Mr_TA: RVP on bench: De Gea; Valencia Carrick Vidic Evra; Nani Cleverley Scholes Kagawa; Welbeck Rooney

we have the strongest bench in europe! berbatov, young, rafael, anderson, van persie, etc

You guys ought to win this match! A narrow margin but a win nonetheless. Everton are traditionally slow starters but then again you never know what the Toffees decide to bring to the table

fellaini and jelavic??
i doubt we would leave goodison park with a clean sheet today.
this is expecting anderson, van persie and young to come in later when the going gets sticky! fellaini would maul carrick aerially! this is a tough match without rio, smalling, evans and jones!

how do we always get injury crisis in defence?

Mr_TA: how do we always get injury crisis in defence?

our medical team is officially the worst in europe - hargreaves called it rightly when he said so. which other club in europe has 4 centre backs injured at the same time? we don't even know how match-ready vidic is after his long lay-off so we have no cover at the back at all!

stats from physioroom.com say united lost 1681 days to injury last season - more than any other club - while city lost fewest, with 186. the margin is so huge one would think our medical staff were trained in oshodi! it's a disgrace that we have now turned into arsenal of 2003-2008 with the sicknotes in the squad!

I fear what they will do to RvP.

van persie's clean bill of health in the last 18 months gives me hope.........

fellaini causing problems.

montelik: fellaini causing problems.

very physical - what's the point playing scholes here when everton would lump it to bypass the midfielders....very ugly match to watch. rooney is back to his shyte self. welbeck has done nothing on the left channel....nani has been wasteful...

only de gea, kagawa and cleverley can walk with their heads high, the others have been choppy. fellaini has won every header against us. it's so baffling....but without de gea, we should be 4 goals down!

Tough first half. We cant get to grips with Fellaini. he's winning every single ball and bullying Carrick.

Good things so far, DDG is sharp and looking good. Kagawa looking promising in the final third but isnt in the match enough. But I really like what I see of him so far. Rooney doesnt look sharp, Welbeck hardly in the match. I definitely see Scholes or Nani getting a 2nd yellow. Which will be a huge problem for us. Rooney and Welbeck off for RvP and young for me.

welbeck and scholes off for me---anderson and young to come in....
in the last 20, remove kagawa for the van man!

Okay, pretty annoying display from United.
This formation has got the MF too clogged up and the boys keep getting in the way of each other's legs.

The left wing is wasting away. Nani should be there wreaking havoc, not swaying from MF to the right like a yoyo.
Rooney is playing too deep 'cos the MF just ain't working.

De Gea has been simply brilliant.

The back 4 are asleep.
Vidic is rusty, Carrick is half blind, dunno what da heck Valencia is doing. Lemme leave Evra for now.

Second half had better be better.

Fellaini the Belgian Bergkamp

He always saves his best for United!

Fellaini scores and they totally deserve it.
Perhaps Fergie will wake up now. *hiss*

why is it carrick marking fellaini not vida. he just totally owned poor carrick.

I dey laugh oh

Blimey - Fellaini annihilating the entire United backline.

Beating United's defenders to every ball that they're now even afraid to come near him. Vidic was trying to mark Osman instead of Fellaini.

Cleverley = useless. He has no business being on the pitch.

I didn't even know he was on the pitch for a long while!
Dunno what hez still doing in there.
Young should come on for him and go man a wing.

changes scholes for ando and welbeck for young

I don't understand when this unnecessary passing started.
Having an ex-Arsenal guy doesn't make us Arsenal.

Spot on!

Didn't I say Cleverley was useless? Empty post he can't score!

OMG, I cannot believe how that did not result in a goal.

RVP on, Welbeck off. Good.
Next should be Cleverly for Young.

Whoz gonna go off for Ando? Scholes perhaps.

everton making a big mistake trying to play/defend for the final whistle.

Young on, Nani off. There ends my dream.

montelik: everton making a big mistake trying to play/defend for the final whistle.

But it does seem to be working. Their defense is pretty solid; United can't seem to unlock it.

Finally the travesty called Cleverley taken off.

One bad game doesn't make him a travesty.

Coleman annihilates Vidic. This is pitiful

Good people of Manc land....it's time to brace yourselves for a first day defeat.

And may I add that this had nothing to do with RVP...game had already gone south way before he came on.

Allow me to test my microphone for the first time this season.
