Nice graphic Keano. This is the monster of ALL games. Love playing the
Scousers. It will be tight but we should win it. We certainly wont lose against
them anyway. We are far too strong and have been dominating these games for
years. Also, we should have all our players back fit (bar Ronaldo)
Hargo, Park, Nani, Giggs, Roo, Tev, Saha, Berba? to choose from as well.
Carrick may even be fit. I love these games and I cannot wait!
IMO Anderson and Hargreaves have to play. Anderson is our best big game player while Hargreaves has been brilliant everytime he's faced top opposition (Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal ect)
Carrick won't be 100% fit and even if he was I wouldn't play him in this match, we have a mixture of of possession, aggression and pace in that midfield. I would use this vs Chelsea aswell tbh.
If we have to we can always move Hargreaves/Anderson on the wing and Tevez to come more centrally to make a 4-4-2 aswell.
If we happen to get Berbatov then put him upfront with Rooney in Nani's position.
I know Rooney/Tevez aren't the best on the wings but Anfield is quite tight so it shouldnt matter that much.
WE MUST BEAT THEM.
PLEASE ! Oh god i can't bare the thought.
I thought a few week's back a 0-0 draw. But looking at them tonight against Standard and against Boro they really aren't any better than last season. So i think we will win 1-0 AGAIN
Everyone fit ? Bar Ronaldo then I think we should go with ...
i think the GOOD thing about united at the moment is after andersons showing vs pompy and the fact we have 3 of the best CM in the world you get a good problem, who to take out, it seems anderson is coming to form and you clearly cant drop scholes not carrick but then theres hargo also its great.
but untill ronaldo is back i say we play hargo on the right and perhaps the 3 in the CM if not use anderson as a super sub
The true encouragement to take to this match is the way Liverpool are playing at the moment against Standard Liege, i say this because with United comes width and if we play with width we will create chances and eventually take one, and the way we have been deffending we are more than capable of keeping a clean sheet so the odd goal form Rooney or Tevez is all we would need in my opinion, however we may have signed a clincal finisher by then which will make us even more of an obstacle for the scousers, they look dyer against Liege and i wish the game was being played tomorrow, the signing of Robbie Keane seems to have congested them and they look so easy to mark.
I think we will beat the 1-0 / 2-0 and i fancy Tevez to have another great game, im also tiping Hargreaves to return and play a big part along with Anderson.
Well judging by there performance today we should win this one.
Squad to play if all still fit after super cup and internationals:
- - - - - - - - - VDS - - - - - - - - -
Brown - Ferdinand - Vidic - Evra
Tevez - Hargreaves - Ando - Nani
- - - - - Rooney - - - Berbatov
well gerrard 'could' with a groin operation but some how i doubt he'll be out its more liverpool playing mind games but we can all hope.
with or without gerrard we can cope id be even happyer if we had berbatov by then that would make it even better.
Cant wait to see Nani play.......... 2-0 Berbatov and Nani!!!
How much would ye give me if thats the correct scoreline and scorers? Because it is a long shot
If Liverpool keep playing as poorly as they have done recently, it's only a matter of time before they get punished.
You get the feeling with United as well that we're due to start banging in the goals again soon and it would be
perfect if the two events coincided and we thumped them again.
They are due a result against us though because we've beaten them the last five times we've played them.
I just hope we can take at least a draw from this because with another difficult away game to Chelsea straight
after, we could be in danger of falling behind in the title race too early.
^^^^They said he might be back for the game, but even if he is, he wont be
properly ready or match fit. great news for us cos they have no one else apart
from Torres who is usually in Rio's pocket everytime we play them.
Anderson will be annoyed! .....After seeing how they played Standard Leige
yesterday, I simply can't see how they'll trouble us. We could win this very
comprehensivly provided we do our job right!
Its still the lucky Scousers in Anfield so dont count your chickens.
They certainly cant be underestimated and we know they are lucky bastads
Id take a scruffy 1-0 right now.....I still think we will win but it wont be easy.
as much confidence as i have in united, whenever i pose in these match day thread...more often than not, im nervous lol...yet you all always seem to be so optimistic!! lol
I hope we win!! I dont care who scores, what score etc! just win united!!
This is a MUST WIN!!!
I can't stand the Scousers and if they beat us it will be so humiliating!
I think we can get the 3 points and if worst comes to worst 1 point will do.
My team would be:
-------------------VDS---------------------
--Wes------Rio-----------Vidic----------Evra--
---Hargo----Scholes-----Carrick----Nani---
-------Berbatov----------Rooney--------
Bench:
Kuszack
G. Neville
O'Shea
Giggs
Fletcher
Anderson
Tevez
Tevez comes on for either striker depending on performance.
Anderson comes on for Scholesy.
Giggs on for Nani.
All subs 2nd half after like 60th min mark.
If Berba is not ours by tomorrow then Tevez would take his place in the starting line up and the bench would be filled up by someone else.
Torres went off with a hamstring injury so hopefully him AND Gerrard will be out.
Even if one or both of them makes the game, they will have missed out on training
etc...so wont be as fit as they could be. Their only 2 good players as well haha
Fernando, what part about score a hat trick and lose 4-3 don't you understand?!!? What part of that says "get injured, thus crippling my fantasy team"?
:: punches Torres in head ::
Anyway, kind of glad he's hurt too, since Robbie Keane looks worse than I do in the forward department, plus Gerrard's gone so nobody will be able to set the table for him. So, if they're banking on "Dirk Kuyt to the Rescue!" again, I'm about as giddy as a young lad on Christmas morning.
