Give the team time to start the game FFS
I like Nani, Berba, Rooney as a front three, if it works tonight then we might just have found a way of playing Berba in the biggest games, here's hoping.
I think Rooney on the wing is fine. He will work hard .
Tonight will be a very tough game. And will be close. I am not expecting an exciting match, but a solid performance with one or two chances for us. Take one of them and I will be delighted

Don't like the line-up at all, hope it's not 442 with Fletcher on the right as then it would be bad.
No Scholes
Bench with the Da Silvas, Brown, Kuszczak and Chicharito.
Those of you who don't want Gibson - who do you want to play there ?
Hargreaves, Park, Giggs and Anderson are all out injured - Scholes isn't quick enough in away games. If we play 4-3-3 - Gibson is the obvious choice

Apparently not, you'd think all that success, experience and those trophies might have taught him by now that knee-jerk fans' opinions should be treated more seriously
We could win 5-0 and Gibson would still be slated
But that doesnt change that he goes missing quite often. Hopefully not tonight

I know, I mean't I was surprised he hasn't started ahead of Gibson.
I hope the fecking thing is in bits.
You have the strength of a warrior, Sir.
Fergie said Marseille were a physical team, he must have figured Rafael might get injured and Scholes might get sent off.
When has it worked this season? It hasn't.
That would be the most stupid reason not to play Scholes.
Shame you didn't throw your head against the wall.
It might have knocked some sense in.
I´m not Gibbo´s biggest fan but tonight I have a feeling he will surprise us with an excellent performance.
"We could win 100-0 and it still was the wrong selection."
An legend/idiot did say that somewhere sometime on this forum.
I'm not arguing that Gibson is a great player, I'm pointing out that he needs game time to improve, and apparently Fergie thinks he's worth giving game time to. As we're top of the table, and still in the FA Cup and Champions' League I'd say we've not gone too far wrong so far this season.
I'm also suggesting SAF might know better than us on occasions such as this - what with seeing players in training, it being his job, and his being SAF and all.
Or a paper thin wall ... or some quantum tunnelling effect has happened
Ahhh the infamous Scholesy
I agree. There is a lot that goes on behind closed doors that we don't see. I just hope this gives him the confidence to push on.
I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.
Our midfield really needs to step it up tonight or we could be in trouble.
Scholes has one of the best, if not the best passing efficiency in the world under pressure or otherwise., so I don't see him holding onto the ball enough to be bullied. I can only guess Fergie needs a few ball winners, particularly in the deep role and perhaps some legs.
Cmon Gibbo. Show everyone what you got. Let's do this.
Would obviously prefer Scholes in midfield than Gibson, but that's a given. Hopefully Gibson can have a good game and turn the doubters (well, for atleast 3 days anyway). C'mon UNITED!! Can't fecking wait for this game!
Glad to see Scholes rested for the the upcoming trips to Wigan and Chelsea.
Come on, United!
Come on, United!
this is a big game for Gibson - lets hope he doesnt let us down
Come on Gibbo
Come on Gibbo
It's 3-5-2, with O'Shea at centreback and Evra leftwing .... sssssh!
But Gibson doesn't provide that either. He doesn't work hard enough when we don't have the ball and he's an absolute plodder when he does have it.
Well said, Gibson needs a good game tonight. Still won't make a difference to some people on here
Gibson is surely Fergie's secret son, not Fletcher!
Or maybe both!

Yeah, if Giggs wasn't injured Scholes would probably not need to be bubble-wrapped so much.
He didn't again Bayern, when we played a similar formation, and midfield combination... Carrick and Fletch doing all the grunt work, with Gibbo in advanced positions
and we looked to have secured a CL semifinal spot, until Rafael got suckered into a red card
So I'm expecting similar results(without the disastrous ending)...Marseille won't know what hit 'em
I can sense a 3-4 shots from him in the match at least.
can we please let Gibson play before judging his performance
Hope Marseille warned the fans...
I think this will be a big test for Gibson and our creativity without Anderson or Scholesy.
I remember time when Carrick-Fletcher were on top of their game. Hope we get flashes of that today.

Carrick will play the deep role that Scholes normally does, Gibson will be more advanced.
