3hn2givr7mx1sc

I love early kick-offs.:)

v

Venue: Goodison Park
Telly: Sky Sports

I'd like to see:

---

VDS

---

JO'S--Vidic--Evans--Evra
Valencia--Scholes--Fletcher--Nani

---

Park

---

---

Rooney

---

I put in Park, because I think the game will be won or lost in midfield and Everton have a strong midfield.

I'm not confident about the game at all, and bookies have it right with United just below evens, imo, very tough game to call.

I'd be delighted with a 1-0 scrap.

Berbatov Rooney.

If ever there was a good time to play Everton it should be now (form and injuries etc) but the sh1t storm surrounding Rooney and the "we're playing United let's throw everything at 'em" side of things will undoubtedly come into play.
I'm obviously hoping for a United win, but I don't think it'll be easy.

I'll go for a 1-1. We deserved far more than we got from the Villa game, hopefully we'll put it right tomorrow.

Except for Hibert that's a very good line up. Moyes is just so damn good at putting a team together on a shoe string budget.

Berbatov and Rooney have to start together up front for me.

It's going to be tough no doubt. I can't wait.

Thought Everton outplayed Villa for most if not all of their recent game.Think it might be a draw but a 98th minute Rooney winner would be sweet.

Any news on the starting XI's?

Apparently Rooney wasn't on the United bus that arrived about an hour ago. Make of that what you will.

Was just coming on to post that Xavi.

sofireland

Yeah they just said on football focus that Rooney isn't in the squad.
Though they said it was a rumour

Insert appropriate " Rooney coming in an escort" joke here.

Confirmed. Rooney out

What a joke, he better be injured or sick tbh.

Go on the chico!

dont like the look of that team one bit.

flahavaj

O Shea in central midfield? Worried now.

mike65

So is that to save Rooney the grief or is he in counseling?

Don't like the look of the team. O Shea in midfield??

Wow what a team selection . Haven't seen JOS in midfield in ages in a game of any meaning .

It'll basically be O'Shea as a 3rd CB and Scholes and Fletch given much more freedom. I can't remember exactly when it was but I remember O'Shea played the same role in a game last season and was very impressive.

hitman79

Timmy Cahill...1-0. COYB

redzerdrog

0-0 imo

titan18

That team is crazy.I can kinda understand no Valencia and no Hernandez as they were in South America so would get back late, but I think it's a bad idea to not play Rooney tbh.He's going to get stick in every game this season.Might as well get the big one out of the way for him

eclectichoney

Wow JOS in MF. Is Carrick injured?? He must be if not on the bench, and I'm just out of the loop.

Also did Valencia get injured in the Internationals?

Interesting team choice. Raf instead of Neville though would have been better. Still, SAF knows best

_Bella_

Is Valencia injured?

Jax Teller

Rooney not playing is not bad IMO he be liable to get sent off here and miss the next 3 games

homerjay2005

i fuc*ing hate international week, it always leads us to problems the saturday after.

yabadabado

carrick is out for a few weeks.we are light enough in MF with ando and carrick missing.I would have thought valencia and chico would be fit for the bench.

Mgoraf

Whats up with Chico?

shano_88

Playing JOS in midfield says alot about Fergusons faith in Gibson.

Yeah Carrick is out for 3 weeks, achilles problem as far as i know.

Very strange team selection all the same though!
