Reading vs Manchester United

Before Anderson arrived Carrick and Hargreaves were going to be our first choice pairing once Scholes retired.

I love seeing Anderson playing but Carrick and Hargreaves are a very good, balanced CM pairing.

Carrick and Hargreaves together worries me. If Reading get tight to them, then they'll struggle to make space for themselves and keep possession.

so carrick and hargreaves cannot play together then. :rolleyes:
 
In that case, Fletchinho will come on and do the job!

0-4 to us

Ronaldo x2, Rooney, Tevez
 
LOL @ the fat bloke on setanta about the first meeting and how well the closed down - the did sfa in the match and UNITED didn't have a full squad! in other words , lets build it up.

Reading are not good at that type of play. They usually allow a lot of space for opponents, and goals as well.

Carricka and Hargreaves could be effective against Reading - at least, they will protect back 4 very well for sure.
 
feckin shit... I dont like our central mid.

LOL!

Came to this thread expecting this.

1.) Carrick was better than Anderson last game. He is a brilliant passer, still ahead of Anderson in that respect imo.
2.) Reading are playing 3 men in the middle, Hargreaves will bring alot of energy and can win us possesion.
3.) Anderson could do with a rest, anyway.
4.) We have Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez all starting. I'm not worried about a lack of creativity in this one.

Neither of them is strong in making space for themselves in a tight midfield. If Reading drop off them and give them space than yes they'll be okay together.
If Reading keep it tight I think they'll lack creativity.

So we won the league last season by only playing against teams with loose midfields?
 
Are you wishing for scholes-anderson is it?

hehe exaclty. I love the reactions to my post *g*.
Oh and tbh, I think they can do their job. I just wanted to see anderson, cause I have him in my fantasy team.

OH and could someone pm me a sopcast stream please?
 
What's the difference between Kevin Keegan and a miner working in a mine in Africa?

Ones got the shittest job in the world, and the other has the chance at holding something shiny.
 
Its about time Hargo started contributing to our goal count.

It's about time people stopped saying that because it's making us all look wildly autistic.
