The usual scrappy, battling game at Stoke, outmuscled all over the pitch but we hung in there. Still can't find our rhythm away from home.
Overall we were probably lucky to come away with a point.

Got a good run of games coming up that are winnable, still unbeaten so positives to take. Falcao got better and better as the game went on, expecting him to smash Yeovil to pieces since he was hauled off.

All the subs today have been strange to me, I thought Young should have moved left, Rafa - right, Januzaj behind Falcao and Herrera for Mata, but I guess Van Gaal had something else in mind.
Either way, lack of a proper bench has cost us once again and exhaustion playing a role.
Never mind that Evans, Jones and Smalling looked like they're playing with each other for the first time, we were unable to create anything in midfield despite all the possession. Need to get Fellaini, Di Maria and Herrera fit and playing.
Young out with an injury another blow
