2nd May 2007 - 7.45 at the San Siro.

European Champions League Semi Final.

Manchester United lead 1st leg 3-2.
 
i see a 1-1 draw, scholes to get the goal in the second half, like what we did against inter in 99 :) and get booked :(
 
Ok team should be

GK: VDS

RB: O'Shea
CB: Brown
CB: Heinze
LB: Richardson

RM: Ronaldo
CM: Carrick
CM: Giggs
CM: Fletcher
LM: Rooney

CF: Smith

Hopefully either Rio or Vida will be fit meaning we dont have to risk Richardson at left back, we CAN NOT risk Scholes getting booked (which is almost a cert) and missing the final - id rather us not get there than have to see Scholesy miss another final

Im going for 1-1 Rooney again :devil:
 
----------------VDS-------------
O'Shea---Brown---Rio---Heinze
----------Carrick---Fletcher----
Ronaldo------Scholes-----Giggs
---------------Rooney-----------

2-2: Kaká, Rooney, Carrick, Inzaghi.

To be fair I was meant to put Rooney up there instead of Smith and Giggs on the left-hand side. I was apparently blinded by charlenefan's line-up.

AC are going to have to come out and play us and hopefully that should leave room for our players to exploit their lack of pace in the back line. Rhino broke a lot of our play up but hopefully he'll be missing though even if he is not then i fancy our chances if Carrick is able to play infront our back 4 and stop kaka. If we have either Vidic/Rio back then atleast one of them will be confident enough to see the danger and step up.

2-1 to us :devil:
 
Should be another high scoring game. Hopefully we'll play the same line up as the first leg besides shuffling the defense around as needed.
 
VDS

Oshea
Brown
Rio/Vidic
Heinze

Ronaldo
Fletch
Scholes
Carrick
Giggs

ROOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY

2-2
Kaka, inzaghi, Rooney, Giggs
 
Is Fletch right to play?

Nothings been said of him after he missed the Everton game.
 
--------------VDS-------------------
---O'Shea--Rio--Brown---Heinze--
-----Carrick----Fletcher-----
--Eagles-----Rooney----Richardson---
----------Dong------------

3-2
Sub Ronaldo, Giggs, Scholes, on for extra time. And we win; 3-3.
:) :lol:

Not even funny as a joke mate. :wenger:
 
ripley,
I think you may be right. Providing Rio is fit enough thats the team we will most likely see. We have to exploit AC Milan's weakness again. Pace, skill and lots of attacking intent. Its vital that we score first to open the game up and force them to expose their defence time and time again.

Id bet money this will be the line-up, SAF isnt going to bring back Smith as he'd realistically have to sacrifice Giggs or Scholes - and their experience will be vital.


Im going for a score draw....
 
What is all this!?!?! - who can provide the best graphical analysis competition!?!!?

Ps I do like Ripleys!!

I dont doubt that, it would simply be a travesty though for him to miss 2 European cup finals

Absolutely.
He could have learned to tackle long ago, especially after missing the last Big Cup final, but he hasn't. Crap tackling legend. Wouldn't have him any other way.
Scholes>Zidane.

I just hope Rio's fit and Gabby isn't playing in the middle. As I've said before, he's a little early on the comeback trail for his aggressive style to be perfectly timed. Alright against most domestic teams but Kaka et al's clever, fluid movement could see him sent off or at least concede a penalty.
 
Personally if Vida is passed fit id rather us play him than Rio, Rio's groin injury could remanifest itself at any time as proved against Boro whereas if Vida's shoulder is healed then its healed

Actually it's not cnut. Do you think I fecking care what people use 'here'.

We're on a forum, not 'here'.

You're an embarassment to your country. Luckily the caf isn't filled with narrow-minded Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime like you.
 
my heart wants 2-0 win. ronaldo to score both goals.
but my mind says a real edgy 1-1 draw. giggs to score from a free-kick.
