my thoughts too on rsc?????

 

[Blue Coop]

Rather than a 4-5-1 with Bellamy on his own.

I think we should go with a 4-3-3 and let the wingers play right up the pitch.

Are we forgetting that United's midfield is probably the worst in the Top 6.

Given

Richards, Toure, Lescott, Bridge

De Jong Barry

Ireland (Hasn't he said he will be fit?)

Shauny, Bellamy/Cruz, Bellamy/Petrov (Depending if Cruz is fit)

 

[Citizen_Blue]

Wouldn't play Petrov as he doesn't work hard enough without the ball, but could be devastating comin on against tired legs. I'd go 441 & give Ireland a free role.

I'd go with that

 

[Bluefinn]

We definetly still have a good enough squad to get something out of the game. Especially now when everyone has more to prove and an us-vs.them attitude. If we had RSC I would be confident getting atleast 1point. Ireland needs to play well and not watch the game go by. If Bellamy doesn't perform and Ireland isnt playing or isnt performing, then we are in trouble.

£100 million worth of attacking talent out, but to me this still looks a quality team.

This

Its a pretty solid team

 

[hertsblue]

As Utd have come from behind in thier last 2 matches thanks to 1) soft penalty and 2) soft freekick i think Hughes needs to be clever in his pre match press conference and drop the line in about the ref being strong.

 

[Nelly's Left Foot]

"Are we forgetting that United's midfield is probably the worst in the Top 6."

Opinions eh? It might be missing a great creative talent but it sure as hell works well. Ask Spurs. It has extremely hard working players who give you very little time to play and if you are not on your best game they can over run you. Players like Park,Fletcher and Anderson are really dislikeable but can do the spoiling job very well.

This
Pains me to say it but Fletcher has grown into his role very well. If only he got booked for say the 5th or 6th foul, it may stop him making 20+ in the game. Just have to be very very careful about given soft free kicks away near the area as we saw what Giggs did at Spurs

City can still win with this line up. Definitely need to give Weiss a run since he proved last week what we can do to rag defenders. A City win with so many people out it will send a larger statement then last Saturday.

The problem is holding the ball up front. We'll have to keep possession very well.

They may have to play evans because camel gob is stuggling to get fit...if so i think we should unleash Weiss on them after how he made evans look a complete twat for slovakia against NI.
