even if we don't sign a creative player then for christ's sake at least give Kagawa, Januzaj the chance they deserve as its getting frustrating seeing the likes of Giggs playing instead of them.
1.) Moyes picks worng side zhara, kagawa, januzaj even lingard, look like players we so.clearly missing yes I know somehad knocks and long trips om international but surly one of them could take giggs, younge, nani out side they was all so poor at weekend, plus what is going off jones has to.go.ofd smalling on.bench but no moyes drops on the most attack minded player we had on bench and real pace what people think?
2.) I believe Moyes was just choosing experience when he had his first game in charge and then with Chelsea and Liverpool did the same as they're massive games, he didn't want to lose by a few goals which is always the risk you run when selecting a young inexperienced side. I reckon we'll see Zaha and Kagawa against Palace. Hopefully Januzaj too.

As much as I admire Ryan Giggs and the class of 92 please don't let sentiment get in the way of making the right decision! We need a big personality . a touch of arrogance. and most importantly a proven winner as a manager! Step forward Louis Van Gaal.
1.) Gus Poyet would be a better choice .
2.) Better than who Cheshire?
Surely you mean Giggs and not LvG?
3.) Poyet you are joking mate. LVG please

Personally I think some of the best football we played last year was when we adopted the "diamond formation" and I think we should do it again. Carrick as the holding midfielder with Kagawa, Cleverly and Januzaj making up the rest of the diamond. This I think will let us keep hold of the ball, create chances and allow our full backs to attack which they are both good at. If we play the diamond we would have more control of the game and with the likes of rvp Rooney Kagawa and Januzaj in the line up plenty of chances would be created. Our wingers haven't performed for 2 years now so a change in formation is paramount to the remainder of our season.
1.) I agree but I don't think it will happen.
Everything point to moyes wanting to keep rooney happy by playing him in his favourite position up front.
He rarely played 4-4-2 at everton so why stubbornly refuse to change from it now?
IMO he needs to be brave and change it quickly but in the situation were in ATM is he brave enough to make changes to the formation? personally i'd try 3-5-1-2 with DDG, Vidic, smalling, jones, Rafael, buttner, fellaini, carrick, cleverly, kags/adnan, rooney, RVP. people may niot agree but it would make us a lot more solid in the middle and allow us to be more fluid in attack and allow our wingbacks to tuck in when we don't have the ball while having players available to press high up the pitch without leaving us exposed. just a thought
2.) I think that's one of the best ideas I've heard in a while! Like a 4 1 2 1 2 formation? Carrick holding (Fellaini when Carrick is rested) then Januzaj slightly left, Kagawa in the middle and Cleverly slightly right with them all interchanging. With Rooney and Rvp up top. The fullbacks providing the width when attacking. Then when defending the fullbacks fall back and Cleverly falls back next to Carrick and we defend with a 4 4 2.I reckon that's the best option we currently have. Thoughts guys?
3.) Oops obvs meant 3-4-1-2 with fellaini/carrick next to clevs and adnan/kags linking them to rooney and RVP up front with buttner and rafael as wingbacks :/ haha

Bfa, I know things aren't great atm but trying to sneak an extra man on the pitch might not go down well with the authorities. Lol.
5.) Haha shapps,
Im on my phone and couldn't read it back properly.
I know what I meant even if I do feel like a bit of a div now haha
We could try it though eh? like you said we need all the help get ATM :)
6.) Nik,
I was thinking 3 at the back with wingbacks, a midfield 3 but with kags/adnan pushed up behind rooney and RVP.
I think this would allow us to push the wingbacks up when attacking so we would be basically attacking with 6 or 7 players without being too exposed as the number of players pushing up would mean the opposition would have no choice but to defend with 8 or 9.
When we don't have possesion the wingbacks drop along with the 2 holding midfielders to defend with7 but allowing us to keep kags/adnan, rooney and RVP higher for a counter attack.
obvs it wouldn't always work, particularly against another team playing with wingbacks but it could be effective against teams playing a back 4 like most do
7.) We might do better playing a 4-4-4 formation :)
8.) Nik that's exactly what I was eluding to. I just think we could control games much better, create plenty of chances and everyone playing in there favoured positions. This I believe would help us no end and a very fluid formation.

The starting 11 for tonight my fellow reds is . DDG, Rafael, Evans, Smalling, Buttner, Nani, Jones, Giggs, Kagawa, Rooney, Hernandez.
1.) I really hope we don't see Giggs in the starting 11 tonight. No disrespect to him, but I would rather see him on the sidelines with the coaching staff.

i hope u are right, btw guy's something have happend I can't login so i'm registering myself again and this time I will use my ps3 username and that's thenew52, zee:)
3.) Fairplay MELONS, called it. how did you know so early?
4.) Yeah what the hell Melons! When I saw it a minute ago I rushed straight back to this site to find your post. How did you know at 3?! Or just a lucky guess?
Fair play.
5.) Yes my friend true inside information!
May it long continue!
Makes a refreshing change, or was it an incredibly good guess
6.) That is a brilliant call. Insider?!
7.) Melons, if your David moyes :p Can you please keep giggs as a back up and use Zaha and januza and plug that midfield.
Nice call on the team

There was a genuine reason why we didn't go for ozil! DM was jealous that ozils eyeballs were bigger than his and didn't want to get into a staring contest with him.
1.) No it was because Edward Woodward thought he could save some money by playing himself in midfield. Apperently he heard lots of people at Anfield shouting that we desperately needed the equalizer.
2.) Haha! Brilliant.

I'm getting nervous. Are we going to get any deals over the line? Come on the equaliser redeem yourself.
Arsenal are meant to be in advanced talks with him. Can't see us getting him bud unfortunately.
Gundogan? Maybe the reason the equaliser was in Germany
Better than who Cheshire?
Surely you mean Giggs and not LvG?
Nik that's exactly what I was eluding to. I just think we could control games much better, create plenty of chances and everyone playing in there favoured positions. This I believe would help us no end and a very fluid formation.
I posted the team further down at around 3ish. I don't get any info on transfers but I do get to know team selections
Anniewithoutmakeup I think you've been p£ssed all summer with your so called nailed on transfers.
Sneijder has said Liverpool bid for him Sydney it wasn't us. Although if the window went on for another hour I wouldn't have put it past us the way we were going.
