The look on Tevez's face makes it so much better. :lol:

 

[Ret KiT]

tevez is a scary character

 

[YoungGun_UK]

Yeah that's definitely one of his strongest points.

Boredom strikes again.

:lmao::lmao: Genius

 

[ninguemsabe]

All i have to say is... WHAT A FANTASTIC GOAL NANI SCORED!!! OMG!:shock::shock:

 

[phrase]

Always knew Nani had a fantastic shot in his amoury and that goal proves it again.He should take more shots now.

Tevez and Rooney are really playing off each other so well now.Tevez actually was a bit slow to read Rooney's backheel pass but he was quick enough to get to it.

Another goal by Rooney to extend his wonderful scoring spree.

I dont know why but Anderson still fails to impress me as a central midfielder.He just does not cut it there honestly.I feel he is better off in the hole or at the wings.He is doing a good job nonetheless but Carrick,Hargreaves and Scholes are the main men in the middle.

Anderson was player of my team (F.C.Porto) before signing for MU, and i can assure you, he is a brilliant player and in 2 or 3 years he will be one of three best players in the world!!

But now in MU he's not playing in his real position, he's not a defensive player, he plays a lot better on the back of forwards, more near the offensive area, not on centre midfield where is playing now...

you gotta be shiting me... anderson was amazing. i was thiniking if he keeps playing like this, does scholes get back in the starting 11, haha

 

[RuneEdge]

Anyone reckon Park will ever get back into the side when he returns on January?
I know its sad but his time is up IMO.

 

[Jamesy]

We'll probably keep him as cover (and I don't like to say it - to sell shirts), but can't see him being a first team regular now. Which is a shame because he's a good player.

Mind you, at this rate Gary Neville might even have a job getting back in!

 

[Dazfeeder]

yeah i agree, Park sells so many shirts in korea, hes nearly royalty over there, but the way we was last season for injuries im sure he will be used, we won the title last season cus we have a great squad, Fletch and O'shea were so important last season

 

[ash]

Yep! I think Brown deserves to keep his place, he has been great. If Brown gets booted on Neville's return, I will be dissapointed even if Gazaa is the captain.

AndErson!!!!! WOW! Lovin' the dude.

Anderson will progress faster, you will benefit in the long run.

 

[phrase]

Gomito,dont get my message wrong mate...Anderson is a good attacking midfielder but not as a central midfielder.I think a diamond shaped midfield with Hargreaves behind him would suit better for Anderson.I might be wrong but thats left to be seen.Scholes will be a big loss for us and Anderson might have to step up a gear now.

I would start Carrick/Fletcher alongside Hargreaves against the Arse.Their midfield is vastly mobile and we need to keep up with that.Hargreaves will have to man-mark Fabregas and not give him room or time to operate.

 

[Jamesy]

I thought Carrick was still injured? If so I'd prefer Hargreaves & O'Shea, with Anderson coming on in the second half. Hopefully Evra's fit as well, as we might need to rely on pace to get them on the break.

Think it will be a good battle on Saturday - they might have a mobile midfield, but we have a turbo charged attack!

ok i hear you, i kinda of thought he was playing in front of owen, but still i guess you right he was playing behind ronnie, nani, rooney and tevez..

i really think we lose too much with oshea in the middle, owen can handle it I beleive, he has an incredible work rate and he constantley is pinging that ball around. Watch him dominate cesc!

 

[bebo]

you lots talk strategy we talk about doughnuts we clearly are not too worried

 

[matherto]

Going OT from the Arsenal game.

I think this needs posting in the thread, just every so often.

Still jump around and celebrate?

 

[RuneEdge]

I dont think I can watch that without getting goosebumps.

 

[the_thing]

always brings a smile to my face.

Thanks for 99 :applause:
(and Matherto for the vid!)

We should most definitely play a 4-2-3-1 against l'arsenal. I would start with Hargo and O'Shea as the two, with Giggs, Ronaldo, Tevez and Rooney in front of them. It's sooo important that Hargo is ready for this one, our style of defense is usually stand off and clog the channels, that will not work very well against Hleb and Fabregas, they're just too good at finding the tiny holes to thread passes through. We need to hurry them all match, so Fletcher will definitely get a run.

60 mins bring on Fletch for one of the DM two, use him and hargo to man mark Cesc all match, Anderson/Nani on for Giggs at same point. This is a big game for Ronaldo too, haven't been so impressed with him this season. His eyes lite up when they're on the break, but other than that he's done very little and looks truly pissed off most of the time. He needs some big performances in big matches if he wants to be rated as one of the best.

Think a 1-1 would suit us...

 

[DJ Doc45]

BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG GAME on Saturday lads! Come on you Red Devils! lets beat the Arse!!!

 

[J79]

i was there that historic night at the nou camp everytime i see it again i get goosebumps and a tear in my eye!

 

[bebo]

good luck lads I expect non-stop action

 

[Metallica]

Bad timing for Scholes to get an injury in such a big game against Arsenal, its going to be intresting who is going to play in the centre of midfield now (surely Hargreaves and someone else) It also appears Saha and Carrick are back so thats a bit of a bonus

good luck lads I expect non-stop action

Thanks and you too!

 

[BobbyBox]

May the best team win - I'm hoping it is a treat to watch. Two of the best teams and two great attacking teams playing eachother.

I do think though if you do play the attacking football you have been playing - we will punish you.

On the other hand I hope our defence can keep up with your attacking might on the break.

I'm excited

 

[phrase]

Always knew Carrick would be fit for tomorrow and I'll take Saha's comeback as a trump card,use it if needed.Gaz Neville is back with the reserves too but not too sure if he is ready for such a big game.

Aside from Mikael Silvestre, Park Ji-Sung, Paul Scholes and Ben Foster, everyone else is fit.Importatant thing is that we do have reasonable covers for these four and that is a big plus for us.

Everyone is talking about entertaining football but Nemanja Vidic is on a mission to help his defence shut out Arsenal.Not too hard bearing in mind we only have conceded 4 goals so far.

My Prediction: Man U 2 - Arsenal 0
C'Mon United!

 

[YoungGun_UK]

the big game is almost here should be amazing i dunno why but i think Ronaldo will be on form for tommorow
