Re: Tactics Vs Un*ted

i hope you are right it will make it easier playing against 10 men with no keeper

We should just play our natural game and not worry too much about what the rags will do. Same team as yesterday for me with the exception of Richards in for Zaba.

Going to be hard to predict what team Slur Alex goes with ... my best guess will be:

Jones...Rio....Evans....Evra

Valencia....Scholes...Carrick...Young

........WellHard.....Rooney......

He know they can't defend for toffee when put under pressure so he'll come to try and attack and outscore us.[/quote

Re: Tactics Vs Un*ted

1. Keep the same team as the last few games. No need for a single change (perhaps Micah for Zab at a push maybe?)

2. No Balotelli. No Dzeko. Splitting up Aguero and Tevez would be a pathetic decision.

3. Nullify their wings. Utd are built on wingers and width. Deal with this and they're basically shite. We must do what we did at the swamp - double up, fill in, concentrate like fuck. Those 3 ladyboys Valencia/ Young/ Nani only need space once and they can be devastating.

4. Keep 11 men on the pitch. We have a better first 11 than them.

5. Mark properly and win our battles at set pieces and corners.

6. Play the game, not the name.

This quote is very worthy of a tactics thread ;)

Glad to be of assistance in such a high powered and intellectual debate.:-)

Nobody fancy Mario for this? can be a liability at times but after all he kick started 6-1 and he's kept his head down for the last couple of week! maybe impact player IF we need him

Id go with:

Tevez

Nasri Aguero Silva

Barry Dejong

Clichy Kompany Lescott Richards

Hart

Reckon an early goal in this and they will crumble, not to a 6-1 scoreline but im thinking a win by 3+ goals here, they're rocking big time and we just need to finish them off!!

4-1

Re: Tactics Vs Un*ted

obviously united will stick up on their frequent 4-2-2 formation ... we need to flank them up on the middle and short passes on aguero with winger either tevez or silva. its the best way to counter a 4-2-2

 

[mcfc-mark]

Imo, play Richards without Milner and we can kiss goodbye to the title. They'll tear us to peices.

Zab plays for me. Need to nulify their threat down the wings. Richards bombing on could leave us exposed.

But Richards bombing on is what you need. You NEED to go all guns blazing at United because they do not like high pressure/in your face football.

Playing NDJ & Barry should give Kompany & Lescott added protection should Clichy & Richards enjoy raping Rafael & Evra.
