Manchester United vs. Arsenal

Thompson the only one on soccer Saturday to predict a United win, who'd have expected that?!

And then you wonder why people laugh at you?

Since we're playing King on the right and Fabio in the centre, why not put in Norwood in goal and Obertan at centre back while we're at it? I also think Berbatov would be great at left back. Excellent technique and he's used to being left back in big games.

King played wide left in the most recent reserve match and played there for Preston a few times.
Fabio is a midfielder, I promise.
 
It's said on Guardian or Telegraph that Obertan will start today, if true, than it could potentially be a career changing match from the lad. He is very much a confidence player, a good performance today and he will really start to flourish.

You would put Fabio in the middle for the first time for the full team against Arsenal? We have a formula that works against Arsenal and that's putting 3 "hard workers" in midfield to not let Arsenal play. If King is to play let him play upfront.

The midfield is so dry of creativity in the final third. Fabio, could provide this, and also be defensively aware if needed. The formula is rubbish, we should try and copy Barcelona's system and stop playing boring tactics and relying on our fantastic defence.

So you want us to stop playing a formula that works against Arsenal and instead play attacking football which will probably leave us vulnerable and maybe even lead us to defeat? Don't you think in a match as big as this it should be substance (and the win) over pretty football?

We can have pretty football and win.

Don't rise to the bait mate.

Since when was Fabio synonymous with creativity anyway.
 
Hold on, I've got an idea - let's play Fabio centrally. Think about it, it makes total sense.

How has no-one thought of this?

That you mean?
 
Lindegaard
Obertan Evans Carrick Fletcher
Bebe Hernandez Fabio Norwood
Smalling Rafael

It won't happen but it would be a perfect solution for today.
 
I hope Obertan doesn't start, this is a big game and he's a bit shit.

If he does start I hope he proves me wrong
 
Lindegaard
Fletcher-Smalling-Vidic-Evra
----Rafeal--------Fabio----
----------Scholes---------
Barthez---------------Giggs
---------Hernandez--------​
 
Look, you are spoiling the forum, you are not here to debate, you are here just to try and make a joke of my opinions even if they are reasonable this time and not as strange as Delfouneso/Pato. wr8_utd, this time, wanted to debate, and this was good. But some posters, stop messing the forums, for the posters who want to debate. If you want to make fun of my opinions, go to the general and create your own thread if you like, but stop ruining the forum for everyone.
 
Err, he wanted to debate by putting Norwood in goal?

I like you Scholesy, you have no concept of reality.

I'd play Kuszczak for Lindegaard there. Other than that I like the team. No you're right, it won't happen today, though it may happen next season.

Fabio has played in midfield in the reserves and played quite well. At some point in the future we'll most likely see King start on the right but I'm expecting it to be Obertan today....especially as he only played 60 mins in the reserve match the other day.
 
Fabio has played in midfield for the reserves, I don't see what's so funny about advocating playing him there today.
 
Let's start O'Shea in goal - that way when we have the ball he can come out, and it'll be an extra man

For the first time for the first team in a huge game? We know what to do against Arsenal. Pack the midfield and make it hard for them to play their football.
 
Yes because reserve games are as important as F.A. Cup 6th round against Arsenal, Vidic used to be a striker, let's play him up front.
