Man Utd build up

[Exiled_red]

I'm bored with talking and thinking about the West Ham game, lets look forward to the game against the scum. On the back of a couple of disappointing results lets hope we can get a good 3 points at the weekend. We were unlucky in Kenny's first match so we owe them one.

There are a few injury doubts, any news on Agger and Carroll? Injury to Kelly means re-organising the defence so there is alot to think about.

[RichC]

Well looks as if no Kelly and perhaps Raul also out as well.

Be interesting to see how Kenny lines up for this game, if Carrolls fit you'd hope he'd start up front.

If Carroll, Agger, Aurelio and Raul are fit I'd like to see something like this.

unlikely to happen as I'm relying on a few players being fit!

...................Reina.......................

Johnson.....Carra.....Agger.......Aurelio

............Lucas.........Poulson (because we have nobody else!)

.......Gerrard......Raul.........Suarez..........

....................Carroll....................... .......


Subs - Maxi, Cole, Kuyt, Skrtel, Kyrgiaos, Gulasci, Spearing

I'd rather it will be a man utd tear down

[Darkon]

that said, we will be very shacky with the defense as it is currently looking, and hopefully we will soon se us stopping the 5-3-2 experiement, as I don't think it will serve us well in the long run, but without any good wingers it might be our only option.

Carra going to rb and johnson staying as left? With Carra on right I don't see a potential in using our backs for width, we need to get Maxi back in the team instead.

I'm kinda hoping that they have a tear up with the chavs tonight and lose a couple for the weekend. Our squads looking thin at the moment and i'm worried about this match with the players we currently have available. I'm guessing that even if not fully fit that Carroll will play some part, which will be good because at the moment we seem short of goals.

[Kenneth]

I just hope that Pepe gives Rooney a proper elbow and Kenny says it was just a coming together/media witch hunt.

[Drago]

The West ham games looks more uplifting at this point tbh

[PTP]

will we even have a team for this??

vital for me that carroll is fit to start/play - to give everyone a bit of a lift and buzz, it'll also hopefully mean carroll can occupy uniteds defenders and create some space for Suarez.

I suspect he won't start but will come on for the last 30mins or so

Some great news for us - Howard Webb isn't playing for them on Sunday. The idiot has been in charge of the last three games against United. He's handed the game to them on a plate on every occasion.

PL Away last season: Mascherano barely makes contact with Valencia and it's clearly outside the box but Webb gives them a penalty and Rooney scores rebound.

PL Away this season: Evans hacks down Torres from behind who's left 1-on-1 with keeper - no red card.

FA Cup Jan 2011: Agger barely touches Berbatov. Berba runs for a few seconds then dives and Webb gives them a penalty. Gerrard gets a red for two footed challenge (not a problem with) but Rafael does the exact same challenge 10 seconds before and nothing.

Who is the referee?

How do you know it won't be Webb?

I seriously hope it isn't but I fear it will be Webb again! He's the FA's best apparently!

[Shaggy]

Dowd is the ref on Sunday.

[Mr Darko]

It's Phil Dowd (which isn't that great).

checked the appointments on RefWorld.com

Too much pressure on the FA for it to be Webb after the Babel twitter incident imo
