I think this game should be an easy win for us. Our form has been great! It will be 2-0 or 3-0 to us! SAF will probably play a totally different team to what i put!
VDS
Bardsley Rio Silvestre O'Shea
Ronaldo Smith Scholes Park
Rooney Van Nistelrooy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This thread has been opened quite late by the normal standards,no?the game is less than 48 hours away ....
Maybe everyone is still basking in the glory of the last win and is UNDERESTIMATING the LILLE game .....
for me, I'd stick with the same team , only stick Giggs in for Ronaldo and hopefully Scholes will score in this one to kick-start his season.
Keep fletcher out please SAF,good team selection in the last game
-------------------------------------------------------------------- you never know, fletcher might've been rested for the lille game since he had two full internationals. and i reckon we are better with him in the side. i used to doubt fletcher in a 2 man central pairing in the middle but maybe he can produce, provided he has a good def.midfielder behind him. i've been impressed by smith, but am yet to be convinced that he can make it in the big league.
not too sure that ferguson will let rossi start, it might be too early. but then again what do i know, if ferguson picks him he knows more than me.
----------------------------------------------------------------- Smith is suspended too. That's mean supporters who want Fletcher on the bench will be disapointed. It's not my case. Here is the team i'd like to watch on Tuesday
Van der sar
P.Bardsley R.Ferdinand M.SIlvestre J.O'Shea
D.Fletcher P.Scholes
J.S.Park R.Giggs C.Ronaldo
Van Nistelrooy
Sub: Howard; Richardson; Rossi; Pique; Miller
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- your team seam to the most likely one but, i think it needs some restructuring
VDS
Bradsley Rio Silvestre O'shea
Park Fletcher
Ronaldo Scholes Giggs
Ruud
maybe scholes and park could be interchanged, but scholes does not look comfortable in defensive midfielders role. smith is better.
