Formation Against the Rags

[BusterPhillips]

They will line up 451, looking to control midfield and for Valencia to feed Rooney with crosses from the right (assuming valencia will play as he'll skin Garrido).

What's the best formation to play, do we stick to 442 where we've had a bit of joy recently or do we go for a more pragmatic 3x dmc approach and look to control the game?

The last 3 games we have played 4-4-fucking-2. We have scored 14 goals, conceded 2, why would we possibly want to change that record and change a winning side!!!

Bridge will be fit.

And yes, we should stick with 442. It's them that should be worried and changing tactics accordingly, not us. We are the ones that have scored 14 goals in our last 3 games, not them.

I really can't see us playing with 2 wide players against a 5 man rag midfield.

If we go 442 then its gonna be hard for dejong & barry to control the midfeild against carrick, park and fletcher.

I want us to play 442 but reckon we could concede possession.

Good news about bridge, damn we've been unlucky with defensive injuries.

4,4,2. Bridge for Garrido.

Tevez to come deep and act as AM/ST
