Ole cant be happy with that. He might expect SAF to leave him on the bench to accomodate Keane, Butt and Veron, but 'seemingly' rushing Scholes back cant fill him with confidence.

I'm sure we'll see him on later, I hope he gets at least half an hour.

Come on the boys

ps. Is Micky defo - just said on Radio five that Roche might be playing right back??
 
So who actually knows the line up then?

Amir, stop rewriting my posts before I've written them.

Right, I'm off down the boozer. If anyone turns up with an official thread ask them which authority vouched for it. And call him a spunk monkey. That'll send him packing.

Enjoy the match.
 
well...I'm inside the stadium now...kind of...just managed to tune in to 1413 AM...sounds like it's being bounced of the dark side of the moon but I can just about make it out.

I'll bet Carroll isn't happy either.

The Fergie code of loyalty and ethics strikes again.

(O'Shea was man of the match against Chelsea and was promptly dropped for the next game).

It's Fergie's code of picking the team and the formation he thinks is right. Come on, Wes eventually crumbled under the pressure when we were forced to rely on him all the time a couple of years back. We can afford to let O'Shea grow slowly, let him!

As for Carroll, he was indecisive a bit against Chelsea and made a big error against Sunderland. We have Barthez coming back and a goalkeeper who hasn't even had a taste of the bench yet. Nothing wrong with that decision I feel.

Ahh. I see. :) Thought you were doing a Gazza. ;)

It is clear Ricardo has been signed to put some pressure on Barthez.
Carroll has done OK...but I think he has played to the limit of his ability.
Ricardo is now our #2 it would seem...let's see what happens the next time Fab picks up an injury or drops a clanger.

Carroll was a bit indecisive, so gets dropped, despite previous good performances. Unlike others who can be crap every game and still get in the side. Totally inconsistent imo.

Wes Brown is nowhere near the class of John O'Shea. Fergie used to believe if you were good enough, you were old enough.

And OGS plays with the knowledge that if he doesn't score he's unlikely to play the next game, and if he does score he's still not likely to because it shows his value off the bench.

I'll be pleased if we put in a good performance and get all the points, but it won't change my mind about Fergie's man management.

Carroll was a bit indecisive and cost us points. His performances were adequate but certainly nothing to write home about. He could be injured anyway, we just can't tell.

As for Wes, when he first broke he was considered a huge talent. And when Jaap was injured and Wes was a regular in 2000/01 he was sheer brilliance until that OG against Valencia. O'Shea's great but so was Brown in his earlier days (though I feel he still is).

Three points would be lovely, nice to see Beckham being rewarded with the armband.
 
Greening seems to be involved quite a lot for Boro so far..hope he doesn't come back to haunt us tonight.
 
Greening looking for Macarrone it seems is their out ball all the time.
 
we are in control...but why oh why are we playing one up front at home against a defensive team...Greening in hard on Blanc.....
 
Boro comfortable...Veron...United moving it around well...still not connecting with the attack
 
Giggsy's crossing has been abysmal so far.
