£#%&!s sake, full on deja-vu going back to Milan with a patched up defense.
However, it's not quite the nightmare of playing AC last time, they had a striker with exceptional movement in Crespo, and an attacking midfielder / trequartista in Kaka who would run with the ball to exploit the gaps the makeshift defense inevitiably left. This time they just, realistically from what I've seen of Inter, need to handle an aerial threat. That's a lot more straight forwards & if the central midfield can track Stankovic & not let Muntari get time to ping off long shots we shouldn't have quite the same mauling as before. Personally I'd stab Evans with every painkiller / anti-inflammatory going to get him out there. Vidic will be back after this so Evans can have a few weeks to get over it then. ------------------VDS O'Shea------Rio-------Evans------Evra Park-------Carrick------Fletcher---Ronnie ----------Rooney-----Berbs----------- Park to play on the right for the first hour, not much gonna happen down that side as far as I'm concerned, the other side... Ronnie in front of Evra, I really hope Maicon thinks he's the %@#$&!s & bombs on to leave space for these two & Carrick to exploit. Will be the deciding factor - but knowing Mourinho he'll restrict him going past the halfway line & will want a nil-nil the boring £#%&!ing @#%&!. |

Right
I have been seriously thinking about this - and this is the way ahead (assuming injuries galore still).
VDS Rafael Rio Evra Giggs Park Fletchergeddon Carrick Ronaldo Rooney Das Berb von Atovstein. As well we need a pro-wrestling attack on Ibramivivivivvovic in the bogs beforehand by Karl Power and we'll be laughing... |

This is £#%&!ing gutting. Defensively, we’ve been brilliant since coming back from Japan and been on an excellent run – only too loose most of our first choice defence when the biggest game of the season comes round! Just our £#%&!ing luck
If Carrick is forced to play at CB, our midfield will really suffer. I wouldn’t want us to start with both Scholes and Giggs playing in the middle. Very worried about this game. |

Didn't know that - oh boy, if O'Shea doesn't make it are we then looking at Fletcher at right back? What a defensive pile up! Evans, Vidic, G Nev, Brown, Rafael, O'Shea - all out? That would affect any team tbh. Still - I think this will be made for Rio and VDS - I reckon they will be immense tomorrow. |

However, if one of Evans/O'Shea is available, I'd play Fabio at RB. The temptation is put Fletcher in there, but we need him in midfield. £#%&! me, this is worrying. |

I really hope that you are right Btw - who would have seen the day 12 months ago that we'd all be praying that Evans and O'Shea can be fit for Inter. It's credit-crunch-tastic indeed. |
