'tis a silly place
Boro will be coming at us. McClaren will want to prove a point. Its a big game. What should the team be ? Is it worth playing three at the back? Otherwise I think Tierney may have to play. We dont have enough midfielders atm to play five in Midfield. Lets assume our injury probs look something like this:

Barthez
Gary
Silvestre
Butt
Scholes

Carroll

Rio Larry John

Becks Veron Roy Giggs

Forlan Ruud Ole
 
Scholes,barthez,neville are still injured or quite a bit away from being match fit. Silvestre took a knock today and Roy may be starting a suspension.
My team-
Carroll

Rio O'Shea P.neville

Butt

Beckham Veron Giggs

Forlan Solskjaer

Van nistlerooy

subs:-
williams
Lopez
Stewart
Chadwick
May
Fortune

What was the last time United started a game in an obvious 3-4-3 system ? or better yet when was the last time united didn't start with 4 defenders ?
I can't remember, and I can't see it happening on tuesday.
 
O'Shea certainly didn't play that bad as RB today, and I don't see we play with 3 defenders.

My team:
Ricardo
O'Shea Blanc Rio Neville
Chadwick Beckham Keane/Butt Giggs
Ruud Ole
 
My team (presuming that Silvestre is still injured):

--------Ricardo --------
OShea --Rio-- Blanc-- Neville

Beckham --Veron --Keane --Giggs

----Rudd --- Ole

Otherwise I can see Butt in midfield as well with Ole dropped ..

I seriously doubt Fergie would ever start a game with three at the back. I think he'd play Maysie or put Nicky Butt at RB before starting with 3 (due to injury).
