Aston Villa VS Manchester United

Hargreaves is out cause he isnt ready according to fergie

he is on a training programme of 3 days on and 3 days of rest

Hell knows wtf is that :lol:
 
-----------------VDS-------------
Brown----Rio-------Vidic------------Evra
Ronaldo----Fletcher----Scholes----Nani
----------Rooney-------Tevez-----

Subs: Pig, Pique, O'Shea, Anderson, Giggs
 
While Hargreaves and Carrick fighting with injuries, it's a big chance for Fletcher to shine.
 
Little worried over the lack of confirmation over whether VDS, Wes and Vida are fit :nervous:

Anyways the team I think we should play is.....

GK: VDS

RB: Brown
CB: Ferdinand
CB: Vidic
LB: Evra

RM: Ronaldo
CM: O'Shea
CM: Scholes
LM: Giggs

CF: Tevez
CF: Rooney

Subs: PIG, Simpson, Pique, Anderson, Nani

I'm going with 0-1 to us, Ronaldo getting the only goal :devil:
 
-------------------VDS--------------

Brown-------Rio--------Vidic------Evra

Ronaldo-----Scholes---Anderson---Giggs

-----------Roon-------Tevez-----------

Very good, I'd go with the same. Scholes with defensive duties.
 
Just got promoted guys and here's my first post. :)

I think its a very tricky fixture, last year we got the breakthrough thanks to a bit of individual brilliance by Ronaldo. And I think we will need something like that tomorrow. Our players had good games with their International teams, Rooney and Ronaldo scored great goalz, Tevez was lively, Nani was in game changing form in the 35 minutes he's got against Kazakhstan, and I hope they continue their good form for us, and we can build on that Wigan rout.

Our central midfield is the main thing, I think Sir Alex should, and would, go for Scholesy and O'shea, as we have to have significant cover to our back four, like everyone else on here I'd like to see Anderson come on as a sub later on to get another look at him.

Nani instead of Giggs. I need we should go for Nani, because of the unpredictability he offers. He will be keen to impress and will track back and defend, and going forward he can beat players, his shooting is good, his crosses are erratic but still he can produce some good ones, but its the way he tries unpredictable moves, to take on a player or to pass it is what gives him the edge over Giggsy for me. Giggs to come one depending on how's the game going, and how Nani's doing.


-------------VDS
Brown --- Rio --- Vidic --- Evra
Ronaldo - Oshea - Scholes - Nani
--------Rooney - Tevez


Ronaldo scored five times against Villa in the past, and I have a feeling he will give a big performance for us tomorrow.
 
This game could get scrappy, we just need to scrape out a win. With Rooney and Ronaldo on form I predict they'll both be heavily involved in any goals we score.
Also I think it's very unlikely Ferguson will play Scholes and Anderson, because they provide no protection for the defence, and Anderson is too inexperienced for a game like this, especially in a game where Villa are going to press and push us in midfield.

O'Shea and Scholes in midfield.

Giggs/Nani on the left

2-1 to us
 
Great to have real football back.Going to be hard after coming back from international duty but we just might squeeze a win.

We should take the risk and play Scholes and Anderson in the middle, with Giggs helping out in the middle as he normaly does, anyway. If Brown's not fit, I wouldnt mind Pique at all at RB.

Hopefully Fergie is brave enough to play Scholes and Anderson again. I'm not sure whether Fletch is fit enough yet and I dont like to see O'Shea in our midfield
 
If anderson does not start I hope fletcher gets the nod over oshea. We need to win today. Or arsenal could open up a frightening lead early on. Anyway we will no their result before we play.
 
Anything other than a Scholes - O'Shea midfield would absolutely amaze me. In fact, I'll think we'll see the 4-5-1:

...................VDS or Kuszczak

brown......Ferdinand.......Vidic.......Evra

Ronaldo..Scholes..Sheasy...Giggs..Tevez

.................Rooney
 
We should start with PIG. He's done a great job so far, and has earnt his place in the team.

I'd go for this line up:

-------------------PIG-------------------

Simpson------Rio---------Vidic--------Evra

Ronaldo------Scholes-----O'Shea------Giggs

---------------------Tevez----------------

---------------------Rooney--------------

I agree. I mean, since he's had to take over he's kept goal against a lively (and somewhat wasteful) Roma attack, and kept behind a cobbled together back four (admittedly against Wigan, but still the point stands). In that time he hasn't conceded one goal.

In a just world PIG will start, with VDS on the bench, because PIG hasn't done anything to deserve losing a spot in the starting line up.

Exactly my thoughts. Playing Oshea in the middle isnt very wise. Anderson can tackles as well and he brings much more to our attack.

But I doubt fergie will let him start. He will play oshea in the middle, I think.
Maybe anderson will come on for some minutes.
For me on the other hand anderson is the only real opportunity today.

please not.
I would put oshea on right back if brown's not fit and let anderson play in the middle.
 
I actually think Anderson will start ahead of O'Shea, who doesn't seem matchfit at all.
 
Can somebody please PM me a RELIABLE stream for this game, I missed the Wigan one because I couldn't get the shit started :(

I just hope the team has not lost their momentum over the international break. We need to get back firing on all cylinders again. Hopefully our rivals will drop points here.

Our momentum has been more staying power up to this point i would say, and we haven't fired on all cylinders or near to it once this season.

Though yes, with fixutres and injuries, our rivals may drop points this weekend or in the coming weeks, let's hope we are ready to seize the opportunity if and when it arises.

very tough match....

but we are tight at the back....

improving too...

still Villa are no pushovers...

we will win 1-0 or 2-1.....may even be a draw... :nervous:

Agree pretty much, though our defence has not been consistently tested yet, and when it has been, has looked not as tight as the stats suggest. Been fortunate at times.

O'Shea or Fletch to start alongside Scholes i hope, whoever is the more match fit. Better if Anderson be on the bench.
 
www.myp2p.eu. That's not a direct link to a stream, so i think i'm alright in recommending that. You'll need sopcast though really.
 
Cristiano is making his 200th appearance today - cert to score :devil:
