Manchester United vs. Derby County

anyone else think wes will be left off today as a friendly warning from Fergie

Not a bad shout that.

Friendly warning to Wes aside, this Neville set-back is a real problem. Fergie might want to have a good look at all his options.

Starting Simpson today, and in Rome, would make a lot of sense.
 
I think he will start, I hope so anyway - he's a good defender. I hope his confidence hasn't been knocked after that mistake against Bolton and then being left out of the squad for the following game.
Who will rest do you think if Pique plays? Rio or Vidic?

I hope Nani and Carrick plays today. Giggs could need a rest ahead of liverpool next week.

Rooney Tevez
Nani Carrick Anderson Ronaldo

Yeah, I hope so too. The longer it is before he gets his next game, the more he'll stress about his mistake against Bolton.

The sooner he gets a chance to make up for it, the better.
 
why do i have this ridiculous nonsensical feeling devoid of all logic that we are going to feck it today?

it's completely spastic
 
FERGIE must tell the players that we need the goal difference issue to be in our favour, hope Saha starts and scores, he needs to score for his confidince.
 
Does anyone have a stream for this game??? Preferably on sopcast

Thanks

That's "Sunderland syndrome". I'm scarred for life by dropping points against that shower of shite, when they were last in the Premier League.
 
I predict 3-0 to United

Derby have learned from their mistakes against Arsenal and Liverpool.

They played quite good against Chelsea and only lost 2-0... so this game will be closer than most people think.

RM: Ronaldo

LM: Giggs

Subs: PIG, O'Shea, Carrick, Fletcher, Saha
 
Not bad, resisted the temptation not to tinker and play a few of the fringe players. Certainly won't see most of these against Roma maybe the team that will play against Liverpool.
 
Nani really should have at least made the bench. Carrick should have made the starting lineup. But ah well, strong lineup as usual.
 
Over-Cautious line-up.

There would have been no risk in going with Pique,Simpson,Carrick,Nani and Saha

Anyone know if Nani is dropped or just rested? I remember Ronaldo in his first season was getting a 2 week break.
Maybe Nani is just rested because he's played many games this season and also played in U21 europen championship in the summer.
