Portsmouth v Manchester United

Hmm, we always struggle against Pompey, expect a quiet first half, but coming back in the second for a 4-1 win. Expect a hat trick today from someone as well, Rooneys due some goals.
 
We will still win 5-0 with a strong show in the second half

Evra will be mom
 
I just played the fixture on FIFA with the same line-up, your not going to believe what happened.

Portsmouth 2 - 1 United

------------------ Rooney 27
Brown OG 76
Brown OG 89

I literally burst out laughing because of the ongoing joke on here :lol:
 
how is ober not even on the bench, not a fan of the line-up in all honesty

I hate, absolutely hate, to join the ranks of the "I think SAF has got it wrong" brigade.....

But I just can't help it, I'm sure I'll be proved wrong and all that, but if Owen and Berbatov are fit enough to play why start with 1 up front against Pompey?

Plus, as someone said, this is the kind of line-up for a top-4 clash where we need to control midfield. But here I'd expect Pompey to play deep, get men behind the ball and make life difficult for us, giving us as much of the ball as we want as long as it's 45 yards from their goal...

Like I say, I'm sure I'm totally wrong, and I hate to join the ranks of idiots criticising every XI that SAF puts out, but I'm not overjoyed by this line-up

ongoing? what did I miss?
 
I'm not a fan of the 4-5-1 either but today it's entirely understandable.
Owen has been a bit rubbish recently, Berbatov is probably not fully fit, and Welbeck and Macheda have just played a full 90 minutes in the first team on Wednesday.

A lot of the time when predicting scores someone will go

United 0 - 1 Other team

Brown OG 89'

i dont think he has got it wrong per se, i just think that we should look to attack these more, that team i am certain is capable of winning however we should do so with more style than would be expected of the team we are playing
 
I'm so mad I was conned into clicking that inviting link of online streams :mad:

Not happy with that lineup, but should still be enough.
 
We will win, although i am no means a fan of rooney up front alone, clearly does better with another striker alongside him to aim at and create space for him. A lot will depend on the wingers and runs from the middle supporting him.
 
There is smoe bird watching/shooting crap on my stream at the minute - switch over to build up already
 
I'd be horrified if a veetle stream found its way into my inbox.
 
Maybe Fergie picked that line up because he knows we're not playing Portsmouth today...we're going to be playing Brazil if you take into account the game raising syndrome
 
The team and formation can always work for us. If the players perform then there will be no question about the selection. Ive got faith in the squad here today and so should you.

Cmon Utd!

Lovin the Pirates of the Caribbean entrance music.
 
Can we not just play Berbatov?

He's been our best attacking player this season by some way, apart from when Rooney has been on song.

Bizarre stuff
 
Panic over, I replayed the game. This time we won 3 - 0, Rooney, Vidic, and Nani off the bench.

It's in the bag.
