Sunderland vs Manchester United

Don't be fooled by a run of poor form. When on top of his game, Carrick is fantastic at controlling the middle of the pitch.

Hmmm, good logic, except he's been in awful form this month and the majority of last. Scholes and Carrick can't control a midfield at the momment. Thats the only concern I have with the team selection. Espically if Sunderland get physical.
 
ando on the bench :drool:

so fergie prefers an unbalanced side to playing nani ..
why

Because Nani has been shit this season. Besides, Rooney on the left is hardly something he isnt used to is it?
 
Ronaldo dropped, finally. He will probably make a bigger impact coming off the bench.

Expecting big performances from Rooney and Tevez tonight.
 
Should be. Neville is a liability.


have to say although i love the lad for his contributions over half his life to the club but he is a step slow and all of a sudden not playing to his near 6ft frame.

maybe he will have a captains performance today ala keane vs juventus
 
feck sake there's some real doomongery in this thread, don't know whether it's to try and make yourselves look good if we drop points or what.

That team is more than enough, If we can't beat Sunderland with that then we don't deserve to be top tonight.

What else do you propose? Evra has played non-stop recently so it's really no surprise he's on the bench. Rio isn't fit enough, but thank god Evans is fit to partner Vidic. If O'Shea goes LB for Evra, who else do we have for RB other than Neville at the moment, seeing as both Brown and Rafael are still out.

I've been waiting for this as well. But I think this has more to do with rest before the midweek match than anything else.

Fletcher. Or Eckersley.
 
one wonders if blackburn want liverpool to win the title

I recall the game they played us and they were fighting for every ball, making it really really difficult for us. Today they have just bent over and taken it. I wonder if Sunderland will play like that against us...

of course your right mufcgal and tbh were lucky to have someone that type of experience out there i guess for some of us its more of what we could have back there if everyone was fit.

i just hope we win this because the media will be wanking over pool now
what a response to them losing to chelsea
 
Good team that.

Fletch, Ronaldo, Giggs, Evra and VDS all fresh for Porto, but no distinct drop of quality.

Plus, what a fecking bench! Plenty of attacking options all out to prove themselves!
 
It seems that today's game doesnt have much streams.

If anyone have one pls share.
 
I have to say im very surprised by the squad we have out there today. Quite a few of our injured players or those in doubt have returned. Now hopefully we are fresh enough to produce an outstanding performance and get all 3 points. Time to get our season back on track!
