Blackburn v Man Utd (11th January 2006)

In any case...

Howard

...G.Neville.....Pique..........Rio..........Evra

..Rooney....Fletcher...Smith......Ronaldo

..............Rossi.....
.......................V.Nistelrooy.....

Strongish team, and we'd like to take a lead back to Old Trafford. Went for Rio on the left of centre because i feel it would be beneficial for Evra to make his debut alongside an experienced player as opposed to a youngster or just O'Shea.

Gaz for right back because i'd like to see Pique play next to an experienced player as opposed to Bardsley. Giggs should rest for weekend, especially if Park won't make it. Rossi should also get to start alongside Ruud.
 
Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Howard, Neville, Bardsley, Brown, Ferdinand, Silvestre, Evra, O'Shea, Richardson, Ronaldo, Fletcher, Smith, Scholes, Giggs, Van Nistelrooy, Saha, Rooney, Rossi, Solskjaer.

VDS
Gazza - Rio - Brown - Evra
Ronaldo - Fletcher - Smith - Giggs
Rooney - Ruud

WTF? Is this official?
 
I'm willing to bet anything that Fergie will play 4-5-1 today, hoping to get a draw to take back to OT.

official?
 
Why would Evra and Richardson play on the right and Brown on the left?

Is that the line up for tonight?

If so I'd like to see Wes continue in the centre.

With the same players....

-------------Howard-------------
--O'Shea--Wes--Silvestre--Evra--
--Ronaldo--Fletch--Smith--Richardson--
----------Saha----Rossi----------

Think we will do well to get a draw, think we might half settle for that cos we have a 2nd leg to finish them off, but Blackburn are useful too and tinkering with the lineup does open us up a bit. The onus is on them to attack and win this leg so hopefully we can stay solid and catch them with a few counters.

No mirrors involved.

Well according to that line up we're playing 1 1-1-1-1 1-1-1-1 1-1 which is pretty stupid IMO, provides no width!
