Welbeck does seem to play well in big games....

No Vidic?
No Nani?
We must trust Fergie, amigos.

Can't believe Cleverley not selected. I hope in his absence Kagawa is playing centrally although that means Rooney wide - and in these situations he is often restricted to a defensive role.
Every time I look at Real Madrid's squad on paper it boggles the mind how they are 16 pts back in the league right now. They should be doing better, no doubt about it.
I love Fergie
This is gonna be so exciting!

Will miss Vidic on defensive setpieces. Ronaldo is a monstor in the air.
Think he was the ref in our away against Braga. Other than that I have no idea.
The smile on Fergie's face then... Convinced he's coming to United when Fergie goes.
This is the most excited I've seen Fergie in a long long time

Well Jones has the quite obvious flaw of poor passing (especially when playing in midfield) which could seriously harm us against a team such as Madrid especially, so I was wondering why that comment was deserving of a
It was just the blanket statement that "he's a disaster waiting to happen". That's really unfair.
You've put better, so you don't get one. I agree it's somewhat of a risk in a fluid team, but he's there for a reason and he did that job very well against Everton. That's probably why we have little width today.
Blimey, thought Cleverley was a shoe in for the big games these days.
No wingers either.
Huge game for Jones. Can he cut it against this level of opponent out of position? Will he jut be wandering around following Ronaldo step by step? Probably a billion times harder to man mark Ronaldo than Fellaini!
Gonna be a pulse racing game!

WTF was that question?!

Shreeves is a tit.
Fair enough about vidic then. I don't get this decision regarding Cleverley though. He just helps us keep the ball better.
Ugh, son in Jose and grandson in Ronaldo? fecks sake.
Yes, but the games at chelsea,arsenal,liverpool, arsenal and city are big and we did pretty well.
How the feck is mourinho looking so calm??

Left the wine on the plane.
Left the wine on the plane.4-2-3-1 so. I'd prefer if Cleverley got the nod instead of Jones, and Nani ahead of Welbeck, but you can see why Fergie didn't. Jones and Welbeck are among the hardest workers in the squad - along with Rooney and Kagawa - so you can see exactly how we'll be playing tonight. Lots of energy and workrate, and hoping to hit them on the break.
Very excited seeing this line-up.
Ramos also a threat.
Our biggest loss tonight will be Cleverley, while he might not the best defensively he would help us keep the ball much better and in the long run that will probably be better.
Gangnam Style... really Madrid? That is one YouTube joke that escalated too far.
Valencia, Jones and Rafael need to shut Ronaldo down tonight. But if he get's frustrated there he's just gonna switch wings to terrorise our left. It's gonna be tricky!
Still I like the team. We are just attacking enough. Hopefully we can keep supplying our attackers because they will stretch Real's defence, and they can be the difference.

Welbeck is due a goal. The stage is set.
George Best on the telly again. Great night.
From the Guardian
The positive with Welbeck is he will have plenty of space to attack and when he gets going he is difficult to catch.
Fair enough, I was just wondering if you were one of the "no pessimism or criticism or a players ability" brigade.
And I think he'll do well when we don't have the ball today, though its a big step up from Fellaini to Ronaldo, I just worry that playing him means we won't have the ball as much as we otherwise would.
WTF ? Son, grandson ?! eh?
I think he meant Real Madrid.
Racist skysports showing Kagawa while Gangnam style is on.
I think it's probably because of his stamina. He'll surely make an appearance and help us finish the game. We've been very nervous in finishing games and it's partially because of his lack of stamina
Hmmm, SAF certainly gave the impression that when Jose comes back to England, he'll be retired.
Anyway, that's for another thread.
Come on UNITED!

The one who gave a few stupid decisions against us like that the dive when Anderson was no where near the player? Oh Joy.
The negative thing about him though is that his finishing hasn't been good this year.. I hope I reverse-jinxed it now...
Dunno where they got that number from but I assume the majority wouldn't have put Welbeck in the team
Watching this from a 4 inch screen while at work.
Souness dropping the "take RVP's goals out of united and see where they are"
What a muppet.
