Thats not quite the team we were expecting but still good. The bench will give us more options for change.
Giggs instead of Carrick, scholes or anderson ? wtf !
giggs in the middle , evans starting , no rio ..
nooo
nooo
feck me
wtf no rio nor carrick????
Wtf is Goggs?
and No Rio?
and No Rio?
oh feck off. the game hasn't kicked off yet. The team is good enough to thrash them.
thats a rather brave prediction there
I know, I was thinking of putting O'shea there but VDS just shades it for his big game performances.
i better eat fish n chips now because we never lose when i eat it before our game
Mass suicides awaiting
Giggs
sorry but this is chelsea and we are playing with giggs in the middle, we are not gonna have control of the midfield now simple as, hopefully we play around it
Looks like a 4-3-3, then, with Park - Fletcher - Giggs in the middle. Fletcher will need to be immense today.
Oh, just realized Carrick is on the bench. No Rio is worrying though
Rooney will drop deep often then
Rooney will drop deep often then
Chelsea lineups?
Where's Rio
feck sake
no holding midfielder and no Rio

Giggs will have a good game.
neville at right back worries me, especially after the arsenal game
Giggs in the middle eh? Looks like a cunning plan from old man Ferguson, probably had this in mind for a couple of weeks and briefed him in advance. A player that can dribble in tight situations, a creative forward pass and actually very adept defensively. Genius.
No Ferdinand ._.
Honestly though, Carrick should start with Fletcher in the middle, the rest of the team is spot on if Ferdinand just wasn't worth the risk.
Hopefully Giggs can prove everyone wrong, but he tends to lose the ball in the middle quite a bit these days, if we do that against Chelsea we're asking for trouble.

4-3-3. Has to be. Park and Fletcher should be more than enough, although this does mean that Rooney and Ronaldo will have to track back with Chelsea's fullbacks.
He's not, he's on the bench.
didn't fergie said rio will be fit??? feck sakes
Looking forward to Goggs putting on a show. He may yet prove to be good for United.
No doubt SAF as gone with experience with Giggs and Neville.Lets see how it goes.
Oh for fecks sakes? What the feck happened to carrick?
Chelsea's midfielders will struggle to contain a midfielder who can dribble. Giggs will murder them with his technique.
Giggs starting and no Rio is awful for us.
Cech
Bosingwa
Carvalho
Terry
Cole

Lumpard
Mikel
Ballack
Deco
The Drog
Their defence is mean.

wtf, where is Carrick? That midfield doesn't fill me with confidence tbh. Fletcher needs to have a stormer today.
He is on the bench. If he is fit enough to be on the bench he should be fit enough to play?
Wierd this. Fergie said Rio was fit and will play, right?
I'm worried now. Giggs will gave our midfield a bit of experience I guess but I would have preferred Carrick or even Scholes.
I'm not confident at all now
Rafael isn't on the bench.
Is Ballack over Malouda a good thing for us? I assume they'll struggle for width. On the other hand Ballacks physical presence, and overally ability makes him more of a match winner.
stop the panic the lot of ye. game has'nt kicked off yet. giggs was great in the champions league final when he came on against chelsea. keep the faith. SAF knows what he's doing. and this is hardly the team chelsea have prepared for. come on united
