Fellaini did some okay stuff in this game, but it’s still not clear why he’s not playing the position he was bought to play in – the position he apparently wants to play and is his best position. The sending off was pre-arranged between the referee and the United coaching staff. United had to catch a flight back and didn’t want tree-chops taking the whole of Autumn to get back into the changing room.

*Kags changed the game when playing the number 10, and looked so much better than Rooney there shocker* etc.

*Ashley Young in dive shocker* etc.

I was, as it happens, generally pleased with the way Moyes set the team up and kind of took the game to them, and I also thought the substitutions were good too. There’s that word ‘good’ again.

Okay, no ‘Real Dad’ references this time. That doesn’t count. This is very, very, very serious…

A bit of momentum is a wonderful thing, as we can testify being United fans and all. I’m fairly sure though that not even Moyes himself buys the party-line he’s been peddling, of us ‘being notorious slow starters, regardless of who’s in charge’ … but that’s not to give him credit for finally having found a footing; and in no small part down to him having given Adnan his chance. As much as I’ve been – although with tongue-firmly-in-cheek –  doing my Plan A(dnan) joke (‘joke’ in the loosest sense of the word, as ever),  I do think his introduction to the first team has been pretty good manageringness on Moyes’ part. Having dedicated so much of this to Adnan, I think Moyes would be wise to rest him tonight, obvs.

We’ve got a few injuries coming into this week and so Moyes’ manageringness will be very much tested – possibly more than in previous weeks?! I’m sure he’ll be keen to continue the Champions’ League form through, but at what cost? with the Arsenal game on Sunday. I expect we’ll be playing for a 0-0 with emphasis on our own 0.

So, a packed, compact midfield, with Kags (more as a false 4) in behind Chicha? Smalling, Jones, and Vidic across the back and Fellaini so deep, he’ll be rubbing shoulders with the fans behind the goal. Very little else to get excited about … apart from the Kags and Chicha bit.

Prediction: 0-1. Danny with his customary two. Kags with a jazzer, to give Moyes a reminder of what people keep telling him he can do. Would actually go 0-0, but will never allow myself to predict anything but a win.

My football heart, football hurts. I’m not enjoying the football at the moment – its a Rooney thing, a Swag thing and a Danny thing. However, I’m only going to talk about the good…

Good for Rooney that he feels so good. Good.

Good that David Moyes – in the absence of Plan A(dnan) – has figured out a Plan B(e lucky with own goals). Good.

Good that Jones and Evans kept their places. Good. Actually, that one is good.

It’s all good, in the good hood. Good.

So, not for the first time this season, David Moyes is having to compete with a Real ‘dad for tomorrow’s headlines. I don’t geddit. No, seriously, that doesn’t work.

As much as I love Januzaj (and I do), I hope he’s rested in preperation for the Stoke game at the weekend. Danny’s got this. It will mean scrapping Plan A(dnan), but maybe Moyes could try something else. Just an idea. I dunno. Having said that we’re crying out for some consistency in the team line-up; squad rotation is all good fun until someone loses and eye (for eye read: lots of games of football you should win). Moyes has been tinkering more than Tinks Tinkerton from Tinkertown. See also Fergie.

Let’s douche this!

Prediction: 2-0. Danny with his customary two. Other goals from Jonny Evans, with an overhead kick, and Fellaini, lol. Phil Neville to remove his Phil Neville mask – in the wake of Chris Woods removing his Chris Woods’ mask, last week,  to reveal he was Chris Woods all along – to reveal he was Phil Neville all along.

p.s I very much advise getting your optical gear round this by @DanielHarris

Where has it gone wrong for Manchester United and David Moyes?
