    Figured I would start this thread.

    I really like these matches because it gives us a chance to watch our younger players.

    Would love to see this formation:

    -----Bellion-------
    ------Ronaldo----
    Giggs--Kleberson--Fletcher
    ------Butt---------
    O'Shea--Rio--Silvestre---Neville
    ------Roy-----------

    Not a bad formation there, a bit too laden on our first teamers I think for Fergie's taste though:

    ---Bellion--Nardiello---
    Richardson--Klebs--Fletcher
    -----Butt or Djx2----
    Fortune--Pugh--O'Shea--G. Nev
    ----Carroll----

    Here's the squad: Carroll, Steele, G Neville, O'Shea, Fortune, Pugh, Butt, Djemba-Djemba, Fletcher, Bellion, Ronaldo, Richardson, Kleberson, Forlan, Wood, Johnson, Eagles, Lynch, Nardiello.

    MU Radio just said Kieran Richardson and Ronaldo are starting, but that is different than what they have on the match tracker. Diego was one of the players who isn't starting, not sure who the other one was.

    Wow, 10 changes from the starters against Chelsea. O'Shea is the only one returning.

    Hmmm...assuming Fletcher starts too, wouldn't Fletcher and Richardson anchor the wings?

    That would move Ronaldo inside...as an attacking midfielder?

    Sounds like it will be Ronaldo, Fletch, Butt and Richardson in the middle with Kleberson just behind Bellion. No start for DJ2.

    I sort of like that lineup...fascinated at what Ronaldo can do up front.

    I'm surprised the Kleberson isn't even on the bench. Seems to me that he needs some games under his belt.

    Yeah, I've wondered this for awhile now myself. I hope he scores three tonight.

    Radio said that kick off has been delayed until 8:15GMT?

    Sorry, it is Kleberson instead of DJ2 in the lineup...

    Yippee!!!!

    I really thought our attack took off when Kleb and Ron came in Sunday...

    I thought I heard Kleberson, not DJ2. In that case, I'm surprised DJ2 isn't on the bench. He certainly needs the playing time. I wonder if he has an injury.

    Yeah, it's strange as the timer keeps going as if it's still receiving...only it's just silence. Maybe it'll pick up closer to the new kickoff time...

    This could be interesting...i've been wanting to see how Ronaldo does at striker...I wish DjDJ was playing instead of Butt, however. Maybe Nardiello can sub in for Bellion later in the game.

    Well, the match kicked off per Matchtracker... BBC still silent. :(

    Ronaldo has slipped on the wet turf once already.
