Not an ideal lineup!

Ben Hibbs on Twitter "I think Vidic has been ill all this week. He hasn't been training. Wasn't sure if he'd make it or not. Shame"

I think the hammers are in for another 5-3 game today. Utd will be very dodgy at the back.

Bizzare line up to say the least.

UnitedIrishman

Jebus, Neville playing in the centre of defence. :O

Gibson is getting a start on the back of the Carling Cup. Should be interesting to see how he does - probably the most important game for him.

lordgoat

Have no idea how that team is going to line up it's bizarre...

eclectichoney

Awful team, would much rather see Barba & Rooney up front together - Neville at CB

Would have preferred de Laet at RB (I'm pretty sure he can play there) and Fletch in the middle, but sure fingers crossed we can do that job. AT least Cole isn't playing, which is a bonus.

If he shoots he will be fine.

De Laet can play RB and has done before and he was immense.

This ain't gona be fun

****ing nev as the cb fills me with pure fear

Raskolnikov

Huuuuggge game for Gibson. With Carrick being garbage, Anderson inconsistant and Scholes not getting any younger, it's a chance for him to make the central midfield position his.

Good man Giggsy.

Giggs, what were ya thinking!!

Mikeyt086

Looking at it, it seems Ando is playing just off Rooney.

I'm pretty sure its Gibson off Rooney, with Anderson and Scholes in the middle.

Great to see PiG in goal ahead of Foster. I always feel much more confident when he is between the sticks. Is VDS injured ?

Yeah Anderson has dropped back now.

Hammer Archer

I am raging we dont have Cole available. We'd have a great chance with him and Franco up front.

How do you rate Zavon Hines?

I think himself, Junior Stanislas and Franck Nouble look like great prospects.

Neville looks bolloxed!

More injury woes

Wtf Carrick for Neville ?

Carrick at CB and Fletch RB

Raskolnikov

Carrick at centre back!

Bobalicious93

Was starting to worry there, but De Laet has really impressed me any time I've watched him, so I'd be confident with him on.

EDIT: SAF has decided it'd make more sense to replace Neville with a central-midfielder...

Quandary

Carrick at CB?? This should be interesting...

adox

Ah jaysus Carrick at centre back!!
Why not give De Laet a run instead.

Crosses fingers and prays.

Looks like a great prospect but can be hit and miss. For example, he ran rings around Villa last month and scored the winner and in the next game, he missed 3 or 4 sitters against Everton. Could be a great player though as well as Stanislas. I haven't really seen much of Nouble to be honest bar a few cameos but I've heard good things about him.

ccosgrave

Jaysus christ, this sounds nerve-wracking..

How are West Ham doing, do they seem likely to take advantage of our shoddy defense?

Quandary

Gibson having a poor game so far, We dont look threatening going forward at all. Anyone see the bench, why did gibson start (aside from 2 CC goals)?

PHB

--Fletcher-Carrick---Brown

---

Evra-
-Valencia-Scholes---Anderson--Giggs-

---

Gibson----Rooney

---

If we get through this game, it will be a massive win towards the title. This our without a doubt our greatest injury period so lets hope we come through it. We're playing with 5 central midfielders on the pitch today.

PHB

Gibson's been poor but he's got a goal threat about him, so Fergie wisely tried to get some people on the pitch who can score goals. He's gotten into 3 decent goal scoring positions, despite messing them all up, he's getting the chances and hopefully he'll put one of them in.

Dancor

Gibson has been terrible so far. Drop him back and have Ando or Antonio next to Rooney.

6 if you count Giggs, which I do.

JerryHandbag

Who's this Carrick young fella at centre half?? Looks a great prospect

Het-Field

My Hammers dont seem to have threatened too much.

I feel that United have a significant edge, and its only a matter of time.
