Louis Saha set to start

[chicoazul]

Ive been waiting for Yakubu to be [Poor language removed] since we signed him so I can say told you so.

Ignore the trillion goals he's scored since he's been here, he's [Poor language removed] and will be sold to Spurs next season.

Who would you drop in midfield?

Give me your five man midfield in this game and I'd tell you who I'd drop.

Figure:

.....................Neville.......................

Pienaar......Fellaini....Osman......Arteta



...then I'd drop either Neville or Osman and probably Neville.

 

[Brownie]

I'm not sure to be honest. Against Newcastle he kept turning and trying to run at defenders, eventually losing the ball.

That's just one game though, he kept laying it off and running into space against Liege from what I remember. He's technically gifted and has a good first touch, I'm sure he could do it.

I think your talking about this, very classy.

Isn't exactly what I remember, but I swear he's done that kinda chest-turn-shoot [Poor language removed] loads of times. He's a bit good by the way, inny. In fact, pretty sure he's our best player. COME ON LOUIS.

I'm not sure Fellaini and Osman/Arteta would be able to handle it to be honest.

I have actually changed my mind, I'd happily go 4-4-2. I thought Utd had Scholes and Carrick available. They don't, according to Utd fans it's likely to be Anderson and Fletcher.

I think our midfield could compete with those two, I don't think we'd have to have an out and out ball winner though. I'd say either Neville or Castillo have to be in there, someone disiplined.

Arteta---Osman/Fellaini---Neville/Castillo---Pienaar

That's what I'd go like if it was 4-4-2. One defensive, one attacking. I don't think Moyes will though, I think he'll go 4-5-1 to be honest.

I'm not sure that they'd be able to either.

But, since I don't think a 5 man midfield would make a huge amount of difference against the class of ManU, go for broke and put two up top and try to take the game to them.

Emphasis on the word "try."

I'd give Moyes big props just for starting out that way.

 

[chicoazul]

Trying to take the game to them is the way forward instead of playing for a 0-0 hoping to spawn a goal from a corner or something.

 

[Neiler]

I think we need to get at them. Saha hasnt impressed me at all yet i hope he starts tomorow.

 

[del78]

I hope Vaughan starts also, he derserves a chance. We really need to work hard off the ball tomorrow to stand any chance of getting anything from the game. These two up front would do a decent job in that respect.

 

[Bluelass]

Pienaar is starting to make things tick again in midfield so I'm hoping that he will make the difference from the awful stuff we've been playing to keeping the ball and actually doing something with it.

Every time we play football we produce chances if not always a goal. Things will change and we will start winning games.
Defence needs to buck up their ideas starting with Howard.

I'm not going tomorrow, can't face the stress but have given my ticket to someone who will shout as much as I do.
I'm going down the coast for a blow on a windy beach somewhere. Stress free!

Come on you Blues

 

[Sharpattack]

He needs a goal

 

[neville]

Come on United

All the best to louis though top lad


Whats his taste in pasties ?

 

[chicoazul]

Defo and Sayer Ham and Cheese lover Neville.

My thoughts exactly mate. Whenever we have beaten any of the sky 4 we have done it by attacking for 90 mins. Yes we are open to counter attacks, but we also stand more chance of scoring. A 2 man strike combo of any 2 from Anichebe/Saha/Vaughan/Yak will do for me.

Personally for this match I would start saha and Vaughan to run the defence ragged then bring on Vic and Yak to push them around and piss them right off for the last half hour.
