apparently Rio and Anton have a bet on hwo will score more this season.

money in the bag for Anton then with 1 goal
 
Line-up:

---------VDS-----
-Wes-Rio-Silves-Gary-
Ronnie-Smith-Rooney-Park
---Saha---Ruud----
Rooney to play in a more advanced role, Smith to play infront of defense. But too attacking minded for Fergie i think
 
------------VDS-------------
Neville Rio Silvestre Richardson

Park--Rooney--Smith--Ronaldo

--------Saha------RVN-------
 
VDSaar

Neville Rio Silvestre O'Shea

Smith

Park Rooney Ronaldo

Ruud Saha

This team should be too much for West ham. It improves our attacking options while most importantly, removes our poorest performers from the side.

Why would you move mickey to LB? In one game he played there he was terrible. He spent like what 3 seasons playing CB and developing chemistry with Rio so that we move him up wide now?

Because O'Shea offers absolutely nothing going forward, isn't aggressive, and is just nothing better than an adequate backup.

Brown and Rio would be a class partnership, and Brown would provide the aggressive element missing in CD. Silvestre's pace would be better utilized on the left while Heinze is out. I'd rather see a player with pace running down the flank than O'Shea. Micky's passing ain't great, but it's a bit better than O'Shea's.

Furthermore, it's in the best intersest of the club to play the best 11 (fit) players each match, when possible. O'Shea is, at best, the club's 5th best (fit) defender at the moment. Yet I get more optimism with Bardsley in the starting XI. So it's arguable O'Shea is the 6th best defender at the moment.
 
Any attempt to play Rooney behind 2 strikers or in midfield would mean we cannot afford Ronaldo's defensive non-presence - SAF would be sure to play Smith and Fletcher and another midfielder whose initials are not CR.
 
I think saha, ruud and rooney in the same starting line up will never happen. I cant see a change happening from the charlton game. Personally i hope we play park on the wing and drop fletcher or smith!
 
Utd. to sneak by the odd goal !

Given the weekend thats in it, West Ham is quite a tough place to go, as regards hostility. Utd. always get quite a hot reception there.
However, I feel that the vast majority of West Ham supporters, whom always appreciated quality football, will show great respect for the "minute's silence" & will desist from verbal abuse, through out the game, of the great George R.I.P. That said there is the usual very small minded minority at most clubs ! :devil:
 
Given SAF being SAF, unfortunately or inevitably the line-up won't change much.

------------------ VDS ----------------
---WB ----- RF --------MS ------JOS---
-- DF (hopefully, PJS)--- AS --- PS --- CR
--------------- WR ---------- RVN -------

Subs : Park on for Fletcher (if Park does not start)
Saha on for Scholes
Neville on for O'Shea or Brown

If Sir Alex starts with Fletcher, we need to score within the first half hour, if not we are in for a tough time just before and just after the break.

Watch out for Teddy Sheringham and possible heroics from Carroll.
 
as much as i would love to see park start, fergi bots fletch he aint guna drop the lad its totally bollox 2, park is quality
