Liverpool v Manchester United

VDS; O'Shea, Brown, Smalling, Evra; Nani, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs; Rooney

Ben Hibbs.
 
Henry Winter says

Van der Sar; Rafael Brown Smalling Evra; Nani Carrick Scholes Giggs; Rooney, Berbatov.
 
It does supprise me that we have dropped our best striker this season for every big game, but kept giving Rooney games even though his form has been hit and miss.

5 in 5 is hardly hit and miss is it? Couple of those being absolute belters at that... Am gutted not to see Berba as well, but let's be somewhat optimistic.
 
Correction #mufc: Van der Sar; Rafael Brown Smalling Evra; Nani Carrick Scholes Giggs; Rooney, Berbatov
 
It's definitely

Van der Sar; Rafael Brown Smalling Evra; Nani Carrick Scholes Giggs; Rooney, Berbatov.
 
Van der Sar; Rafael Brown Smalling Evra; Nani Carrick Scholes Giggs; Rooney, Berbatov

Ben Hibbs now confirms :lol:

So, solved the 442 / Berbatov issues but now I'm worried about the midfield missing Fletcher's energy and Scholes starting away in a 442 :nervous:
 
Rooney always trys too hard against Liverpool and is rarely impressive, especially at anfield

hehe
 
Excellent team that, great to see Positive intent by Fergie.

Given its Hibbs it probably means Berba is not only playing but also captain today.
Well one of these is wrong. Winter's was wrong last time wasn't it. Think he guesses at it, much like us. That or he's got a useless ITK.
 
I suspect Smalling will move to the left side of the middle which allows Rafael in.
 
still no Rio damm :(

Brown and Smalling in cb worries me :nervous:
 
Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Aurelio, Carragher, Skrtel, Gerrard, Lucas, Meireles, Maxi, Kuyt, Suarez.
Subs: Gulacsi, Kyrgiakos, Poulsen, Spearing, Cole, Ngog, Carroll.
 
So we are playing Smalling and Brown together for the first time away with Carrick and Scholes in midfield.

There will be goals.
 
This'll probably come back and bite us in the ass. We'll probably give our worst performance of the season.
