Pre-match: Massive big huge enormous gigantic Man MASSIVE Citeh vs MUFC 11/30 [R]

Who'd be a manager? They're always between a rock and a hard place. I understand what you mean, but tactical match or not, both sets of players are good enough to be included in the team/squad and therefore should be up for it, as for any match, but more so for derby's.

 

A player can be up for it all they want but if the team is fundamentally flawed or they are used in a system that does not suit them then they will struggle regardless. What happens with Giggs will be the most interesting and could be what decides the match.

 

which owner is a ladyboy?

 

i remember that game... what a mess. glad we stuck with Patrice though and glad that he came out of that game a better player.

 

I think it's poking fun at the fact that Thailand is the land of the ladyboys and the owner was from Thailand

:S

 

The use of the present term ... "And we'll all laugh at city cos their owner's a ladyboy"

We've seen a change of ownership, Tra la la la la

 

well, we can't poke fun at the current owners because well.... we care for our lives (no racist)(most of my friends are arabs)(yes scared)

 

I'm out!

Going to bed then heading to the pub for all of the games. Hopefully everyone will be in a good mood on my return.

 

Gonna be at the pub for this one in 8 hours, can't wait. Let's get it.

Prediction - 1-2, win for us.

 

What Teso said. This isn't just hypothetical, we've seen it on dozens of occasions and it's cost us many points in the process.

My gut is feeling extra cynical and sensing just what I fear, a bad starting formation with another wrong tactical outlook.

 

Definitely the most pumped for a game this season since the Liverpool game; hopefully Fergie does not end up starting Neville and Giggs again and lining up a 4-4-2. We will see; our players need to be up for a derby for a change.

 

No line ups yet?

 

Hart

Richards
Dunne
Kompany
Garrido

Hamann
Ireland
Wright-Phillips

Vassell
Robinho
Benjani

_________

VDS

Rafael
Rio
Vidic
Evra

Ronaldo
Carrick
Fletcher
Park

Rooney
Berbatov

 

Rafa!
Park

Equilibrium.

 

I think Park works here. Well as long as Ronaldo, Rooney, and Berba finish.

 

Shocked that Rafael is being played. This is probably the toughest away game he has started. For the sake of the sanity of many posters I hope he plays well.
Can't really see too many complaints about the starting line-up in general. If this team can't win then we might as well forget about the league.

 

I do have one question. Does Rooney need to like die before he is dropped?

 

Aside from Rafael, that was always going to be the lineup. Ferguson was always going to play Park because he figured Park would track Wright Phillips, etc etc. Not too many complaints here.

 

Brown is injured; Neville will have a shocker if played, OShea has been criticized every time he has been played this season. Atleast Rafael will provide an offensive threat though I would guess that we would concede atleast 1 goal from his flank.

Best team we could put out under the circumstances as you said.

 

Tevez would of been better then Rooney...

 

Why do you say that? Besides, Rooney started ahead of Tevez against West Brom, you think he's going to be dropped for the derby?

 

Tevez has been worse than Rooney of late.

 

any streams would be greatly appreciated
