We'll win. Bebe to play and do well.
 
I highly doubt bebe will even play a small part.

Unless ofcourse saf decides to "rest" players again :wenger:
 
Bebe wasn't involved today because he had a knock but hopefully he'll be fit for the squad.

It seems that our only fit winger is Nani at the moment. We should throw in Bebe and Obertan from the start as it's Bursaspor and we need to see if at least one of these two can help us in the league.

Agreed. This run of poor performances is a perfect opportunity to give our youngsters a go in the first team because it's pretty blatant that our current midfield just isn't cutting it.
 
VDS

Rafael - Vidic - Rio - Evra

- Scholes - Fletcher

-----Anderson

Nani---------Rooney

-----Berba
 
Kuszczak
Brown Evans Smalling Fabio
Bebe Gibson Fletcher Obertan
Rooney Owen​

Subs: Van der Sar, Neville, O'Shea, Nani, Anderson, Carrick, Macheda.
 
I wouldn't underestimate Bursaspor - can we actually underestimate anyone at the moment? Bursaspor are 6 points clear after 8 games in the Turkish Süper Lig (with a game in hand). They also beat Galatasaray 2-0 a couple of months back.

Hoping for Obertan to start this one.

Bursaspor do pick up a load of yellow cards, mind... 2010
 
I want to see something criminal done in the pitch on wed. We need a 5,6-0 win to get us going again..
 
Doubt we'll rest Fletcher, Nani and Scholes. We need to really go out at get at Bursaspor in our next two matches because

a) our games after the next two matches are Stoke away and Wolves home, which would go down as less difficult fixtures to be fair to the sides involved, and

b) we basically need to go into the home game against Valencia with qualification wrapped up, because we play Arsenal 4 days later and then Chelsea after that and should be fielding a second string team that night.
 
feck it
i've decided no point getting bogged down by shit results . i want to enjoy watching us play

more goals please
 
I expect us to play quite a strong side. We can't afford to be taking liberties after the Rangers game. I do think some will be rested though.

Rafael Evans Vidic Evra
Carrick Fletcher
Nani Gibson Obertan

Again I'd say resting Nani's a possibility after five or so games in a row, and less difficult is arguable.

Also I don't believe a team of say:

Kuszczak, Brown, Evans, Smalling, O'Shea; Fletcher, Scholes, Gibson, Park; Rooney, Owen

would be that bad a selection in all honestly.

Our remaining post European fixtures are Wolves home, Stoke away, Arsenal home, Blackburn home.

I've have Stoke and Wolves as the easier of those two.
 
van der Sar

O'Shea
Ferdinand
Vidic
Evra

Nani
Fletcher
Scholes
Anderson

Rooney
Berbatov

SUBS: Kuszczak, Rafael, Smalling, Park, Carrick, Bebe, Hernandez.

Would like to fit Owen in there somewhere though, perhaps for Park/Bebe.

That team will almost certainly drop points...again.

And please not Gibson again
 
It will be another tortured night of watching United - like most of this season has been - they are a nothing side so its going to be 0-0 or 0-1 to them & a national holiday will be declared in Bursaspor.

I will be ribbed mersilesly by Citeh fans at work the next day.

However, on the bright side it the kick up the arse we need :rolleyes: the players will respond and we go on a 27 match winning streak - Rooney breaks the club goalscoring record - we win the quadruple and all will be well again in our world :devil:
 
I've heard we're starting Kai Rooney up top for this.
 
We know they'll at least score 2, that's a prerequisite these days.
 
I'd love for Fabio to be given a chance. Maybe try him at LB and Evra as LM or vice-versa.
 
Raf-Rio-Vio-Evro
-Carro-Fletcho--
-Nano-Jio-Oboe-
-----Rooney----

Why would we want someone to start playing an Oboe on the pitch? I'm all for new tactics but I highly doubt the Bursaspor players are partial to a little classical Oboe playing.
 
I've heard they go crazy for a bit of clarinet though.
