Isn't either Manucho or Welbeck not on United's squad list for the European group stages

Anyone fit of this lads? -> Ronaldo, Berbatov, Scholes, Hargreaves, Fletcher, Neville, Brown, Fabio
I would give Rio and VDS a break for this one and go for this team.......
--------------------- Kuszczak --------------------
Rafael ------- Vidic -------------- Evans ------ Evra
Park -------- Carrick ----------- Anderson ----- Nani

Bench: Foster, O´Shea, Possebon, Gibson, Giggs, Welbeck, Manucho

Yes please
We won't beat them with our injury problems. I'd be happy with a point.
We may need to take a few risks with the first team to ensure that we give some players a rest before we play City at the weekend.

Rafael ----- Vidic --------- Evans ------ Evra

Pray that Fletcher is fit! Its pretty tempting to give Wellbeck a chance and give Rooney a rest, but both Rooney and Tevez need to play through this bad form.

According to betfair, Fletcher and Ronaldo were back in training yesterday, and I agree with their assessment that Ronaldo's likely to be left out.

And I'd put Wellbeck before Manucho as when Rooney and Tevez play together the goals usually come from elsewhere and to me Wellbeck's more likely to be the elsewhere.
Give Ronaldo, Rio and van der Sar a rest.
Take Rooney and Carrick off after 60 mins, whatever the score.
Start with:
Foster
Rafael - Evans - Vidic - Evra
Nani - Carrick - Anderson - Giggs
Rooney - Tevez

Btw are there some caftards travelling to Villarreal ?
no need to win
a full strength squad would be retarded, rest for subjecting city to a bumming on sunday

Anyone else have a don't give a feck about this match feeling?
Me. We've not been up to our usual standards and I'd rather not be disappointed.
Nothing wrong with being a bit cynical once in awhile. If I watch the match I'd have to sleep at 5.30am and get ready for a day of work and school by 8am.

In they're last 10 games they have conceded 22

Where r u from?
Looks like Rafael will start. That's enough for me to look forward to.
I was surprised Welbeck's not in the squad, preferring Manucho.
I foresee a bore-draw, probably goal-less

If i remember right, we were in a similar situation in the CL some years back [a draw would do for both sides], against Valencia i believe or maybe it was Deportivo, and we played out a reasonably tame 0-0.
Be no surprise if we ended up with such an outcome tomorrow.

I was gonna say this match will be up there with the (soon-to-be) dead rubber game against Aalborg in terms of importance, but then I'll realize we'll get a chance to see Rossi vs Rafael (sort of), so that will be very exciting.
Welbeck has a knock doesn't he? Or is he just not going. The black pele needs some pitch time in all fairness to him.
Rossi's going to shine in this match. I can just feel it.
He will be on the highlight reel alright... being nutmegged the most times in a match by a single player (Rafael).
Singapore.
i fecking love the champions league.
my team:
Kuszsack
O'Shea
Ferdinand
Vidic
Evra
Anderson
Carrick
Fletcher
Giggs
Tevez
Rooney
unless fletcher is back
prediction- 2-1 Ferdinand and Tevez

Aye, that works for me. Maybe stick Ronaldo up front though, instead of Tevez.
Don;t you mean "providing" Fletcher is back, rather than "unless"?

My team, not what I think we'll play.
Foster
Rafael
Evra
Ferdinand
Vidic
Fletcher
Carrick
Anderson
Nani
Rooney
Ronaldo
I'm tempted to maybe drop Anderson to the bench and put Tevez up front. But he was really poor against Villa and having that extra man in midfield should help us.
Hoping for a good game, and a bloody goal would be nice!

on the match:
Tomasz Kuszczak will play instead of the rested Edwin van der Sar in goal but, even with Dimitar Berbatov, Paul Scholes, Owen Hargreaves, Wes Brown and Gary Neville injured, the United manager says he is not tempted to ring wholesale changes. "The derby doesn't come into my thinking," he said. "We want to win and to win the group."

Anyone else starting to feel the nerves? I know we will go through no matter what, but would be nice to go through top and I think who ever wins this match will finish top of the group...
Yes
I have a horrible feeling we are going to lose but who cares as we have Aalborg at home - to be honest I would rather not risk players like Ronaldo if they are not 100% fit and make sure they are ready for the derby on Sunday
Not at all.
Yep, and they need to beat us with at least 3-0 at Old Trafford to go through and not us. We will finish ahead of Celtic no matter what thanks to 4-1 in points against them.
So tbh, we are already through to the second round.
Kuszczak
Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra
Possebon, Carrick, Anderson,
Ronaldo, Tevez, Rooney
Subs: Foster, O'Shea, Evans, Fletcher, Park, Gibson, Manucho, Giggs
Rooney to get back on track just in time for Sunday. 3-1 Utd Rooney hatrick.

Please let that be true. A draw here would be good but i reckon we'll come out all guns blazing after the Villa draw. We really need to gain some momentum before the City game which is a MUST WIN.
