Starting XI for the derby

[tim cahill]

Fellaini is back in training but Gibson isn't. So Gibson probably won't play.

Ouch! Felt certain he would be back for this one, big blow if he doesn't make it.

I've said 45 times Gibson is unlikely.

Sound like Changy there, Ian.

It did a bit.

Who's Ian?

If Gibson isnt fit, we should definately try Neville in a defensive midfield role.

Agreed, I've always thought Moyes hasn't given him enough chances there.

The answer to our problems has been right there, under our noses all along! Why didn't anyone else think of this?!

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Rather play Neville Southall at defensive midfield than that useless crab Phil Neville.

 

[Joao Moutinho]

Everyone saying on twitter (*shudders*) that Fellaini has been ruled fit if so this is promising but as it is twitter I'd take it with a pinch of salt

I said this already. I think moyes will put neville rb with maybe coleman in front of him. I really think he will put Hitz in midfield beside ossie cos he is the nearest thing to gibson in style that we have.

I would put money on Hitz not starting mate.

 

[Neiler]

A very unattacking line up - think containment - why - not to sure!

Moyes out and such!

not starting mate.

I just have a feeling about it.

It could happen of course. Just can't see it.

The first bit wouldn't surprise me, just with Fellaini rather than Hitz.
