Bolton vs. United

Agreed this is a really tough one and too close to call. A win today would really set us up for a real go at the league.
 
Bolton sure is a tricky opponent but our form at the moment is so good that I can't see us losing any points today. Scholes, Rooney, Ronaldo and Saha are brilliant and getting better in every game! Vidic, Nevile and Ferdinand are so strong and Evra is playing strong as well. No Heinze today! Evra deserves to play.
 
SAF has confirmed that:

-none of those who played against crewe will feature!! This worries me, as it means Evra starts at LB. As good as his form has been, he is susceptible against strong arm tactics of Bolton esp in the air.

-he said that ronaldo returns, in what will otherwise be the same team that beat liverpool - so that means that either fletcher or carrick drops out.

based on that, i reckon:

vds
gaz--rio--vida--evra
ronnie--fletch--scholesy--giggs
rooney--saha

subs: kuszczak, brown, ole, carrick, heinze

I like this team alot
definitely the way to go I reckon
fletcher will give us the hardworking battling qualities whilst evra will give us greater attacking flair...

my only concern with this team is how we'll fair with the long ball?

Make that DARREN FLETCHER.

Thank god he aint playing.
 
Probably our best team at the moment. Classic SAF talking up Fletcher ahead of dropping him. Nice to have Ole on the bench if we need a late winner too.

Why?

Because he doesn't star in Nike commercials?
 
Bravo Fergie. Only crib I have is with Evra ahead of Heinze. Heinze is better suited to these physical kind of games but kind of form Evra's been in of late, he deserves his place I guess

Heinze clearly not yet match fit after his injury so Evra the way to go.
 
Our strongest line-up possible, with chelsea winning against Sheffield , we have to beat Bolton.

Brilliant lineup.

Nobody can have any complaints about that, nice to see we're playing our best side.

Come on lads!
 
Ronnie, Giggs,Saha and Rooney should do their back 4 for pace so I can see us scoring a few. The question will be if we can shut them out which is going to be difficult.

2-2 or 3-2 to us I reckon
 
Yup thats our best team. My only 1 change might have been JOS in for Scholes. Clearly Scholesy is a much better player but with Boltons physical nature he might help toughen us up. Carrick/JOS is our most defensive lineup and Carrick can go forward (or at least put the ball forward) well and with both Giggs and Ronaldo we won't be lacking in attack.

Still I agree that is our best available lineup talent wise.
 
Its strange for all my shouting last season that we were 2 defensive I actually think we might be too attacking today. I hope we don't get outfought.
 
Not only is it not on tv, but im capped and cannot watch a live stream ... sigh
