No Anderson either?
How can you drop Rooney?
where is Rio?He is being rested I suppose. Remember he played against Boro when most others were rested. I would have started him today mind you.
Rio, how much do you want to bet it's his back again
Tevez better take this chance
Tevez better take this chance

According to BBC there is no Rooney. Tevez, berbatov and Ronaldo all start.
Tevez's start despite his apparent outburst brings things into perspective.
That Bluemoon team gave me a heart attack!
Glad to see Tevez and Rafael starting today but don't like the look of a United side without Ferdinand and Rooney, especially with the form Rooney is in at the moment.
This is the first time Fletcher and Giggs have started as a pairing since they ripped Chelsea apart iirc so a similar performance today would be appreciated.

He's resting him for other challenges ahead
You know for those that are nervous, this is nine of the eleven players the ripped Chelsea a new one in January - changes to that lineup are Raf for Neville and Tevez for Rooney.
Rooney played too many games in the last few weeks.
He handled him very well at the council house
These type of matches are tailor made for Rooney
Surprised he hasn't made the bench
Gutted Rio isn't even on the bench, I hope he's okay.
no scholes aswell. He doesnt seem to start many games
I'm guessing you don't remember the job Rafael did on him in the reverse fixture.
Rafael pocketted Robinho at Wastelands.
I'm not nervous I think we will win but there are too many changes each week for me. It leads to less goals and less attractive play because the players don't know whats going on. It's no coinsidence we are not the top scorers in the league even though we have won more matches than everyone else.
hmm...
Tevez on his own up front with Berbatov in the hole and Park to run around. Good team that. I'm more worried with the lack of Rooney rather than Rio.

Rio is rested or something.
reading Bluemoon, one of them said that he felt that this was the last Derby they'd go into with inferior players.Rooney played a lot of football recently, so it's good that he gets a rest and that he's ready for the upcoming games
How come the teams been announced so early today?
Shitty team anyone?
Only feel half as confident without Rooney. Big day for Tevez and Berbatov.
This is going to be a close one.

He made signals to the bench then came off against Arsenal after about an hour so that would suggest he was injured.
Good team. Some players have been rested and we have brought some freshness into the side. Lets hope they perform.
If that was the case - Hughes shouldn't sign players like Wayne Bridge, Nigel De Jong and Shay Given - good players absolutely - but not exactly Evra, Carrick and van der Sar
because kick off is in 40 mins
