Manchester United vs. Newcastle United

Gotta watch out for our former players trying to relive their glory days at Old Trafford. Although Newcastle are in bad form they have shown that they can become game raising cnuts against us.
 
are barton and butt eligible ?

hope we dont take this lightly
 
Missing Martins and Geremi is going to hurt them even more with the bad form they're in
 
Its silly to rest Ronaldo the form he is in, no chance of that happening.
 
4-0 - they have some of the worst defenders in the league. After seeing what Pompey did to them stretching them all over the shop with pace and power, I think we'll absolutely hammer them.
 
Brown suspended, O'Shea will play RB. We should play our strongest 11, Anderson-Hargreaves in central midfield.

Wouldn't mind seeing that lineup out there
 
Our strongest central midfield right now (with Scholesy out) is Anderson + Hargreaves. I was not impressed with Carricks shenanigans against Villa.
 
will be at this one

come on United

Brown is suspended however, but other than that the first XI pretty much picks itself - I doubt Fergie will take this lightly especially after WH away. Expect the strongest side and that includes Ronaldo. Id drop Saha and Carrick to the bench. O'Shea will probs come in at RB in place of Wes.
 
The Newcastle midfield is poor. The defence does not inspire confidence.

I'd be gutted if we dropped points in this one.
 
Expect Newcastle to raise their game and play better than they've played in their last 10 matches combined.

Also, expect an unknown young Newcastle player to score.

United 2-1 Newcastle

6' Troisi
34' Rooney
76' Ronaldo

Not a good idea. We will lose 3-0 if Brown plays(he's suspended, 5 yellow cards).
 
Hmmm..Newcastle are on a bit of shit run, but did pick their game about against the rentboys and Arse.

VDS
Brown
Rio
Vida
Evra
Ronaldo
Anderson
Hargreaves
Park
Tevez
Rooney

Should do them, 4-0.

Tevez x2, Rooney, Ronaldo

Anderson to hit the post
 
We havent heard anything about Tevez so i assume we'll play Saha upfront with Rooney. If Brown is suspended then Oshea will play.
 
Some early team news

Ins and outs: Wayne Rooney should start his first match since Boxing Day after a match-winning cameo at Villa Park, while strike partner Carlos Tevez could return after suffering a bruised ankle against Birmingham. Wes Brown is suspended for United, while Newcastle will be without Peter Ramage through injury. Also missing for the Magpies are Geremi, Habib Beye, Abdoulaye Faye and possibly Obafemi Martins, at the African Cup of Nations

News about Tevez makes me condident about this game.
 
Can't really see Neville playing in the first-team yet.

O'Shea to the rescue. :nervous:
