spot on.

Not the time or the place, I agree, suffice to say that Park and Fletcher are appearing in and performing well in United's highly successful first team regularly, but Diaby invariably can't get a spot in a struggling Arsenal team.

I bow to your greater knowledge

We should've bought McBride while we had the chance too.

I'd be happy with that, then as i say, anyone who needs a rest can get one on satdee.

Welbeck is an interesting choice.

More mental than interesting.

Not good enough yet.

Slightly surprised he wasn''t there in place of Berbatov really. Anyway, looked a bit out of his depth against spurs but his time'll come.

ronaldo and nani played 120 minutes on sunday.

we can win without them. was going to say tosic but we need more of a goal threat so i went for wellbeck.

rio played 120 minutes but him and evra can get away with it due newcastle having the attacking threat of a pub side and them being defenders.

ronaldo and nani deserve a break. the game at the weekend is much harder and more important imo.

I hope he makes it. He is a bit Bambi on ice though.

I don't disagree that Ronaldo needs a break. I wouldn't start Welbeck though.

I'm with Marlo on this one. Wellbeck (or Tosic) to be involved please, rest Ronaldo and Nani. One or both can be on the bench if need be.

Unless we're scared to death of Geremi, Ryan Taylor and the like.

was the only option unless we put fletcher in the midfield 3 and then put giggs uptop with berbs and rooney.

i included wellbeck for his goal threat tbh.

Neither will I if Fergie rests him, to be honest only him and his staff really know.

Is Tevez injured or summat?

If I was resting Ronaldo I would pick Nani.

120 mintes on Sunday shouldn't be too much given how little he has played and that he is naturally very fit.

The thing that swayed me on Ronaldo is with everyone else winning last night then a win tonight nearly as good as kills them off for me.

Rest them on Saturday to be fresh for Inter.
