Strange kick off
Line-ups should be out soon.
security reasons
How many hours to go?
60 minutes
very small chance if any, can't really see that affecting the kick-off.
Huge boost for us today with Ronaldo back and maybe Rooney too. I'm expecting to see a performance like how we played last season.
The last few games with Nani and Eagles on the wings, they've drifted inside far too much when what we need is width to stretch the opposition's defence making it hard for them to 'park the bus'. Ronaldo and Giggs should give us more width today.
Another boost for us today is that we have two strikers starting, Saha and Tevez (presumably). Everyone saw it last week that when Saha came on, we immediately looked much more dangerous going forward. I've got a bet on Tevez bagging a goal today too (so he probably won't now).

Looks like we're going to have the same problem again. Why the hell is Saha not starting?
We won't win this without Saha playing.
WTF? Giggs upfront again, Silvestre starts too.
Oh ffs, why isn't Saha starting?
Why is there no Saha??
Whats the bench?
Whats the bench?
Why the hell are we playing people out of position when we've got enough players to play in their proper positions
On the brighter side of things, Ronaldo is back. But that doesnt hide the fact that we have 3 players out of position.
Fergie must be resting Rooney, and starting without Saha as he he has an eye on the CL game and Chelsea next week. It's going to cost us 2 or 3 points.
Saha might not be match fit, but he's not going to get match fit by sitting on the fecking bench every week.
Without Rooney, we need him in the team, short of games or otherwise. How fecking obvious does this need to become before it's realised?
Also, a Full Back playing on the wing, and a winger playing up front, despite their being a fully fit winger and a striker on the bench. Why?

@ fergie and@ giggs playing up front and@ evra playing on the wing instead of nani and@ saha on the benchSaha has been training for weeks, he must be fit enough to start.
I would like to know why Fergie has picked this team.

Rooney was never going to play in this game. He's recovering from a broken bone. Surprising about Saha. We'll struggle to break them down, bring Saha on half time and somehow win, hopefully.
mark my words :
" we won't win today "
i hope i'm wrong
" we won't win today "
i hope i'm wrong
Bench: Kuszczak, Pique, Gibson, Nani, Saha
Baffling team selection.
And good to see Gibson on the bench too.
But Is anderson injured?

Why can't Saha start the match since he is on the bench, Fergie pissing us off.
Thats a pretty gay line-up. Still should be able to beat Everton though.
Half time sub= Silvestre for Saha. What odds?
Anderson's not injured I don't think but I saw him for the reserves last week and he was painfully unfit.
Right fecktards I am at work so will be relying on this thread to keep track of the match. So you better not mess this thread up, anyone who does gets canned, no questions asked.
Thats a lie, I cant actually can you, but I just always wanted to say that. Seriously though, lets keep it clean people. I knwo no one wants to give jase an excuse to press any buttons

ATM I'm a little pissed off, but I trust in fergie. (but why the heck playing giggs up front and evra on left wing?)
And why not even putting anderson on the bench, but gibson? I dont get it?

We said that about City, Portsmouth and Reading.
Everton are better than all of them.
Shouldn't underestimate teams.
