I think we play warnock left back and riise left midfield, with crouch and kuyt up front. Gerrard right midfield

 

What would you go for ?

I'd go for Gonzalez at LM with Kuyt and Bellamy up front. However, I think there's a good chance Rafa may go with your suggestion.

I hope Luis plays. The man for the big occassion.

I wouldn't want to see Garcia playing in midfield at Old Trafford. Maybe as a forward off Crouch or Kuyt but not as someone who is expected to retain possession in midfield and protect Riise defensively, as its a sure thing that Riise will be targeted by Ferguson.

I'd do this

 

Bellamy..Gerrard...Momo...Riise

......Kuyt.....Crouch

 

Torn between Momo and Alonso. Momo just shades it for me right now.

 

Not a chance in hell that Xabi won't play. Would be insane to leave him out.

I don't see Gerrard and Momo as a balanced pairing. Rafa has never tried those two together in CM (and for good reason).

 

Xabi is the "brains" of the team. You want his composure at Old Trafford of all places.

the left side is going to be vital on Sunday. It's got to be solid first and foremost because we have been torn apart down that side the last two premiership games.

I think Rafa might play Warnock and Riise to give us some defensive solidity against Ronaldo.

I think we need someone we can rely on at left midfield, riise for me defiantely. Espeically with the form ronaldo is in at the minute

 

Warnock always does a great job defensively at left back, I would have him left back and riise ahead of him

 

I would either play gerrard right with crouch and kuyt or maybe just crouch if kuyt is still struggling a bit with gerrard in the middle with xabi and momo and garcia or pennant wide right.

 

The weakest part of their team is central midfield we should be able to dominate the midfield on Sunday and get plenty of the ball

I would agree normally. Just not sure Xabi is playing well enough at the moment to be honest. He should be a lot more influential than he is currently. I honestly think he plays too deep at times.

 

On form, I'd still pick Momo, as he can cover the gaps easier than Xabi; the gaps that Gerrard will inevitably leave open.

Xabi's form is getting there. I thought Momo was out of sorts in the games leading up to his injury.

Perhaps we're better doing something like this...?

 

............Alonso..... Momo

Bellamy.......Gerrard...........Riise

................Kuyt or Crouch

On form Xabi is still our best central mid atm, he's had games where he showed glimpse of his marshalling of the midfield, while Momo's struggled since he came back from injury and Gerrard's just completely out of form

 

He can play better, it's a matter of consistency for him atm. And I agree, he plays too deep at times, so much more damaging when allowed freedom up the ground

i'd feel a lot more comfortable with didi in the side against manu. can't see how this team is not gonna be kicked around like we've been virtually everytime we've played them under rafa.

Even if Robbie is so injured he can't play then he must be on the bench, just so he can do a warm up and show the mancs his 5 times fingers salute :bleh:

he should bring along his champions league and league medals to really rub it in.....oh wait...
