For me I'd go

------------ Guzan -----------
Lowton. Dunne/Baker. Vlaar, Stephens
N'Zogbia, Westwood. Delph, Bennett
-------- Benteke --- Bent --------

Wiemann could come in for Bent or Benteke. Given could play either.

I also wouldn't mind seeing Carruthers getting some time on the pitch but don't know if I'd start him

He wasn't at fault for the goal last night, the ball went over his head, it was all Vlaar loosing his man.

Although he's still poor at defending corners as was seen at the weekend

I wouldn't be suprised to see someone come in for Wiemann too. I'd like to see him stay but he's been playing well and might be tempted to say in the PL.

Think Vlaar would be gone too

He's just back from 7 months off and 3 operations. He probably won't be fit enough to play for a month.

Fair point about Guzan

Guzan

Lowton dunne vlaar Baker

Ireland Westwood Delph

Zog Bent Gabby

Better?

Baker has never impressed at left back and has at times been as bad as Stephens \ Bennett there

Not going to score. Benteke should have burried that

Unlucky for Bowery

Off the bar

Nobody going to the front post. Bentekes movement in the box has been poor today

Unlucky there. Great strike from Stephens

Comentator on my stream is so annoying. He keeps saying he's not sure if it was a peno and there may have been contact. He must be blind because that is the only way to think there was contact

Lambert not tocuched and falls down, they get a peno. Benteke pulled back but stays up and the ref gives nothing

The one criticism i have of Guzan is that his distribution can be awful. His kicks can sometimes be poor and a couple of times in the last few games he has tried a quick throw to someone who is being marked which caused us to lose possession and come under pressure again.

Other than that he is a good shot stopper, confident in the air and seems to organise the defence well. As much as I used to rate Given, he only has the shot stopping and at the start of the season and during the Euros he didn't even have that.

The Agger peno was one that could easily go either way. If it was given I wouldn't have complained as Clark had a good hold of him but agger did have a hold of Clark too. If it was the other way around I would be a little annoyed that it wasn't given but wouldn't be overly upset about it

What I liked about his last goal was the strength and desire to score. If that was someone like Surez or Young they would have fallen over at the first hint of a challenge but Benteke powers his way through stays on his feet and gets a great goal.

Interesting that it's Weimann and not Gabby.

Give Gabby a rest plus Wiemann is probably a bit more similar to Bent in and around the box than Gabby

That was horrible from Benteke. Players have been sent off for much less.

It was obviously an accident. He was looking at the ball and barely jumped, it was just made worse because he's so much taller

How did that go in?

FFS. That one was harsh too. More ball to hand than anything

Probably a good decision to take Wiemann off. Otherwise he would have talked himself into a yellow

The linesman must have thought Wiemanns hand hit the ball

What the ****???

Good cross from Stephens

I wouldn't necessarly blame Clark for the first United goal. We tried to step up and play offside but Stephens was a step behind. I thought Clark got back well and except for the fact that Hernandez miscontrolled the ball Clark would have got a challenge in. Hernandez miscontrolling meant Clark couldn't tackle and gave him the chance to shoot.

Is that a broken leg?
