Team v Blackburn - The Official Thread

Who the £#%&! knows what sort of team Fergie will put out, it changes every game. I'd go with summat like this :-

VDS
G Nev(if fit)
Evans
Rio
Senegalese Superman
Nani
Carrick
Fletcher
Ronnie
Berbatov
Rooney

VDS
Rafael
Evans
Rio
Senegalese Superman
Nani
Gibson
Fletcher
Ronnie
Berbatov
Tevez

I have a feeling he may rest one or two with Inter in mind. I'd give Rooney 30mins second half.

Nani and Rooney will defo start

I'm sure he will rest one or two, he does every week after all. I'd like to get Berbatov and Rooney a full game together before Inter and Fergie says he's fully fit.

If Fergie said he was drinking tea I'd still have a sip to check it wasn't gin.

True but Rooney looked sharp as £#%&! the other night so i'll believe it on this occasion.

Unsure who he will play at about right back.

Hmmmm, I'd be surprised if Giggs plays both, though I'd like to see it. Be a bit worried about Rafael playing in Milan, though i'd prefer it to the Irish comedian.

i think giggs will come off against blackburn after 60 odd minutes and be fine for milan. i think rafaels pace will be an advantage in milan

as long as Rooney comes through okay then the team for Tuesday picks itself for me except for Giggs or Scholes alongside Carrick. if Rooney isn't up to starting in Milan then they can both play. harsh on Tevez, but I'd play Tuesday's team against Blackburn as well.

VDS

Rafael
Ferdinand
Evans
Evra

Park
Carrick
Scholes
Ronaldo

Berbatov
Rooney

I'd pick Park ahead of Giggs simply because it'll give more freedom for Ronaldo to switch wings. Giggs' role from the bench is also the more flexible option than Scholes, of course.


now factor in mind games and protecting fitness and freshness and it could be anything - Possebon in midfield would be good to see

It will, whether his inexperience could tell in such a big game and atmosphere I dunno.

I think the 2nd leg is more likely, might will likely play tighter away from home if last season is anything to go by.

With Vidic out of the Inter game, Rio should be protected - Evans & Vidic at the back please - everything else... £#%&! knows. It's a lottery with the squad we have & Fergies decisions
