Manchester United vs. Beşiktaş JK

Glad Neville makes it which gives Evra a rest. This game was perfect for Nani to have an unconditional 90 minutes.

My feeling also. If Nani isn't even on the bench (unless injured). I think SAF might have decided already to part ways with him.

EDIT: He's on the bench, God knows whether that's good or bad news.

Hopefully he'll get a game against Portsmouth. Should have a licence to attack against them.
 
i really wanted to see ando-gibson in the middle. .
decent enough team . besiktas arent that poor tho .. hope the youngsters take it seriously

edit: by seriously i mean hope they dont get complacent

cska winning atm .. a win for us wins us the group .. all reserve team for germany if it happens ..
 
Delighted to see Welbeck paired up front with Kiko, instead of being pushed wide. Also looking forward to seeing Obertan start, and seeing how the Anderson/Gibson combination works in the middle.
 
lineup is up on uefa lads.

foster
rafael
brown
vidic
gaz
park
ando
gibbo
obertan
kiko
welbeck

'Kin hell.

I got the following PM from someone called 'Erentz' at 6.45pm yesterday!

Besiktas starting line up.
There's a lad on RedIssue who gets the team news from a player early, and he posted the team today at about 11:30am. He said that it would be.

................Foster..............

Neville...Brown..Vidic...Rafael

Nani...Gibson...Ando...Obertan

........Welbeck...Macheda.......

He said because he posted it early the only possible change would be Park for Nani, which sounds about right with what Ben Hibbs has said

Bah, he got that all wrong, Besiktas' lineup is nothing like that.
 
hope our defence defend better that we did against cska last time out....
 
rafael might as well put on fabio' shirt ... then atleast on paper noone will be playing out of position
 
I wonder will we play this sort of line-up against wolfsburg in the last game, cska might not be happy though....

Worked pretty dam well against Everton last year.
 
Not happy with that lineup at all. Besiktas are not as much of a walk over as that team would have you believe. I'm all for giving youngsters a chance but a win tonight makes us winners of the group. Big big gamble from fergie IMO.
 
I assume Rafael is playing left-back?

Good line-up regardless. Good to see Park back, and it's definitely interesting to see how Danny and Kiko fare up front.

We just need a draw now but i am fairly confident we will win by a decent margin tbh.

We got a very strong bench. If we don't give youths a chance now, what's gonna be a better occasion?
 
Looking forward to seeing Nani on the right, especially with two strikers over six foot. Get those crosses in.

Nani isn't starting.

I always thought Macheda was taller than Welbeck but i knew Beck was around 6 foot but it came as a bit of a surprise when i saw that he was 2cm taller than Macheda.
 
Very inexperienced front six barring Park, will be interesting.

A gamble I am happy he has the guts to make. It`s about keeping the squad fresh and happy, we will probably see the rewards later in the season.
