This is my first match day thread. If we lose I will obviously never do one again!
I thought this game was at 3pm
You were wrong.
Never thought of that, but a very good point. Think you are right about that. Fletcher-Carrick it is then and Fletch-Giggs for wednesday.I doubt giggs will start, with carrick suspended in europe.
I doubt giggs will start, with carrick suspended in europe, giggs will have to play that game. I'd expect fletch and carrick in the middle which is probably why fletch had this week off as he'll likely play the next thee games. It's a shame park and Valencia have played 120 mins of football already. It would have been nice to keep one of young nani fresh for midweek. Hopefully though we can wrap the game up quickly.

Haven't people been banging on for weeks that Carrick & Fletcher don't work together, or am I mistaken?
I think they did OK against Benfica, more-so Carrick, though. The main problem is we don't really have anyone else to play there.. Unless we play 442 with Giggs in the middle. I'd like to see a 4231 for this match though with Hernández coming on in the second half:Haven't people been banging on for weeks that Carrick & Fletcher don't work together, or am I mistaken?
I love United.
We really need to get ourselves sorted and stop fecking about now.
I'd like to see:
De Gea
Jones Vidic Ferdinand Evra
Carrick Fletcher
Nani Giggs Young
Rooney
Smalling probably deserves a spot but seeing as he gave absolutely everything for 120minutes last night he'll probably miss out.
Carrick and Fletcher got done like dinners at Villa park last season but we don't really have any choice. I guess they can just sit deep and our front 4 hopefully can create the chnaces between them. If we don't win this one I expect we'll be chasing a 8 point lead.
Both were out of form then, this time we have Carrick playing well and Fletcher getting better with each game. Before last season when they played they were an effective combo, I'm sure they'll be fine.
I've not seen any real signs of Fletcher improving in truth, and it's a combo that has never been great in my view, it's very short on ideas and variation.
Cleverley? Unduly optimistic I fear.
With Cleverley not due back for another month as a result of a recurrence of an ankle problem.
