Evra shouldn't play after this, give Fabio a chance.

He died like afew hours before the Manchester Derby (I read it on the sun this morning)

Did Evra know?

I don't know. We should give him all the time he needs to recover. Really gutted for him, and he was just starting to find his form too . Hope Fabio will step up.

I don't think we'll actually notice Evra gone, Fabio will probably out perform him, only worry is Fabio can't complete 90 without getting injured usually.

Evra out with personal issues
Fabio injured
Jonny Evans at left back

Just stick Phil Jones there. He plays good everywhere he plays.

"Vidic will be back but maybe Anderson is the one player who picked up an injury last night," said the United manager. "We'll see what he's like. He could be doubtful.

"There will be no returns for Young, Smalling or Cleverley though."

Fuck sake, no Ando and Cleverley is fucking shit, our team is going to be so boring and shit, we'll never play well with the team we put out v Sunderland.


I'd actually play that.

At least Carrick gets a game now.

I want Eriksen

Should be playing above Fletcher anyway.

Wouldn't be surprised if Fergie went with Giggs and Fletcher, if Giggs is fit.

Oh man, I hate when we play Carrick and Fletcher together Let's give Giggs a game.

Should just get Scholes out of retirement, he'd do a better job than any of your current central midfielders.

Stick Rooney back in midfield

Carrick and Fletcher can't be in midfield together, I changed my mind, as Fletcher will obviously 100 percent start, I'd play this:


We're going to probably struggle like v Norwich.

Fuck off, no way should we play Jones in central midfield v Sunderland at home.

I was going to put Valencia in my team but that would mean Nani on the left and he was awful on Tuesday, I'd play Welbeck on the wing too.

Jones is a beast.

He would do fine in that role, breaking up attacks, offering support and cover for your inexperienced fullbacks, start the attacks with Carrick and he is very calm on the ball.

I wonder what fucked up formation Sir Alex will put out

It's good that we have Vidic back for this though, we were much more secure against Everton with him.

jones is better going forward then all out midfielders

I was talking about Jones.

We should play Carrick and Giggs in the middle.

But that would mean leaving out Fletcher, which won't happen.

When you play fullback or defence it's easier to attack because you've got more space to find.. in midfield like v Liverpool he looked a mess.

play morrison

79% - @D_DeGea PL save % compared to 71% by Pepe Reina. Bullish.

De Gea's probably made a hell of a lot more saves. Shit stat.
