yawn, do you even watch these players?

Diouf has been a great player for the reserves this season.

I'd love to see the CMs given a shout as much as anyone, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get behind Diouf.

Diouf can play striker or either wing, hence his place in the squad.

If you ever watch the reserves, and I doubt you do, you'd see that Diouff looks much better than both Pogba and Morrison as he's a grown man with experience. They'll get games when they're ready

Shafiul, if theres on thing i have learnt over the last 25 years is this, when it comes to SAF just sit back and enjoy the ride, he knows exactly what he is doing.

oh yes i can see diouf playing in the utd first team squad for years to come and he's looked really good when ever he's started

Question to you shafiul, would you seriously consider using the likes of Pogba/Morrison (inexperienced) going into a match like this? Wigan are not a pushover and this is crunch time in the league, Diouf has League experience, so again what would you do? Think it over.

well, the upside for glory hunters like yourself is that he may be in the shop window

Oh so because you don't like him it means he shouldn't get a chance? We're down to bare bones, he might have only been included because he's tall and may need to fill in at centre back

============================

Not every player is destined to be in the starting 11 or play for the team for "years to come" sometimes it's about focusing on the present, the match, the half, the last 5 mins.

I think it's worrying that he can't put them in even with so many out.

Surely if Fergie thought they were good enough they would be on bench during one of our worst I injury spells ever !!

Diouf is 24 and Gibson isn't getting any younger. That ship sailed last year along with the Obertan and Bebe boat.

I expect Morrisson and Pogba to go out on loan in January or get some 1st team football, but neither will want to spend another half season like the previous one.

Diouf is 24. What can be gained from having him on the bench, with Rooney and Welbeck getting on before him if we were ever in trouble? Pointless.

And Pogba has been the standout player in our reserves.

Petrucci has looked just as good as Pogba when he's played

It might have slipped your attention, but we gave yet more game time to Fryers.

More minutes for a reserve player = a good thing.

Stop yer whinging (we won 5-0 on a day City dropped 2 points, btw).

Diouf gets an awful lot of stick, from very few appearances in the first team. People are far to too quick to write people off
