Derby County vs Manchester United

I'm pretty sure we'll concede having Foster as our goalkeeper, so we need to score today, probably two or three.

so that's the tactics sorted then
 
13 Stephen Bywater (G)
2 Paul Connolly (D)
5 Jordan Stewart (D)
28 M. Albrechtsen (D)
24 Miles Addison (D)
7 Kris Commons (M)
23 Gary Teale (M)
8 Robbie Savage (M)
4 Paul Green (M)
25 Nacer Barazite (M)
11 Rob Hulse (ST)
 
I like the 4-6-0, no complaints here.

Didn't think Welbeck took a sizeable knock though :confused:

Why do you think we are playing 4-6-0? Ronaldo will be the striker, Giggs will be support striker or an attacking midfielder and Nani/Park on the wings. No other line up makes sense.

I would prefer Welbeck be upfront as well as these are the only games he is going to start at his age. I put his absence down to the SPurs injury as he started the other two Cup games.
 
Whilst we won't have a big presence like Berbatov up front, they won't be able to handle the pace and movement of those lot. Its basically Gibson and Fletch in the middle whilst 4 attacking wingers go sick. If Giggs is up for it things should go brilliantly. Would've liked to see Welbeck out there though.
 
4-6-0 could be interesting, Giggs, Ronaldo, Park and Nani will be constantly switching I would imagine. Looking forward to it.
The B17 class 61662 (2862 LNER) was named Manchester United.
It was a 4-6-0.

Okay I predicted Berbatov to score (well I always do that) but he isn't playing now, isn't even on the bench so I guess that's out the window. Ronaldo will most likely score :)
 
:nervous: not sure about the team selection.

No strikers, Fletch-Gibson in the middle.

This could get ugly.

Hope we can get the job done. Last thing we need is a replay.

Come on United!!!!
 
I reckon we've just played Derby twice and we know all about them and Fergie has chosen a team to play on their weaknesses and exploit our strengths. We'll see.
 
Not much of a suprise actually. Gibson is older than Possebon plus he is an International player. He should be quite clearly good enough to start at times. Its up to him to repay the faith shown in him.

Not sure that point holds much weight considering Gibson doesn't even start for an Irish team with a central midfield as effective as a square wheel. Slightly tougher task to get into the Brazilian team!

Gibson hasn't been fantastic in the games he's played so far, but given some time I think he could come good.
 
Anyone know if ITV is showing this online? I really like their quality....

I think the main thing with him is for SAF or Phelan to remind him that every time get gets possession doesn't have to end with him trying to score a long range screamer.

I think its better to play Gibson. We need a bit of steel in mid vs a championship team and think Gibson can hold its own. Possebon to me does not rreally look like the strongest lad.
 
Fergie says Berbatov, Tevez, Carrick and Van Der Sar rested for Fulham.

Here we go then. We expect a much better away performance this time. Cmon United! :devil:

I can understand VDS given his age and he is used to being given a rest for these matches, Carrick given he played for England midweek. I can also see from his point of view about both Berba and Tevez, with Rooney not 100% fit he can't really take a chance on either one of them getting injured and then having to rush Rooney back before he's ready. If needs be, I'm sure Tevez will feature in the last part of the match. We have the squad to cope, there can be no excuses IMO.
 
Stupid team selection, not that it should matter so long as we turn up.

ITV have managed to get 3 seperate sets of adverts in during a 30 minute build up, and that's not including the adverts before the programme started...wonder how much of the game we'll get to see this time
 
Just go to ITV.com and on their maain page there is a legal link for the stream.

Just click on it and it will lead you to the page for stream. Good luck to all!

Come one United!!!

It's how they fund buying the rights to this game!
