not great
FFS where is Rooney??? 
is rooney injured ???
at least no Fletcher !

Still no Rooney? Not our strongest line up again.
Not our strongest line up again.We are not a one man team.
No Rooney, Giggs, Neville, Scholes, VDS, Silvestre, Fletcher, Foster, Dong
at home to birmingham, in fairness that team is more than able to cope with them.
Interesting. Cristiano upfront. I suspect he will be given the freedom to roam all over the pitch. Tevez will stay up top.
Looking for a good game from Nani.

You could say the same for Chelsea today. And their bit part players have step up and winning 2-1.
We'll respond.
Our oldest player in the starting 11 is Rio, 29 years old.
from midfield
Park, 26 - Carrick, 26 - Anderson, 19 - Nani, 21
Tevez, 23 - Ronaldo, 22

rooney has a virus
Recipe for disaster. Tevez can't go upfront on his own, he always drops back, and using the shortest player in the world as your target-man doesn't work.
Fact is gents there comes a time when the players on the fringes of your first XI have to step up if you want to win the EPL - that team should be fine.
Although Saha's absence from the start is unusual and Rooney is still ill obviosuly.

Fergie trying to show we wont be needing another striker now that Park is back and have decent cover for the wings maybe?
Very interesting line up, we should be fine. Nice to see Park start and also exciting to see Ronaldo as a striker (weather he actually will play as a strike remains to be seen).
Fergie is careful with Saha again. At this point last season he got injured at Newcastle on january 1st and after that he only started one game I think, against Reading away in the FA-Cup.
Expect to see Nani and/or Park in the box quite a lot with that line up....
We don't have any strikers again
Tevez should never play as a lone frontman. Especially not when Saha is fit
We're making an easy game potentially very difficult for ourselves

I'm fecked off with our line up, I took the captaincy off of Ronaldo in my dream team because I figured he's be rested in this game
We will be playing the ball on the ground. There won't be many long balls and crosses into the box.
And there's Saha on the bench if we need changes.
how do I watch the match on my pc?
Hey look no striker brilliant.
Nice to see Park, Carrick and O Shea get a start though.
I want Ronaldo to be captain

Good that he put the players who didnt perform last game on the bench.
Ronaldo upfront could be interesting, hopefully it works

have faith lads...
I think it's a very strong attacking line-up, Anderson will have licence to go forward and Park is more than useful in the opponents box.
five 26 years old's are starting today. Evra, Vidic, Carrick, Park, O'Shea and also Hargreaves on the bench.
Brown?
that team should be good enough, I think Ronaldo will be our main player today
is Brown already on the way to Spurs?
Calm down and go for a swim, Bahama boy United will be fine
It was always going to be a starting lineup like this I think. If Rooney was fit Ronaldo would've been on the bench and then some guys on here would be complaining about that instead.
Good lineup. We'll have no problems whatsoever.
Good lineup. We'll have no problems whatsoever.
Full of youth and movement and a steady midfield that should control the flow of the game.
If it was an away game I'd be worried about the starting line-up but I reckon this team will do it - we may look a little toothless at times though.
Hopefully, we get an early goal.
Ronaldo upfront won't work. He needs the ball and he will get it a lot less upfront. That has always happened when he played there.
And Park and Nani on the wings is not very encouraging. I don't think we'll play well, it's not a balanced line-up. Hopefully Ronaldo will save us again.

Far from our best line up but still far too much quality for Birmingham...
More than enough quality in that team. Lets hope they go out there and do the business. No excuses today lads, we need the 3 points.
Im 26 , 27 on Sunday though
Happy birthday for Sunday Gled
