rafa has to understand a full strength team is needed, if he rests 1 or 2 start players and we drop points it will be a massive mistake

we should play our strongest team and try get a 2 goal lead with 30minutes to go then the likes of babel lucas and benyoun can come on

Yeah i think we should play our best 11 and see what happens on wednesday against chelski. Maybe a mixture!

It's relieving to consider what the United supporters have got to worry about for their upcoming fixture haha.

reckon we can be hopeful this weekend, we have our best 11 fit and healthy after the international break (besides Mascha) and Man U are missing their best defender, Rooney and possibly Tevez, as well as Scholes . Villa could well do us a favour

Just to be sure I'm putting my bet on that they win and we lose, I'm always wrong :;):

They will only be sweating over it if we beat Fulham. This is a great chance now I really hope we beat them.

I can't see Masch being able to play, which is a shame, but Lucas did OK last time out.

Reina

Arbeloa Carra Skrtl Aurelio

Kuyt Alonso Lucas Reira

Gerrard

Torres

Would be my guess for what rafa will play. I hope so anyway.

Have the game won within the hour and bring on Benny, Babel, Ngog etc then.

Trouble is, this being our best (fit) eleven, how likely is rafa to send the same 11 out twice within 4 days?

I fear rotation for one of the two games...I hope it is the Champions League one.

I'd play this side against Chelsea....

Reina

Arbeloa Carra Agger Insua

Benny Alonso Gerrard Babel

Kuyt Torres

i reckon Rafa is a changed man this half of the season. he's been handed another oppertunity for the title and he knows how important it is to fans/club. As for the champ.league - well, been there seen it done it. I reckon he might just give priority to the league from now on in.

also, we've got enough of a squad to beat chelsea anyway, whoever we field. they're nothing short of sh!te. :;):

I really hope we win this, would be so great. If we loose it I will be in a seriously p1ssed off mood though, especially if Rafa has tinkered.

by **Rockthekop** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 2:24 pm

Masherano is suspended from the Chelsea game next week so Rafa will probably play him tomorrow and stick Lucas on then.

Hope we can bring in decent cover for Mash and Alonso in the summer, Barry would do nicely at a reasonable sum.

Lucas should be loaned out (or sold if funds are tight), don't think he's offers enough to the team.

I think we have to go out with the strongest XI to score 2 goals in the first half then bring the subs on.

Every game is too important to chance it, every time we get 3 pts it puts Ure under pressure, its the only way they´re gonna throw it away.

The games live on ESPN Brazil by the way !! :buttrock

After the last World Cup Qualifiers in October - Mascherano played for Argentina on Oct 15th,
then didn't even make the subs bench 3 days later when we were at home to Wigan.

Not saying Rafa will do the same like, but that's what happened last time.

Oh No!

The curse that is "Manager of the Month"! and Gerrard gets Player of the Month!

I wander if Owzat has stats to prove/disprove the notion that it brings bad luck.

beat me to it mate

by **Greavesie** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 7:32 pm

absolutely no p!ssing about tomorrow, go out and attack them from the off, don't give them a chance to friggin breathe never mind have the fecking ball, go out and go for the early goal and choke them silly! :angry:

I honestly reckon the Mancs are going to slip again on Sunday, Vidic out and possibly Rio. Berba and Rooney out and Tevez who won't be fully fit is their only striker. Scholes out as well.

Come on Rafa's Reds! 3 points tomorrow, top of the league by half 7! :buttrock
