Who's starting against Chelsea?

He was made to look an oaf by Barca.

Yup. With about 9 others too. Bad night for him, he froze, he'll hopefully learn from it.

As I said earlier, I like the look of that midfield axis, but Hernandez would be the man to miss out and he's been too effective against Chelsea in recent games to be left out, IMO.

------------Carrick

----Anderson ---Giggs

-----Rooney ---------Young

------------Cheech

Bit weird...


fullbacks pushing through the fourth dimension into wingacks and back again obviously...

--------------De Gea----------------

--Smalling----Rio----Evans----Evra--

--------Carrick------Anderson-------

--Valencia-----Rooney------Young--

----------------Pea----------------

main areas of concern are at left back, where evra has been something of a liability of late, and stretching the gap between defence and midfield when pushing forward and allowing them space to play into. which means putting carrick in to get in the way.

there's also the question of who to start on the right - if there was just cole to contend with nani would stand more of a chance with smalling in behind, but with the possibility of mata starting on the left i think it's more likely we'll go with valencia for the extra cover.

Degayers

Smallers
Rioers
Jonsers
Evras

Carrers
Anders
Nanners
Youngers

Rooners
Hernandezers

Plenty of power and pace as big Al Hansen would say, that's the way to beatthe old timers of Chavski.
