i recon on todays peformance definetely. go on forlan,ur the man!
Forlan to start against Arsenal?
- Thread starter Taker
- Start date
His confidence will be sky high now. I hope he keeps his place next week.
It would make no sense to drop him for the Arse match. I scoring two against Liverpool doesn't give you a place in the team, then what does? 
Sir Alex said after the match that the team will be pretty much the same. Blanc and Veron might be back but you don't change a winning team.

I am as happy as any, but be more objective please, there is no Guarantee Arse GK will be the same, Our hero was giving the ball away all the time and when he was supposed to score he did not..His performance was bad until the goals...
Having said all of this I still want to celebrate no matter what and will leave the selection thing to Fergie. Off to Koptshite for some fun

Look u piece of shit, based on this Diego is better than RVN since he did not score today.!!!?
Look I hate the scousers 100X than U do, But guess what, I still want to celeb and thank God for our good luck and our great defence.
AL, don't allow yourself to be cornered on this issue. True Forlan had a horrible start at Utd in terms of scoring (great work rate though). Now that he's started scoring, its time to put the past behind and support him.
He should keep Giggs out IF it's true that Beckx and Keano will be back. Giggs was utterly absent today. The chief has spoken!
FOL.
For the Arsenal match, I'd like to keep the exact same team that started today...whether or not Rio/Larry/Seba are healthy and fit. On paper, with all our injuries, we shouldn't have won that match today...especially away from home. But this team, starting with the Newcastle match, has shown a hunger, desire and determination that I hadn't seen for quite awhile. They are finally playing as a team, and they've all done enough to deserve a start against Arsenal next week.

Diego has just sunk the dippers, and you still have to slag him, its not on

saved us once.. and won us two games..
not bad diego, keep up the good work.

Diego has earned this moment !
Surely, you can't slag him off now, can you ?

As I said last week, Forlan has showed obvious improvment and settled into the team. I find no reason why he can't start against Arsenal.
ALGred, I certainly respect your right to express your opinion about certain player. But since Forlan is our hero today, when he helped us to beat our biggest rival he surely deserved it's not the cleverest time to express your negative opinion on him, right

Forlan will start, Fortune won't.

We are at home in a season defining game. Surely we have to go with our attacking players. Veron has to play.

Fergie has never gone with goalscoring form. I remember Ole scoring four against Everton, then one against Valencia a few days later, and then dropped against West Ham on the Saturday.
id play
------------Fab------------
Neville---Wes-Silv---O'Shea
------Fortune--Veron-------
Olle------------------Giggs
-----------Scholes----------
------------Ruud-----------
With Veron and Fortune lying very deep, only one of them following the attack.
Scholes relieved of defensive duties.
Defending with 7 outfield players, ie not Ruud, Scholes and one of Giggs or Olle
Attacking with 6-7 players, ie 2 strikers, 2 wingers, 1 central midfielder and a full back, possibly another full back pushing up slightly depending on circumstances.

so who takes over these defensive duties Murt? i lost count of the number of times scholey was back deep clearing up , breaking down the thieves, water-carrying. he was immense. can veron do the same?
OK were at home but we will look frail against their midfield movement

Veron Fortune, the 4 defenders and whichever of the widemen thats furthest back. Veron is definitely up for the job.
ie 7 + the keeper. Scholes would be available for the pass as soon as we gain possesion.
i reckon it'll be better for Fortune to start than Veron.
Fortune's more of a defensive midfielder and he'll be needed to close down on those typical Arsenal through balls. When Veron's there, he wanders off too often, leaving them too much space.
Or perhaps Forlan will drop back to the bench as Fergie plays a 5-man midfield with Ruud solo upfront.
