good player when playing well. I would build his confidence up gradually. I think it's clear that he will sign for Juve on a free next summer, after talks with them last week and them saying he will sign a new deal with us, I think they told him to do a Llorente and come back next summer.

I completely agree, however I would be brave and play Zaha on the right, but you're point stands true, our first 11 has the potential to be strong.

Like you I'm sure, the concern of the majority is that Cleverly and Giggs will creep in to the side too often - particularly at the expense of our only genuine number 10 Kagawa. I don't feel Rooney plays that role well as he goes chasing the ball too much - even though that is an admirable quality.

Whilst he's not in the team I am also concerned by Rio's form - on the ball. Defending is solid, but his speed of distribution is appalling. Doesn't help that I'm still pissed at how he was tweeting about stupid scores he got on a game app on his phone not too long after the Liverpool defeat.

I posted the same thing earlier Shappy. I think that's the best 11 in league. We just need everyone fit. Fellaini is a very good signing.

While I agree we can put out a very strong team indeed, if Moyes keeps making dubious team selections, we're not going to get the best out of our squad. That is a concern of mine.

The wingers really need to buck up and get a good run of form and quick. They have been poor to say the least and leaves our midfield under huge pressure to create when the wingers don't do much. They also keep losing the ball in great positions which is frustrating.

I can't see a 4-4-2 being used. I think we'll go between 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3. For me, i'd be playing any 3 of Kagawa, Rooney, Nani, Valencia and Zaha behind RVP. Young needs to be used as injury cover and for lesser games. he's not up to the standard. I genuinely hope Zaha gets lots of games. such an exciting player to watch and seems fairly comfortable anywhere in the final third.

I actually agree with this, the transfer window was a shambles but our strongest XI is pretty strong. Our squad is incredibly deep across most positions too and we're at least slightly better off than last season. Let's just hope Kagawa is integrated effectively because that makes all the difference IMO.

Leave Nani, I agree until that point, give Zaha & Junuzaj a chance along with Kags & Rooney behind Van Persie. We can`t let anymore young talent leave because of lack of game time, won`t mention the P word.

Fairly sure Nani has either signed a new contract or is shortly going to. Moyes seems to have faith in him and let's be honest he's got more talent than Young.

He looks very eager to do well this year too.
