Love the Line-up, except I would play Anderson instead of Carrick.

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.
Agreed.
Look at the bench though! 
Kuszczak, Neville, Owen, Anderson, Berbatov, Park, Scholes.
Even though I feel like screaming that Berbatov isn't starting.

I think Berb was getting some form, not a time to drop him.
Sometimes I don't understand why whenever we come up against a decent team, we have to accomadate our way of playing to nulify the opposition, only to go back to 442 at half time. I think it's a bad timing to drop Berba after the display he showed last week and the partnership he's begining to form with Rooney, not to mention we're at home.
any idea how long it will take for him to return after the injury
rio should be back after the internationals , but i hope evans returns soon .

Exactly, and I was loving our 4-4-2.
Not happy with Berbatov being dropped. Hopefully I'm proved wrong.
Wouldnt be that bad of a sub to use then... I like this team, Giggs will add creativity to the midfield which is something i think we have been lacking in the last few weeks
Puzzling but obviously it is a tactical move and nothing to do with his form
I just hope that Giggs, Nani and Valencia get close to Rooney. Nani and Giggs in particular.
its tactical .. 4-3-3 will be against arsenal -chelsea and in europe ..
fletch-out of form carrick against a 3 man midfield .. fergie doesnt want to risk it
giggs has played as a second striker before .. in possession , it might turn 4-4-2-ish

Going 443, shows we are not Confident
So Berbatov struggles for form and once he's finding some, he's dropped? Riiiiiight. With Arsenal being such a possession side, we should have Berbatov playing as he's one of the best at keeping possesion. I'm shocked that Carrick is playing, considering just how dire he has been.
Very defensive from Arsenal.
Playing for a point?

Seems like Asnl have gone for a 442, i say that because the only offensive player i see in that midfield is Eboue - i suppose he could play on the right in a 433
Song, Diaby, Denilson, Eboue.
Doesn't strike fear on paper.

Check your math.
Their passing game should though.
And why the feck is that. 4-4-2 for fecks sake. 76000 get behind us lets fecking entertain. Home or away stop this fecking "Don´t let the opp play SHIT". We are good enough to dominate any team especially at OT. fecking devastated by this defensive tactics but he will most certainly prove me wrong old bluenose. You know best Sir now lets get at the bastards
Very happy with the line-up, fantastic to see Nani, Valencia and Rooney upfront. We should be able to dominate midfield, that's where the battle will be won. Come on United!
arshavin and rvp vs brown and vidic then? if its a 442
Rooney up top on his own?
Hmmm!

Because we did it in the last 2 to 3 years against the top teams. You can be glad we have 2 attacking wingers on the pitch with Nani and Valencia. He could have chosen Park to track back alot.
Poor old Fletch in for a hard slog yet again, thought Anderson would be in there to help him out.
5 man midfield to bully the goons, i don't really have a problem with it.
Who's on our bench?
No Berba or Owen, that's unexpected.
Would have loved to see Berbatov & Rooney up top, especially at home.
poopoo 3-2 bolton
gerrard

hmmmm wonder what fergie is playing at.....but I trust him implicitly...
Fergie doesn't seem to trust Berba in big games since last season.
What a shite lineup
We could have gone 4-4-2 and really taken it to them, but instead we've gone defensive AT HOME. Rooney up top on his own, both other strikers on the bench.
Gutted.

Come on now we all were saying that when Carrick was dropped for the Chelsea game and look what happened... Lets not forget when we play 433 against Asnl we have had some great success in the past
is good to see fans changing their tunes and actually calling for Berba to start....am shocked he isnt, but in SAF we trust...kerm onnnn
To be fair Carrick is shit in the big games.
Agreed. Think Arsenal's recent results coupled with our defensive injuries have put a bit of fear in to us judging by this line up. Disappointing to see really, but it will be good to see Giggs operate in the middle against that inexperienced looking Arsenal midfield.
yessss Barnet injury time winner vs Notts County, kerm onnn Barnetttt woohoooo
