Barkley's loan is now week-to-week

Leave the lad where he is and let him develop.

Put this 18 year old attacking midfielder in the holding role for the derby!

Knowing Moyes he'll probably bottle it and play some clown with 15+ years premier league experience.

Moyes out!

We haven't so far, so maybe it's right that he stays where he is for now.

If Neville isn't in that spot, Heitinga is the only conceivable choice.

As to the attack, I'd like to see Naismith given his chance behind Jeli, with Kevin moved outside.

I was joking mate.

Phil Sammon, you made me laugh out loud. Jesus! Kevin O'Regan, how clearly does someone have to signpost a joke?

He is 18, a very good young player, but someone who is also making a lot of mistakes. He currently constantly gives the ball away. That can not happen in the Premier League. The quality is so high we will lose matches.

So let the boy play in the Championship, refine his game, get his fitness. When he is ready, bring him on as a sub. Until then I don't want him near the team.

Oh and anybody who starts wanting to put Gueye in the team, clearly has not watched him recently.

Pienaar is a massive blow for the Derby, I don't know what we can do. All options are lacking. Let's pray Gibson and Felli are back. I'd then go Jelavic, Osman on the left (I know, I know), Mirallas on the right, Felli infront of Gibson and Neville.

Back to Barkley. Get him games at Wednesday for the moment. If reports are to be believed then we're going to lose Felli in January and he might get an opportunity as our advanced midfielder. I am praying we don't lose the big man personally.

Re the Derby, I'm expecting to see Neville & Heitinga paired together with Osman in front of them &, if Hibbert's back then Coleman & Mirallas wide. No, seriously!

Barkley might be be back & proving a useful addition to the squad in the second half of the season - then we may well be glad of the playing time he's put in at Wednesday.

We need Gibson back for the derby, Fellaini would be nice to have back too, but I think he is still some way off. Gibson should be ready by now, he has been out longer then he should have been.

Pienaar is key when he is on form, but his last two games has not been up to standard I think. Gueye is not even an option, he is League one quality.

Anichebe has been poor recent games, but Vellios has been scoring for the U-21 side and should be in the team instead of Anichebe. By the way, I would rather play Kennedy then Gueye on the left, if it came to that. Jelavic should be paired up with Naismith, as Naismith looked fresh when coming on against QPR.

I think we should play with a 4-3-3 against Liverpool, as we need to dominate them to get anything from the game. Neville and Osman in the middle is going to destroy our hope of 3 points if they play again.

Moyes has an awful record against the shite and even if they are a weak team Moyes will respect them way too much just because of their history, Moyes is good to give praise to them, and build our hopes down.

To be honest, I can not see us winning that game with the way we have played for the last two games. We will get another draw if we are lucky, and Moyes will again be pleased with that, and say he wants CL while we are slowly but surely slipping down the table and before you know it we are in 9th-10th. The teams behind us are very close on points so if we do not win then we could go as far down as 8th-9th.

Gibson is key for us if we are to get back to winning ways, so I am crossing my fingers that he will be ready for Sunday.

Without better options it will be Neville and Osman again with I hope Mirallas and Oviedo (who must be better option than Gueye) on the wings and Naismith behind Jelavic – or at a push Jelavic behind Anichebe.

Just praying for a central 3 of Gibson, Osman and Fellaini.
