5:0 Tevez hat-trick, Pique and Eagles
Jacob was waiting for this moment to start his thread his whole night
I think the team will be..
.................Kuszczak...............
Bardsley - Evans - Pique - Simpson
Eagles - O'Shea - Anderson - Nani/Martin
...........Dong - Campbell..............
If Hargreaves is fit he will start alongside Anderson.... O'Shea left back, Simpson right back.
Bench: Heaton, Lee, Saha, Tevez/Rooney, Martin/Nani.

if its that kind of team then we'll win, but if he's putting more youngsters in then we'll lose
Jacob:
Gibson is injured.
Gibson is injured.
How about Ritchie then?
Fergie said Hargo' would be fit for Coventry... doubt he'd be risked in a meaningless game like this, perhaps an extra few days training would be better for him!?
Anderson, Nani, Eagles and Pique will get important chances to show their abilities.
Rio looked slightly injured against Chelsea, so he must get some rest. Pique will do fine.

Perhaps you're right, but Owen played not many games in United, so this could be a good chance for him to learn about the style of the team and develop his own abilities into United's football.
45-60 minutes should be a safe time for him to not get injured, again.
Feel sad about Gibson.
He needed these games.
He needed these games.
On loan at Yeovil? I think

Fletcher is injured.
I'd like to see Saha on for at least 45 minutes and Anderson playing in his preferred position, whatever that is.
im hoping for:
------------PIG
---Wes-Vidic-Pique-Simpson
Eagles-Hargreaves-Anderson-Lee
-------Rooney-Saha-----
we will win 2-0

Sir Alex might field out the reserves or youngsters, but I think the following players will be given some vital playing time:
-Saha
-Anderson
-Hargreaves
-Neville
-Saha
-Anderson
-Hargreaves
-Neville
Does anybody know if there is a TV channel showing the game?
My team:
.................Kuszczak...............
Neville - Evans - Pique - O'Shea
Eagles - Hargreaves - Anderson - Nani
.............Tevez - Saha..............
Bench - Heaton, Simpson, Lee, Martin, Rooney
Obviously that's all wishful thinking and dependent on injuries/fitness.

Not in England but seen as your location is in Switzerland that's pretty useless info for you...
Does anybody know if Viasat are showing the game in Scandinavia??
Nope they are showing Chelsea-Hull and hockey.
Should this get posted in the 'reserves' forum as well?
Still looking forward to seeing some of the young guys in action (the main recompense for the round trip, ticket, plus expenses.)

Give Tevez a run to boost his confidence further with a goal or two
thanks. I forgot about that.
Its stupid to put first team players for this game unless they are returning to play and getting fitness like Hargreaves.
This is a chance for the lads like Pique and Evans, Martin, Eagles and company to show themselves and let the first team players rest and avoid injuries, remember next week we have Roma on Tuesday, 3 days after playing at Birmingham.
It's not useless really, here they don't show any foreign football apart from the Champions' League, so if it's broadcasted in the UK I can often find streams. Thanks anyway.
Saha, Anderson, Pique and Evans should all start.
It will be nice for Anderson to play. He wasn't selected in the last matches so I guess he is not match fit yet.
is the Carling cup one of United's priorities. I believe the pecking order in the sense of trophies to be won this season is:
1) League
2) Champions League
3) FA Cup
4) Carling Cup
I think Sir Alex will opt to use the lesser players in this competition and see how far they can go. I don't think that he will risk playing the big guns since our mission now is catching Arsenal and we can't afford to loose ground in that.
