Re: Tactics Vs Un*ted

Their team is sh*t at defending, what makes them think they have the ability to park the bus?

Re: Tactics Vs Un*ted

I think that after yesterday they know they won't be able to trust their defense with parking the bus. Expect them to go all out.

Re: Tactics Vs Un*ted

Sir will go 4-5-1.

He will pack the midfield with Rooney up front on his own, hoping to catch us on the break via Nani and Valencia on the wings. Scholes wil sit back and be given a free role in the middle to spray the balls wide to the wingers and over the top to Rooney. He will pack the area just outside their 18 yard box, trying to stop the quick short passes between Sergio, Tevez, Nasri and Silva.

Don't forget, we need a win. United will be happy with a draw.

PS. The only change I would consider from yesterday is Richards in for Zab.(I love Zab) Just to counter the pace of their wingers.

I agree, this is exactly what I would be thinking if I were him. If they play Valencia and Nani it will pin back Richards and Clichy meaning that we'll be very narrow up front. Then they can stick Scholes and Carrick in front of Ferdinand and Johnny Evans and make it very difficult to play through them. I think the only selection question for Mancini is does he go for Barry, De Jong with Yaya supporting the attack or does he go for Barry, Yaya and keep Tevez on the pitch.

I hope he goes with Barry, Yaya.

Re: Tactics Vs Un*ted

They will do what they normally do against us and thats commit 50 niggly fouls before anyone is booked and then carry on doing it until the next one is booked.

This is a game for warriors so we cant play both Nasri and Silva. De Jong has to play

Re: Tactics Vs Un*ted

Tevez has to play. The script has been written for him.

Re: Tactics Vs Un*ted

Slur Phallex will probably play a midfield five of Webb, Clattenburg, Mason, Probert and either Atkinson or Halsey.
