European Champions League Quarter Final, 2nd Leg.
Old Trafford
KO - 19:45



Granted it's early, but it takes your mind off of the last 90 mins for a bit. Let's look forward eh. :)
 
We're not going through if Giggs continues playing like shite.
 
Hopefully Saha's abence today was precautionary, though a risk if he were to start, it'd quite the boost the team i think.

Bring something to the forward line and our attacking play that we've been lacking.
 
It be nervy and nail-biting stuff, we have to score and can't afford to concede an away goal.
 
Ok well we're down to the bare bones with Park out and Saha to start on the bench at best so....

GK: VDS

RB: O'Shea
CB: Ferdinand
CB: Brown
LB: Heinze

RM: Fletcher
CM: Carrick
CM: Giggs
LM: Ronaldo

CF: Rooney
CF: Solskjaer (although personally id go with Smith)

After the first leg i was sure we'd go through but after the pompy game im not so sure 1-1 :(

Agree with that lineup completely, including the Smith part. Would be nice to save Ole for the last 20 minutes if we need that extra push that I doubt Saha can provide.

I'm dreading seeing the gaffer pointing to his watch and pacing nervously. :nervous: :(

As do i, his class will show through, it's just a weird phase [that has hopefully now run its course].

To the game and how we may line up, there's a chance Sir Alex might opt for 4-3-3 with the players available.

The atmosphere on Tuesday night is going to be akin to the Celtic game i reckon.

I hope so, the lads need a lift after the last two games. I never really expected to get to the final this year, but looking at the quality of the teams left in it i feel we really have an excellent chance this year, with a bit of luck of course.
 
In their Serie A game last night, they rest almost all of their key players as Totti, Chivu, De Rossi and others. It will be a tough game at Old Trafford, I predict 1-0 for us, Rooney.
 
Faith in Giggs? The man who got tired fifteen minutes after he came on today?

We better score early and often on Tuesday, because I am afraid he will be very tired come the second half. :(
 
1-0 is too risky, I be much happy if we score 3 or 4 to be certain.
 
---------VDS-----------
O'Shea-Rio--Wes---Evra
Ron-Fletch-Carrick-Giggs
------Saha-Rooney-----

Smith must play some minutes, Richardson should be put behind Roma goal to collect the balls from missed shots so he could for once do something good for the team
 
----------------VDS----------------
O'Shea-------Rio---Brown-------Heinze
Ronaldo----Fletcher--Carrick----Giggs
----------Rooney--------------------
-------------------Smith-------------

Subs: Kuszczak, Evra, Richardson, Eagles, Solksjaer, Saha, Dong

I'm optimistic and will go for a 3-1 win. We are playing at home afterall.
 
Hope for a great atmosphere at OT on tuesday and a win. Semifinal against Bayern/Milan would be two fantastic games.
if we lose, we can focus 100% on PL.
 
Couldn't get tickets through the ballot but I'm going to be in Manchester Tuesday, where is a good place to go have a few beers and watch the match?
 
2-0

im going to the game and hopefully i'll maintain my great record at OT :D

COME ON UTD!

we can do these fekkers - overrated cnuts that just about beat us with 10 men!

im expecting big games from roon and ron :devil:

carrick is vital to keep things ticking over!
 
I'll be gutted if we go out, but if we win the League, I will look back on it as a blessing.
 
3-1 United : Ronaldo, Rooney, Smith

3-1 United, Rooney, Solskjaer, Ronaldo - Mancini

Were not going out at this stage!
But we need to build on an early goal and have to score twice or even more!!
 
not confident after seeing the game at pompy. but were at home and with the croud on our side we may do something. i've always said if we keep a clean sheet we'll go through, if we don't we wont

if we score early it could get a bit tense as we most likely will fall back and try to protect the lead. Should be a great game and a win which sees us through to the next round will be the tonic we need to see us finish off the premiership season

Why no Richardson?
 
We need to play like we did against Bolton and in the second half against Blackburn, but play like we have done in other Euro Cup games this season (i.e. Lille at home) and we're screwed.
