Cant wait for tomorrow, Man Utd are missing some good players, Scholes, Ronaldo, Park, and Smith is 50/50. Considering our central midfield and the fact that they have some key players missing, I would expect Fergie to go safe and play 3 in the centre. Cant see them chucking in Evra or Vidic.
I would expect Man Utd to line up like this:
Van Dar Sar
Neville Ferdinand Brown Silvestre
Fletcher Smith O’Shea
Rooney Giggs
Van Nistelrooy
No need for us to make any drastic changes, we only have Zenden and Garcia missing.
I would like to see this team:
Reina
Finnan Carragher Hyypia Riise
Gerrard Sissoko Alonso Kewell
Crouch Cisse
I think Rafa may also play this side, he prefers to use Cisse away, he said that his pace is more useful on the counter when teams come on to us rather than at home when teams defend deep and we need to carve them open using more intricate play.
Hope it isn’t a bore draw, I think we will see a 2-1 either way. I worry about Giggs, the guy is back on form and is showing some class, but central midfield is still looking really weak for them. No doubt they will try and stop Xabi dictating the tempo, so he can expect to be closed down quickly and should brace himself for some harsh challenges, Sissoko will give it back though, so we shouldn’t be out fought. Gerrard will be key as usual, interesting to see how they pick him up when he drifts inside, will Smith be given that responsibility? I cant see our strikers doing too much to be honest, they haven’t the quality to take on defences alone, a lot of responsibility for our attacking play will be on Gerrard and Kewell, they will be the key for victory in my opinion.
i think yes what about you
