Is Ole playing a reserve match this week? I heard he might.

Giggs? Ronaldo??

Strach's lads will hardly cross the halfway line. These are the sort of games we can afford to go for the jugular.

Didn't know if Giggsy was fit or not, and I heard Fortune had a great game

True but we need to attack and having Keane, Phil and Fortune is too much against a side which as we have seen in recent meetings defends before even considering taking the game to us. A midfield of Ronaldo-Scholes-Keane-Giggs behind our new front two will worry Wee Gordon enough to close up shop. Then it's just a case of breaking em down.
 
Is Gary fit? If not, throw Fortune in defence in his place.

--------------- Howard ---------------

G.Neville -- Silvestre -- Brown -- O'Shea

Ronaldo --- Keane --- Scholes --- Giggs

------------ Saha --- RVN -------------

[size=+2]WELCOME BACK 4-4-2!!!![/size] :D

I feel we'll still play 4-2-3-1, but Saha will be more offensively oriented than Scholes normally is. A deep laying striker as opposed to a attacking minded midfielder, if you like.

I also think Butt will play, either to continue trying to get him to stay or to give him his last appearance at Old Trafford.

Better than my one earlier.

Is there to be a protest at this game against McManus and Magnier?

Yeah BaBy..... :o
:smirk:
that's the official phrase in OT during the match, don't ye know?
;)

and since we are goin' to show 2 bxxxxxds who we really need, that's the one phrase we MUST have
 
Looking forward to Saha making his debut of course, but it would be really nice to see a banner or hear a chant about the evil M&M twins.
 
------------Howard-------------

--Gaz----Silv---O'Shea--Fortune

--------Keano----Butt----------

--Klebertson----Scholes----Fletcher

-------------Ruud--------------

I don't think Saha will start.

If he does, replace him with fletch. This is contingent if giggsy is still not fit.

I likes the look of that. For this game at least. We need to look at Saha in the context of his new team before any formations or starting XI's are drawn up. I think he should start though. He has been training all week so he should have enough to go on.

There's no way Fletch can play on the left.
 
If Giggsy is fit:

------------------------------- Howard ---------------------------------


-- GNev -------------- Silvestre ------ O'Shea ------------ Fortune --


--------------------- Keane ----------------- Butt ----------------------


---- Ronaldo ------------------ Scholes ---------------------- Giggs ---


--------------------------------- Ruud -----------------------------------


If he isn't:


------------------------------- Howard ---------------------------------


-- GNev -------------- Silvestre ------ O'Shea ------------ Fortune --


--------------------- Keane ----------------- Butt ----------------------


---- Ronaldo ------------------ Scholes ----------------- Kleberson ---


--------------------------------- Ruud -----------------------------------


Kleb played on the left and right as a youth player, so he could fill in for Giggsy.
 
I thought Ronaldo's the only player who can effectiely play left or right ? If so, then he should be used as Gigg's replacement and leave Kleb on the right. Anyone know if Saha is left , right or bi- footed ?
 
United 1-0 South. I dont think we've been playing well lately. Anyway, I'm sattisfied with 3 points.

Does anybody think Fergie'll try Giggs on the right if he's fit as he's done a few times this year and play Saha on the left as a sort of Winger / Striker?

Hope not. Giggs is pretty poor on the right. I also doubt Saha will be used out of position in his first game.

You may be right

But, Ronaldo never plays two in a row, so that takes him out. Giggs may be injured, so it may actualy be Quinton up there, JOS at LB, and wess and mickey at CB.
 
I bet that not one of the formations posted here will be the one that we use on Saturday :smirk:
 
--------------Howard--------------
Neville-----Wes----Mickey---O'Shea
Ronaldo---Keane----Scholes---Giggs
-------V.Nistelrooy---Saha---------

Carroll
Fortune
P.Neville
Kleberson
Forlan

While I wouldn't use this formation on a regular basis, I don't see anything wrong with using it against Soton. They'll be looking to sit back and defend. We need to get at them. I'd like Butty on the bench though. He's been looking better and better.
