I'm really looking forward to this, we may not be at the top of our game but United are also well down on their form of the first few weeks, looking very dodgy at the back and exceedingly lucky to get all 3 points against Norwich who could easily have wrapped the game up before United scored their first.

If we start with SG in MF, maybe a possibility after 30 mins against Everton, then I believe we could edge this one. I'd like to see :

............................. Reina

Kelly .......... Carra ............. Agger (Skrtel) .... Enrique

........................... Lucas

Kuyt ......................... Gerrard .............. Adam

.................................................. Bellamy

..................... Suarez
(if fit to play after the SA matches, otherwise Kuyt up front and Downing at RW)

United's fans are very very wary of this game, maybe only 10% of posters in 2 pages of a Red Cafe thread actually think they will win, most thinking they'll lose. Major doubts re. their defence and midfield. However IMO this international break comes at just the wrong time as it gives their injured defenders plenty of time to get fit for the game and may mean Suarez not fit to start .. and even bigger loss for us.

Generally their preferred team is :

................................. De Gea

Smalling .....Ferdinand ...........Vidic ........ Evra
(Jones) ...............................(Smalling)

Nani ...........Cleverly.............Anderson ......Young

.........................................Rooney
.........................Welbeck

Most feeling Hernandez & Valencia will not be ready for the game after traveling back from South/Central America and that Park never has a good game against us (despite a goal a couple of seasons ago). Seems Ferdinand is out of form but still preferred, Vidic needs to come back if even near fitness (the break will help), as the Rio/Jones partnership is a calamity, so if Vidic is not fit then Smalling into CB and Jones to RB.

n.b. I can't understand why Modo's thread was locked. Whether there are 2 days, 2 weeks or 2 months to the next game, it is still the next game and people want to talk about it (especially when it is against Untied) !
 
Adam wide, or no one wide?

Downing is out of form and I believe it is vital we win the MF, also Enrique is more than capable of providing the width there (he did a better job of it than Downing against Everton) but Bellamy can drift wide and SG come in to fill the gap too.
 
Downing might be in good form in nearly two weeks time when the game takes place.

You should cut that line and then re-paste it in the 400 other pre-match threads we'll have before then.

Who knows. All if, buts & maybes.

Why does two weeks (11 days) bother you ? If we talk about who will win the CL will you refuse to have an opinion until a week before the final ? 😉
 
we'll shit em

Reina
Kelly Carra Skrtel Enrique
Lucas
Adam
Gerrard/Hendo(risky either way)
Suarez Kuyt
Carroll

Kuyt and suarez can do their usual flitting about like mentals. If it works, then maxi or bellamy to come on. I like downing but he was awful/average against everton, we need more mobility against the mancs.
My only concern is AM. Gerrard might not be 100% and hendo i'm not convinced over but i'm willing to try him there. IF it doesn't work then bring gerrard on (if hes not fit to start)
 
I'd go with this (fluid up top behind Carroll)...

----------------------Reina-----------------------

Kelly-------Carra------------Agger---------Enrique

-------------Gerrard---------Lucas------------------

Kuyt---------------Suarez---------------Downing/Bellers

So you'd swap Adam with Gerrard. It'd have been easier to just type that really.
 
if gerrard starts (which I doubt) I don't think it will be in a central midfield two, that is asking too much of a player that has just returned to full fitness.

Cheers for your input Ryan. I'll run my posts by you from now on before posting just in case.
 
Cant remember if he's good or bad tbh. Which must mean that he hasnt made much of an impression.

No it's not. He won't start there though.

Well played.
 
They are due against us at home.

Lets hope its not this weekend.

Downing needs to be on the right and Bellamy on the left with Suarez and Kuyt up top.
 
It's the missus grans birthday meal at 1pm on Saturday - Im going to be frothing at the gash through fucking dinner.

Fuck it, im going to give her my phone first thing saturday and avoid all forms of news and watch motd fresh as fuck*

I've tried this a fair few times before and i always break and snaffle bbc.co.uk/football/givemethefuckingscoresbeforeigototallycoldturkey/index.php
 
The missus's nan?! Fuck that, I'd well have had that binned off.

Just do what I do, when the tv fixtures come out, send a link to them to your missus, or better still add them to her phone calendar using that cool LFC.tv thing, & tell her you're unavailable during those times.

Simples. Sure I have to occasionally being dragged round ikea on other days, or suffer some other bullshit family do, but I don't miss the match for any unimportant nonsense.
