Where's the fishal team thread?

I have thoughts, feelings and musings re tomorrow's line up and I certainly don't have the character or authority to start an OFFICIAL thread.

Why would you leave Hernandez out of this game then?

I wouldn't, it's just the side I think the manager will go with.

I'd like to see a 4-4-2 with Berbatov & Chico up front.

is a good question. assuming just one recognised striker, neither berbatov or hernandez can drop in really, so maybe tactically just using berbatov with support through off the sides gives city's centre backs a bigger problem than the threat of hernandez in behind, given that they're likely to be deep and packed full of defensive midfielders anyway. possible ferguson might save berbatov to play with rooney at newcastle, but more likely not i reckon...

I've heard rumblings after the trainging session this morning that ornament head is starting ahead of VDS. Please no!!!

He played well against Fulham. He wouldn't let us down if selected.

He's no VDS, but few are. I can't think of many times he's made massive Gomes-style gaffs and we've performed well with him in the side on numerous occasions. He was never gonna cut it as No 1 here, but as far as back-up goes, he's never seriously let us down.

I'd go with this side.

Would be surprised if Fergie goes 2 vs 3.

Is Rafael okay to play?
