Three-Lung Park will run all night. Hell he could play both legs back to back.

Scholesy · 23rd April 2008, 18:52

I think it will be this

.........Ronnie........
Rooney..Tev...Park

If Tev is asked to play deep, hes class there. CMON.

The striking options on their bench put us to shame.

Jacob · 23rd April 2008, 18:52

Nani should be in there ahead of Park. I hope Scholes won't have any problems with his lack of pace

very true, it's obviously to keep an eye on messi. there's rumours going around that he'll be man marking him

Nucks · 23rd April 2008, 18:53

Ya, I am concerned with Scholes recent form as well.

I hope we pull through. Our best form of late has been a three man midfield with Carrick deep and Anderson and Hargreaves in front.

I think we are seeing the 4-4-2 because Vidic wasn't fit so Brown had to play CB which meant Hargreaves had to go to RB.

REd FUn DevIl · 23rd April 2008, 18:53

I think the Vida situation changed our formation.

If he was there we could have put Hargo on the middle.

Scholes and Carrick against a midfield of three for Barca it's tough.

Spoonov · 23rd April 2008, 18:53

Rocky's top.

R*v*N · 23rd April 2008, 18:53

Come on United

Can't get last years semi away out of my head

I fear a similar performance

COME ON UNITED!!!!!!!

But our midfield options put theirs to shame. Lets get it on already!!

Kelvin · 23rd April 2008, 18:54

How pathetic, no striker on the bench for us.

anything about now · 23rd April 2008, 18:54

Scholes is going to score tonight.

Anyways... lets hope I'm wrong.

C'mon UNITED

Niall · 23rd April 2008, 18:54

We're really going for it with that line-up.

It's mouth watering, but the last time we went for it in the Nou Camp we lost 4:0

(Sorry, I'm always pessimistic ahead of games!)

ZIDANE · 23rd April 2008, 18:54

We have the more attacking line up but they are strong in midfield.

I hope Carrick and Scholes have good games. It will be key.

I dunno. I fancy Nani and Anderson as fantastic impact subs tonight.

Bape · 23rd April 2008, 18:54

I wonder what the formation would be if Vidic was available..442 still?

Anyway, this formation is interesting. Props for Fergie to play 442, Tevez must be a happy man. I am geniunely suprised with both the formation and Anderson not playing though.

Barca's formation is interesting, I said earlier that Deco gives them a much better option in midfield as Iniesta and Xavi don't work, plus Iniesta is just as good in that advanced position.

Cold_Boy · 23rd April 2008, 18:55

I am not really dissapointed with the line ups.

We will bring on Anderson and Nani after 50 mins.

I hope things go well till then.

Ronaldo. Plus they'll be cack at corners.

Pronewbie · 23rd April 2008, 18:55

Fucking Saha. It'd be great with his aerial ability in this game.

SirAF · 23rd April 2008, 18:55

Aye, an interesting line up indeed. Pumped up for the game now !

RedPony · 23rd April 2008, 18:55

come fucking on united!
2-1 to us
roony and ronaldo both from scholes' assists

pert · 23rd April 2008, 18:55

This is it, come on you reds!!!!!!1

noodlehair · 23rd April 2008, 18:56

That's a gutsy team, to say the least.

Would have had Nani in instead of Park mind

Cold_Boy · 23rd April 2008, 18:56

Scholes and Carrick will have to have the games of their lives to content the Barca 3 man mid field.

I think Scholes and Carrick will sit back and Tevez will play as playmaker.

Jacob · 23rd April 2008, 18:56
