Jacob · 23rd April 2008, 21:44

GK: VDS

RB: Brown
CB: Ferdinand
CB: Vidic
LB: Evra

CM: Hargreaves
CM: Anderson

A scrappy 0-1 win

Agreed. We'll win this one.

Alex · 23rd April 2008, 22:26

Start Anderson!

Why not?

Tonights performance and result would be perfect for us.

RedKaos · 23rd April 2008, 22:37

Hopefully Vidic will be back to keep Drogba and Riise at bay.

a_devil_inside · 23rd April 2008, 22:37

probably get a draw which isn't bad

Because for all our defensive efforts and knowing Chelsea, it'd probably end up just like the cup final.

When we play like we saw tonight we sacrifice too much [more so in the Premiership], let's try and regain our momentum again with some play that is more true to ourselves.

Chelsea won't be easy to break down as it is, so no point being cautious and stand offish with how we go about proceedings.

true that. 3 points ahead with 2 to play = our league, I hope.

you do know west ham are game-raising cunts though and wigan is still not safe from relegation and have something to play for , lets get it sorted out as soon as possible with a win.

Addict · 23rd April 2008, 23:01

fuck sake we are going to lose now

nah i think it will be a 1-1 draw

hopefully vidic and anderson get a start

GE · 23rd April 2008, 23:01

I reckon we'll end their unbeaten record.

Chelsea 1-2 United

charlenefan · 23rd April 2008, 23:01

Anyone else think that Chelsea will go with Anelka up front with Drogba either on the bench or missing entirely?

December_16 · 23rd April 2008, 23:11

VDS

Brown
Rio
Vidic (if fit)/Pique
Evra

Carrick
Anderson
Hargreaves

Ronaldo
Rooney
Tevez

Subs: Kuszy, O'Shea, Scholes, Giggs, Nani

0-1 Rooney. Scrappy game, but it would be sweet to win the league at SB and stop their unbeaten run at home though (cue duffer to jump in and claim we cant win the league at SB)

Decotron · 23rd April 2008, 23:11

Its a shame we havent got a top quality forward in reserve. Ive a feeling Rooney may need to be rested at the weekend. Also who should start Nani or Giggs???

REd FUn DevIl · 23rd April 2008, 23:13

We should secure the title in this game.

Hope Vidic recovers in time.

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

Avram could look at it one of two ways, Drogba's my prefered player so i'll rest him ahead of the CL, or Drogba had an iffy match midweek and this'll remind him of his place.

And Anelka is a dangerous enough replacement.

Raven_Blade · 23rd April 2008, 23:18

Play to win, always. We dont want anything other than three points. Lets try and end this title race.

KeyserSoze · 23rd April 2008, 23:25

Lets end the title race and their unbeaten run at the same time.

oleonenumber20 · 23rd April 2008, 23:41

I dunno why but I can see Fergie resting a few players for this one. I can just see that Cunt Carvaliho making a twi footed tackle on Rooney or Ronaldo.

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

Brown------------Rio------------Vida----------Evra

------Hargreaves-------Carrick-------Anderson-----

Ronaldo--------------Tevez-----------------Nani

Bench. Foster, O'Shea,Giggs,Scholes, Rooney

That's a really bad idea, Tevez as a lone striker up against JT would be an absolute no contest.

depends how we play it. If we lump balls forward to Tevez then yes it would be a bad idea. But I can see Tevez dropping deeper disturbing Makka will Ronaldo making the forward runs.

Nick 0208 Ldn · 24th April 2008, 00:03

What i reckon it'll be...

TK
Brown
Rio
Vidic
Evra
Giggs
Hargreaves
Anderson
Nani
Tevez
Ronaldo

None of our forwarda are a match for him in the air including ronaldo. If u run straight at him though he has problems.

Raven_Blade · 24th April 2008, 00:11

I think Rooney will start this game. He was taken off against Barcelona and hardly used much of his energy anyway.
