[New York Red]

That's the day we play them.

 

Let's assume we are are pretty close with them at the top, they may still have a game in hand, and it's looking like a game we cannot afford to lose.

 

Based on what they did today, what kind of line-up would you play? Who would you focus on?

 

For a start I'd try to get Rooney sent off.

 

I'd have Masch make Ronaldo miserable too.

 

And I wouldn't play Sami. They are too quick for him.

[gns]

Rooney sent off? At Old Trafford?

 

Unless he actually nuts Mike Reilly (I presume Ferguson will have pre-booked him for the game) I cant see him getting much more than a quiet word no matter what he does.

[Billy Dane]

Play Kuyt up front on his own?

[New York Red]

Not my pick...

 

I'm thinking this.

 

Carra--Skrtel--Agger--Insua

 

----------Masch--Xabi---------

 

------Kuyt--Stevie--Riera-----

 

------------Nando-------------

 

I really would go after Rooney. He's due for a complete meltdown, and something always happens on their ground.

it also depends on how we are playing leading up to the game, how they are playing, where we are in the league, injuries, suspensions. there is a long way to go between now and then

Agreed Wayne. But there was an awful lot to learn from that game today. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in a panic.

 

I thought Berbatov was rubbish until the end.

 

I think we could tear their midfield to shreds based on what they had today.

 

Kim is fast as f*ck and makes me very nervous.

 

Their set peices are excellent.

 

Fletcher is so out of his depth.

 

Evra needs to be kept under very close watch.

 

I think Riera can murder Neville if he is playing.

 

Masch needs to play the game of his life and torment Ronaldo.

 

I'd hope Skrtel and Carra can send Rooney over the top and melt down.

 

Nando and Stevie to work their magic.

[oakie bob]

go there, be positive and lets get teh 3 points we deserve after the last few years there and get out................or sign Murphy, ger a free kick let him take it

[RP]

Who's Kim?

[Gerrardrules]

Go there with knives between our teeth and have a never surrender attitude! That match wont be about good football and nice tricks etc. It will be about dirty tricks and steppping over the line for what is needed on the pitch. We're going to war on that day.

[carrafan]

Need to make sure that we dont throw away the league by then.

 

 

Everton first.

[New York Red]

Who's Kim?

 

Park. F*ck.

 

Wrong prolific Korean name.

[Ben 23]

Cracking five days this could be.
