Would he be on the bench in that case?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Because we dont have anyone to play left cept Rooney. So it was a case of a choice between Berba and Hernandez, in which case, the latter's pace can be critical in this game.
Or would you rather play Obertan on the left against Chelsea at SB ? :shudder: Harsh on the lad but he hasnt done anything to prove otherwise.
Doubt it. Then he would not even be on the bench.
Maybe he's taken a knock ?
Very true, losing to City would have certainly hurt alot more however in proportion to the importance of this match right now and the league title race, this is surely the biggest acid test for Smalling.
I think he'll do well though. An amazing signing.
Giggs and Berbatov will most definitely come on as subs.
It'll be 4-5-1/4-3-3 rather then 4-4-2.
Happy to see Hernandez start. Need to get him in a foot race against Terry.

I'd say that's a fair assesment but watch this place go ballistic about Berbatov on the bench if we lose.
Anyone else feeling confident about tonights game? After seeing the line up I think we'll do it 
Hernandez should cause the Chelsea defence all sorts of trouble (again.)
Come on United.
Come on United.
Berbatov has started 2 games in that time.
I am happy to see Hernandez starts
Bastard
Not jealous.
seriously want to watch the match
maybe i will go out and try and find out
Fair if has taken a knock.
Look up Sports Bars in Honolulu on Google Maps and ring round.
Little less than 25 minutes to go.
Chicha always gives me the impression that he doesnt give a feck who he's playing against, just does his thing. Exactly what we need tonight.
Since liverpool have already won there, so can we.
Come on United!!!!
Come on United!!!!
The midfield cannot have an off day here
Ray Wilkins just said Drogba has a phenominal record against United
Is Berb injured then or what?
Yeah, I think that's it really. Whatever the reason for giving Berbatov the week off, Fergie's got to stick with a striker who just scored two goals in our last league game and has more away goals this season than Rooney and Berbatov combined.
Berbatov will understand. Seems like a really humble and reasonable bloke.
I'm glad to know you're still in the loop and not hiding in some cave.
Ray Wilkins just said Drogba has a phenominal record against United
I swear Ray Wilkins forgets he ever played for us!!! He's so die hard Chelsea it's sickening!!
Not been nervous all day, but it's just struck.
C'monnnnnn.
C'monnnnnn.
Ray Wilkins just said Drogba has a phenominal record against United
He got Arsenal and United mixed up.
Or he could have meant a phenomenal record of not scoring a lot of goals against us.
Exactly what I've been thinking. since there is no Berbatov, we need our midfield to create opportunities
Rafael??
Hernandez starting is a surprise, but not as big a surprise as Fergie fielding an unchanged line up.
I wonder if Fergie'd take a draw.
We need tall people especially today to deal with set pieces. There is Torres, Terry, Luiz, Lampard, Malouda, Drogba etc.
Probably. I know I would.
That makes 2 of us!
Pre-Match interview he said we have to win. I agree, Fergie will be more worried about the Liverpool game. We need to take at least 4 points from the next 2 games.
I'd be pretty fecking scared if Ivanovic just warped and appeared in front of me
I think it plays into our hands that a draw isn't good enough for Chelsea.
10 minutes to go.
It won't exactly be a good result for us to because Arsenal can close the gap. A win today really takes the pressure of us for the game against Pool and a draw there would be good enough.
Jesus cnuting Christ. How can shreeves ask "How is Ashley Cole mentally", fecking do me a favour Sky.
So is it a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3?
