Confused Clarity Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 The Side that played: MANCHESTER UNITED: GK 1 Schmeichel RB 2 G. Neville CB 6 Stam CB 5 Johnsen LB 3 Irwin LW 15 Blomqvist (- 67') CM 8 Butt CM 7 Beckham RW 11 Giggs CF 9 Cole (- 81') CF 19 Yorke Substitutes: GK 17 van der Gouw DF 4 May DF 12 P. Neville DF 24 Brown MF 34 Greening CF 10 Sheringham 90 +1' (+ 67') CF 20 Solskjær 90 +2' (+ 81') So from that you have to then look at the fact that we would only be allowed 3 Non English players and 2 Assimilated players - Players who'd come through the English system or were naturalised "Englishmen" Giggs and Irwin Would fall under this rule. Therefore, you're looking at a likely side having been: GK: Schmeichel (FGN) RB: Garry Neville CB: May Or Brown CB: Stam (FGN) LB: Irwin (Assim) LW: Giggs (Assim) CM: Butt CM: Phil Neville RW: Beckham CF: Cole CF: Yorke (FGN) Arguments could be made for Jesper to have started of course or for Johnsen. Also for Solskjaer to have been on the bench, but from our match day squad, thats what i would have expcected to start given the roles in the team at the time.

Mika Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 To add to what Nick said: <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Keeper joins Toffees United goalkeeper Tim Howard will make his loan move to Everton permanent at the end of the season. The 27-year-old USA international joined the Reds in the summer of 2003 from MLS side MetroStars as the successor to Febian Barthez. He immediately impressed, saving the decisive penalty in the Community Shield against Arsenal on his debut. Howard, who became the first American to play for United, was first choice for the Reds in his debut season at Old Trafford. He went on to be named in the PFA Best XI at the end of the campaign and picked up an FA Cup winners' medal. The following season he shared goalkeeping duties with Roy Carroll. However, his opportunities were limited with the arrival of United's current No.1 Edwin van der Sar in 2005. In May 2006, a deal was agreed with Everton for the New Jersey-born keeper to spend the season on loan at Goodison Park, where he has been first-choice under David Moyes. Everyone at the club would like to wish Tim well in the future. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Best of luck to him, really thought we had struck gold with him at first but ah well.
