We must win this one given we are away to Chelsea and then Liverpool in the two following games. I think these next 3 games could well dictate where the title goes.
Not to confident with how we seem to play away. Draw seems quite likely.
Must win game.
Sounds stupid, but I think we've gotta make sure we win this game good and proper, as in no messing around despite Chelsea on Tuesday:
van der Sar
Rafael
Smalling
Vidic
Evra
Nani
Fletcher
Scholes
Giggs
Rooney
Berbatov
SUBS: Lindegaard, O'Shea, Brown, Carrick, Gibson, Owen/Fabio, Hernandez.
I think Fletcher and Scholes should be given another chance together seeing as it was this partnership that did actually look quite good for the first six or seven games of the season; plus with the way Scholes brightened up our play in that second half against Marseille, he should start for sure.

Anything but 3 points would really put the pressure on us in our upcoming fixtures, but going by our results there in recent years it shouldn't be too dificult a game.
This team should and imo will beat wigan. if we beat wigan saturday itl be a massive result and we can go to the bridge with nothing to fear.
After today's match I can see Hernandez and Berbatov together up front, Giggsy and Nani on the wings, with Carrick and Scholes in the middle.
anything other than a win would be a disaster.
Win this and draw at Chelsea and Liverpool would be a good outcome.
Win this and draw at Chelsea and Liverpool would be a good outcome.
Yeah but if we play that strong a side at Wigan, then we might have to play them for four straight games except for a couple of changes.
Everything would have been smooth if Chelsea had won their God damn fecking game against Everton.
imo 3 points against wigan is a must. play our strongest 11, win and then assess the players freshness and make changes if needed for the chelsea game.
I'd save Scholesy for Chelski & Scousers, we will need someone to take the midfield by the scuff of the neck and stop pissing about for those 2 games...
it may dictate if we are going to win it but it wont decide anything.
i have a feeling the away match at arsenal will have a bigger say on the outcome of the league than the next 3 games
Team should be....
GK: VDS
RB: Rafael
CB: Smalling
CB: Vidic
LB: Evra
RM: Nani
CM: Carrick
CM: Scholes
LM: Obertan
CF: Rooney
CF: Berbatov
Subs: Lindegaard, O'Shea, Brown, Fletcher, Gibson, Giggs, Hernandez
Any other season I'd say we'd win comfortably but this season I reckon 1-2

We'll rest a couple of this game with Chelsea in mind.
Whatever team we play it needs width. No matching up with the other team or playing Rooney out wide, we need to play to our strengths. We have good wide players and players who can finish things off in the box, need to go back to that. Today we looked more dangerous when Fletcher went on to the right and Nani on the left but also leaving two up front.
Need to go into this game attacking and playing to our strengths.

Leighton Bloody Baines
Where are these fancy team graphics coming from?
I really doubt we'll have an invisible player sending long balls from one diagonal to the other.
Pessimist.
I think you are confusing Obertan with Mame Diouf.
I think he's theorizing that SAF promised Obertan he'd get to play in France, and then told him the game was on Thursday.
I like how he got kitted out and in position despite the fact that there was evidently no-one in the stadium. Probably stood at the side of the pitch humming the Champions League theme tune as well.I think he's theorizing that SAF promised Obertan he'd get to play in France, and then told him the game was on Thursday.
not really, the longer Torres is with them the better he is so the sooner we face them the better. and imo that loss was a big blow for them.
I presume he was getting at the fact Baines scored that free kick which lead to Chelsea being knocked out of the FA Cup.
Had Baines not scored and Chelsea progressed our game with them on Tuesday would have been postponed.
More like Ashley feckin Cole.
Must win game, lose this and we're in trouble as far as the league is concerned, as I can't see us winning at Chelsea or at Liverpool.
please win anything less will be real bad espically with chelsea and liverpool away coming up.
A draw would be decent, a win would be fantastic. I'm predicting 1-1.
It's like a home game for you, what with the amount of fans you have in the home and away ends at Wigan. Anything less than a comfortable victory is a very poor result.You're kidding?
If you want to win titles this is a must win.
Anything but here is an absolute sickener.
you must be joking or taking the piss.
