Id personally swap Scholes for Carrick other than that id say thats bang on...with the assumption that Van der Sar is still injured of course?

I wouldn’t have Scholes in their for a match like this purely because I see Parker and Noble who will be all over the place hassling our midfield and getting tackles in..we wont be given any time on the ball especially in midfield for this one…...Scholes needs time on the ball to get his head up and pick out passes and we saw at anfield what happens when you get in his face and don’t give him that time....i think the Parker and Noble duo will play in very similar fashion to the way Mascherano and lucas did against us at anfield in the sense they’ll be in our faces all match...not a match that suits Paul in my view.
 
My team to face West Ham

- VDS -

- Rafael - Brown - Vidic - Evra

- Valencia - Carrick - Fletcher - Giggs-

- Rooney - Berbatov

Subs - Kuzczak, Neville, Anderson, Scholes, Nani, Owen, Obertan
 
Is life even worth living without Ljajic?
 
This Ljajic 'joke', and I use that term lightly is going to be the new one going around isn't it? Following on from, 'Neville back in two weeks', 'Brown OG' and '4 game ban for Evra'.

Not forgetting 4 goals per game for Diouf.
 
Neville hasn't done enough to warrant a start.
Anderson has. Scholes is ideal for home games against bus parking teams, not away ties where the opposing midfield will be running all over the place. I watch all the training and I know everything. The team SHOULD be:

VDS
Rafael Brown Vidic Evra
Valencia Fletcher Anderson Nani
Berbatov Rooney

Swap Berbs for Owen if Berbs in unfit. Park looked sluggish last week and I dont think he is ready for a 90 mins. Step up Nani, this is a perfect opportunity to nail down that left side on your own. He even has Evra for support. I think BOTH of our strikers need to be in the box when Nani has the ball on the left. Beating his man is never the problem. Perhaps more option to pick out in the box will make it easier for him to make a decision.

Safe Giggs and Scholes for the bench. We may need options in the second half. Also, with xmas fixtures coming up it will be smart to have both these freaks of nature (both playing very well this season) fresh for the second most cruscial time of the season (first being the run in obviously).
 
Starting XI: ---------- Van Der Sar ---------------------
Rafael ------- Brown ----------------- Vidic -------- Evra
Valencia ----- Carrick --------------- Fletcher ------ Nani
------------- Rooney --------------- Berbatov ----------

Bench: Kuszczak, Neville, Gibson, Anderson, Giggs, Park, Owen
 
Tomorrow we will see the return of Berba in the PL, and also the return of Nani.

So much so, I'm going to put them both in my FF team
 
I wish this game would hurry the feck up. Too much off-the-pitch shit has been going on over the past few days, we could do with a big win to sweep it aside.

3-0.

Nani hasn't really been playing much lately, and I doubt West Ham away is the right place for SAF to try him back in our starting XI. I'd much rather see him given a go from start at home to Wolves next week instead.
 
Done - Hopefully Fergie won't mess my FF up by not playing Berba and Nani.


---------------VDS-------------

I'd go with this.

It would be quite unfair, however, to leave PIG out of the team after his recent performances.

Really don't think it can be swept away that easily

Thank god for internet ;)

Btw. Neville to play. Fletch and Carrick. Roo and Berb. If Nani doesn't make it to the bench then Pheelan's comment's will be without foundation. To put it gentle.
 
I fancy eanuts right now, I can fit of them in my mouth at once, apa taught me well. I went on earlier and found that blue ts like peanuts too!

Hmmmmm, I think I cracked. It's something to do with peanuts
