Thats because No.19 > any other cup.
Suprised to see Giggs playing, would've thought Scholes would get in ahead of him. Happy to see SAF continue with Rooney-Hernandez, that partnership is looking very good.
Strong bench.

You better fecking get nervous then. We win usually when you're negative and nervous.
Now I'm nervous just because you're not. Way to go wr8. cnut.

Reckon Nani is still a bit unfit and Fergie probably wanted more defensive work from his wingers.

No that was the 2-0 where Saha scored a penalty I think. I think this game was post-Scolari.
Yeah, and i think SAF is probably worried about Scholes being overrun by Essien or perhaps mistiming a couple of tackles and seeing red. Giggs should have a bit more in the legs and has been playing more regularly recently.
my nerves
He's more suited for an away lineup against Chelsea IMO. Better at tracking back than Nani too.
I will be more nervous next week. This game will stil be wide open for the 2nd leg
Nani's work rate and tracking back has been great this year, but maybe he's a little unfit, still, he got a rest at the weekend.
I'm a bit baffled by it, hopefully it'll be cleared up.
Well, theres a second leg. As long as we dont do a Spurs we'll still be alive next week. Takes some pressure off.
I am scared by the midfield. Carrick will be on his own.
What is wrong with Anderson? And why is Scholes not starting?

I feel Hernandez starting is absolute key to an away goal here
He and Rooney were sensational in the league game

Because Fergie hates you and wants to make you suffer.

Tbf though I've not been nervous for any CL match since the Benfica group stage tie at OT on Matchday 6 and that too because it brought back bad memories
Seems to me Giggs and Scholes are sharing this game.
Giggs played tough 90 on Saturday and will likely give way to Scholes on the hour if not before. Scholes ran the show at the Bridge till he tired and we were overpowered.
Strategy could well be to stay really solid first half then start pushing on from the hour mark with late substitutions - Berbs/Scholes and Nani - swinging it our way.
Hope so anyway!

Great team, I expect Rooney to support the mid and Hernandez up on his own
Fergie's got balls.
I'm more positive I'll be more nervous about the Fulham game at the weekend than either of these Chelsea games
Reckon we will get knocked of Europe tonight for all intents and purposes
Park and giggs start and nani or berba dont. FFS. I just can't imagine what it must be like to be berba or nani watching park get into the first 11. Well we all know what tevez thought about it.
I think the presence of Darren Ferguson proves that.
Imo Park may play through the middle, Behind Hernandez
2-1 defeat. Torres by 2 for them, Valencia for us. We'll beat them to go through in the second leg.
I think we're focussing more here on who's been left out than who is actually back in.
RIO's back!!!!!! And Rafael!!

I like Hernandez against Terry he does have problems with quick players
Here's what I reckon this lineup is:
This is what I think too, he tends to be put on some big performances down the middle in games like these. Bagged himself a goal at SB too.
Energy yes but def not physicality!
Depends completely on the supply line. If we arent able to create chances then Hernandez could be fairly quiet. For me Nani is key to away day goals, more-so when we have 1 up front. But hopefully Giggs, Valencia or Rooney will step up and create multiple chances
Terry will just punch him to the ground and not get booked for it. Iron Man 3.
That lineup is either sheer genius or utter retardation. I have no idea which, but I don't think it will be anywhere in the middle.
Park is deceptively strong and good in the tackle. There's a reason he usually outworks and outmuscles strong midfields on a regular basis.
lots of movement going forward with Park Rooney and Giggs swapping positions regularly. That will give John Terry plenty to think about. Not the big man's strong point that....thinking.
Holy shit, that's ballsy by SAF.
Reckon we'll introduce Nani and Scholes for the last half-hour to either get or add to, the away goal...
