even though it's only a glorified friendly, i'll not be happy if United lose against Chelsea in this fixture, after the disapointment of the FA Cup Final, a game in which United may as well have not turned up, i feel it's important to send a message of intent, also, United have not beaten Chelsea head to head in almost two years, it's time we put on a show and flexed our muscles...
with any luck Hargreaves will feature, also Nani and Anderson...
even though it's unlikely with all the options at his disposal, i hope Sir goes with 4-4-2, like this...
Van der Saar
Brown
Ferdinand
Vidic
Evra
Ronaldo
Carrick
Scholes or Hargreaves
Giggs or Nani
Rooney
Saha (if he's fit) or Solksjear
c'mon United!!

Looking forward to this game on Sunday....
It'll be intresting to see the starting 11 for each team, as a neutral i'm hoping for plenty goalmouth action as i couldn't face a repeat of the FA Cup....
I cant see this being a friendly encounter i'm sure there will be a bust up or 2 along the way....insomnia - A dyssomnia characterized by persistent difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep or by persistently nonrestorative sleep.

Apparantly Chelsea are playing 4-4-2 this season and are going to be more attacking so hopefully it will be an entertaining game.
It will have no baring on the season - Liverpool beat Chelsea last year and were about 10 points behind them after 5 games.

Not a bad match 2 very good individual goals, looks like that Malouda will be a hit next season...
Van der sar must be the hero of the day....

good game, United did alright, played some nice football, and were the better team in my opinion, Jose reckons Chelsea bossed the game
few key personel absent for both teams ofcourse, two nice goals as Insom has said...
Evra was class on the left of midfield as he is on Pro when i've played him there
to be fair i can understand why some fans left early, a draw would have been a fair result, but Edwin is the daddy, just the tonic for him somin like that today is exactly what was required, glad to see the other players take their penalties so well also...Numeric

They probably left early to escape the traffic.
Chelsea have got the injury jinx again - Terry out for a month, Drogba to have a scan.
Thought Wright-Phillips looked very poor again.

Yeah but Moaninho can use that excuse all he wants, its bollocks.
Reckons his side controlled the game, which is tosh anyway, and that they had injuries while we were full strength.
Funny - we had Neville, Saha, Scholes, Hargreaves, Tevez and Anderson unavailable for one reason or another, as compared to Drogba, Shevchenko, Kalou, Terry, Bridge and Ballack.... seems to me both teams were far from full strength!

aye, both teams were missing key players, but i think Chelsea suffered more as they rely on Drogba so heavily, and Terry is their rock in defence...
imagine what United are gonna be like with Tevez, Scholes and Nev back...
we have the best squad in the Premiership without doubt, potentialy Europe if players such as Nani and Anderson develop as they promise...Numeric

Well thats Moaninho's own fault for building a side that relies so much on two outfield players (and an outstanding goalie) - through I think that the signing of Ban Haim will help cover if they lose Terry at all, still think an injury to Drogba would finish them off as an attacking threat and lead to them dropping lots of point, unless Sheva starts firing them in this season, as dont really see Kalou or Pizarro being good enough to fill his shoes.
Roll on a nice long run in the African Nations Cup for Ivory Coast in Jan lol!

Pizzaro is quality but will have to see if he adampts straight away to the pace of the Prem.
I think Fergie could have a few selection problems this season though. Hargreves or Carick or Scholes for starters. Good problem to have though.

i'm sure Sir is planning to play different formations and different personel according to who United are facing on the day, just hope it doesn't back-fire... Originally Posted by french_og

i think it's fair to say overall, we definitaly have better cover for midfield now than any other Premiership team, at the back we're strong for cover also...
the thought of United on the new Pro gets me excited
