CL: Olympique Lyonnais vs Manchester United F.C

Only since i started visiting this forum, did my excitement for line-ups emerge.
No idea why i'm in anticipation of them.
 
Nice to see good old Gary Pallister on Match Day Live @ MUTV
 
Giggs a confirmed starter tonight, according to Richard Keys.
 
Did you know...Steven Gerrard, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo are this seasons Champion Leagues joint top scorers with 5 goals each.

Didn't have a clue at all

Wow, suprising, Tevez on bench and Anderson starting. It's gonna be the formation against Arsenal with Giggs and Ronnie on the flanks then.

Good team even if it is 4-5-1
 
Good lineup. Would have liked to see Carrick in there but good nevertheless. Come on United :devil:
 
Strong line up, strong bench, good to see. I think the midfield trio could work well.

Vidic and Scholes in the striking role? this could be a sensation to be hold strength and creativity:drool:
 
Anderson starts

That's what I expected, except I thought Fergie would go for Carrick ahead of Anderson.
 
One good thing is Anderson will be playing more the same role he did against arsenal
 
Harsh on Carrick, he's been brilliant. Hargreaves doesn't deserve a place, though I suppose that's not particularly important from Fergie's point of view.

What are the thoughts on formation? Will we see Giggs playing behind Rooney or will Anderson play there?
