Must be the smallest combined captainage in Champion's League (adult football?) history.

adox

United lining up 3-5-2according to kevin moran.
4-4-2 it is then!

flahavaj

United back three of Fletch, Carrick, Paddy.

This could be a painful night.:eek:

Mitch Connor

fletcher on dzeko.

Great craic. It has a Sunday morning kickabout in the park kinda feel about it, where about 6 regular lads don't turn up and you end up with a loada lads in the team you don't even know.

Yes and as long as Wolfsburg don't attack the United defence will continue to be comfortable

Wasn't it you who did this in another match thread? Post the lineup after the match had started, and after other's had already posted?

Dave!

Gibbo spraying a couple of good passes around

Nani's clergyman touch lets him down

It was probably mink_man..... he likes to do things like that

Gibson has made a few nice passes.

first game in a month. Not going to be match sharp.

and they had been awsome up to that 2 minutes, did you not see how they passed it around the back with such fenes??

in fairness - that is an update on the formation. pre-kickoff were 451.

9 minutes gone and Nani is already annoying me.

What was his excuse when he was getting games regularly then?:pac:

Headshot

thought Wolfsburg would be all over us

but we look so far in control, very surprising

Dave!

We should play this formation every week

Gibbo still passing well...

when has he been getting them regularly? He has always been in and out of t he game, and I didn't realise the earlier comment was talking about Nani's touch over his career. i thought it was just this game.

SlickRic

gibson's started great.

utd have actually looked a little more dangerous so far.

wolfsburg, granted it's early on, look a little one dimensional in attack.

Carrick for England centre-back?

Majestic thus far.

should ahve been a peno there. lucky.

Mad_Max

Jeeez that was a close call.

Julez

pace of yer man

ntlbell

kenon

Carrick is a lucky man.

jinx!

wow, awfully unnecessary sliding tackle from Carrick.

he touched him rather than actually tripped him, if that makes sense.

probably a penalty though.

And with that kind of luck he should go far

Bobby Moore like tackle there.

I'd sooner Carrick to Lescott or Upson CB anyway.

kenon

It normally takes Gibson a few stinker shots to get his eye in...

ntlbell

park and welbeck no excuse being offside open your bleedin eyes lads.

Dave!

Terrible miss there. Utd should be 1 down. Bad tackle from carrick aswell. Stonewall peno.
