Panathinaikos v. United [R]

[Motterman]

Roy Keane is being rested (slight hamstring) and did not make the trip, Nicky Butt expected to start in his place, but Keano should be fit for Sunday against Chelsea. Brown, Scholes, and Ole are all still out with injuries. Scholes could be back in two weeks or so which is GREAT news.

It makes sense to rest Keano, Sunday is a bigger game in the scheme of things. Wednesday is going to be a tough game, a draw will be a good result.

Isn't Brown suppose to play in the Carling Cup next week? I know thats what they were planning, but I don't know if that happened.

I am interested to see if Kleberson and/or Bellion figure into the match tomorrow.

Particularly Kleberson...I was really impressed with his play against Blackburn.

Does anyone know if this game will be available on Korean TV via the internet like Rangers v United was?

[Mac_Howard]

Is ESPN showing it? They're showing three games here (Australia) but they don't say which.

[Motterman]

No Djemba-Djemba, his mother-mother is sick-sick. :(

Probable lineups:

Panathinaikos (probable; 4-3-2-1): Nikopolidis; Michaelsen, Henriksen, Goumas, Konstantinidis; Seitaridis, Basinas, Maric; Sanmartean, Papadopoulos; Konstantinou.

Manchester United (probable; 4-2-3-1): Howard; G Neville, Ferdinand, Silvestre, O'Shea; Butt, P Neville; Kleberson, Fortune, Giggs; Van Nistelrooy.

Referee: J Wegereef (Netherlands).

I found this link in FourFourTwo so it must have some soccer content. I haven't looked at it for very long so maybe someone can find somewhere to watch today's game.

Need to keep up the pace after last night's shock win by our favorite team:

Still don't know why Cannavaro was subbed out...

Phil Neville and Nicky Butt?

Poor Kleberson will have to have the creativity of 3 men.

Where's Ronaldo? I understand SAF thinks he was being used too much for a while, but he hasn't started in too long. :( Some days, he's our best player.

[Achtung]

UEFA.com reports:

14 Howard
5 Ferdinand
7 Ronaldo
8 Butt
11 Giggs
15 Kleberson
21 Forlán
22 O'Shea
24 Fletcher
25 Fortune
27 Silvestre

Bench:
13 Carroll
2 Gary Neville
3 Phil Neville
10 Van Nistelrooij
12 Bellion
26 Pugh
39 Tierney


Fletcher, Kleberson, and Ronaldo all starting? RVN on the bench, alongside Pugh and Tierney? I sure hope they're not looking too far past this one, as its still an important match.

It would be tough to get points there with our best team. Just think of this as a proving ground.

Wow. What formation will it be tonight Fergie?

----Howard----
O'Shea--Ferd--Silv--Fortune
Ronaldo--Butt--Fletch--Giggs
---- Kleb---Forlan----

or

-----Howard----
O'Shea---Ferd---Silv---Fortune
Fletch---Butt--Kleb---Giggs
-------Ronaldo----
-------Forlan-----

or

-----Howard----
O'Shea---Ferd---Silv---Fortune
Fletch---Butt---Kleb---Ronaldo
----Giggs---Forlan-----

[Potomac Red Devil]

I like this lineup. Ronaldo COULD see some time as a withdrawn striker, since Giggs and Fletcher can anchor the wings.

Korean TV is showing Ajax v AC Milan. It's probably a better game, but they're supposed to show United every week. :D

Is there anywhere online where you can listen to the game?

The only place that I know is on United's website, but you have to pay for the service. Other than that, there is a matchtracker on soccernet.com.

Sure. I'm listening to channel 2 of MU.tv now, but it requires a subscription. I'm not sure but you can also try BBC Five Live because they also broadcast many matches online.

The matchtracker on UEFA.com is not much better.

30' 0-0. Panathinaikos happy to sit back and defend.
