Check your bollox, Is he not ruled out?


I've just checked and there are no lumps or anything suspect ... oh, oh I see. Nah he's not ruled out just yet, because Sky says it deffo doesn't make it true!!! If he plays it means the appeal has gone in and the club are backing him, (rightly or wrongly) by the 6pm deadline tonight! Might seem unlikly granted but I'd love it SAY LOVE IT if it happens


Agreed. Just because it's in print doesn't mean it is true and correct..... I'll believe it when I see it in Black and White ...

I'd be worried that using DeJong would be too defensive considering we need to win by two? I'd bring him on when we go three up.


Thats very optomistic imo.... its Anfield btw, if we concede first we are fucked!


It doesnt matter where it is, United regularly beat teams at home playing wank football because people fear going there, I believe we should give anfield as little respect as we gave old trafford in the 1-6 as we have faith in our much better side.


We gave Old Trafford alot of respect, which is why we went in 1-0 at half time. Circumstances helped us achieve 1-6. Im not saying be afraid of Anfield, i'm saying pick the right team for the circumstances. We dont need to go chasing the game from the first minute.

Barry can push forward when needed for a 5 man attack?


That would be a decent side for me but AJ in there or the Spurs 11 would be good also. As the spectre of Kolarov has been invoked though, I'm starting to get that sickening feeling...

We could have been 3-1 up at half time, we gave them no respect at all, the red card just assisted the inevitable. I hate it when teams go nervously to a ground, we have the best team outside of spain, we should always play as such no matter where we are.

Just had a tenner on at 15-1 , Adam to commit four fouls before he gets booked. Talk about taking money from children....

I'd rather not see Kolorov looking after Downing, he may not put great balls in, but he would be able to walk them in if Kolorov was his only obstacle.

Silva was complaining on Sunday of lack of support in midfield & begging Aguero to drop back in order to get the passing game going.


If we are going to pass them to death then AJ better not be on the field.

Dzeko is quite handy for scrapping with the (3) Liverpool centre-backs, giving Agüero more space.

Fuck them. Just overwhelm them from the jump. Lets just pump in 4 or 5.

Then we can bring on Zabs and DeJong.

ha ha, but why not. Mancini clearly likes the 3-5-2. we have changed to it in alot of games. the 3 at the back allow 1 to jump with carrol and sil leave 2 to deal with the knock downs (which is going to be liverpool's only outlet). liverpool's midfielders will have to sit deep to deal with silva and nasri leaving barry with space and time. don't think liverpool will push their full backs to far forward meaning milner and kolorov will be able to push on. bonus is we will also be able to very easily change to a 442 or 451

Where should I start;

Savic in a 3 man defence against Liverpool... No
Milner dropping to rightback... No
Kolorov In Midfield... No
Kolorov on the pitch at all... No
Barry alone in the centre of the park with only three behind him... No
4 up top in two two's... No
5-1-2-2 formation with half the squad playing out of position... No
Your username... No

Not neccessarily. Two goals would still see us through. If we can pull two goals back v rags with 10 men, we can do it v King Kenny's Klan.

It's upto us whatever the team though. If we start to play like we did early season, they are fucked. If we play like we did first half last week, we are fucked. It's about time we hit form again I recon.


the best one ever! :) :) :)

Don't mind Dzeko playing as I think he'll sart knocking them in regularly again soon but his pass success rate v Spurs was 12 out of 22. AJ won't have had a record like that since he was about 8 years old.
