Manchester United vs. Chelsea

I just had a 'Fernando Torres' night out. It was really expensive, had lots of shots, and didn't even manage to score



:smirk:
 
The beauty of this formation is that we could switch to 4-3-3 with Giggsy in the middle. In fact, I think we may start with that.

Edit: Just thought it may be Park left, Giggsy left, Park on a free in the middle, Giggsy in the middle...so many possibilities. Love it

Giggs kept leaving space on the left against Barca in the final with his runs to the center.
 
Well obviously. Anderson has been injured for a while. He hasn't really got any form to speak of.

I just would have thought Anderson would have been able to cover more positions if needed whereas Gibson is pretty much a central midfielder solely.

Which position? Midfield centre and left? I am not sure we can risk him at full back or DM in this game.

I've seen Gibson played at centre midfield and right side. So, not much difference there.
 
Starting to get the nervous farts now...


Still feeling nervous? Divert your thoughts to Milan Baros.

Well Anderson could play in front of the back four, central midfield, wide left of behind the striker. Gibson's been pretty poor any time he's played wide and against Cole I'd give him not very much of a chance.

It's not really a big deal as we have plenty of versatility I just wouldn't have made that call myself. I doubt Fergie fears for his job regardless.
 
So we'll be playing a 4-5-1 I assume with Rooney playing on the left or very deep. We will probably start 4-4-2 but Chelsea have nothing to lose really by going for it and we would so I guess we (unfortunately) will sit back making Rooney play out wide a lot

Next time, don't dress up as a girl. There's no need to carry the Torres thing to extremes.
 
Slightly nervous about tonight's line-up, would have preferred to see Valencia starting in place of Park, think he offers us much more on the counter attack.

Who will partner Carrick in midfield, Giggs or Park?

I am not convinced he can play there. He isnt that creative and I havent seen him trying many killer passes. And he cant shoot, sadly. We know Gibson can make the keeper works with his shots.
 
Anyone got a decent Sop Cast stream in English?

Or anyone got any English stream? PM me please. :D:D
 
Evra's tackle on Ramires is nearly an assault - Jamie Redknapp

:lol:

20 mins of Sky coverage has been all about Chelsea - I wonder if they remember Utd are playing in this game as well.
 
Come on lads, dont make me lose my finger nails again tonight.

Watch the Al Jazeera one. It's Lineker and Shearer - bigging up United and playing down Chelsea
 

I dont get the sentiment that just because Gibson hasnt played awful of late, that he has played well, he hasnt, somewhere in between is fair and certainly and improvement but he hasnt put one performances this year to challenge any of Anderson's better performances this season.

Also, lets not forget on Saturday who played the pass to open it up for the first goal, ie not Gibson

Take a conventional 4231 and tilt the AM trio around Rooney with Nani high and Park low.
 
We line up more or less as expected. Valencia's the only change and after Nani's majestic form this weekend, I guess thats fair enough. Also O'Shea playing behind him needs less protection than Rafael.
 
Hope Park plays left and helps Evra out. More so hope Evra plays the game of his life - biggest worry is down that right side for me.

Fair enough. But by looking at the other 2 midfield subs, i.e Scholesy and Valencia, I think we needed a DM there. To me, Anderson is more of an adventurous midfielder (more like AM). Gibson fits in there better than Anderson I think.
