A.C. Milan v Manchester United

[Berlinknives]

Quinton Fortune was in the line up as I recall. He played quite well as I remember.

You must be thinking of a different game...

Man Utd: Van der Sar, O'Shea, Brown, Heinze, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, Ronaldo, Rooney, Giggs.

Subs Not Used: Kuszczak, Smith, Solskjaer, Dong, Richardson, Eagles, Lee.

Booked: Evra, Giggs.

Goals: Ronaldo 6, Rooney 59, 90.

AC Milan: Dida, Oddo, Nesta, Maldini (Bonera 46), Jankulovski, Gattuso (Brocchi 52), Pirlo, Ambrosini, Seedorf, Kaka, Gilardino (Gourcuff 84).
Subs Not Used: Kalac, Cafu, Inzaghi, Favalli.

Booked: Kaka, Bonera.

Goals: Kaka 22, 37.

Att: 73,820

Ref: Kyros Vassaras (Greece).​

Bench was very weak, no recognised defenders, even with O'Shea's versatility a defensive injury would probably forced a major reshuffle.

 

[Scholesy]

If Scholes and Fletcher support Rooney, then we will score.

If they dont, it will be a frustrating match.

I just hadn't seen any posts from you in a while.

I know, I've had to gear back because of other commitments.

I'm still around though. I need to get back blogging as well.

Oh, I'm thinking back to 2005 when we last faced them in the last 16.

For some reason i'm not as excited about this game as i would usually be.

Dont get as excited about first legs these days. As long as were not losing by more than one, the second leg is where the tie is won or lost .

How about if we leave Italy up 0-4?

 

[Red Dreams]

I simply expect us to beat them today.

If I'm not mistaken, paranoid anxiety is a side effect of too much pot...

Probably you could argue that G. Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Silvestre, Park Ji-Sung and Saha were all out injured, and Gibson and Evans were amongst those out on loan. Without injuries at that time I suppose United could've had made a wholesale change team of:

Kuszczak
G. Neville
Ferdinand
Vidic
Silvestre
Park Ji-Sung
Smith
Richardson/Eagles
Solskjaer
Saha
Larsson/Eagles.

The bench in Milan was much stronger Ferdinand and Saha for Lee and Dong, the team itself should've been stronger too basically having Vidic at centreback instead of Heinze. We know he wasn't fully fit.

United: Van der Sar; O'Shea (Saha 77), Brown, Vidic, Heinze; Carrick, Fletcher, Scholes, Ronaldo, Giggs; Rooney.

Subs not used: Kuszczak, Ferdinand, Richardson, Eagles, Smith, Solskjaer

Aye but either way it shows how far weve come as a squad that we look back at that now and well me personally wince when i read some of those names on the bench, we had a great first eleven in 06/07 but a pretty small squad all in all.

Used to smoke tons of them for years. Gave them up for 6 months, when i started again I only get paranoid and messed up. So much so I don't bother with them anymore.

[MrMarcello]

I'm feeling very confident about today's match. About how I felt when they played Arsenal recently. Hoping for a similar performance/result.

 

[Anduin]
