PL: Manchester United Vs Arsenal

We played extremely well during the last 30 mins at bolton, after ruud came on.

I think the formation was:
----------------VDS------------------
Gaz-----Rio-----Vidic------Silvestre
Ronaldo--Oshea--Giggs--Rooney
--------------Ruud-----Saha-------------

I reckon if fergie wasnt to play all out attack like we've been doing lately, this is how he'd do it. But IMHO, i dont recomend this against arsenal, they can be very lethal on the counter, and even though our defence has been great recently, the likes of henry, adebayor, fabregas and van persie etc. have enough quality to exploit our weaknesses.
This is a must win game.

GO UNITED!
 
It's probably going to be a 1-0 with ruud scored at the 80th minute
 
Fletcher has to play or we'll probably get over-run in midfield. Arsenal love teams to come onto them and excel on the break. Fact is we know we have the legs on them having had a week off while they have a draining and match in the ECL. We have held Arsenal for the last three seasons by spoiling tactics. We have basically admitted they are way better than us, which is true.

We are better than that... or at least we should be.
 
"2-0 and all over, certainly tonight; maybe the championship"
 
This is a true test for our current midfield. Arsenal's speed in the middle is awesome, and we'll need some crunching tackles to slow them down.

Our defense has to be ready for their counter attack.

That formation wouldn't be good against Arsenal because they are so good on the counter. I say we put Rooney and Ruud up front and put Richardson on the left wing. Richardson will drop back and make the formation more defensive. I'm not saying we have to play more defensive, I'm just saying we could be prone to a counter attack if we have too many offensive minded players on the pitch.
 
yes good point - although i think our attacking force can cut through there apparant strong defence, ronaldo vs flamini will be a good battle, which i think ronaldo will win, thats the weak zone for them, if we exploit this and sahas arial ability we can do well

No, that would too much for my nerves...

I know, but those wins always feel the best especially after what happened two years ago.
 
----------------Van Der Sar-----------------

--Gary------Rio-------Brown-------Tweety--

--Rooney----O Shea----Giggs------Ronaldo--

--------------Ruud------Saha--------------

Should be a nerve-wrecking cracker with at least 2 red cards
Prediction:3-1: Giggs, Ruud, Saha & Brown(og 89th min)
 
So what do you think, was it a good for us that Arsenal went through? I think so, hopefully they will still be satisfied. And we will be more hungry...
 
It`s funny, the media in general and certain pundits in particular have been saying for a year or so that Chelsea and Liverpool are the new powers of the Premiership....the new United and Arsenal if you will....

And yet here we have, on sunday probably the most anticipated game of the season so far, between if not the two best sides in the country, certainly the two in the best form and more importantly the two who are the most entertaining to watch.
 
I'm worry on Ronaldo if he get easily offended by Arsenal players and got booked by the referee for unnecessary things. Hope he can calm down himself.

He would have learnt his lesson against City
 
We're fitter, fresher and our EPL form is better than Arsenals. Hopefully they're still exhausted from last wednesday.

United to win 2-1
 
wenger says he's gone revert to playing 4-4-2 against us cuz he wants to attack more. so it looks like it'll be van persie and henry ahead. in attack think our best chance will be ronaldo since he's gonna be marked by flamini. a couple of step overs and the fool will stumble on his own foot.

It'll be a bit hard for Ruud to score 6 if he doesnt start, which I expect he won't.
 
Ronaldo, Rooney, and Ruud will destroy their defence. We know what to expect and we are fully up to the challenge. This isn't over two legs and both teams are looking for a win. Our defense is too much for Henry.
 
Graham Poll is a late replacement for Phil Dowd. :mad: :mad: :mad:
 
The FA said that Poll is Englands best ref so therefore he got the game. :lol: :wenger:
