Heard he played well for the reserves... hope he's making a claim for the right spot...

He must get a chance sooner or later with our injuries, I think SAF doesnt want to play him in a big game like Arsenal and Pool.

Blanc and O'Shea even if Gaz is fit.

He was very good against So'ton last home game, and i have no doubts he will be again. Away from home is a different matter however.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I would be surprised if Seba plays.
It's already said that the Prem. is too fast for him, so he's not likely to be any quicker having just flown back from Japan. Also, he will be needed against Basle.
Not worth the risk imo.

That'd be my team too. Diego hasn't had much of a chance since he's scored the two goals and I think he can do well for us on the right. It'll give us one more player out there with pace besides Giggs, with the added bonus of having an additional scoring threat on the pitch. He also links up play well and I can see him creating chances for Ole and Ruud.

i think spoony might be on to something...
he's played well everytime teams come to defend..thus giving him space....
wonder if Newcastle play this way tomorrow?

Do Newcastle play defensive football??
Anyroad, he'll be jet=lagged.

Forlan seems to prefer playing deep and is pretty good haring up the flanks and putting in crosses.
And as we're short on goals, it makes sense to utilise all three of our strikers if we can. With Giggsy's goal scoring record at OT not exactly the best, it's a bit risky to play him as a striker.

i think they will at OT..
don't most teams, soak up the pressure and hit us on the break..? (at OT)

Going to be a fun game. <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />
I'm not expecting too much from today tbh. We're likely to field a team that on the whole is inferior to Newcastle. I don't mean in terms of individual quality - but they have been playing as a settled side for a while now, and we haven't had a settled side at all. Got to make a difference.
