That midfield makes me feel unhappy with a degree of building anger.

same as sunday

none of the back 4 broke sweat

the prince is good enough to walk through games

roo and wellers are young and fit enough


if we're going to roate, wait till villa on sunday

giggs will almost certainly start in place of scholes, i'd have thought.

Minimal rotation I think, was as easy a 90mins as you could have hoped for on Sunday...

DDG

Rafael
Smalling
Evans
Evra

Valencia
Jones
Carrick
Nani

Rooney
Hernandez

I'd stick to the same team if it was me, but that's why I'm not the best manager that's ever lived. Trust in Ferg'.

(Unless he plays Park in centre mid with Rafael, then he can get to £#%&!)

He shouldn't play Park at all.

I read on Skytext this morning that Scholes and Rio are almost certainly gonna be rested.

I hope if Giggs is playing it's wide, he has not been great in the middle recently.

there shouldn't be any £#%&!ing about tonight. Strongest team, get the 3 points. Start pissing around once we've won the £#%&!ing thing

Think Scholes and Rio both struggle to play 2 games in 3 or 4 days which might mean they get rotated. i think Nani should come in for the diving @#%&!, not least as a punishment but also 'cos Nani needs a game.

As to a strongest team, we don't actually have a striker in form to partner Rooney do we?

You have to rest Scholes and Rio, they're ancient.

We've got Cleverley who can take Scholes place, and one of smalling/jones in cb, id pick Smalling.

This is the time I think will get picked.

DDG
Jones
Smalling
Evans
Evra (no rest for evra ever)

Carrick
Giggs
Cleverley
Park

Hernandez
Rooney

Fancy Cleverley to start tonight instead of Scholes.

Dave

Rafael
Evans
Rio/Smalling
Evra

Valencia
Carrick
Cleverley
Young

Hernandez
Rooney

if cleverley and smallers are the only changes then i can handle that. dicking about with the team would be £#%&!ing stupid though, these players have never been fresher - not one of them looks £#%&!ed!

By my reckoning, Berbs needs two more appearances to get a medal if we win the league.

On the bench, at least, tonight ??

should get those appearances if that's the case, six games to go, plenty.

Got a bad ramoners style feeling about tonight. Can see the pie heads getting a last minute winner. Only posting it here because it's served me well in the past (when I get it wrong).

Also more worried with balotelli not playing for the taches. Less infighting, more cohesion etc.

Thought we'd practically won it after Sunday and I suspect these concerns are simply my minds way of punishing me for celebrating too early.

Bear with me.

5 starts, 5 sub appearances, 7 goals, scored the winner in his last league game against Stoke on Jan 31st. His form this season has not been poor.
