Mancs build up

[SK]

He predicts 1-1 for every single game between 'the big four' and has Chelsea to win home games 2-0 every single week.

tbf he predicts right about 7, 8 games each round which i quite mpressive.

Just be thankful Reaper doesn't post much in the football threads

If we're going to start with Lucas and Mascherano as 2 DMs then I would put pace on the wings otherwise our counter-attacks (which invariably will be the theme of the match) will be as slow as the orient express.

Babel and Maxi for me.

i know the world has gone mad when i start thinking that united are about the only team i trust benitez to go out and get a result against.

he's shown over the past 3 meetings that he has them sussed, and i expect the tactics to be spot on against them, and i think we've got an ok chance.

just have to keep their attack quiet which could be tricky just at the moment as certain players are having a real stormer lately. if we can keep them to 1 goal or at least have them at 1-2, i think we will pick up at least a point here.

Insua will decide the game IMO. You just know he'll want the ball going out to Valencia at every opportunity. It's harsh on Babel but I wouldn't have him anywhere near the first 11 as he's ****e at defending

Apart from that..not sure what sort of game to expect really. Our attack (which will no doubt just be Stevie and Nando most of the time) has a real psychological advantage over Vidic especially, so I can see us scoring

That's a good point, we might see Maxi on the left tomorrow, he gets stuck in and he is a threat in the box as well, I think he might be good option with Babel coming on as an impact sub.

Ferguson's a cunt.

Stop Evra and Valencia and we're onto a winner.

Rooney's supply

Stop Evra and Valencia and we're onto a winner.

So we need to play a fast right winger high up the pitch, and a left-back that can defend. Step up Dirk and Emiliano

[Slinky Skills]

Think we'll lose this one to be honest, I doubt very much our run of good form against them will continue. Rooney is in great form and they are also playing some pretty decent football too.

They will also still have last year firmly in their minds and will want to do us over as frankly they were embarassing against us.

Obviously I don't want to lose but I'd at least like to see us get a foot in right from the off to the very last whistle, be competitive and not give them a chance to breathe.

If we can do that then we have a chance.

We've got an awful away record this season and because of that I don't think we'll get anything out of the game. We'll lose 2-0.
