Team v Spurs -The Official Thread

Eddy (Krusty if he's not fit)
Simpson
Rio
Vidic
Evra
Carrick
Hargo
Scholes
Giggs
Ronnie*
Tevez

Obviously if Saha is somehow fit I'd pick him, probbly instead of Carrick.















*Yeah I know, that's for effers, Nani really.

Sigh, it won't matter. 0-2 to Spurs, the Jol revival starts now.

Pole in Goal
O'Shea
Wes
Vidic
Evra

Carrick
Fletcher
Scholes

Me Nani
Tevez
Giggs

I'm assuming the worst re midweek injuries and that Hargreaves still has sore knees after the derby.

However Saha to come off the bench and miss a few chances.

I really wish I hadn't got of bed this morning.

that would be pretty much the side except for brown instead of simpson, cannot see fergie taking any chances.

I agree he won't do it but I'd prefer Simpson's better ability going forward in a home game we HAVE to win.

Do you think Simpson will start then ?


edit - um, nevermind.

I've been pretty much bang on the money so far . Although I predicted a defeat against Pompey and we came away with a point. I felt positively gay after that!

My god, are we in agreement? I am hoping for Saha on the bench and would hope that Fergie realises picking Pique AND O' Shea is pointless and a waste of a place on the bench.

Strange having the cup final at this time of year. It's a must win for us. Anything else and we're well and truly doomed!

Not exactly but you'd have to admit, if we don't win it's gonna be hard to win a PL . I really think it is a must win, just in terms of getting a bit of confidence into the squad.

If we don't win this, the season will be all about stopping all things Scouse.

Smurf, ease your scouse title winning fears because it just ain't gonna happen.

The excuses are already beginning to roll out .

So, I''m never sure about this thread, is it what we think it'll be or what we'd like it to be?

I always post the team I want, others post the team they think will be played. Thewre's no fixed rules on this, though giving your own opinion I think makes more sense than second guessing Fergie.

In that case,

Team I'd like:

------------------------VDS------------------------
SIMPSON--------RIO-----------VIDIC------------EVRA

--------------HARGREAVES------CARRICK------------

-------------------------SCHOLES-------------------

-----------NANI----------------------GIGGS----------

------------------------TEVEZ-----------------------

Team I think he'll pick:

-------------------------VDS------------------------
BROWN-----------RIO-----------VIDIC----------EVRA

----------------HARGREAVES-----CARRICK------------

--------------------------SCHOLES-------------------

-----------NANI---------------------GIGGS-----------

------------------------TEVEZ------------------------

Team I fear he'll pick:

-----------------------KRUSTY-----------------------
BROWN-----------VIDIC----------SILVESTRE-----EVRA

-------------------O'SHEA-------CARRICK------------

--------------------------SCHOLES-------------------

-------------NANI-------------------GIGGS-----------

--------------------------TEVEZ----------------------


Hopefully the injured players (Rio, Hargreaves, VDS) will be ok. I think they all will. If Saha is back, then great, but I wouldn't start him. Bench for me.

I can't see any reason why he'd pick Simpson or Pique ahead of Brown and O'Shea because he hasn't done so so far. I doubt he'll take that sort of risk against a side with the attacking options of Spurs.

saha and anderson to feature this sunday, gary neville out for a further two weeks with a thigh strain.

Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that Louis Saha could be on the bench for Sunday's must-win clash with Tottenham at Old Trafford.

The French striker has not played since the Champions League semi-final defeat to AC Milan on 2 May because of a knee complaint which resulted in surgery over the summer.

Saha has now completed two full weeks training and is contention for a spot on the subs bench this weekend.
