Man Utd v Aston Villa [R]

[RobB]

Phillips, Laursen, Delaney, Hendrie and probably Berger all missing. I would like to see Hughes partner Mellberg at the back with DLC at right back. I`m expecting Solano to play but he may be unsettled with this Liverpool link.

Djemba will probably come in since O`Leary will play a 5 man midfield (although he`ll call it a 4-3-3). If Solano is left out Berson will probably play aswell, but we may not have enough players to fill the bench if he does, Taylor, Ridgwell, Cahill and Moore; only four, with about 20 EPL starts between them and none of them midfielders so O`Leary will have to play Nobby even if his heads not right.

Hopefully we`ll get away with a 2 nil loss, hopefully Ronaldo and Keane are out for them otherwise it`s going to be 4 or 5. It`s a Sky match so definite defeat and if we are going to attract Baros we`ve got to pack the midfield and get McCann, Barry and Djemba digging at their midfield so we don`t look to hopeless and get overrun. The only way I could see a win is if we were to bore them to death for 89 mins and sneaked a late corner.

Realistic score: 4-0: Rooney, RVN, Ronaldo and Scholes (who always scores against us). Optimistic score: 0-0. Very optimistic score: 0-1 Ridgewell (90).

I can't see us scoring & I only hope it's not a thrashing. Our squad is awful and having been at VP last week, I can honestly say that we were outplayed by a limited Bolton side. Still could be worse, we could be offering £6M for an injury prone striker who doesn't score many goals...erm hang on!!

we lost ..we missing many player ..and why solano not play all the match !!

go to hell djemba :mad: i told you he seck player ..

[Big Boss]

why barry play in left back !! this big mistake ..we lost him in play maker and good pass from left winger ..good match from Ridgewell and Sorensen ..
we need quickly contract with new striker and Steed Malbranque ..
and why can seel berson !!he not play many match ..

I think the game and the result showed we deperately need some pace in our attack and creativity in midfield. Baros is a must and I`d let Solano go if it meant getting Baros in. At least if Solano went we`d be able to bring in a winger to give us some width. Nobby plays very narrow these days, a creative midfielder is needed in the centre, to play alongside McCann.

Overall the 1-0 loss is not the worst result considering its game two. We`ve got four games now which we could get 8 or 10 points from so avoiding a thrashing was the priority. Ridgewell played well which is a bonus, since Laursen could be out for 4 or 5 months. We need the other injuries to clear up and I can see us winning our next two away to Portsmouth and at home to Blackburn.

Why even try to analyze? Not a single player of ours would make it to the ManUSA squad.
