The Alberto Aquilani Show

[squaddie]

Playing 2 defensive mids at Old Trafford would be a major risk as we would be going back to everything thats been frustrating us all for the past month. It may have worked at Anfield where we had the crowd behind the players but if we do that on sunday I can honesly see us losing 1-0

Disagree. If Torres and Gerrard can carry the same form they had last night i wont be too worried.

Plus if Vidic was watchin last night he'll be cacking his undies.

Or you just dropped a bollock

Predicting Kuyt and Lucas will play is hardly newsworthy, is it?

Newsworthy? No.

Embarrassing when you make out that you're in the know and post stuff about the team that turns out hopelessly wrong? Yep.

We need to keep Rooney under lock and key, two DM's is a must for the United game.

But on the whole, when playing those 2 so far this season, we've lost 9 league games so why do we think it'll help us against an inform Utd? This formation just hasn't worked this season, hence the position we're in. Suicide in my opinion going back to it against the team playing the best football at the moment.

I think it has worked when other teams come at us. Exactly what you would expect United to do.

But if we revert to Kuyt and Lucas on sunday then last nights showing becomes completely irrelevant. Torres and Gerrard need space to operate, Aquilani's movement and supply of passes provided that last night

It was a piss-take post, you either get it or you don't. By the way, Reina and Insua will definitely start against Lille.

I'm torn on it, but the 'compact' style worked last season and United are weaker this campaign.

That's the same tactic fredo uses when he's dropped a bollock

We need to stop Valencia and Evra.

Possibly, but after this season I just have no belief in it. Playing Kuyt means Utd don't have to worry about attacking play on the right, and with Lucas and Mascher they know Torres will be fed scraps.

The whole world knows that Lucas and Kuyt will start though.

Funny thing is Aqua and Babel will make way (IMO) for Lucas and Kuyt, probably on Sunday at OT.

You think the Mancs will allow us space for movement? Aquilani wouldnt get anywhere near enough freedom to do what he did last night.

make the space ...using speed and movement

Well I think we should play our game and let them worry about our attack. But at the same time im mindful that it might be too much to expect Aquilani to start 3 games in one week, Rafa will want to be cautious with him so he'll probably be rested somewhere
