    can't look further than RVP IMO, fair enough he didn't score last night but if you spend over 12.5m on a striker you gotta captain him plus the fact the guy is capable of scoring at any time!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭ghosttown


    Walcott for me.

    Is he not a defensive mid these days?

    think that was just temporary. he played in his usual role up front against WBA. Also Gibson came on in the second half so with him back fit i think it's odds on for Fell to play up front

    Didn't see last night's game. Was he back playing off the striker?

    How did Anichebe do?

    people are overplaying the Fellaini DM thing.

    he's ever so slightly more defensive minded at the moment, but he's actually switching positions regularly.

    he was regularly in the box against WBA, and had a shot hit the woodwork.

    i'm certainly not rushing to rid myself of him before a home game with Villa.

    yep, like i said back playing in his usual position

    didn't see the match, but i imagine Anichebe being Anichebe, he was crap

    Indeed; probably for me too. Fulham can be pretty obdurate at home when they fancy it and I'd be a little surprised if United run riot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭Jax Teller


    Fellaini was playing deeper than Phil Neville last night . He certainly wasn't playing his usual role that's for certain .

    They lined up like

    Fellaini Neville
    Osman Mirallas Piennaar
    Anichebe

    With Mirallas & Pienaar swapping every so often .

    I was flicking between the Arsenal & Everton game on Laptop .

    Didn't United hammer them by 5 or 6 last season though at Craven Cottage? Fulham haven't been playing great lately even though they just beat West Ham.

    Van Persie or Walcott.

    We will beat Stoke at home, they are not playing well these days and are poor away from home. Walcott is in great form.

    RVP is an obvious enough one too. Should have got one last night, Fulham are pretty average this season from what I can see and can roll over for United.

    spoke with a mate everton fan he watched the game and said the exact same as above . Fellani has been quoted as saying his best position is DM personally don't agree . Im keeping him this week as even Phil Neville cud score against villa.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,581 ✭✭✭prettyboy81


    I'm going for Afroman Fellaini....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    debating walcott very strongly have captained him twice he has got me 52 pts and 22 pts. He has been very consistent in his last 12 starts he has only had 2 pointers twice. Stoke have been really struggling at left back in recent weeks so he could run riot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,809 ✭✭✭q2ice


    Voted for RVP but seriously considering Ba. Since he didn't start last night it looks like he will start against Newcastle. And players always seem to score one or two against their old teams


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,133 ✭✭✭Stevecw


    Going with Theo, reckon he'll get at least 1


  • Posts: 12,762 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Leaning towards Walcott, but tempted to give it to Baines. Only thing holding me back is his high score from last week. Can't see him scoring like that two gw in a row...


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,246 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Walcott for me, Stoke haven't been great defensively lately and he's on good form.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    RVP.

    Fulham are leaky and United banged in 4 the other week. Also without Berbs they won't have much attack, I think United will score at least 2.

    Playing it safe with RVP. Bar his United debut there's only been two other game weeks where he hasn't scored or assisted. Fulham at home aren't the home team of last season. United could easily put 3 or 4 past them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,383 ✭✭✭S.M.B.


    Wha?

    They have a lot of new signings too so might be disjointed

    Walcott or RVP?????


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,490 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Have it on Felliani but ill probably bottle it and go with RVP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,596 ✭✭✭RedorDead




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,317 ✭✭✭kevohmsford


    I am going with Lampard this week as captain.


  • Posts: 17,735 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    RVP Captain, Walcott VC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 215 ✭✭jolim24601


    I am going with Lampard this week as captain.

    im extremely tempted to put him in for the wigan game next week..he scored a hattrick against them last season. hazard will be back by then though and he'll probably be benched?? :(

    Him scoring a hattrick against them last season is of questionable relevance imo. Doesn't mean very much.
