Come-onnn United !!!!!
According to our television... O'Shea problary won't play because of his injury...
I like this formation,it's all about containing them and unleashing Rooney and Tevez in the later stage of the game.A tactical battle as Mourino has his usual formation whereas SAF has surprised us with this
Can't see how a thrashing is possible. We're playing too well as a defensive unit to buckle and take a thrashing.
Us thrashing them is a little more possible but still pretty unlikely given the line-up we're puttting out.
Its going to be tight game.
I still find it hard to this day to decide who was MOTM in that match.
Can't get over how amazing we were.
Giggs'll get my vote though, just because I'm a Giggs fanboy.
Fairplay.
Fletcher, Carrick, and Giggs were all amazing. Smith and Rooney were excellent too. So was the defence. Thats the whole team.
Van der Sar, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Giggs, Park, Berbatov, Ronaldo.
Subs: Foster, Rooney, Nani, Scholes, Fabio Da Silva, Gibson, Tevez.

haven't hear any such thing, they are probably wrong
as in wrong formation and players
formation is as expected, although surprised rooney isn't in there somewhere.
BREAKING NEWS
lol
Don't you just find it reassuring to repeat that vital piece of information though? I'm still bricking it like, being Manchester United or not. But we are. We Are, We Are Manchester United
How is it more possible, they are at home and with their strongest line-up bar Samuel I think.
If we had Vidic I'd feel a lot more comfortable right now.
Hope so... They're muppets so hopefully they are wrong.
Weren't we all expecting this? except for Rooney offcourse. If it get's too tight, he will be vital for us to provide energy from the 60th minute onwards. All in all i am more than happy with that line-up and can see us atleast getting a draw out of this if not a win.
Inter are not as good as being said by some anyway.
Yes they are a good team, with good players just like everyone else in this stage of the tournament.
Don't think they are capable of giving a team like us a 'thrashing' though even with the problems at the back.
They lack the speed and fluidity to their game even at home. They are very strategic.
bench looks worrying if a defender can't last the game

I know just yanking on your milli chain mate.
We are United, and I know for a dead cert. fact Inter supporters are fearing us as we've lost a bit of sleep over them.
This place will explode regardless of the result, I just hope it's not a 0-0 result
And they have two inexperienced players in their back 4, so hopefully we can take advantage.
Anyone else who has Sky HD find it fecking unbelievable that we cannot watch this in HD because you need to have a Freesat box, WTF?
Not really. Fletcher or Giggs can drop back.
squeaky bum time
no rooney and no tevez
no rooney and no tevez

Ronaldo, Berbatov, Giggs, Carrick...
Look at our bench, if we have problems we have enough to change the game.
Get Rooney and Tevez on at half time, so they can run at the Inter defence like ferocious rottweilers that have just been uncaged from a life on confined misery.
THIS WILL BE A MASTERSTROKE BY FERGIE, MARK MY WORDS.

Like I said it's a surprise.
I have a feeling Park will do well in the attack. He's very intelligent on the ball, clever turns and short passing.
The one thing that we did very very well last season was defending from the front. Tevez and Rooney give you that in spades. I cant see Ronnie and Berba do the same. From a betting point of view Inter are now clear favourites IMO
In SAF i trust, and it wouldnt be the first time hes fooled the lot of us!
CMON UNITED

Our strength is to attack we have added a lot of defensive steel over the last two years but we still play better when attacking teams. I think we are going to miss Vidic badly tonight if we play cagy as he clears alot of ball out of the box with his heading ability. It would be much better to really go for it but it looks like we are trying to keep the tie alive and finish it as OT from the lineup. I had a feeling Rooney wouldn't play but I thought Tevez would be in. On the bright side Giggs is in wonderfuly form and in a free role could really show something tonight. Ferguson is normally proved right so I am not going to question the team selection too much.
Naturally, we're doomed
Theses 3 wise monkeys on RTE are cracking me up.
The loss of Vidic can't be helped and would impact us the same regardless of who plays up front.
This United team can attack and sit back equally well. It's the whole point of having this deep squad and range of players, so we can change our style to suit the occasion. As you said, if we can get them back to Old Trafford with a decent enough result tonight then we'll be in the box seat.
This game, more than any other this season, is giving me the screaming abdabs and we haven't even kicked off yet.
I suggest you to get a ITV stream somewhere
Not very likley that night we were at old trafford and had to go for it, with us being behind in the tie. I expect a match like the one vs Lyon last year tonight, very tight and hopefully we can nick something.
Completely agree, they've only impressed me twice all season and I've seen them quite a few times.
Unfortunately, those two games were both in big games.
They're not fluid, but they know how to be effective.
We know how to do both though, thankfully.
According to Dunphy, Mourinho has won the psychological battle already due to our team line-up.
I think it'll be more like Roma last year, which we were quite comfortable in really.
Ronaldo and Berbatov need to be deadly up front tonight. We will need goals for sure.
