I don't want to go into it, should be used for CC and FA Cup only IMO.
Everton vs. Manchester United
- Thread starter nemanja15
- Start date
Just very nearly got a ticket, not happy.
Think we'll see Ferdinand on the bench and Evans in the team.
Not confident on Fletcher and Scholes chasing Arteta, Osman and Pienaar around if the match goes this way.
Prefer a 4-5-1 then?
Been waiting and waiting for this game. FINALLY it's here. I cannot wait to sit around and watch proper footy this weekend.

I like this though Valencia is the only question. If not in the team due to the travel factor, i'd definitely have him on the bench.
Some might say its risky to have Ferdinand starting but he always starts well when he's coming back from an injury or layoff.
What channel is this on in the US? Thanks

No.
FSC Plus actually.

Apparently Saha been ruled out 3 weeks.
First I was not too sure if rooney will play but I think Fergie will start with him.

Because he's crap
If Anderson is fit, I wonder if we might go for a 4-3-3 with Scholes, Anderson and Fletcher in the middle, in case Everton pack the midfield.
Do we have a list of players that travelled?
Can't see past a draw for this one.Just hope the team don't suffer from the early kick off syndrome.
Yup. Would be surprised if we won. Not won here in 3 years now
Berbatov has been too goodthis season to be dropped now. He scored at Goodison last year as well.
On the plus side if Rooney plays, he was gonna get booed at this game regardless. Hope he doesn't let it get to him.
From Mark Ogden's Twitter:
Rooney lined up with Berbatov in a final run-through at training yesterday, so expect him to start at Everton today..

Especially considering who we play next week, could do without a suspension.
Rooney will play and score.
Facht.
Facht.
Yeah based on his outstanding record against Everton since signing for us right?Rooney lets the Goodison crowd get under his skin at the BEST of times, never mind now. Should be on the bench.
I won't be able to predict the result until I see how we start the game.
Goodison never an easy place to go and it's going to be spicy as feck.
I'd stick all the old bastards in today - we need some proper experienced heads. Rio, Scholes, Giggs etc.

Yeah, I always feel we have too many off-days in the early kick-offs. It would be interesting to see if that perception was backed up by the facts.
I suspect Fergie has spent a great deal of time pondering whether to play Berbatov today, or to beef up the midfield. Personally, after Berbs' promising start to the season, I'd like to see him given a vote of confidence.
Actually I wouldn't mind seeing Rooney playing on the left for this one. He is under pressure and playing out wide maybe able to ease some of that. Besides we need the workrate today and playing both Valencia and Nani will leave us exposed. Personally I would go with a midfield three of Giggs, Fletch and Yoda with Nani wide on the right and Berba upfront on his own.
Valencia has been off the boil lately and perhaps a little rest may do him wonders especially given his round the world in 8 days trip.

Hope Berba and Nani start
Not the best set of results of Everton lately, I'll take a half nil win

Last time United won they virtually had 2 banks of four defenders. O'Shea, Evra and Brown were in midfeildYup. Would be surprised if we won. Not won here in 3 years now
There is no point having 3 strikers on the bench. I'd even opt for 3 defenders with Smalling or Neville and use Rafael as secondary wing cover or something. The need to put 3 strikers on in a match is as rare as needing a second goalkeeper substation.
Not based on anything, just a very strong gut feeling I have. Hope I'm proved right.

There's a lot of negativity in here, which I guess isn't overly surprising considering our record at goodison, but come on guys, we should never go into a league game saying a draw is a good result. I don't care who or where we are playing, we should always expect three points.
Have some confidence in the players and the manager, if SAF starts Rooney is because he thinks he is up to dealing with the hostility and that's good enough for me. If Rooney plays I reckon he'll have a blinder, 90 minutes of loud and clear support from our travelling faithful will help.
I saw my friend, the other day.....

The goal
MEGAVIDEO - I'm watching it
He was United's man of the match in the league games in 04-05,05-06 and 06-07, as well as playing well in his first game back there in the FA Cup.

Latest rumours are that Rooney will not start
Not at goodison apparently.
Well thats a bit fecked up. Another "stomach bug" is it?
