    Team is out and it's not pretty. A puzzling selection but let's see what happens i'll take the worst game of football I've ever seen in exchange for a 1 nil win please footballing gods.....

    Bit of a strange line up, assume JOS and Larson in midfield with Januzaj in front of them?

    Moyes is a F***ing IDIOT !

    No Midfield at all, playing for a draw when a win is available!

    Larrson will do Nowt except wave his arms about and point to people as usual and I have a feeling O,Shea will give away a penalty with his 'Holding' play.

    Wonder if Denayer us injured? He's been excellent so am guessing that's the case. Ndong benched after a poor game. Interesting to see how it pans out

    Well Moyes will have some **** if we get beat as that team looks poor, hopefully he proves me wrong!

    I might be in the minority here but I think he has set that team up to play a no frills Burnley side, with a couple of options on the bench if it goes tits up.

    I can see that team getting a win today..<ok>

    Not sure really. A lot on here have slated Ndong so he's been left out. Denayer must have an issue as he's been one of our best players recently so what other options does Moyes have? I reckon he'll line up 3-5-2 with wing backs. Oshea in defence and Larsson in font covering the full back slot. Although I'm not sure who else as the rest of the tam outside of. Dance and Larsson is pretty attacking! Borini, Januzaj and Anichebe aren't going to play dm! So maybe 4-2-3-1 but ****ed if I know!

    I think he's playing 3 defenders with wing backs, mate. Larsson in the holding role <doh>

    This is how I see it.... 3-3-3-1

    ------------------ Mannone -------------------

    ------ Kone --- O'Shea --- Djilobodji ----

    Jones ---------- Larsson ----- Van Aaanholt

    -- Januzaj ------ Borini ----- Anichebe ---

    -------------------- Defoe -----------------------

    That can be quite attacking when the full backs push up.

    Did you not see what I said.... Dance and Larsson? Gets no better than that!

    Aye I hope you are too. I can't work out the formation. Playing 3-5-2 works better if you have 2 holding mids. No idea but I guess I'll find out once I get chance to watch it if my laptop ever starts working

    Kone off for Ndong with an injury.

    Probably gives us a better shape dropping JOS alongside Papy.

    Another injury however.
