Me and you know that Fergie will play Scholes if he's fit, thats guaranteed. I've got a sneaky feeling that Anderson might not start. I think I'll prefer to see Tevez and Rooney to start with. Those 2 can run all day long.
Scholes would be overpowered in the midfield. . . Only Carrick understands Scholes as he quickly makes himself available to receive Scholesy's passes.
I would trade Berbatov's fitness for Carrick as we speak. Carrick(so under-rated) but he has been our most productive midfielder.
He reads the game superbly and moves to support his skillful and showboating team-mates.
Carrick's vision to intercept passes and deliver passes through the eye of the needle makes him United's priceless jewel in the midfield.

I think the big question is How many goals would we concede if any?
United know what they are up AGAINST!!!
This game reminds me of Pizzagate. Arsenal filled to the brim with raw confidence that they would beat Man Utd at OT.
After 49 games unbeaten, any team would feel that way but United players raised their game and whacked em.
Van Der Sar might not concede tomorrow.

We need Hargreaves in the centre of the midfield as we have no Carrick!!!
Anderson and Scholes combo cannot work. . . . .Ando runs forward when Scholes gets the ball thus leaving the gingerboy stranded.
Hargreaves n Anderson work in tandem. . . The 2 of them have defined roles. .Hargo knows he has to SIT thus allowing Ando to roam as he likes.
4-2-3-1 is a perfect formation but we need STRONG central midfielders to play such. . . .Scholesy's legs are tired now.

yes he'll have to, to start with. Thats the sacrifice he makes for the team

I know but remember that was on Neutral ground. This is at the GAY BRIDGE!!! We have to be cautious with the way we approach the game, remember when we went Gong Ho at Anfield. We need to keep it tight.

The most important thing is that Fergie must have a solid Plan B for when we are winning or losing.
4-3-3 would allow Chelsea's 5-man midfield to pass through like hot knife on butter.
5 strong midfielders(Mikel, Lampard, Ballack, Deco and Joe Cole) would walk through our 3 midfielders too easily.
Lets play a FLAT 4 in the midfield with GRAFTERS like Park, Hargreaves and Anderson/Scholes and u would see a massive difference.
It's no coincidence that JS Park is yet to lose a game in which he STARTED @ Man Utd(He must start tomorrow). grin cheesy

Nah!! You got it wrong bro . . . .Anderson is not playing on the wings. Thats a 3 compact midfield. Call it 4-5-1 (Attacking)

Ronaldo and Rooney to provide width . . . they are interchangeable. Rooney on the wings to start with for defensive duties.  we have to win the midfield battle
Rooney to provide width again??
He was wasted last weekend against the Scousers. . . . . .
The only way we can beat Chelsea is to play 4-4-2 a la Moscow.

Let Ronaldo and Park hug the touchline. . . . .Chelsea is vulnerable with wing play.
Bosingwa's positioning is suspect. . . .Antonio Valencia, Olivia Kapo and Palacios taught me that.
Should United get a counter attack down his flank, it's VOILA. cool huh
Anderson's strength is the centre of the midfield with Hargreaves holding which allows the young Brazilian to drift 30 degrees.
That was where he overshadowed Fab4(Emirates) and Gerrard(Anfield) last season.

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=173931.msg2830836#msg2830836 date=1221948016]OMG 5-2 at the Allianz Arena this is serious  grin

@dayokanu
Please explain what happened today?[/quote]Nothing happened!!!
They were thoroughly beaten by the better side.
Don't get me wrong. . . . . . .Bayern had countless shots on goal but they didn't make it count.
Werder Bremen had 5 shots on goal and they scored from it!!!
Thats what u call CLINICAL attempts.

This should be the XI:


I think this would be the ideal formation:

                                              VDS

                        NEVILLE                    BROWN                     RIO                          EVRA

                                   

                                            HARGO              SCHOLES                  ANDERSON

                       

                                  RONALDO                                                                  ROONEY



                                                                       BERBATOV
Anderson is not a winger. . . . . . He would waste away if u play him in wide positions.
4-3-3 will not work against Chelsea. . . . . . We need width.
Players that can hug the touchline and pin Ashley Cole and Bosingwa back.

Without Chelsea's wing-backs. . . . . . They are powerless unless they return to Jose Mourinho's way of lumping balls to Drogba.
Lets push em back the way Scolari defeated Sven Goran Eriksson in EURO 2004(He made sure Ronaldo kept Ashley Cole busy). . . . .
England couldn't attack because Ashley Cole was busy for 90 mins romancing Cristiano's twinkle toes. tongue grin

[quote author=kay_pumpin link=topic=17491.msg2830902#msg2830902 date=1221949458]i knw the blues fans are going to literally kill me for this,but i think they have faired well so far with their new style of play because they ve played so far with teams who has allowed them to play and most times played with em "lying down".In 2 matches that questions av been asked of them i.e Wigan and Tottenham game,i av seen them falter and stutter.The game tommorow is a totally different kettle of fish and i knw United is not a team you play with sticking to one game plan and am yet to see chelsea switch game plan in their recent games.This is not takin anythin away frm the champagne football Roman craves for and Felipe seem to be churnin out impeccably,but i still feel Chelsea is not there yet with this new style.A team that take the game to Chelsea now will av a freer passage than it was in the last 4 seasons with their "Rugby style".I am sure the game tommorow will be too tactically inclined and may tend to be boring sorta and end in a "drabby draw"a la Chelsea VS Liverpool last season @ stamford.I can't remember in recent times if United had lost 2 matches in a row(@ H help with that),and i dnt think it will happen now(though i hate to say that as an arsenal fan).Am predicting a goaless draw,and if anyone will win the game,it WILL be Manchester United.Those guys just knw when to turn the heat on.[/quote]Brilliant Post!!!!

Arsenal's 49th unbeaten run(Oct 2004)
Jose Mourinho's 42nd unbeaten run(Nov 2005)
Lyon's 64th unbeaten run(Dec 2005)
Chelsea's 84th unbeaten run(?? ?? ??)

If any team can beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, it's Man Utd!!!

@ Crizzle for shizzle grin

Thats not a very bad one, I had one from two seasons ago that was taken after Henry scored the winning goal at the Emirates, its a classic! grin

I must search for it and find it! tongue
Don't even think about it. . . . .
I have Wenger's classics after Nani's showboating and Fletcher's amazing headers ripped y'all apart last season at OT.
Wenger's face was so bloated u would wager he was 9 months pregnant.
If u nudge me, i would paste it here. tongue

Cristalz:
That is fresh in my mind too. I mean,when Ronaldo came on,he and Rooney just seemed to bond naturally with Tevez backing 'em up. Twaz beautiful to watch. I want to see more of that tomorrow.

Berba shouldn't play for the full 90. Fergie should have Plan A and Plan B for tomorrow.  .  .
We can start Berba and play Tevez late in the game.
He is known to come into games and INFLUENCE it.
His energy would run Terry and Carvalho down.
This is ma formation/prediction and the line-up. grin grin grin grin grin grin

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Manchester United Fan thread: Forever Reds by Hannibal: 8:38pm On Sep 20, 2008
debosky:
Rooney looks a tad off form, at least from the last game, He may be benched for Ronaldo/Berba since those guys should be rearing to go.

Tevez is far too energetic to be left on the bench I think.
An off form Wayne Rooney is more potent than any player in Man Utd.
Ronaldo cannot flourish without Rooney. . . . . Ferguson must stick to his HOLY TRINITY that fetched him 80 goals last season.
Berbatov should wait for the Carling Cup game to show us what he can do OR he should be contented with a cameo appearance.
I still remember the superb attacking play Rooney-Ronaldo-Tevez showed us on Wednesday but Tevez's effort was cleared OFF the line.
The triumvirate work in tandem and they are the most potent strike force in the world!!!

Don't do this to Dayokanu.
He has repented!!!!! grin cheesy grin
How can a team concede 5 goals at HOME??
This was the same poof crucifying Arsenal some months back, bloody ninny!!!


His team was schooled at home by a very good Werder Bremen side.
Thomas Schaaf was SPOT ON with his tactics until he took out the Swedish striker(Markus Rosenberg) and allowed Bayern to score!!!
Bayern was woeful conceding goals a pub team wouldn't have conceded. tongue grin
Klinsmann should be sacked!!! It was 5-0 to the away team before Bayern scored their goals. tongue tongue tongue

I THINK FERGIE SHULD USE TIS LINE UP

V D S

RAFAEL FERDINAND BROWN EVRA

HARGO

RONALDO SCHOLES ANDERSON
TEVEZ

BERBATOV
This formation is RISKY!!!

Firstly, Rafael won't be allowed to play a game of this magnitude.
Hargreaves and Anderson should be in the central midfield. . . .Scholesy would be overpowered by Mikel and Lampard.
We need a bit of width too and no matter what Fergie does, WAYNE ROONEY must START!!!

BK Aalborg defender Michael Beauchamp has had his midweek red card overturned and deferred onto his team-mate Michael Jakobsen following a decision from UEFA.

http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=872158

Does this make sense?
That was a different scenario entirely.
The referee booked an innocent player who wasn't even involved in the foul.
I am sure UEFA musta demoted the dude. . . .How can u book a different player? What was the REF thinking?

Letz do the Arses a favour by beating Chelsea tomorrow at Wankford Bridge!!!
If the Arses go 40 points clear of Man Utd, i have the belief we can surmount it.
Chelsea are tough nuts. . . .They love making the top spot their own and with the FA shagging Terry n Lampard, u never know.

Very good game from Bolton and congratulations to the gunners, they seems to remember 3 points is very important. Keep it up but the premiership is blue.
They played extremely well.
The lack of a killer instinct robbed em off tonight.
Almunia made countless saves which ordinarily should be hitting the back of the net!!!
The Arses now top the table temporarily. grin

You people will have to start acknowledging Eboue's talent

Why didn't Harry put in a bid for him?
Eboue's British accent turned Harry Redknapp off!!

Eboue might have been marginally offside, the same way Davies was marginally fouling Kolo tongue

The difference right now is Bendtner's goal which was a peach! cheesy
Eboue's first league goal in 71 league games!!! grin grin grin
Now, Debosky would leave this posh Ivorien alone for a week.
He has improved greatly and i am gobsmacked he can play as a left winger.
Talk about versatility(plus he dives too!!) tongue
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by Hannibal: 5:58pm On Sep 20, 2008
Stupid officiating.
Eboue is at least 30 miles offside.
Good move though!!!

Bendtner!!!!!
Jeeez. . . . .Arsenal shoulda scored 10 in the last 10 mins.
Bolton's defence epitomises muppetry.
They are all over the place. tongue

Bolton can never change the way they play.
Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez!!!!

I thunk Davies fouled Toure there.
He pressed his shoulders down to head that corner home.
Gael Clichy is a Arrow. . . . Why did he move away from the post he was guarding??

A score draw is written all over this match but i expect Man Utd to win.
Cheese n Rice. . . . .We have everyone FIT but Carrick(ankle) and Vidic(suspension).
Johnny Evans should partner Ferdinand in the back four with Evra and Brown retaining their positions.
We need Hargreaves in the midfield to destroy Lampard n Mikel. . .and Fergie should keep Tevez on the bench till the 2nd half.
Berbatov needs games(he must start).

Markus Rosenberg was a thorn in the flesh all evening.
I was pissed when he got subbed in the 70th minute for that misfiring Boubacar Sanogo.

It was even 5-0 until Bremen removed Rosenberg. . . . Had he stayed, it woulda been 9-0. grin tongue

I am a 41 year old lady and single. I am believing God for a Husband and Kids, however a friend made a statement to me a while ago saying that I have left it too late on both counts. Surely not, what do you think?
It's not too late!!!

A woman can have kids anytime she wants to IF she has never given birth before, so you are safe.
If single mothers of 45 can get married, i see no reason why u cannot.
Open up and socialise more. There are some kind of men interested in women like u.
Good luck.
