Heinze

Solskjaer
Carrick
Scholes
Ronaldo

Giggs
Rooney

Subs: Kuszczak, Fletcher, Eagles, Richardson, Dong, Smith, Saha.


Solskjaer on the right? Interesting.. Saha will feature in the second half then.
 
We can't play 4-5-1 tonight, we have no players to stick in that formation, 4-4-2 seems inevitable to me.

With Park we would stick Giggs in the middle, now that Park's injured Giggs has to play on the left, with Carrick and Scholes in the middle as we don't have anyone who could possibly accompany them.

Park's injury might turn out to be some sort of blessing in disguise.
 
I started supporting United in June of 99.

No, kiddin'. But you can't compare the pace of Beckham then, with the pace of Ole now. You can't compare their crossing either. Solskjaer is a terrific finisher, which is going to waste on the flank. Why not push Ole up and Giggs down.

I don`t think he will be playing as wide winger. These before match line ups are often a bit wrong. Players often don`t play in just one position for the entire match. Ole is good at one thing, finishing, so Fergie will probably want him in the box. Ronaldo and Giggs will take care of the wings.
 
Giggs won't be in the middle, mark my words.

It's 4-4-2.

Ole was our starting RW until he got seriously injured, he got us plenty of goals and assists and managed to keep Beckham on the bench his last season as a United player.
 
O'Shea won't be in the centre of defence either, MThomas you fecked it up.

It won't be like that, I'm sure about that, it will be 4-4-2.

That was prior to his injury and when he had enough pace to go past players. These days he depends on reading the game well enough to get the advantage over his opponent.

Solskjaer will play up front as a striker

Brilliant Richter, just brilliant.

I'm off to wank off some excitement. I'm so fecking elated atm, it's unbearable.

Come on 20LEGEND!
 
bullshit put rooney behind ole in a 4-4-2

Agree, but unfortunately I can't see it happening.
We'll play 4-5-1, with Ole, Ronaldo and Rooney swapping positions
 
It's 4-4-2, confirmed by uefa.com
 
alright boys and girls, i'm off to watch st mirren v Hibs in the SPL
gonna be a cracker :cool:
 
Isnt it obvious that Rooney will be on one on the sides, Solskjaer as the lone striker and Giggsy as the attacking midfielder just behind Ole ?


No, it isn't - and isn't that part of it's beauty! That it can be interchangeable between the front 4.

:devil: :devil:

While we may debate how the front 4 will line up - One thing that will be 100% certain is that Rio will start and stay on the right side of the 2 CBs!
 
There`s more to football than just pace. He probably won`t stay out wide all the time either. Giggs,Ronaldo and him will be mixing it up. I like the line-up, ìt`s an attacking team we put out there tonight. The bench is thin though.

Precisely plus Ole has a knack of being the right place at the right time. No matter what anyone says i think not having Park in the squad, is a bit of a blow. He would have been perfect for this game imo. But we'll manage

0-1 United
 
yes allthough uefa.com has Oshea at Centre Back and Brown at Right Back

Roma subs
Curci, Faty, Defendi, Ferrari, Vucinic, Rosi, Okaka Chuka :lol:
 
Come on United

Maybe Brown will be in Sheasy's spot? I don't know, but you can bet we are not playing 442.
