I doubt Valencia will play after playing in Chile last night. Stick Nani in there and that looks about right. O'Shea for Brown?

Is Rooney fit? If not, is Owen fit?!?

VDS

De Laet
Vidic
Evans
Evra

Nani
Scholes
Anderson
Giggs

Berbatov
Rooney/Owen/Welbeck (whoever is fit)

O' Shea will play, i just prefer Brown. Nani for Valencia would be fine by me, particularly after his goal last night.

Not sure i'd make 2 changes to the defence?

Aye.

And are both twins fit?If so, either of them at RB to add some attacking impotus.

So many factors these days - who played midweek, how far they travelled, who's fit, who'll be rested with 2 big games to come, who looks good in training...

I have no bloody clue.

Dunno about that against Bolton. You know they'd just stick Davies on them all day.

Are you Mike Phelan?

s'pose so.

We should be going at these £#%&!ers at home though.

Rio has just played 2 games in 5 days, the chances of him starting are slim.

I want to see more of De Laet. If he can't start against Bolton at home, he's never going to get a game.

Bolton will play with one man up front so defence wont be the problem. Midfield will be key and hopefully Scholes will find the clever pass to unlock them.

I would go with De Laet ahead of a Da Silva in this game, think he'd handle the physical side a bit better.

Is Evans fit?

Oh i agree, just wouldn't necassarily select a team that helps their few strengths

Apparantly Obertan may get a game. Well according to a typically quoteless story on tribalfootball.

I personally would rest Giggsy until Liverpool, he's that vital for us.

Give Wazza Saturday and Wednesday off, with his mrs having the baby and not wanting to rush him back. Knowing our £#%&!ing look she'll have it next weekend

VDS
O'Shea
Rio
Vidic
Evra

Nani
Scholes
Fletcher
Giggs

Berbatov
Owen

Suppose we have to take into account the CL game mid-week... in £#%&!ing Russia - and then the Dippers next weekend.

Get right at these @#%&!s & take Giggs & Scholes off after an hour hopefully.

Too important to win this one too £#%&! about too much, particularly after dropping points against Brum. Can rest a coupla players in midweek but what point is there in saving players for the dippers if we drop points this week? If players are injured obviously they should not play but giggsy can play this wekend and next quite happily.

If Rooney injured there is no point in risking him, simple as and tbh we can beat Bolton at home without him.

Giggs i can understand but atm he's that important to us, letting him have two weeks off and allow him to come back might be the turning point for us to win the game.

I'd play:

VDS
O'Shea
Vidic
Evans
Evra
Nani
Carrick
Anderson
Parky
Berba
Owen

Mid-week, given the travel etc we can probably go without a couple or at least rest them. The Vermin are in a slightly more precarious position in the CL so will have to go hard in their game. I'd certainly play Giggs this weekend after otherwise he's being asked to just play in a high intensity game without getting his form back straight away. Not the biggest challenge he's faced but like any player, being in form you want to play.

Reports on the BBC site are saying that No Forehead @#%&!s groin injury might be worse than expected as well. Fingers crossed.

We said similar things before Brum and dropped 2 points. i agree if he is injured he shouldn't play. I'd give Giggs a game though, then rest him for russia.
