One up front for United and Kuszczak in goals? WHY THE FACE!?

Paul Tergat

Well thats a very weird team we have put out.

For a start its a big FU to Foster.

Playing 4-5-1 against Pompey as well? weird...

I was going to lump on Utd and I'm sure they'll win but I don't like the look of that team.

MagicMarker

''...and clearly, no Hart as well''

Dear god!

indeed - I had United for a 2-1 win in the PL.com predictions game.I'm thinking it could be a 1-1 game now.

Play up Pompey, Pompey play up.

Well it's very close to a 4-3-3 and easily adapted to such, is this not the system they played most last year with Rooney Ronaldo and Giggs?

I still think it's a comfortable win for United, dissapointed that Obertan doesn't make the bench.

Seaneh

if Utd lose I'll keel them!

ave them in Last Man Standing this week, only 5 of us left, worth like 400 yoyos to me!

Well Ronaldo in 4-5-1 makes more sense than the personnel we have out there. I think we often played that last season to accommodate Ronaldo.

Meh, still confident in the players there though.

i dont believe this is 433, its a clear 451 formation, PIG in goal?! doesnt look good for foster! i have to be honest im slightly worried, ive never felt comfortable with PIG in goal and it looks like we are playing defensivley, allowing pompy to come at us, with a shakey keeper out of match practice thats a risky decision!

He's been playing regularly all season, IIRC.

Rooney Hatrick, you heard here first.

Good stuff.

A little worried about this one. Can understand Tommy K in for Fozzie, as sometimes if there is a midweek game they are rotated.

Hate, hate, hate 4-5-1 in matches like this. Wanted to see Berba and his new haircut!

kingofcastle

Find that line up quite strange? Think i will flick on the rugby instead. Whats Berba's mop chop like? Pics?

Royale with Cheese

Should be at least 1-0 Pompy by now. They're going to regret all these missed chances.

United are shocking so far, only one team in it

Hope so, but he hasn't been good so far.

MagicMarker

Peno, really nice bit of play there.

Generous penalty decision.

everdead.ie

mike65

No justice

Eire-Dearg

Peno..Rooney..goal!

ntlbell

10/10 for Rooney for that dive Not shocking really

Josey Wales

Get in.

(Glad, I have Rooney as captain of my FF team.)

Sully

Very minimal, nowhere near enough to warrent a pen. Very very lucky to get it imo.
