Seeing Moyes' team today, he has targeted playing us as his must win game. As has been mentioned on here this is one game he won't or dare not lose. When you consider today there was no RVP, Rafael, Ferdinand, Giggs or Januzaj in their team who I consider to be in their best starting 11, (Giggs wouldn't be in it, but he is in for Carrick) he desperately wants to beat us. Saying that Roberto did rest Miralles and Barkley and all things considered I don't think yesterday will have taken too much out of us physically. Roberto will not play for a draw but I will be happy with one. However it would be an unbelievable show of intent, if we did mange to win there.

I was just going to say "I'd hate losing to Moyes", but he's just an empty vessel who names the first team for the day (another man's signings) and sits in the dugout while Rooney goes through his weekly Herculean task of pulling the rest of them over the line.

I can't shake the feeling that Moyes is on the phone to Fergie before each match asking for help.

He's the Medvedev To Fergie's Putin.

If it's a 'must win game' for Moyes, then we're in luck. He never wins those.
 
Tell you what, it's utterly boss that we can trust a manager to pick a team to do the right job.

Christ knows what team he'll pick. Nobody was close to getting Saturday's team. And even when it came out people, including me, had doubts but it was perfect really.

He'll pick a boss team.
 
Jones being suspended would suggest that Fellaini will be back in the side. I quite fancy us to do something. I don't think we'll be afraid to go at them. If we can keep Rooney quiet I don't think they have much else to cause us problems.

4-2-2-1-1, short passing game, all over the pitch closing down, building from the back... Its what we've done every game this season.
Deulofue/Pienaar/Mirallas is the only question mark regarding team picked as well I would say.

Nah I dont see it that way mate.

As I mentioned earlier, theres every chance we could see a back 3 a la Everton v Wigan last year which totally outfoxed Moyes.

He could stick McCarthy or Barry on Rooney man-marking, dropping Barkley or Osman a little deeper.

Are we gonna go high pressing, or sit in our own half and look to squeeze the game and counter quickly when we get it?

I reckon you are doing Roberto a injustice if you think he hasnt got an eye on surprising Moyes and his likely 11/style.

I genuinely think Moyes wont change a thing, and it is for Martinez to plan the best way to attack them.
