Terry Cheung Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Win the next two home league games and there should be enough to see in the run-in. We were always going to slip up at one of the tricky away games, just a little surprising it was Portsmouth after getting through the previous ones. If we'd lost at Blackburn and then beaten Pompey everyone would be saying we're back on track, so let's not get too down. Still in the driving seat and Ronaldo and Rooney are still fit. Rio looking horribly lost without Vidic though. Probably need Brown next to him and put O'Shea at right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjburrage Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hard choice between Vida and Nev for me. The rest of the team has done well enough without the others, but the defence has looked significantly more shaky since those two got injured.

No Longer Bling Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 think id take vidic. obvious advantage of shoring the defence up but weve looked toothless from set pieces since he went attacking wise as well with no natural player to aim for.

Nick OGS20 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 i think i'd go for Vidic as well, on the proviso that Paddy gets back in soon. Gaby's done alright but just doesn't offer anywhere near as much going forward, and with Gary out on the other side we have nothing coming from full-back areas that will worry opponents (which was incredibly evident on saturday) and it's very easy to double up on Ronaldo, whichever flank he's playing on.

mark g Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Saha for me. While we've been getting goals from all areas, we've lacked a focal point to the attack. However, more importantly than that, having to start Giggs and Ronaldo up front has left us looking light in midfield, so it kills two birds with one stone. And what Nick said about Evra. The fact that he's been available for the bench for the last couple of games worries me that there's something in the rumour that he's fit, but isn't playing because he's fallen out with Fergie.

Gazz22 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I'd choose Vidic too. But I really want to see Evra back in the team. Our full-backs give us far more options in attack. Heinze and O'Shea just aren't good enough attacking wise. One match that this was evident in was away to Sheffield Utd. We were one down but Nev and Evra almost played as wingers. We managed to heap pressure on them and Evra played a part in both goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alilaw Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I'd take Saha, for the same reasons mark said. Assuming his fitness for the rest of the season was 'guaranteed', he'd have a good few more goals in him.

The Frenchman has missed the last seven matches with a hamstring problem and injuries have limited him to just three starts since the turn of the year. It had been thought that the Reds striker was edging closer to his comeback, but after complaining of a tight hamstring while the team trained in Rome last week, Sir Alex Ferguson is keen not to risk the Parisian against Roma. “He’s not fit,†said the boss. “He felt his hamstring was a bit tight in training on Friday in Rome. Therefore, we have to be on the cautious side. “There’s no point in bringing somebody back who is not 100% fit and then them suffering further injury. Maybe he will be fit for Saturday’s cup tie against Watford, but not for the Roma game.†The good news for United is that there were no further injuries after Saturday’s defeat to Portsmouth on Saturday. “We’ve got no injuries after Saturday,†added the boss. “The good thing is that we came out of that game without any more injuries. “For, Tuesday, obviously Paul Scholes won’t be available [due to suspension] so we’ll have to make a decision about that one.†Sir Alex, who may call on Ryan Giggs or Darren Fletcher to fill the void left by Scholes, is without Gary Neville (ankle), Nemanja Vidic (collar bone), Mikael Silvestre (shoulder), Ji-sung Park (knee). </div></BLOCKQUOTE> what a surprise won't shed any tears if louis does one in the summer, just a complete liability Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
