Well, basically the entire first choice back four, plus the only DM are all missing but due to come back by the end of February. Any team is going to struggle with all their best defenders out.

I genuinely think this is possible.

Would play the same system Chelsea did with Di Matteo, 4-2-3-1 with the 3 rotating.
RVP
Mata - Kagawa - Rooney/Junzusjaifrj
Rooney shouldn't be an automatic choice, guy is too much of a cancer at the club. Threatening to leave every 5 mins, thinking he is world class, gambling and eating pies.
Me too. But Arsenal are gonna win the CL. Sorry Tim.
I think each sub adds 30 seconds to the ref's watch, there's three minutes there. Then there was an injury and a penalty.
Nope, we were the better team by far. Fulham's goals were from Liverpool errors.
You took one point out of 6 off Moychester United. ONE.
With the power of love, yes.
He certainly celebrated the foul with a pulling fist pump.
No, but we can clank a result when needed.

Won't happen. Arsenal are 6 points ahead and with the goal difference it's basically 7.
This luck business. This isn't Everton.

United tonight proved they can play with the big boys!
Moyes has a long contract (6 years) and just needs more time.

Just fuck off Moyes, I've has enough now.
I don't think Higuain would have been as good for us as he is for Napoli right now. He mostly seems to score because he has willpower to do it and I doubt he would have that at Emirates which is silent as graveyard compared to Napoli's stadium.
He still would have been better than Giroud for sure but without Özil we wouldn't be in top 4 in the first place.
Just got in to find Liverpool won. Fucking shite. And thanks Newcastle for actually being a one man team you shit cunts.
Anyway, our game. Under different circumstances I'd be reasonably happy with that. Still far too many long balls, but I felt we defended well, showed variety in our approaches coming forward and were it not for an absolute wonder save would have won that. Carrick was the best player on the pitch for me.
Unfortunately Cleverley was anonymous, Mata not much better save a few nice passes. But hopefully Fellaini can come back and free him up to do a little more.
Like I say, if this comes in November or with us closer to the top, I'd deem it a fine point. As it is, with Liverpool's win, it does nothing.

Watching us play has become so fucking boring. I don't enjoy watching us play anymore. Unbelievably dull football.
So we defended slightly better, who fucking cares?
Not losing was not the objective if Moyes had any fucking guts. We should've been trying to win. He's put us in this position and now he's doubling down by setting up negatively, leaving us further behind the pack.
Please do fuck off out of our club thanks.

Not gonna disagree with that. Thought it was probably Carrick's best performance of an admittedly lacklustre season and Cleverley made a really solid account of himself.
you must be proud
hope you attended every match last season when Bayern Munich legend Mitchell Weiser was playing there on loan.
Am I the only member of Bayern-Gaf actually living in Bayern?
From the brief cameo he looked very comfortable on the ball, I liked what I saw.
I'm not sure about next weekend as we are at home, but away from home I can see him in central midfield along side Henderson allowing Gerrard to play further up the pitch, like he did towards the end of the second half.
But I do think that the lack of attacking fullbacks is causing use problems against teams that sit back. I don't think we are stretching play very well. It results in Suarez and Sturridge having to stretch play and then try to beat four people to get an angle to shoot, or cross the ball to no one in the box.
Hopefully Agger will be fully fit for the next PL game, at the very least he can bring some composure to our back line.
(((((((((((Damn, you do usually get shit right.
OH NO HANG ON A MINUTE.
