Why? He's looked good in recent games, when uninjured, has a great football brain, experience and is an excellent crosser.

Strange thing to say. He hasn't played badly recently.

I'd rather he played than Rafael. In an ideal world, Brown would play, but I don't see that happening.

That's what I'd prefer to see. I want Zlatan to be "Browned" at the first available opportunity.

But isn't Zlatan the 'best player in the world'?

he's had a virus, not sure if hes fit to start. got a feeling it will be rafael regardless

After watching Inter Sunday it seems as though Maicon is there main threat going forward so i expect Park to play and to back up Evra to counter Maicon's attacking threat.

Tonight i'd go with:

VDS

Rafael
Rio
Vida
Evra

Nani
Scholes
Carrick
Ronaldo

Berbs
Tevez

I think he will play park though.Id play nani tonight.Blitz them.

nani needs to start after his good performance otherwise he'll never get confidence

Ferie will throw a curve ball

just been told by a guy at work (Fulham fan) that they have only scored 3 league goals away from home this season

theyre shit away, 12 games won 0 drawn 6 lost 6. dont concede too many but dont score many. theyll probably go 4-5-1 and play for the 0-0, hence why we need as many attacking players on the pitch as possible. not the game for neville, park etc

Agreed, also if Fergie wants to play Park in Milan, it doesn't matter if he plays now or not, he always comes in whatever the circumstance and gives everything.

Neville might need a game before then though, I'd be surprised if Rafael plays in Milan.

Disagree Ginners old boy, Platt Fields causes mayhem with his headless chicken type charging about, leading to comical errors for others to profit from.

sorry uncle #@&%! but youre wrong on this one. attacking wise we have better options, parks best when we need a winger who will track back. i doubt fulham will leave their half. nani's trickery is needed.

Neville is more likely to create a goal than Rafael. Not more likely to score one mind...

VDS

Rafael
Ferdinand
Evans
Evra

Park
Carrick
Scholes
Nani

Giggs
Ronaldo



Hard to say but we need to shift the Fulham defence around out of the comfort zone they've carried with them on the road, and the movement was the best it's been for a while at Derby albeit the opposition wasn't up to much.

Stick Berbatov and Rooney into that XI (for Nani and Scholes) and that'll be Inter away for me right now.

We'll have to agree to disagree, for now.
