Wouldn't say no to that team, but like to see Nani, maybe rest Valencia

Lindegaard

Smalling Rio Evans Evra
Nani Fletcher Anderson Young

Rooney Hernandez

If we draw tonight we qualify. Not sure if people are aware of that.

You don't play with wingers in a narrow formation like that, especially not in the centre midfield spots. Cleverley isn't a holding midfielder either.

If we draw tonight we qualify. Not sure if people are aware of that.

-------------------------------------------

And if we win we finish top.

Aye Red Side, but even if we do draw i'm sure we'll pick up 2 more points from our last 2 games with whatever teams we put out.

................

You don't start wqith a defender who hasn't played one single game all season, either.

Sir Alex has a history of throwing players in at the deep end. The fact Smalling's in the squad means that he may very well start. Put him at right back because Rafael has played 120 minutes against Chelsea and 90 mins against Arsenal in the past 7 days.

i get the feeling rafael could play 120 minutes everyday all season with the engine he has

smalling wouldn't be in the squad if he isn't capable of starting

Rafael's a very fit lad and I think he'll start but I have had a feeling in the back of my mind that Valencia could possibly play at right back tonight.

thats a good shout about valecnia

Yeah, Valencia and Nani could be a very potent threat going forward.
Just remembering that both of Braga's goals came from our right so we might need to keep it tight there tonight.

Maybe Rafael will start!

I have the line up, Rafael starts in CM with Smalling at RB

The fact Smalling's in the squad means that he may very well start.

......................

By that kind of logic, we should also expect Powell to start.

I've a feeling we'll see the diamond again.

Rafael Rio Evans Evra
Carrick
Cleverly Anderson

RVP Hernandez

Hope not though. It was terribly exposed against them last time.

How many minutes game time has he had this season, just out of interest?

VC vs ROB this should be fun

Smalling has played in a CL semi final. Powell hasn't!
