  I think he will start in most cup games,and he deserves to start anyway on form.It is a long season,and strikers take some physical hammer,we will need all four to play a part over the season.
  Marquis is a hand full for anyone,and holds the ball up front as well as Brown.If he carries on scoring, we may be glad that he signed another contract about xmas time, I would expect the bigger clubs to come sniffing round.

Ferguson said that in his after-match interview on Friday. Thinks Liam not quite on pace and missed training last week.

So he should start, bang in form, he has earned it. No such thing as a player best suited to being a sub.

It worked for Liverpool way back when with David Fairclough.
He never performed when starting but regularly did the business when coming on as a sub.

Martial done the same for United 2 weeks too...

I'd have been surprised if he didn't, would expect Dave to start in place of Copps as well.

Yes, Copps to be rested ahead of the Wimbledon game.

Alfie has earned his start, maybe a couple of others as well.

This could be a good fixture to introduce Khemis - also agree we rest Copps and start Rodney and Alfie. Defence should pick itself.
