    What the hell is Jamie Redknapp crapping on about the England squad.... Basically inciting the idea that Cappello is blaming Crouch, Defoe and Green for the fallings in the squad... Also he said that players that Cappello didnt consider good enough 4 months ago are now good enough, Redknapp really is a fckin idiot!

    Another piss poor Scholes tackle. Should've been a card.

    Essien is very much back.

    Anybody else think Fergie looks a little jaded/shook ? In the last few seasons he has looked relaxed and well rested ..
    I actually think he looks very refreshed and relaxed even got a tan on himself!

    In midfield I hope Carrick and Scholes will not be the starting CM partnership. Fletcher didnt play in world cup so not sure why he is on bench . .
    Carrick needs minutes on the pitch to get some fitness, like rooney, owen, park, valencia. Some United players didn't play many minutes in any pre-season friendly so this is a good semi-competitive match to get minutes into the legs.

    Up front I think United will have more then enough for the season .. Nobody has a stronger forward squad then Rooney, Berbs, Owen, Hernandez and Macheda.

    On paper maybe. But as we know this means nothing if Rooney cant regain his magic from last year, Berba has another indifferent season, Owen gets injured again(which is more likely), Macheda still young and developing and Hernandez still too early to tell how he will take to the Premiership, and how he settles, he does look fantastic though.

    It is a strong forwrad line-up but only if the players can step up.

    There's alot of playeres that need big seasons for themselves, United, Fergie, The Fans and the Future of United; Vidic, Ferdinand, Evans, Carrick, Anderson, Gibson, Nani, Valencia, Rooney and Berbatov all have alot to do this season. What I think is thats a postive as it will give players a bit more drive and edge to go out and prove how good they really are.

    Fabio gets dragged out of position waay too many times, hes got great energy and spirit to get stuck in but tactically he needs to be more aware and relax a bit. A team on song and aware of this will exploit this.

    Fabio caught well out of position again for ferriera's cross.
    Not good enough as a full back.

    Lol .. Comentator shocked that Lampard actually passed the ball near the box . .

    Lampard probobley shoots more then anybody in soccer . .. He would shoot from a kickout ! ! If Gibson was with Chelsea he would score just as many goals with the rest of the team doing the hard work . .

    seriously though, he has barely played any games at the top level and has to adjust to playing with wingers who aren't always willing to help out at the back
