Man Utd v Everton. 5th October at 12.00.

[BlueToff]

To come back for Villa (hopefully):
Coleman
McCarthy
Distin
Pienaar

Lille/Burnley:
Barkley

Stones hopefully not too long after that. If he's torn his ligaments he'll be out for 2 months and it'll be surgery. If it's just a badly tilted ankle then fingers crossed it'll be 4 weeks and he'll be back by November.

Mirallas probably early December.

Browning

Yeah and no. My issue with playing browning is that one mistake can seriously affect his confidence, I'm all for giving the kids a go but not when the rest of the team are playing like dog turd and totally down in the dumps.

but maybe his enthusiasm will give the others a boost.

like to see a change on formation though, see if it helps

 

[ijjysmith]

We're not missing Distin. That's for sure.

 

[BlueToff]

I think his hold up play gets worse through the game because of tiredness, and its why I can sort of accept it

agree. Rom is superb facing goal. But we're not playing to his strengths. Martinez needs to change it

 

[nsno-chris]

28m on a huge striker, Stick him on the wing

Moyesesque

 

[mrb85]

The same last year, at least change the gameplan once in a while and try feeding him in behind the back four.

I can accept criticism of his hold up play, but not playing to his strength his a major ball ache

We've got to face it that RM will not change. he believes possession is the key to winning games. The players have been sucked into this way of thinking themselves. Check out how often in post match interviews an Everton player will say something to the effect that they were always expecting to get the equaliser/winner.

See your point too. Then again, it's always going to be one of those risks. Really, when is he ready? We'll never know unless he's given a chance to show us. Villa shouldn't be too much for him based on his cameos against Liverpool and man u

 

[BlueToff]

We're not missing Distin. That's for sure.

He'll be back against Villa.

*Self harms

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

The glass is always hal

We've also played 3 who will end up in the bottom 6.

the glass is always half empty?

 

[nsno-chris]

It all comes from training ground, play to his strength or spunk £28m

 

[ImKoneKoneKoneKone]

World class striker on the bench, brings on osman. Says it all. Be arsed

Again though, with Barkley and Kev missing, and Pienaar unfit, we lack any creativity.

Need to be looking at a creative midfielder in Jan. Tadic would've been the answer.

Ossie did well when he came on in fairness.

We lost, he did nothing. Everyones too gentle on the team

This is where he needs to step up to the plate and prove to all his plaudits that hes the real deal. Sticking square pegs in round holes was one of moyes downfalls, surely RM cannot fall into this trap.

we all like beautiful football, but when thats not even evident thenchanges are must, changing ppersonnel is not the answer, just ask davey boy
