8 wins and 2 draws from 10, and Carrick now back in the middle
we've played some fantastic attacking football and been very solid at the back in the main some uncharacteristic £#%&! ups at the back at Goodison once Everton got on top of Giggs and moved up as a team in the 2nd half, and getting caught out in cruise mode against an excellent adventurous Hull team should not detract from that anyway, for me the team virtually picks itself against Arsenal, and that means Rafael at full-back where he's been fantastic. his confidence to keep wanting the ball, keep getting involved and not being scared off by the odd positional error is very very good to see. the only choice to make, given Carrick and Fletcher in midfield, is whether it'll be Nani, Giggs or Park. I'd choose Giggs personally, for his undoubted class and big game experience, and for the options he brings as well. VDS Rafael Ferdinand Vidic Evra Fletcher Carrick Giggs Ronaldo Rooney Berbatov |

We should be getting at them, they're shite at the back.
.................................VDS Neville........Rio.........Vidic..............Evra Ronaldo......Fletcher.....Carrick........Park ..........Rooney.......Berbatov I'd play Park due to the fact that I believe Arsenal's biggest threat will be down the right hand side if Walcott is fit. |

Rafa should start for me. Arsenal aren't generally a team that that are always looking to beat the full backs and get balls in, so I don't think any defensive naivety he might have will be too much of a problem. And if we go with Carrick, Fletch and Ando his attacking prowess makes up somewhat for the loss of a proper wide midfielder, and takes some of the pressure off Evra.
Midfield's a toughie too though. Anderson has to play for me, and was rested on tuesday with this game in mind imo. And Carrick too obviously. You can't leave out Fletch either as he's been brilliant lately, and usually is against Arsenal, but so has Nani. And we all know that Fergie has a fondness for using Park in these big away games, so he has to come into the equation too. Some very tough decisions to be made there. Rest of the team picks itself, obviously. And I too have a horrible feeling we're going to lose. You'd think it was a decent time to play Arsenal as they're in shit form and missing a few players, but I hate playing teams at what's supposed to be the 'perfect time'. Always seems to backfire. |

Yeah I don't buy into this 'perfect time' %@#$&!s either. Wenger has lost it, both first choice strikers out, shite at the back blah blah blah. They will be well up for tomorrow. We can't afford to give the ball away willy nilly like we did first half on wednesday night. We are good enough to win there but I have a bad feeling. |

No one going for Tevez to start?
Me neither, he's been out of sorts... so I hope he comes on & scores the winner tomorrow, just can't start him at the moment with his inability to pass early & trying so desperately hard. VDS 2 Weeks - supposedly definitely back... Rio Vidic Evra Carrick Anderson Ronaldo Rooney Giggs Berbatov Might seem a bit strong dropping Fletcher but considering he rested Anderson the other night I can see him starting. & he's done really, really well against the Gooners when he's played. Need that bite & class as well, Fletchers long range passing is far too easy to read & he still dallies a bit. Which brings me onto Giggs... he'll inevitably get pushed inside to where Rooney should be, Rooney will get pushed to the left wing & we'll all wish Nani could make the right choices & not be a £#%&!ing #@&%!. A talented, enigmatic #@&%! but still a #@&%!. & not to be trusted starting away to Arsenal. We'll rely on Ronaldo to get through the middle, the side will be unbalanced but luckily Arsenal are playing shit & will poo themselves with Ronnie & Berbatov & their midfield is woefully shy of tracking back. Should be a tight-ish win, probably 2-0 I think with a Ronaldo brace for a change. |

I'd like to see:
Foster/VDS (I don't really think it'll make much difference) Whoever's fit!---Rio---Vidic---Evra Ronaldo--Carrick---Fletcher---Park Rooney---Berbatov I personally think that is our strongest team. I know that Nani will probably one day go on to be a superstar but now isn't his time. |

Giggs won't be playing, there's no way he will start. And he shouldn't either given his performance on Wednesday. |
