Macheda + Rooney upfront, anyone?

 

[MsUnited]

I don't think a high pressure FA Cup semi final is the best time to give him his 1st start. In fact, I don't think he will start a match this season. Should make a good fair few sub appearances thought.

I think it will depends on the training, although i say that the Tevez - Rooney partnership will be that which is used on Saturday, Macheda proved he is not afraid of killing the game off under pressure, we depended on his late sub appearances these last 2 matches, when we were drawing with the opponents - the pressure which holds that speaks for itself.

 

[MsUnited]

Maybe we should rest Rio. we need him for Arse game in two weeks. If I am informed well he played tonight and was under some injections because of his back problems.

I`d say he needs matches to get over his lay off.

 

[MsUnited]

It depends on how was serious injurie. If he feels better I would let him play but if he doesn`t feels ok I would rather rest him for preimership or FA matches and let him play in CL.

He`s a top lad, he`ll make it for Saturday :thumbsup:

 

[MsUnited]

Who are United playing Saturday?

- Foster -
- Rafael - Ferdinand - Vidic - Evra
- Ronaldo - Scholes - Anderson - Nani-
- Rooney* - Tevez -​

* if not available, i'll opt for Macheda. To be honest, ahead of this clash i would prefer Macheda to start, and it looks like there are doubts about Rooney's availability, personally i don't want to see Berbatov-Tevez partnership, would want the boy to start and show us glimpses of his talent.

 

[MsUnited]

I think at this stage you guys need to limit Macheda to appearances off the bench. At the moment it's all about putting as little pressure on him as possible and building and maintaining confidence. If he starts and has an average game (which, with Jagielka marking him could easily happen), it might take his development back a few steps.

Sure, if he does well then it will be an amazing boost for him, but I think it's too big a risk. He hasn't started a game yet and an FA Cup Semi Final is hardly the place to do it.

I believe that working on his confidence did not start 2 weeks ago after his debut goal - To step up another level and have some minutes under his belt was already a massive boost for the lad, and Fergie was not going to take that risk if he wasn't sure of his state, both physically and mentally. Its all up to Fergie himself now, i am not saying that he should put him with the first 11 if he sees he's not ready yet, but if he shows great signs, then i say yes, why not. Ferguson has already showed faith in the lad, it goes back before that Aston Villa match. And so, he knows him more than enough.

 

[MsUnited]

I like how he combined experience with young talent, its a risky line up, it is, but i'm confident - individually we have field out a very good team, now we'll have to watch out how they'll do together.

 

[MsUnited]

End of Nani? Not yet.
He'll have a great part to make on Wednesday, he's saving him for it.

 

[MsUnited]

Awesome side!!

Is it worth a fiver on Kiko to score anytime? returns of 25 quid??

Kiko proved he's worth the faith, so go on

 

[MsUnited]

What do we when we go a goal down???Cos weve got no ron or rooney,just hope berbatovs on top of his game if he comes on

Why should we hope on Berbatov when we have Macheda and Welbeck starting? Oh and Carlitos too. Come on man, show some faith.

 

[MsUnited]

so guys..what's the official line-up?..the one with the twins in the first 11?

This one mate;
Foster, Rafael Da Silva, Ferdinand, Vidic, Fabio Da Silva, Welbeck, Gibson, Anderson, Park, Tevez, Macheda.
Subs: Kuszczak, Neville, Evra, Berbatov, Nani, Scholes, Evans.

 

[MsUnited]

Surprise, Louis has recovered from his stomach virus.

 

[MsUnited]

Need to get more forward, we're being defensive and keeping the ball in the middle too much.

 

[MsUnited]

We're trying now, much better.

 

[MsUnited]

Scholes in, Ji out. More experience injected.

 

[MsUnited]

He's not the best man to get rewarded a penalty from, but it surely was. The contact was there.

 

[MsUnited]

Ferguson still furious .. and rightly so.
Nice stuff from Anderson, we need to do more of these half chances we are getting. We need to materialize.
