433? That makes me sad.
Please no
Where the hell are Valencia and Berbatov? why are we playing 4-5 bloody 1 in a game we need to win?If thats the team its taken the wind right out of my sails.
4-3-3
My confidence has just lessened
My confidence has just lessened
Oh ffs !! Why play with only one striker ?!
Nice. Was kind of hoping for no Valencia (not as anti-Valencia but as positive-Nani)
ffs with the 4-5-1/4-3-3
Sack Fergie sell Giggs
Sack Fergie sell Giggs
Rooney upfront alone again
4-5-1, I don't believe it
Sadly, i do...its what we do in big games these days, getting ridiculous now mind.
Not the best news 4-3-3/4-5-1, why do we persist with it?
Who's the ref?
OK, so downsides to that lineup:
4-5-1 = Rooney isolated, less likely to score.
Rafael at RB instead of Brown
Scholes - he is best when he has time on the ball, which wont be tonight

Mr. Policeman
I would prefer Brown over Rafael
We played 4-3-3 the night we annihilated Roma
I expect it in big games. But not city at home.
I still think we'll win, but i think it will be much tighter now.
Thought we would go 442
Howard Webb's the referee, Wiley's the fourth official.
I think 4-3-3 will work a lot better now that both Nani and Giggs are in the team.
SAF wants to dominate midfield. I suppose Giggs will try and slot in behind Rooney as often as he can.
Subs: Kuszczak, Brown, Park, Vidic, Owen, Berba, Valencia

Defensive, as expected.
Rooney and Smith upfront.
seems like a poor lineup for the situation.
On a different note, does anyone know of any reliable (preferably private-ish) streams for tonight?

Mine to, really thought wed go out and really take it to them tonight, instead weve reverted to type, pack the midfield and isolate Rooney
maybe weve forgotten we start the game 2-1 down?And we played 4-3-3 when we got beat by City last week. What's your point?
We actually started a 4-2-3-1 Formation with Giggs in center, Rooney on left and Ronaldo on right
Sub Berbasex for Scholes in the first 60 seconds
Agree with that.
Vidic on the bench.
he's off to madrid.
anyway.
come on United !

I take it KO is 2000hrs?
ffs, sometimes i wish we'd grow some bollocks.
Oh boy...
Now lets not be too negative here. 4-3-3 would work very well but 4-5-1 will no doubt lead to Rooney being isolated up front. I hope Giggs and Nani push up front to give Rooney the support he needs.
