Manchester United VS Chelsea

[Feed Me]

Well at the very least spend a lot more time on the bench. Hopefully they'll both do the job as they're fine players when doing the biz.

In the case of Carrick: good players who have played a role in our successes over the past three/four years deserve a little more leeway when form dips. That is all that is happening with Carrick at the moment. It sickens me when people talk about flogging players on the basis of a bit of bad form. It's so reactionary and knee jerk, it's untrue.

Even Berbatov has done well enough this season to be commanding respect from United fans. Some however, seem intent on remembering only his debut season. This season, the fella has done well when called upon. I have every faith that he'll produce the goods in the absence of Rooney.

 

[Julian Denny]

Line up should be something like this yeah?


Gary Ferdinand Vidic Evra

Feltcher Carrick

Scholes

Valenca Giggs

Berbatov

I doubt Scholes will start. Giggs in where he is and either Park or Nani where Giggs is

 

[hungrywing]

Probably something like:

-------Back Five-------
---Fletch----Carrick----
Val----Giggs/Park---Nani
---------Berba---------

 

[OneUnited24]

Im going with

VDS
Rafael Rio Vidic Evra
Carrick Fletcher
Giggs
Valencia Berbatov Nani​

 

[RonaldoVII]

I'm bricking it already. I very rarely get nervous before United games but today is different

 

[Kelvin]

------------VDS------------
Rafael-------Vidic------Rio------------Evra
Valencia----Fletcher---Scholes---Giggs------Nani
------------Berbatov----------

 

[Cold_Boy]

Its been a while where the winner of these big clash ties actually has a chance to take advantage in the title race, or well thats why im bricking it! So much rests on this game

 

[SecondFig]

Would like to see:

----------------VdS----------------
Rafael-----Vidic-------Rio--------Evra
---------Fletcher--Scholes----------

[hungrywing]

You need a drink - or a few

Best/worst day of the year in the household what with the old man being a Chelsea fan.

Oh God. Please no. My sinuses are threatening sub-facial reconstruction and I can barely hold down a light broth.

 

[Dobba]

RedCafe favourite BenHibbs is saying

Team: Vds Nev Rio Vida Evra Scholes Fletch Park Valencia Berba Giggs. Drogba on bench for Chelsea #mufc

United bench: Kuszczak, Rafael, De Laet, Carrick, Nani, Macheda, Gibson

 

[Stojan Stamenic]

Ben Hibbs: Team: Vds Nev Rio Vida Evra Scholes Fletch Park Valencia Berba Giggs. Drogba on bench for Chelsea

I like that team... More tehnique, less strenght!

 

[Magnus]

No Drogba in the starting 11 for the rents or so I´m told

 

[iSparky]

Hargreaves shown getting off the bus

cocks out?

 

[I'm always right]

No-one else here think SAF could throw one of his curve balls and actually start Hargo?

 

[Diabo_Sam]

Nani?

 

[RonaldoVII]

Ben Hibbs said similar before Bolton and got it nowhere near.

 

[Kelvin]

neville starting scares me.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Nani?

I don't think he'll start. Valencia is fresher and Park is a big game key-in.

 

[Dobba]

Ben Hibbs said similar before Bolton and got it nowhere near.

Very true, I'm posting it more in a Lawro prediction sort of way

 

[Sir A1ex]

Drogba on the bench according to BBC

 

[Crustanoid]

Jesus they're confident

 

[MacMUFC]

Maybe when Hell freezes over.

 

[radd]

Oh God. Please no. My sinuses are threatening sub-facial reconstruction and I can barely hold down a light broth.

My sinuses are in as bad - or worse shape - but I'm still soldiering on - I hope I last till the end of the game

[EDIT: Nevermind the subordinate clause overload - whos's got the line-up? ]

 

[Red Defence]

No-one else here think SAF could throw one of his curve balls and actually start Hargo?

I've got him in my starting line up but no-one else has.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Drogba on the bench according to BBC

Surely that negates Rooney's absense?

 

[Kraftwerker]

Drogba never does shit against us anyway.

 

[Crustanoid]

------------VDS------------
Rafael-------Vidic------Rio------------Evra
Valencia----Fletcher---Scholes---Giggs------Nani
------------Berbatov----------

Why would VDS not be standing anywhere near his goal?!?!?!

 

[Cold_Boy]

Good Carrick is on the bench.

Nani should have played.

Otherwise this is best we could put there.

 

[JayWalker]

Drogba's absence shouldnt matter much. He is always poor against us.

 

[I'm always right]

I've got him in my starting line up but no-one else has.

I'd play him!

 

[MacMUFC]

Who the feck is Ben Hibbs though, seriously? I keep hearing his name and everybody seems to take his word as gospel. Can someone please tell me?

 

[Jaap]

Ben Hibbs: Team: Vds Nev Rio Vida Evra Scholes Fletch Park Valencia Berba Giggs. Drogba on bench for Chelsea

Park, Valencia et Giggs to interchance behind Berba?
