So tonight is the big one (well until next weekend). A draw will against Celtic will see us through to the next round of the champions league with a game to spare. A defeat and Celtic will top the group in front of a home crowd galvanised by the 3-2 defeat we inflicted on them several weeks ago. This game is big and we MUST not lose, for if we do it will be a long ride home.
News emanating from the Utd camp this morning is that Gary Neville will be rested, as he is still struggling with a calf problem, an injury that may require surgery in the near future. Neville has very much been an unsung hero this season. His experience in defence, coupled with his ability to play that killer ball has meant our right flank has been inspiration for many of our goals. Wes Brown is likely to be his repla
The other change is expected to be Heinze in at left-back replacing the on-form Evra. I have confidence in both these changes; however I think we could also give Fletcher a game replacing Giggs. The Scot has really impressed me this season and I’m sure he will be really up for it against Celtic. It was this fixture that saw Giggs pull his hamstring las time around and we must avoid any injuries before Chelsea travel to us on Sunday!
Insane has suggested the following line-up in the forum:
“Fergies gonna rest couple of players who i think would be giggs and Nev.
My team would be:
VDS
Brown Rio Monster Evra
Fletch Scholes Carrick Ronnie
Saha Rooney
Subs: Heinze, Giggs, Nev.
May be the subs can be brought on later if required.”
Whilst Radio Deadon has suggested replacing Evra with Heinze in the avove line-up.
It seems that all are in agreement that we must really go for it tonight and if we grab a couple of goals, then rest key personnel.
On the football manager front. Thanks for making me aware that Marcello has recently moved to Real Madrid. See, Football Manager is a great indicator of class. If any of you find any great players on there, be sure to post a comment here!
So tonight is a big one and I will predict a 1-0 win for United, I think we will just sneek it. Come on you Reds!
P.S Thanks to Insane for posting this great article on Utd. Sums us up quite well i think.
