Manchester United vs. LOSC
- Thread starter bbest
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I think he would start Giggs alongside Larsson if Wazza needed rest, and if Giggs was out, it would be Ronnie. Smith is like 8th choice.

That means we must be very optimistic about Wazza recovery.

He's fit for tomorrow.
The only question now about tomorrow's lineup, is who out of Park or O'Shea will play. It will either be Carrick-O'Shea in the middle or Carrick-Giggs, IMO.
Also, maybe there is a question of who will start at LB, but I would expect Heinze to play. Maybe Sly though? I guess there are two question marks about tomorrow.
rrarraroon said:
Yep, propably tommorow we will also receive answer about Saha's injury, too.
URGENT DONATION REQUIRED!!
I need to borrow a voice to take with me to the match tomorrow - mine's ****ed!

Just checked the odds on betfair and we are 1.06 to qualify tommorrow!!!
I've never seen the odds so low for only being 1-0 up.

Puel looks like he's holding a revolver.
Damn you Lille! Damn you with your two railway stations, your major river port, your large student population and your fine arts museum!
Sure, you gave the world Charles De Gaulle and the poet Albert Samain, but does it really compare with Manchester, birthplace of Shaun Ryder and Take That?
Tonight you will be beaten down like its the War of Spanish Succession all over again!

Scout Report
Eric Harrison has noted Lille are a bunch of whining cnuts, he suggest we finish them off early to put an end to their ridiculous hopes. Tackle them hard, as they will get angered and more importantly card-receiving. He has also acknowledged you about their pacy striker Odemwingie, it's suggested you put him to sleep by placing a man-marker on him, namely Nemanja Vidic. Their key-man is obviously the workhouse Jean II Makoun, but he should be erased by the football-braining of the master of disaster, Scholes.
Little worried about our form.If we play the way we have been doing for the past few games we'll get beat.Need to rediscover our early form.

Hope we can start play better football and finnish off this game before the end.
I´m a bit nervous as I can see this really kick off into something ugly. Those frogeating bastards are famous for their elbowing and play acting, I can really see Nev and rooney reacting to some crap only to get redcarded as a reward...
Jacob said:
I'm glad the arrows were include so Ronaldo and Giggsy will know which way to attack.
1 thing i have started wondering as we approach this game is what with Rooney and Ronaldo never seemingly scoring in this competition and Saha and possibly Scholes out through injury - where will the goals come from?

That's where you've got it wrong. In the last 3 away games, especially with the physically competitive side of Lille, Reading & Fulham, we were not going full blooded in the challenges and the 50-50 balls. It was as if, Fergie had said - "Ok, these guys are very good physically - we'll give them that. Let's focus on putting them off and getting to the second balls, instead of competing directly and physically. In any case, we can avoid injuries from these challenges (And if we can avoid injuries, we can still have a good chance in the game and in the title run-in)."
When they had the ball - we weren't pressing them - we just made sure we get organised to defend and deny them space to play. When they play the long balls, we just dropped to defend deeper and relied on the swift counter-attack.
Red17 said:
What makes you think we'll play the same way at home?
Jacob said:
In the "quick pressing" aspect - Lille are still as strong physically as they were 2 weeks ago and still hold this advantage over us. Nothing has changed in this dept for us over 2 weeks and we carry the bigger risk here in coming off second best (injuries is the biggest risk to our title run-in).
We won't play the same game at home as compared to 2 weeks ago at Lens. Other aspects will change. I expect we will be moving the ball about faster and more coordinated with more players joining the attack quickly, esp. the CMs, instead of relying on the front 2 to breakaway quickly. The 2 fullbacks will press forward faster and importantly one of the 2 CMs will join the attack faster than it was in Lens. During the away game, both Carrick AND Scholes sat in front of the 2 CBs for the majority of the time, and was very cautious about venturing forward.
I hope Gabby plays, these fecks need to be treated to some good ol' Argie elbow magic. That throat punch on Ronaldo was grounds for banning IMO.
I can't believe we still live in the stone age of "if the ref didn't see it, it's all good."

Larsson
I do worry that with Lille's pace with Keita and Odemwingie that we could be exposed along the left side. Vidic definetly has to pick his form up. The defense has generally been keeping clean sheets but making errors nonetheless.
Midfield is as we would expect - at OT Lille will sit deep and so it is up to us to take the game to them.
Larsson to hopefully give us a show on his last game.
I expect this to be the game that United finally really come good in Europe with Rooney and Ronaldo on song.

Lets hammer the fecking twats.

We have to end this dispute with Lille, once and for all. Lets hope Rooney and Ronaldo both get their champions league spark to fire us to the next round.
A couple of early goals to settle the nerves will be welcome...
I'm very very nervous about the next few games
