Wtf does rotation have to do with it? Rooney got a kick on the hip, Vidic got a knee in the face. What can you do to avoid that?

Ronaldo needs to step up and fucking do it now.

RooneyDevil8 · 29th April 2008, 19:05

You are all mad (some) we are in the semi final of champions league, some of you might be upset that Ruud is not playing. If we win we go through to the final, i think you need to have some beer. We are United, We are at Old Trafford. That team our there is more than good enough to get us to the final, with pride and passion, have faith and keep the red flag flying high!

GusHiddink · 29th April 2008, 19:06

we dont look like we can impact from the bench if we need goals...but the side is good enough to win, if we approach this right.

Suddenly you start to feel paranoid at this stage. I really wish Fletcher started instead of Park or Nani, him playing behind Scholes and Carrick and just going crazy the entire 90 minutes to disrupt Barca like he did to Roma last year. Ronaldo can tear up the wing by himself.

obvioulsy giggsy has much more european pedigree then park or nani but fwiw park has played well in europe for us and other teams

I think we've pissed about with the line up so often lately that we've forgotten what our best team is.

Devils Advocate · 29th April 2008, 19:07

Agree but allow us to be a bit nervous.

Ekeke · 29th April 2008, 19:07

I'm nervous without Rooney in there. It could be that injuries to our major players lead to another unsuccessful european campaign. Could really have done with a fit Saha right now...

Still, this team can beat Barcelona if they play their best.

Raven_Blade · 29th April 2008, 19:07

Well then. We have got to attack them. Their defence is their weakness and it is the only way we will win the game. Up and at them United!

Thank god its on ITV been listening to Alan Green for 10 seconds and he's already annoying me.

Jacob · 29th April 2008, 19:08

Come on Nani!

Erictheking7 · 29th April 2008, 19:08

C'mon guys we all need to believe we can do this........where's Uri Geller when you need him

anything about now · 29th April 2008, 19:09

We HAVE to attack. Why is it that Barca can play three in the middle and still attack well? Well technically we have three in the middle as well (Park in a defensive role). Won't expect Nani to defend much, nor Ronaldo or Tevez. No fucking excuses tonight. Maybe bring Fletcher on at some point to use as an attack dog.

Agreed

ecantona7 · 29th April 2008, 19:10

happy with the lineup. If the game is still scoreless at halftime I fully expect Anderson to come on and change the tempo of the game. We will do it tonight. MANCHESTER UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB WILL PREVAIL.

TheRedPirate · 29th April 2008, 19:10

Nani starting

VidaRed · 29th April 2008, 19:10

have faith

we'll win

KeyserSoze · 29th April 2008, 19:10

Im mildly surprised Giggs is on the bench.

Sylar · 29th April 2008, 19:10

Barca fans seem up for it. Making a lot of noise already.

I blame Saha already

Giggsy PO · 29th April 2008, 19:11

Hattrick from Nani and we can go sleep well.

That exactly, you can't stop injuries happening so there is no point making 6 changes every week.

I think everyone was nervous before the lines ups tbh. Its just some people looks like they have given up... never give up, we have a great team and i hope they show us tonight. Half glad some people on here are not at Old Trafford tonight, imagine it: "oh noes, we will lose now?" - what atmosphere would that create? Get behind the team and enjoy it, you never know whats round the corner!
