Man Utd v Blackburn CC, 8pm Wed

jaykay74 · 03-12-2008 5:53pm #1

Carling Cup seems to be up for grabs if anyone wants it

It would be nice to see Scholes get on the pitch tonight. hopefully there'll be a decent stream for the game. I'd like to see Possebon again. I'm going for 3-1 to Utd if only because I'm sick of low scoring games. Is Fabio injured or something ? Don't see his name in the squad below.

Manchester United (from): Foster, Kuszczak, Rafael, Evans, Cleverley, Neville, Chester, Vidic, O'Shea, Nani, Park, Scholes, Fletcher, Anderson, Possebon, Gibson, Giggs, Tevez, Welbeck, Manucho.

Blackburn (from): Robinson, Brown, Simpson, Ooijer, Samba, Nelsen, Emerton, Khizanishvili, Warnock, Mokoena, Olsson, Tugay, Treacy, Pedersen, Roberts, Derbyshire, Villanueva, Santa Cruz, Fowler, McCarthy.

it really is up for grabs, not just for my hatred of united but moreso for the want of this comp to have a really different winner, I would love to see blackburn win this, either that or burnley to knock united out in the next round.

imagine burnley getting to the final having chelsea, arsenal and united as the scalps along the way.

Extra time, with Blackburn winning.

Im_No_Superman · 03-12-2008 6:12pm

The team I would like to see would be:

Foster

Rafael Evans Vidic O'Shea

Park Possebon Anderson Nani

Tevez Welbeck

With Scholesy coming on at some stage in the second half. Dont think it will be an easy game at all, going for a 2-1 United win.

Anyone know if this is on TV ? Or failing that, a decent feed ?

OT Wouldn't mind getting a look at Manucho tonight, Utd to take it 2-0.

hopefully a good match... not too bothered if United don't win. Would be good to see Blackburn salvage something from a terrible season so far

Hoping that Welbeck starts up front with Tevez, beyond them two i don't really mind who plays out of the regulars/fringe players.

Mitch Connor · 03-12-2008 8:23pm

Foster, Rafael, Neville, Evans, O'Shea, Possebon, Gibson, Anderson, Nani, Tevez, Giggs.

FREAKING GIGGS STARTING... Welbeck, Scholes, Manucho amongst the subs. Disappointed Welbeck isn't in the starting lineup.

Smegball · 03-12-2008 8:28pm

I'm just glad to see Evans, Foster, Rafael and Possebon playing

It's surprising they're showing the spurs game. There's dam all decent on the box.

I'd expect that team capable of doing a job on a Blackburn side devoid of confidence.

Utd taking it reasonably seriously then. Probably a good idea since its such an easy trophy to win this season.

Strange one to work out.

Foster

Rafeal-Neville-Evans-O'Shea
--Nani--Possebon-Gibson-Anderson

Giggs

Tevez

Giggs and Anderson could swap.

Back four is very changeable. Neville could go right back, O'Shea centre and Rafeal left. Looks dodgy to me, still not convinced by Rafa in the defense, Neville hasn't filled me with confidence since his return, O'Shea will be fine defensively but offers nothing going forward which will leave us with no width on the left.

Disappointed with Giggs starting but hopefully that will keep him from starting at the weekend. Would have preferred to see Wellbeck starting myself.

good to see Gibson get a run, thought he did well when he came on v Villareal. It's still a pretty strong line-up for a relative second-string side.

I'm such a retard, I was thinking someone else was having a dig at benitez in a united/blackburn thread lol.

anyway yea strange team would be very interested to see gibson in this though, got him on loan in FM2009 and he's been great :P
