Fletch is Fellaini isn't fit. No Valencia, no Welbeck, no Young, no fecking about.
Our league form is...

4-2-2-2 like City or Brazil of old
No chance at all of us playing like that obviously but one can hope. This has to be the starting 11 though, back 5 pick themselves and then Fletcher next to Carrick is our best midfield and give us the defensive solidity to enable us to play that front 4. Keep Young/Valencia/Cleverley far away from the starting 11 and Welbeck as well unless he will be subbed on for RVP at one point. Actually I'd still rather see Rooney pushed up as lone striker and have Kagawa come on for RVP if he can't last the full 90, have Kagawa-Mata-Januzaj behind Rooney We'll win this though, I'm guessing our first comfortable victory at Old Trafford this season. They're bottom of the league (but so was Cardiff and we struggled, so was Sunderland I think and we lost).

If this isn't a comfortable victory...
Now we'd probably need to go and beat Arsenal at the Emirates too.

1-1 and the pressure gets worse
Ever the optimist, eh Francis?
Rene gets Moyes sacked and Fergie comes back until end of season.
This is me being optimisticEver the optimist, eh Francis?
Imagine that actually happened...Oh the irony
We better win this and should. Though in current form and luck nothing in certain anymore. Boys should be looking to bounce back at the very least. I would love a big win, just to get the confidence flowing again.
All you optimists need to stop with the 4-2-3-1 formation. Get the 4-4-2s out
In an ill omen for United Rene will accidentally walk up to the home team's technical area to sit down, this is then greeted with cheers from the OT crowd just as Moyes is revealed at the tunnel's entrance.
Valencia, Cleverley, Carrick, Young it is then
Rene knows more about our squad that Moyes will ever do. Expect Fulham to get a draw here.

Fulham are dog shite, they'd have no business getting a result against us. We're not going to play good football, if we win it'll be far from convincing, if we lose, Moyes won't be sacked. The rest of the season, Champions League aside, is all a bit 'meh' to me.
They're the worst side in the league, we really have to win this.
Great attitude!
This is going to be the longest week ever, while we stew on yesterday's defeat.
It's almost impossible to see us playing well, I just hope we can at least match their possession and scrape a win.
What a fecking disaster this season has turned out to be, I really can't get my head around it. Playing the bottom side and being honestly concerned about getting beat at OT. Nightmare.

Beating Fulham at OT isn't so much the problem [i can us achieving a grubby 1-0 or 2-1], that arises when Moyes must formulate and effective plan for the Arsenal match and any proper run of decent performances.

Need to win it handsomely to get some confidence going before Arsenal game and CL round of 16.

A bit of trivia... When was the last time fulham beat us at Old Trafford in a league game?
2003-04. 3-1.
25 Oct, 2003 – Man United -Fulham 1-3
Another record for Dave to smash?
Worst team in the league ATM, if we don't win we are just utterly shite
You just know Rene is going to outsmart Moyes and nick the points
The personnel, and formation are beyond irrelevant now. Even our best XI doesn't produce better football because they're being asked to do the same predictable things.
All I'd like is for us to be even mildly easy on the eye and enjoyable to watch. This will probably end up like the Cardiff game though.
We have four consecutive away games after this one, starting with Arsenal away midweek. I hope we don't go crazy with the rotation.

Please, one decent game. Just give us one decent game where I don't want to cry at the end of the 90 minutes.
Don't care at all, the league (4th essentially) is gone, doesn't matter if we finish 7th or 10th. Of course I will watch, I always do, but I can't bring myself to be excited anymore. It's all just miserable with Moyes in the dugout. Think we will win this 2-0, much like the Cardiff performance, before getting stuffed at the Emirates three days later, without having much of a chance to get a point.
Van Persie to score both our goals. Don't care about the line-up either, but it will definitely include Valencia and Young, because 'we got to the byline a lot'.

4-0.
We are due a draw and that is what Moyes will play for. 1-1 written all over it. Young, Valencia, Cleverley and Welbeck all to have awful games.
Wonder if Tunnicliffe and Cole will be involved...
Got 8 days to sort out shit out now and work on getting that front four playing together.
Fletcher's had a good rest and Carrick needs game time. Jones sounds like he's fine and it's about time we played him at the back with Smalling.

No excuses with that team, 4-0.

I think I read that jones has been ruled out of the next game, possibly as a precaution.
I had a look and all I could see was that he'd had a scan and been given the all clear?

Wouldn't surprise me given we did similar with Vidic after his concussion.
