Manchester United vs. Newcastle United

Fancy us to give 'em a bit of a stuffing...

They are there for the taking and hopefully the players will be up for it.

Newcastle are missing some of their best players (Tiote, Cabaye, Ben Arfa) so they are big misses for Newcastle.

Very good start to the day, Leeds United being humiliated at Forest.

They have had a shocking start to the 2nd half. Forest scored 3 goals in 7 minutes in the 2nd half.
 
Something like Ferguson, Jonas, Perch, Anita and Marveaux in midfield for Toons and Ba as lone striker ?

Given how vulnerable we've been at the back I expect 2 up front from them. Will Ba and Ameobi I reckon.
 
Newcastle line-up:

Krul; Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini (c), Santon; Anita, Perch, Bigirimana; Cisse, Ba, Marveaux.
 
Weak midfield.
 
Manchester United line-up:

De Gea - Smalling, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra - Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs - Hernandez, van Persie.

Bench: Lindegaard, Vidic, Cleverley, Fletcher, Buttner, Wootton, Tunnicliffe.
 
Newcastle line-up:

Krul; Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini (c), Santon; Anita, Perch, Bigirimana; Cisse, Ba, Marveaux.

Those three are capable of causing us problems but we should be easing through this
 
Giggs probably played his way into the team but I still don't want to see him and Scholes start. Maybe today is an exception though seeing as Newcastle's midfield is even weaker.
 
Giggs and Scholes..... This is gunna be an interesting 50 minutes.

This is a good time to rotate players against a weak Newcastle team, rather do it now than against West Brom or Wigan.
 
Poor Danny Welbeck not getting a look in.

No point in moaning we knew he was gonna rotate and everyone would get a game. We have 2 more games after today in the next week.
 
Giggs at left wing, Evra will have to think twice about going forward, Giggs won't be able to track back all the time like Young. Still, Newcastle at home, they shouldn't really face much difficulty down the wing.
 
Scholes and Giggs- ok I am officially worried now
Okay, moaners gonna moan.

Giggs had a good cameo on Sunday, that gave him place in the starting line-up today. On the wing, not in the middle with Scholes, for feck's sake.

This proves some people are just going to moan forever when they see Scholes and Giggs in the same line-up. Wankers.

Its ok to rotate...but why Giggs and Scholes at once ? That guarantes no tempo on the ball
 
See this is when I'm going to whinge about Giggs and Scholes being used.

Starting a game and together. Madness.
