I would swap Anderson with Hargreaves in the second one.

Ronaldo is wasted up front. Rooney's wasted on the right. We need Rooney to play up front. And Ronaldo to attack Barca not playing with his back to the goal.

Well thats not what i want.

Thats how we will play going by things recently.

oleonenumber20 · 28th April 2008, 14:11

Vidic has to play. I could live with Rooney starting of the bench if not fit, with Ronaldo--Tevez--Anderson/Nani up top.
If Rooney starts and Agrivates his injury more then that could be the end of his season.
Whats our Yellow card situation like?

Kelvin · 28th April 2008, 15:26

f*ck we need Rooney and Vida badly, or else we have no chance of beating barca.

Doubts remain over Reds duo

Sir Alex Ferguson will wait until the final moment before deciding whether his injured warriors Wayne Rooney and Nemanja Vidic can face Barcelona.

Both players were substituted during Saturday's defeat at Chelsea and there is concern that Tuesday night will come too soon for the pair as they recover from facial (Vidic) and hip problems (Rooney).

"Obviously for such an important game, we’ve got to give them every chance," said Sir Alex, at Monday's pre-match press conference.

"Nemanja didn’t train yesterday or today, neither did Wayne. It’s a difficult one. We think both could make it but I can’t be dead certain.”

What does seem certain is that Cristiano Ronaldo will return to the starting line-up, fresh from being a sub on Saturday and being crowned PFA Player of the Year on Sunday.

Patrice Evra could also come back in, despite being one booking away from missing the final. Mikael Silvestre performed impressively in his absence at left-back but has only just returned to the fold after a lengthy spell out with injury

The weather outlook is improving.

High 14°C / Low 7°C.

Mind you it looks utterly miserable on Wednesday so if the winds pick up things could change.

brown ferdinand vidic evra

hargreaves scholes anderson

ronaldo rooney tevez

See simple, a great team with balance. our perfect lineup. but i bet when i see the team on the screen on tuesday ill be shaking my head thinking what the fuck! again.

Heres mine if the pair dont make it

:

vds

brown pique ferdinand evra

hargreaves scholes anderson

ronaldo tevez giggs

Still looks strong to me

oleonenumber20 · 28th April 2008, 17:13

whats the issue with Vida? Is he just suffering from his knock on Sat or is it something else?

Jacob · 28th April 2008, 17:13

From now on, till tomorrow midnight, I won't get anything done.

rooney__10 · 28th April 2008, 19:40

Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Neville, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Silvestre, Evra, 0'Shea, Ronaldo, Scholes, Anderson, Hargreaves, Carrick, Giggs, Park, Fletcher, Rooney, Tevez, Kuszczak, Pique, Welbeck.

I got this from the bbc website, its the squad we have available against barca, one question, where the fucks nani?

AttackingFlair · 28th April 2008, 19:46

I hope Rooney is back... Tevez as a lone striker worries me.

Interesting, but the wings would not be used effectively as neither of them are natural on the flank.

Wes------Rio------Vida------Paddy

Subs:- PIG, Pique, Fletch, Carrick, Park, Giggs, Tevez

Scholes as playmaker with the pace of the front 3, Hargreaves, Andyson & Paddy all getting forward should create enough chances for us to score 2 at least.

I'm taking the piss, hopefully we will play 4-4-2 and rooney and tevez start.

Jacob · 28th April 2008, 21:33

Big question is whether he'll start Carrick or Anderson.
