You're right, they should. But, I think the point about confidence is key. It's also a very clear indication to LVG who has the balls to want to do something in a situation like this. Shinji got injured early.

Javier Hernandez *
Adnan Januzaj (s 20') *
James Wilson (s 57')
Andreas Pereira (s 46') *That's the team that played last night. I imagine, if the situation was replicated for Liverpool/ A N Other EPL team, the carpers on here would be trying to point out the team was "not full strength" etc etc.
However, there are enough starred players there to "do something". And not as Harry Redknapp (pbuh) famously said "just facking run around".
There was no Rooney nor van Persie nor Mata but it wasn't devoid of talent. de Gea was in it. To be frank, a ManU reserve side ought to be capable of beating a League 1 side and ought to be sufficiently motivated to do it. To lose is one thing - all big teams slip up against "minnows" occcasionally - but to lose 4-0 points to a bigger problem
