[Sally Cinnamon]

Today (22/3/12)
Moss Lane, Altrincham
7pm kickoff
Live on MUTV​

Line up: Johnstone, De Laet, Smalling, Jones, Fabio, Cleverley, James, Pogba, Petrucci, Lingard, W Keane

Subs: Coll, Fryers, Keane, Tunnicliffe, Vermijl

 

[MPTutd]

Official site says it might be an 'interesting' selection with no first team game this weekend.

 

[prateik]

Owen, anderson, nani, Berba?

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Owen and Anderson aren't even training.

 

[MPTutd]

Berba, Cleverley, Jones, Fabio, Lindegaard, Owen and Park are all possibles.

Don't think he would risk an important player like Nani.

 

[MPTutd]

Owen and Anderson aren't even training.

Owen was out running two weeks ago, so he must be training by now.

 

[Striker10]

I'd be suprised if we pick owen or berbatov. For some reason we seem loath after keane - having a proper striker in the set up

 

[KM]

Berba, Cleverley, Jones, Fabio, Lindegaard, Owen and Park are all possibles.

Don't think he would risk an important player like Nani.

No chance Berba gets involved.
This from the main site:

Matty James is also in line to continue his return from injury but Will Keane is likely to remain the only striking option in the squad.

 

[MPTutd]

Why not play Berb? He has not played in weeks so he needs playing time. If two our of Roon, Chic and Welbs gets injured, he needs to be ready to play.

 

[Beachryan]

Wow, Smalling, Jones, Cleverley, Fabio and Pogba to start...

 

[SkeppyRed]

Line up; Johnstone, De Laet, Smalling, Jones, Fabio, Cleverley, James, Pogba, Petrucci, Lingard, W Keane

Subs; Coll, Fryers, Keane, Tunnicliffe, Vermijl

Predicted formation;

-----------Johnstone-----------

Da laet---Smalling--Jones---Fabio

--------Pogba----James--------

Cleverley----Petrucci----Lingard

------------Keane--------------

 

[Maciej]

Like in League Cup.

 

[Beachryan]

Whoa, completely forgot about De Laet. That is a seriously strong team - though sounds like Pogba will be out wide.

------------------Johnstone--------------------
--De Laet---Smalling-------Jones---Fabio--------
-------------Cleverley--James-------------------
-------------------Petrucci----------------------
-------Pogba---------------------Lingaard------
--------------------Keane----------------------

We better win with that lineup !!!

Young can play behind one of the strikers but, also think if Berba is called upon at this stage, he'll deliver regardless if he has been playing or not, he's already done it a few times this season.

 

[SkeppyRed]

Villa are top of their respective reserve league and did well in the 'next gen' series. Should be a decent game.

This is true, won't be an easy one - but we're going with some serious experience too.

 

[Donut]

Why are we playing our goalie on the left wing?

 

[Antisocial]

Wow that's strong side - let's hope the first teamers combine well with the reserve players and bring them closer to stepping-up to join them in the first team.

 

[voland]

Wheres the white text? I know there is an extra 'a' in the name, but you know we have a player named 'Jessie Lingard' in the reserves, right?

 

[Maciej]

I'd like Ferguson to use Reserves' games to give players game time.

Not Champions League.

 

[Sally Cinnamon]

I actually can't tell if this is serious or not.

Haha, YES!

 

[Jacob]

[Ace]

Kick off in 30 minutes?

 

[Maciej]

No. In 29.

 

[Donut]

I actually can't tell if this is serious or not.

I could understand playing De Gea if he needed some playing time, because he is great with his feet, but Lingaard is not that good with the ball.

Also while it will help with his fitness level, as a goalie his reflexes are trained to handle the ball, so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets 2 yellows and is sent off.

 

[Cold_Boy]

Will there be streams or rivers or canals or pipe lines for this?

 

[Sally Cinnamon]

PM me for a stream.

You aren't serious...........come on mate.

tell me you are joking.

Berb has his suitcase by the front door, I think.

Can someone kindly PM a nice stream plzz

 

[Cutch]

Thats a hell of a team!

Very happy to see Matty James starting also. Has had such bad luck with injuries. I thought he had a really good chance of making it here bout 1.5-2 years ago but like Petrucci he's playing a bit of catch up now. Great passing ability and very quick to see a pass.

 

[kelvinkato77]

I'd add that I think it is great that this is on the 'Home' page now. IMO, very good move mods, admins and those who asked for it to be.

 

[Ivor Ballokov]

that ad for the wine is awesome

 

[Will Absolute]

Can someone kindly PM a nice stream plzz

I've got MUTV so I can't oblige.

#carefully refrains from gloating#

 

[Eirik Raude]

Should have been sent off for that. It's equally dangerous if he does it early in the game. Stupid.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Couple of posts in this thread just reminded me why I was dead against linking threads from this forum to the homepage.

 

[Minkaro]

As soon as I start watching, Keane scores. I'm taking all the credit for that.
