I think he may have to go with Barkley over Osman just to get the fans back onside.

Count me in in the petty side too, the RS drive me up the wall and that diving sod again got them a victory on the weekend and will no doubt do so again with a minute left of the season to achieve CL football.

Regarding Suarez let me tell you from bitter experience going all the way back to Ian St John in the 60s they ALWAYS replace with an equivalent or better who's destiny is to score in every derby.

Manager probably leaving, out the Cup, key players looking for a move, strikers who can't buy a goal, and no fresh faces.

We also have our most difficult run-in for many a year, at grounds we all know the manager hopes for a draw as a good result.

Sorry, just cannot see any light at the moment - now where's that noose?

The games against City, Arsenal, Spurs and Chelski are no lose situations for BK and DM, they'll just pull out the funding card (we're expected to lose or at most draw). It's QPR, Sunderland, Fulham etc where they will be under the magnifiying glass.

I predict us finishing 8th tbh - can see one of west brom or swansea nicking in front of us over the coming weeks.

Season is over - only the derby match left that's of any real importance.

I desperately want the win and a push for Europe but would just hate the win to take the pressure of the Management. The smaller clubs we have to play should be easy wins for us......you would hope.

Move on? Sought out the lack of clean sheets, and the misfiring attack or the grief will continue.

In terms of RS, I am not qualified to talk (not living in LP) but it seems to me that our relationship with them has changed radically. In the past, looking from afar, we seemed to have a more friendly rivalry and there have been times (eg mid 80s) when both teams were successful at the same time. I think that the EPL, UCL and the hyper commercialisation of the game has changed that. Basically, we are not just local football rivals we are commercial rivals. We want them to fail and they want us to fail. That is why they don't want to ground share with us as it would be good for us commercially. That is why I think it is important for us to finish above them, have a proper go at them in the derby and wish them all of the misfortune in the world (if only Timmy was here to take Suarez out after 5 mins).

I don't expect any changes other than Gibbo starting. My preference would be for the Big Fella to play his defensive holding midfield providing he has not been dropped and bring in Barkley in a forward position supporting the striker, possibly Big Vic although against City it will be an almighty task to play up front on his own.

Unfortunately the team can't afford to have Mirallas and Pienaar in the side at the same time so I would rest Pienaar and give him a run after 70 minutes.

Both Osman and Neville should be rested but it won't happen. I would like Moyes to step down as manager/coach if we get a good hiding and hand over the reins to some one with a bit more positivity about them.

With that in mind it would be great to see a little freshness and new impetus in the team and top of the list must be Barkley, Duffy and Mcaleny who now has 5 goals in the last 6 reserve team matches.

Personally I think Fellaini should be dropped for his turning around after misplacing a pass fiasco against Wigan so would try this team:

Mucha
Coleman Duffy Distin Baines
Mirallas Gibson Barkley Pienaar
Mcaleny
Anichebe

Of course theres about as much chance of that happening as Dale Winton cracking Hollywood and perhaps it would be not the kindest or easiest introduction to the young lads but at the same time it would appear there is not that much to lose with expectations so low and at least it would give us fans something new to try and raise the flagging spirits.

Can't believe that no one has mentioned moyes decision to let McMannaman go after his goal against us for Wigan. This was a lad who was a speedy wide player who was told he was the best technical player since Rooney and then let go because of his size. That to me sums up Moyes approach to football.

By the way I do agree with you about giving young players a go between now and the end of season.

I am not sure how clear that could ever be.

I couldn't care less what we now do until the end of the season, as long as we get shut of Moyes. I will go if the fans no longer want me, ring any bells? So then, why is he still here? The only thing he is honorable to is his paycheck.

At the end of this season , most of the squad needs getting rid off, how anyone can even think this squad is good is beyond my comprehension. from Mr Jelavic who can't hit a barn door 1 meter out, to sideways phil, who loves passing to the opposition, and many more in between. A major overhaul is desperately needed in the summer, and the best thing to do now, is let Moyes go, and bring in a new manager who can see what needs to be done and where etc.

We can't be relegated, and we have no nothing to loose and possibly a lot to gain my removing moyes now. We couldn't be beat Wigan at home, and we gave up as we always do at old trafford..there is nothing left to play for.

I for one don't want the europa, give it the neighbours and watch their season fall apart next year..the last thing I want is Moyes signing any kind of contract, not even for 12 months..he has to go now or at the very latest, the end of the season.

He cannot motivate the players in a massive game, so what makes you think he can against city? I'd suggest just parking the bus on the goal line with every player, but knowing heitinga, they'd still score.

I am still stuck in stage 2 but having flashes of David Hallwood's 6th stage - bewilderment. I am raving mad about what has happened to us since the start of the season - we were playing great football and I was full of hope.

Grrrrrr!
