    QPR lost all their away games before Ramsey took over, that doesn't mean you'd be playing the same pushovers if you played them at Old Trafford today.

    I think the game will suit us so long as we play well. Sherwood tends to make games open and disorganised and we have plenty that can take advantage of that. If we play well is the key though.

    Mason on the right, presumably? I wouldn't mind that but I'd like to see:

    Vorm
    Chiriches, Dier, Vertonghen, Davies
    Mason, Bentaleb
    Andros/Erik, Eriksen, Rose
    Kane

    Rose and Mason give pace to our attacks in different ways, which we'll need. Fazio might be more of a match for Benteke physically but as we saw with Bony at Swansea, he can't mark for **** which will make him more damaging for us against a striker that can score. I'd porbably go for Townsend over Lamela but I have a feeling this would be a game that suits both.

    Fazio starts...guess in verts absence he is preferred as he will battle with benteke instead of allow himself to be bullied

    Vorm; Chiriches, Dier, Fazio, Rose; Bentaleb, Mason; Townsend, Eriksen, Chadli; Kane (c)
    Friedel, Davies, Yedlin, Lamela, Paulinho, Stambouli, Soldado

    Yedlin makes the bench for the first time, but no place for Dembele in the 18.

    There's not 1 person in that 18 who could or should be captain really.

    Fazio captained Sevilla for about a week, just before we bought him.
    He's not a regular in the side and I've no idea if his English is any good, though.
    Chiriches is Romania's captain, but he has the same issues.

    Tony Gale talking up Ciaran Clark's England chances.
    He's played 10 times for the Republic of Ireland. <doh>

    Clark replaced by Baker. Looked like his own teammate jarred his knee on that corner, to me.
    Hope it's nothing serious.

    Fazio should put that on target, but he did well to make so much space for himself.

    Rose with our first shot on target. Guzan's a little lucky that didn't fall to anyone in a good position.

    Lovely ball for Chadli by Kane, but the Belgian should do better.
    The subsequent corner's a waste, too.

    1-0 Villa, Benteke. Nobody closing down the cross and a very easy header into the far post.
    Fazio should do better, Rose should block the cross and Vorm doesn't get near it.

    Sloppy, lazy start and we've looked devoid of ideas, again.
    On the beach.
