Derby County Vs Manchester United

Great bench that.
 
So it must be flecther and Carrick against Chelsea ? With Park and Ronaldo in the wings and Nevile at right back.

Really hoped Vidic didnt have to play today.
 
Great exciting lineup. Hopefully Gibson stays back and let Anderson bomb forward and roam free.
 
Let's not forget our last game vs Derby

They couldn't win for toffee in the league, and we struggled to make the break through. COULD be tight tonight.
 
No defenders on the bench. :nervous:

Just realised we are lacking in defenders at the moment with Brown and Rio injured, Fabio not having any match practice at all and Cathcart and Gray on loan. Suspect Fletcher on would come if there's an injury.
 
So if Rafael picks up a knock, then i guess Fletch will go in at RB, and if O'Shea picks up a knock then Giggs in for him. Any of the CB's have to go off and O'Shea will move centrally, and Giggs will come on. Hopefully that won't happen though :)
 
Giggs can play left back and O'Shea CB eventually, Fletcher RB if needed also ... but no possible make shift CB's on the bench.
 
Anderson can also play left back. The true value of this match is that Evra can play against Chelsea.
 
would have rather seen gibson possebon scholes....leave anderson for fat lumpard and michael bollocks
 
Decent team as always. Get behind the players and believe that they can get the job done. Im not too surprised that we didnt see some players selected in this squad because it is a semi final after all. This is not really the best time to be experimenting with those who are lackin in match sharpness.
 
vs Chelsea then:

..............VDS
Nev.......Rio....Vida.....Evra
Park..Carrick..Fletcher..Ronaldo
.........Rooney....Berba
 
Shocked to see Ronaldo is there at all...

Scholes and Anderson, hey. I remember we went to Derby once with Veron and Scholes, created tons of chances... and drew 2-2. That was big points lost in the title race in 2002. Still, Different year, different case.

Yep. Most likely, I'd say Fletcher would be the only debatable one, but with Anderson and Scholes playing, he's most likely to play.

Anderson is a lot stronger defensively than Veron.
