still no Rio damm
Brown and Smalling in cb worries me
Smalling doesn't, Brown hasn't had many games so he worries me ever so slightly. But he's been good against Liverpool in the past.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Seems he's saving the warhorses for the final few minutes to close out the game.
Carrick and Scholes - dreamteam #winning
No Fletcher concerns me, Rafael starting is good to see.
Weird isn't it? I believe nothing till they tell me.
In the words of rioferdy5
He speaks the truth
He speaks the truth
of our last 10 vs Liverpool we've won 7 and lost 3. Fletcher didn't play in any of the 3 we lost.
I'd hazzard a guess at:
Kuszczak, Fabio, O'Shea, Fletcher, Gibson, Hérnandez, Obertan.

Correction #mufc: Van der Sar; Rafael Brown Smalling Evra; Nani Carrick Scholes Giggs; Rooney, Berbatov
Excellent
Yes! we are going for it, but this formation could still be 4-3-3 with Rooney on the left and Giggs as part of a midfield 3 if needed.
Official MUTV confirmed linup:
----------VDS
Rafael Brown Smalling Evra
Nani Carrick Scholes Giggs
------Rooney Berbatov

I wish we opted for 4-5-1.
To be honest I'd feel better with the originally reported lineup.
Cant believe Fergie would leave Fletcher out especially after the chelsea game.
Anyhoo, good positive lineup. Nice to see berbs and rafael back.

I´ve played football, even played QPR in 94, so I know my fair share of the game. I just think that we are at our best when attacking.
wtf is with Sky reporting the wrong team the spastics?!
SSN confirmed it's
VDS
Rafael
Smalling
Brown
Evra
Nani
Carrick
Scholes
Giggs
Berb
Rooney
Bit unsure about that lineup, makes me nervous to see both Scholes and Giggs in a 4-4-2 formation, and that's such a young (and talented) back line, I think 4-5-1 with Fletcher, and Carrick, protecting the back line may have been the way to go.
But hey, never doubt SAF, let's do this!

Very attacking line up. Not sure that our midfield will offer enough protection to the 2 centre-halves that have not played together regularly. Could be a problem. I expect an exciting game with a load of heart-in-mouth moments.
We're going for this one, could be great, could be shit, either way Fergie has shown massive bollocks
4-4-2 YEEEES. Love it Fergie. Get at them
. Get at themWhy is Rafael now picked?
Fergie's rotation does not make sense. If he is going to play O'Shea vs City and Chelsea, but then bring in Rafael today. I am confused at this.

My only concern is Scholes in a 442 away from home, partnered by Carrick. Neither of them will chase it and put pressure on the opposition.
Nani and Rafael are going to run riot against Aurelio and Maxi.
Have you seen Liverpools left side?
The wait is killing me.
feck it why vidic get himself sent off against chelsea.
They are weak down the left so Fergie is looking to apply as much attacking pressure as possible.
Rafael attacking presence will cause their defence quite a lot of problems. With this line up its easy to see Fergie is not going to settle for a draw.
With age comes nervousness about united matches. I'm bricking it.
Whats the confusion ? Pool's attack is not as potent as City or Chelsea, so he's going for the more adventurous option. Simple.
I'd have been happy with either line up.
DAmn no Owen.. Had him to score today.
Gibson and Chicha to come over some point.. we'll see

Fletcher has been played out of position and I'm fairly sure that's had an impact on his fitness.
I've read that Fletcher got a knock againt Chelsea, so maybe that's why he's not starting.
fiiiive Berbatovs!
