Manchester United vs Chelsea

It's vs.

Vds

Neville
Rio
Vidic
Evra :cool:

Ronaldo
Fletcher
Carrick
Park

Rooney
Berbatov

Let's do them, 2-1 for us hopefully with a Berba brace.

That surely will be our team. We'll see about the result though :nervous:
 
I expect Chelsea to play their old 433 system with Drogba, Cole and Malouda up top, Deco lampard and Mikel behind. This means that once again Boswinga and Cashley will be told to bomb forward on the wings.

We need to find our fluid attacking movement again, stick Ronaldo on the left and give him a free role, Carrick and Fletch in midfield will give us creativvity and a solid defensive platform. Park will work his ass of once more and track cashley back all day, but his intelligent runs that he makes will also make space for the likes of Rooney and Berba.

However, if things aren't going well I expect to see this line up finish the game

Can't see beyond this line-up to be honest. Delighted to see Evra back, we really missed him. I am a little worried about Rio tho - is he 100% ? Nobody seems to know.

Anyway I'm going for 2-0 - Berbatov to have a stunner of a game....

If Park plays, I guess he'll be part of a midfield 3 instead of a winger. We will get overrun in midfield playing 4-4-2. Hargreaves would be ideal for this match as he can switch between playing central and as a winger (like he did in Moscow) I guess Park or Anderson are the two best suited players for a role like that on Sunday.

ronaldo scholes carrick anderson

berbatov rooney​



Looking at that team gives me a fuzzy feeling, it just looks so right!

Although park will play over anderson. i dont really want to see carrick with fletcher in the middle as we are less creative. he may even go for fletcher on the right with ronnie on the left just a thought.

---Neville-Rio-Vidic-Evra---

2-0 Berbatov and Fletcher to score!
 
Personally I think Berbatov should get the drop in this one, and be a sub at 60 minutes for Tevez reckon that will bring the best out of him and the best out of United
 
Manchester United have been boosted by the news that their star centre-back, Rio Ferdinand, could be available to face Chelsea on Sunday.

The 30-year-old hasn't played in the Premier League since the December 13 clash with Tottenham Hotspur, as he has been laid up with a back problem.

It was thought he'd remain sidelined for a few weeks yet, but The Sun and The Daily Mail both report that Ferdinand has returned to training and is a real chance to make the starting line-up against the Pensioners.

That is great news for Sir Alex Ferguson's side, who currently sit four points shy of Chelsea in the standings, and seven behind leaders Liverpool.

United will also welcome back Patrice Evra, after the completion of a four-match ban for his involvement in a post-game brawl at Stamford Bridge last season.

It's nice to see everyone going for Park. I think he can deliver a good performance against them too.

should be a 1-0 for us
 
Is actually Da Laet available for this one?

Chances he plays

1 in 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Why?

What's the point in asking this?

It's not as if he'd be picked anyway, no game time for Stoke, young, not blended with our lads yet.

fecking hate signing new players then every fecking idiot wants them selected a couple days later thinking the new guy is actually going to get in the squad ahead of our current crop? :wenger:
 
these days all my pronostics are false... i am sensing a tough and tricky match...

so we should win it comfortably...

Subs: Kuszczak, O'Shea, Evans, Giggs, Anderson, Fletcher, Scholes

Its time we stood up be counted, i am sick of these 1-0 scorelines, we are better than that so i'm going for a 3-0 win.

Rooney (2) and Tevez, all set up by Berbs.
 
Rio and Evra are back We have a clean sheet.

Question shall our forwards rise to the occasion? If so then we shall win

CSKA London are really not in their fluid form we can hit them bad in the counter and as i have noticed in their past few games Mikel has been caught sleeping or out of position in the past few games.
I am sure we shall boss the middle of the park.
I predict 1-0
 
Weirdly...I think in an attacking sense, the reason we have looked out of sorts recently is because Evra has been missing...
Hopefully with him back in the team we can grab a goal or two...the boys like Jesus.

I can say, with 100% confidence, that he won't play 3 up front. You can expect Scholes or Anderson in there too...
 
I'd love to be there to take part in the 70,000 strong corus of viva John Terry
 
Best Home Record vs Best Away record.

I would give absolutely anything to see either Rooney or Tevez score a late winner. Why ? Because they both go absolutely mental celebrating late goals.:devil: That said, I'd take any win over the renties. This game is going to shape our season. C'mon you Reds !!
 
I think we're the favourites because we're at home and Chelsea have looked dodgy recently. Bookies agree.

1-0 Berbatov

Can't wait for this one.

With anderson tucking in when we lose posession and obviously evra raping all over the left side.

We dont cross the ball anymore so why bother with the wingers being wingers? Anderson is better as a left attacking forward, ronaldo the same. He is wasted on the wing.

Fletch to come on if we look like getting over-run in midfield, but i expect anderson to come back and make a 3 if required.

I'm loathe to include park because he doesnt offer much going forward, he makes good runs but is often wasteful in good positions.

Manchester United have confirmed that Rio Ferdinand will be in contention to face Chelsea on Sunday.

There had been fears that the England international would miss the crunch clash at old Trafford after suffering a recurrence of a back injury.

The commanding centre-half has been forced to sit out United's last four games as a result of the problem, unable to feature in Premier League, FA Cup and Carling Cup fixtures.

However, he does appear to have shaken off the problem and will be in Sir Alex Ferguson's plans for Sunday's encounter with Luiz Felipe Scolari's Blues.

"Rio's fit to play," said Ferguson.

"He's missed the last few games, and that's given us time to get things settled down.

"He's one of the best centre-backs in the world and he does make a difference because he's got the presence to play in these big games."

Ferdinand will form part of a virtually full strength United squad this weekend, with only long-term absentees Wes Brown and Owen Hargreaves still on the treatment table.

"We had 24 players training this morning (Friday)," added Ferguson.

"We've everyone fit for Sunday except Wes and Owen, which is a really good position to be in."

Great news.
 
Class that Rio is fit. Nice and fresh as well. We haven't shipped in something ridiculously good like over 11 hours of league football. Now I've said that, we most likely will! With Evra back aswell and Neville looking more like him old self, I feel confident that we can contain them.

Play Park left wing to neuter Bosingwa and I think that is a massive element of their attacking threat. Scholes, Carrick and Fletcher in midfield and Rooney and Ronnie flanking the Berbage! Job done!
