Good line up, I'd go with that too, but I think Gary will play on saturday.

2-0. Tevez and Berbatov
 
If Neville starts, we can assume he's first choice again

------- Ed -------
Wes - Rio - Vidic - Evra
----Fletch - Anderson----
Ronaldo---Tevez---Giggs
-------Rooney-------
 
Brown earned his place last season. I'll be extremely disappointed if Neville starts.

Neville is a united legend, he is man united. i think hes finding form and fitness again and if he does hes the best right back weve got no doubt.
Mabey brown can be centre back cover with neville and rafael as right backers depending on the opposition.
Difficult away game or CL final tommorow however and brown must start.
I like brown but neville is a united hero and isnt quite ready for the Travellers yard just yet.
 
--------------------- VDS ---------------------

-- Brown --- Ferdinand ---- Vidic ------- Evra --

-- Ronaldo -- Fletcher --- Hargreaves --- Nani --

------------- Berbatov -- Rooney --------------

Subs: Kuszczak/Amos, Neville, O'Shea, Anderson, Park, Giggs, Tevez
 
With Scholes and Carrick out i think we need somone in CM that has a pretty cool head and keeps hold of possession well. Hopefully one of Giggs or Fletch will start. A midfield combo of Anderson + Hargreaves will lose the ball too often in the middle of the park imo.

I'd like the team to be:

VDS
Neville Ferdinand Vidic Evra
Ronaldo Fletcher Giggs Park
Rooney(if fit)
Berbatov​
 
Nani needs games, games, games. otherwise we can forget him!

brown ferdinand vidic evra

ronaldo anderson fletcher nani

berbatov tevez​


I havent been impressed with him recently but hes got great potential, which wont be realised on the bench at his age.

That'd be my team as well.
Bring Giggs on in the second half if needed to provide some creativity and control in midfield, Park for Nani if he's playing like an idiot again, and maybe give Rafael, Manucho or Evans some time towards the end if we're looking comfortable.
 
I would prob go with this team

VDS

Nev Rio Vida Evra

Ronaldo Fletcher Anderson Park

Tevez Berbatov
Bench: Amos, Brown, O'shea, Nani, Giggs, hargreaves, Manucho/Welbeck

I would hate to risk Rooney and him to make his injury worse, Manucho or Welbeck should be fine doing a job of the bench. Tempted to start Hargreaves on the right wing and Ronny on the left but not sure how fit he is.

2-0 to us I reckon with Ronaldo and Berba getting them, Tevez and Anderson to have good matches.

Good team. But Brown :(
 
I hope Roberts doesn't start for Rovers. He doesn't score many but is a handful with his pace and strength.

If we should be afraid of Jason Roberts we could pack in our season right away.
 
Any news of Rafael's injury? Any chance of him being on the bench at least?

Brown was never a right back. At full strengh last season he was the only player i would have swapped. He is a good central defender and "decent" right back.

Team should be

VDS
Neville Ferdinand Vidic Evra
Ronaldo Fletcher Anderson Giggs
Tevez
Berbatov

Id think Brown's performances against the likes of Barca,Roma,Lyon,Chelsea,and Liverpool last year makes him more than a 'decent' RB. Granted he is not good going forward but he did put in a few beauty crosses (CL Final) but he did his part in stifling some of the best sides in the world.
 
This is odd. I will be playing a game for my youth footy club at pretty much the same time United will be playing. My youth team's kit is red.

Have to agree, while he is much more accomplished at CB, he did brilliantly last season and fully deserves his place at RB.
 
Two football teams playing at the same time on a Saturday. Weird.

Ok. Not that out of the ordinary, but I've never played at the same time as United. Mostly because United plays at around 9 in the morning here, (CST) and my games are usually at noon.
