Manchester United v Stoke. 1.30pm

Mars Bar

Baz man, you've let me down with your lack of match threads recently.

v

United need to pick up a win today on the travels to make it their first win of the season.
Eh, I really don't know much about Stoke except that they are sitting in 13th place and that their fans are very loud.

Share yer predicted teams and scores!

O shea middle of the park?

Mars Bar

Wonder what's up with Ando?!

I don't like that line up.

Actually, I don't like that line up with that shape.

Spud83

oshea at left back maybe with evra on the wing.

CR 7

NNooooo! Took far too long to find kits for my one.:(

flahavaj

Odd team selection - not confident.

Not producing, liability

sofireland

Seemed to pick up an injury on Wednesday, he went straight down the tunnel didn't he.

CR 7

I think Scholes, Nani and Berba should bring out the best in Chicho. 1-0 to United.

d22ontour

Gonna be a tough game, shape of the line up looks odd to say the least...

I think you may be right actually. Makes much more sense.

Ando coulda made a difference in this game, sad to see the injury.

MagicMarker

I would rather see Obertan on the left than Evra tbh. I think O'Shea will be on the right.

Gonzovision

I think Stoke will get a point today

I'm glad Anderson and park are no where near the team today. They've played well in fits and starts in the last few games. No consistency from either of them.

You prefer a LB on the LW? Or a defender in central midfield?

Anderson had a good game against Bursaspor. I think it's clear he has picked up a knock rather than been dropped.

Mitch Connor

Very, very unsure of this United side.

If it is Evra in midfield I would be ok with that (and O'Shea LB) but if O'Shea is in midfield, I really really worry about this side.

I reckon it will be a 433. with O'Shea in midfield with Scholes and Fletcher, with Nani and Chico on the wings (wrong position for Chico, but Fergie has already deployed him there a few times) and Berbatov in the centre.

With Giggs and Valencia out injured and Park simply shít at the moment it does give us problems on the wing though. It is times like this especially that I wish we had kept Cleverley at the club, I think he would have been a very welcome addition to our side.

He was energetic n played one nice through ball.wasn't that impressive. I'm not his biggest fan, but he's young and umfit so um sure there is more to come... how much though I'm not so sure. Im happy he isnt fit for today to be honest

Paul Tergat

Looks like a 4-5-1 to me. Really hope its not 4-4-2 with Fletch shunted wide.

I do worry about Neville, especially up against Etherington who can give him problems!

Big test for Chico too and would be nice to see more of what him and Berba can do.

Cmon United!

sofireland

Didn't O'Shea score last year?! He's our goal threat!!!
Sky have Evra on the wing, we'll see how they line up!

Rekop dog

When's the last time Stoke even scored against united??

eclectichoney

Is Park injured? seems od dthat he is left out if not.

Not sure about JOS in midfield at all ...

MagicMarker

Well what do ya know, Evra is on the left!

Insect Overlord

That Stoke crowd is unreal.

dubmick

Owen injured yeah?

everdead.ie

"Chelsea the only team to win at the brittania this season" was spurs 2-1 win a figment of my imagination?

dubmick

Berbatov is doing some serious moaning out there

everdead.ie

Good to see Wilson starting the match

Peyton Manning

This is awful stuff

It's a proper Brawl so far who ever has the bigger stronger fitter lads look like they'll win very little skill required so far

CHICHARITO! What reactions and agility. Brilliant header!

Quandary

Mushy

Just as my brother was saying Utd don't do enough little set-piece routines. Good header!

dubmick

Well done Chico, such a smart striker

Jax Teller

Jaysus who would have taught Chico would score a header against stoke .

CR 7

Great finish, salmon like leap.

Fuhrer

Nice little Exorcist impression

Peyton Manning

Fantastic goal
