Manchester United vs Portsmouth

-------VDS-------
Brown-Rio-Vida-Evra
Fletch-Scholes-Carrick-Park
---Larsson----Saha

I'd give Ronaldo, Neville, Giggs and especially Rooney a rest. Other than that, I feel it's a strong enough team
 
---------------------Kuszczak---------------------
Brown ---- Ferdinand -------------- Vidic ------ Heinze -
- Park------ Fletcher ------------- Carrick ----- Evra
---------- Rooney --------------- Saha -------------

will do

I think you have a good team with Neville, Scholes, Giggs rested. We need those three in good form in the upcoming games and I would not be angry if they are rested against Watford as well.
Maybe I would have played Solskjaer with Saha, because if Rooney get's a card tonight he will miss the Tottenham game next week.

Park needs games, He played a lot in the christmas period and then got a rest last week aganst Arsenal. Fletcher and Carrick needs to play as well, Carrick missed a few games in the christmas period and Fletcher didn't play much.
Would be interesting to see Evra on the left, with Heinze getting a full 90 minutes at left back hopefully. Rio-Vidic should play, they need confident again.


Good team Epic.
 
Would be pretty sweet to see a Heinze and Evra combo on the left flank, I've always thought that had a bit of potential and of course it'll give Gabba some playing time.

2-0 to United, Saha and Fletch
 
Rooney needs to play he's got his first goal in a while and he needs to build on it. Saha and Larson up front for me
 
Heres hoping that we win! Im off now, got to beat the traffic and make it early, driving up from Milton Keynes which is miles and miles away! Ill take some pics though and post them later in celebration hopefully.
 
I can't see SAF risking Roon picking up a card & missing the Spurs game, it's too important. Giggs & New to get a rest too.

I was told Larsson wouldn't play! Feckin Aftonbladet.
 
It's problary Pedro Mendes, Taylor is on the left. I thought Kranjcar was injured though...

Yes I think you're right about Mendes.

About the positions: I just placed them as MUTV did :D
 
I hope we don't have to use our bench today.Apart from Rooney, it absolutely shocking.:rolleyes:
 
It's a pretty good line up, considering there's 4 key players missing from it

I'm only worried about the lack of pace in attack, and annoyed that Saha seems to have reverted back to his permanently injured state
 
Just Rooney, VDS and Ronaldo from our strongest lineup...and maybe Saha..

Because there's about 15 minutes until the game yet

Possibly
oh, ok, you are probably right cause the empty seats i see are the best ones

they belong to the rich cnuts that can afford to arrive seconds before the game starts

lucky bastards

I reckon SAF is saving him for the league and europe, he'll use Larsson as much as he can for the 10 weeks he's here.
You could be right

I wouldn't have thought he'd be too keen on using him and Ole as a pairing though. It just doesn't seem as good a mix, as opposed to having either Rooney or Saha in there.

But then, it's an FA cup game, and the team we've got out should be good enough to win the game. It's pretty strong considering
