Having watched Norwich’s full-backs this season, I think Moyes will have missed a trick if he does not start Masuaku at LB today. They are there to be exploited in behind.
Should've brought Lanzini back in. He didn't do badly and at least there's a chance of him offering something. Hope Noble steps up after the rest but it feels like we're breaking momentum.
If they score first we will lose . If we score first we might get a draw as we will probably concede two goals. I feel our best hope is to try to score two quick goals to knock the stuffing out of Norwich. We cannot just try and hang on for a draw which is our usual way. Must play a quick midfield with Haller up front . No team can keep playing without a recognised striker and hope to win many games.
I have Ginge Collins and Tim Sherwood in studio pre match....both agree with MAJORITY of comments above " a very negative selection by Moyes " over to him and the team to do it...
I must say that I'm not a fan of starting a player you know can't last the full 90, but with the new extra subs rule, I think it can be worth considering. You don't have quite so many eggs in one basket.

Fabianski
Fredericks - Diop - Ogbonna - Cresswell
Soucek - Rice - Noble
Bowen - Antonio - Fornals
I find that a very negative team. Maybe it’s a diamond with Bowen & Antonio up front.
I think he’s playing for a 0-1 here.
Against Spurs Noble played ahead of Rice and Soucek, at times he was further forward than Antonio.
Subs are Randolph, Johnson, Balbuena, Masuaku, Wilshere, Lanzini, Yarmolenko, Ajeti, Haller
And as I thought, Haller not fully fit.
And Lanzini, still rubbish. ;-)
