Very strong bench too. All attacking changes apart from Evans, Neville could be used late on in the game to whip in some crosses if we're getting a bit desperate.

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.
Arguably our strongest attacking line-up. I can't fecking wait!
By Lucas and Mascherano?..
Graham Alexander and Chris McCann, they ran there arses off when we played at Burnley with Giggs and Carrick in the middle. Lucas and Mascherano will not stop running and making it hard for Carrick and Scholes to get space.
I'm surprised Anderson isn't in the starting line up, aside from Fletcher and Hargreaves. He is the only one who seems to rough it up a bit and put a foot in.
oh I love this fixture. potential for pain and hurt but when we win............oh man its the sweetest thing
Why? Only a few seasons ago, people were saying they were by far our best CM pairing and we've beaten Liverpool with that pairing before.
Feel a bit sorry for Anderson as well, especially given his current form. But great line up.
From BBC
From Rafael & Fabio on 606: "I've never, ever liked the combination of Scholes-Carrick - they rarely, if ever, play well together, especially in a 'big' game. I would have liked to see Anderson - he gives us more bite."
Did this person completely miss the 06/07 season?

I like this team.
We have the opportunity to create total crisis at Pool. Hope we take it and rub it in hard.

36 minutes left.
You do realise Rooney will be played out left and asked to shackle Johnson? This won't be 4-4-2 at all.
Clueless twat... 606... No real surprise.
We beat Chelsea in the Champions League Final with Scholes - Carrick as well. Unbelievable.
So does Owen start or not ?
They've just said on tv that he does

Very good lineup! fecking SSN making me think SAF had left out the Berbator. We'll miss Fletch but I like the attacking and passing abilities in that side. I'm excited now. Off to the pub I need some chilling ale
No, he's on the bench.
We'll see. Berbatov is completely ineffective if played alone upfront. SAF knows that without Ronaldo in the team, we just don't have someone who works as a lone striker. I think he'll go 4-4-2.
Good grief.
If one of our players keeps Benayoun quiet then Torres will feel a little stranded up there
A lot depends on wich Scholes that shows up today.
If he is on top of his game we have a good chance of getting the points.
If not, it could be a frustrating afternoon.

Not sure what the
is for, it's a very realistic possibility. I hope it's not the case though.And once Torres feels isolated and not getting anything from the game, he loses all concentration and tends to spend the rest of the match yapping at the officials.
Is D-Fletch injured or something?
I hope we stuff 'em.

One yellow and we are in deep trouble.
Even as one of Paul Scholes' biggest fans, I have to agree. Let's just hope this is one of his good days, because just lately he tends to be either superb or abysmal.
Not sure what the
This is Glen Johnson we're talking about, right? I'd let him roam forward as much as he wants, Giggs can exploit the gap.

Agree! Let's hope he survive the first 60 min.Once he gets booked (we know he will
I'm liking what our away fans are doing: the red balloons, the Cantona masks, the class banners (Giggs 11 Gerrard 0, We're Back - 18 Times, Arise Sir Ryan). Our fans will be class today, they always are but today especially.

, at least the where smiling about it.....a scouser with a sense of humour has got to be a rariety.Also I'm so pumped for this match today, we owe them for last season.
starting with Carrick and Scholes means that we are going to try and keep possesion and kill them off with class
