Kleberson playing in the reserves tonight? Is that good or bad?

IIRC, he was given some time off to go home to Brazil, so SAF probably wants to get him some game action to get back in the flow. He isn't a consistant first team player anyway, so it is probably a good thing that he gets as much playing time as possible.

I would look for Ole to play between a half and 60 minutes

I think Klebs should be a consistent first teamer, and he was when he came back from his injury late last year. He's one of the most talented midfielders we have and probably has as much or more creativity than Giggs or Scholes.

It means that Klebs will not likely start next senior match... playing on the reserves means that we want to keep him fresh and in game shape

Best news I've heard all week, I was really worried he'd be out for the season.

I completely agree... as I stated in another thread I hope he gets time in our new 4-4-2

I thought I'd made myself clear about this in another thread (regarding Scholes & Keane)

Of course he did not mean bench them... but when one of them rests... then he should be played... but i should let him speak for himself.. its the same way I feel...

No I don't think Scholes or Giggs should be benched for Klebs. Keane should probably start to yield more time to Klebs, but occasionally Scholes might sit (or move Scholes up front and sit Saha) to make room for a more defensive central midfield of Klebs and Keane.

[billyireland]

Oh, well that's cool . Yes, he definitely deserves to be the #1 backup for Scholes, as well as getting some time on the right of midfield.

Ole Update:

First Half - Had a chance after 2 min but a poor shot straight at the keeper

His second went well wide

Number 3 was inches from flying into the top corner

:D

How are you tracking the game?

Match thread on another board:

According to a norwegian newspaper who had live updates (and I saw some highligts on the news) Solskjaer played for 60 minutes and came to several good chances. If he wasn't lacking match fitness he would have had at least one goal. He also had some nice passes, he played mads timm clean trough with a back heel for instance.

He was replaced by Kenny Cooper

Sounds good, he supposed to go only 45 minutes, I guess he felt good enough to stay out there an extra 15 minutes.

Oh, we're up 3-0

Richardson
Eagles
and an OG

Bellion apparently up for MOTM honours on the wing tonight...

[haven]

Hmm. Eagles and Richardson scoring goals.

Could SAF at least try one of them playing one of them in place of Darren Fletcher?

[Acronym]

Bellion was MOM, he was running at 15psi tonight. He's improved 8.5% just by getting his head shaved. They didnt know what to do no-one could catch him lol, he should of scored though.

[billyireland]

Ole won't be in tomorrows squad, report Sky Sports News.

Still, he should be back by Valentine's Day

Race disrupted by Man Utd protest

Racing at Hereford on Friday was disrupted by a demonstration against the involvement of racing tycoons John Magner and JP McManus in Manchester United.

A group of about 30 supporters carrying banners declaring "Quit the horseplay Coolmore" and "United not for sale" went onto the track before the 1620 GMT race.

'When we have broken records we are proud, but the only thing we do is concentrate on each game and see what happens at the end,' he added.

'We don't talk about our unbeaten run, although I think it is something that keeps us going. But if you had told me we would go 23 games unbeaten and still only be two points clear I would not have believed you, so it shows that absolutely every point is vital.'

He knows that they are really going to have a stellar second half of the season to keep us at bay. Memories of last season probably will make sleeping hard for him.

Is it just me, or does the following sound a bit arrogant?

"'He will have to get used to that quickly because we get that every week. When you are at a big club every match is like a Cup Final and you cannot relax in any single game.

'That is quite hard to understand, especially if you come from a smaller side like Seville. But at a club like Arsenal you cannot have a weak day, it is not possible. The commitment of the opposition is always evident because they give absolutely everything against us."

Not to me.

It's funny that Wenger had to sort Reyes out about diving after only his first full match though... http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/lol9.gif

I guess the second paragraph I quoted seemed most arrogant. No respect for the club he came from.
