JawD 31 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 We've got more chance of winning the FA Cup that any of the rest. We're cursed in the League Cup so forget about that, we can't win the Premiership because Ashley is the only billionaire in football who won't spend his money, and the Europa League has Tottenham, Atletico Madrid, Anzhi, Inter Milan, Napoli, Lyon, OM (imagine if Barton came here with them), and PSV, all of whom are better than us, plus we're playing our reserves and there'll be other good sides dropping out the Champions League. Man City have spent >£1Billion on transfers to get where they are. I dont expect MA to wipe out his fortune on us, but fuck me whats the point of owning us if he's chucked the towel in and said it must fend for itself. He has turned our fortune around financially, but Im sure the odd £10M input once a year wouldnt go a miss and would make a huge difference on the pitch. Anyway, not sure if we'll play all kids or not for this game. Not expecting anything from it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinh9 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'd go: Harper Perch Williamson Colo Santon Amalfitano Anita Tiote Marveaux Shola Cisse Give Anita a run out in the middle of the park and let him be the one with the more attacking mindset of the 2 CM's instead of restricting him to being defensive, as he hasn't really got a foothold in the games he's played being the defensive midfielder. This looks perfect to me. Mix in a few first team starters. If we start playing the first XI in every match we won't make it to March without being decimated by injury. There should have been more investment in this team because we knew we'd have all these games, but there wasn't and there isn't much we can do about it now. For those who want a full squad- would you rest the team against Reading? Fair enough if your priorities lie elsewhere, but I'd basically play this type of team until the semi-finals. Some of you are acting like it's guaranteed we win this competition if we start our best team. What happens if we make it to semis, lose, and have sacrificed points along the way in the league? Are our players going to stay because we finished 12th and made the League Cup Semi-finals? This problem is really going to pop up more and more as the season goes on. If we reach the knock-out stages of the Europa League and are in-reach of the top 6 in the league- we are going to have to set priorities. The squad simply isn't big enough to do both. Real shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Think it will be a surprisingly good game, and we'll win 2-3. As I said though I don't care if we lose. Shit cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real shame What is guaranteed is that not playing our first team will result in the usual early exit of all cup competitions. Hey Ho though, we can then concentrate on securing a european spot. Time to change priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffer 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Unless it is a Champion's League spot does anybody really give a rat's arse? I'd rather decline participation in europe if we don't finish 4th or better and concentrate on winning a domestic trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8989 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 After it was revealed Nemanja Vidic will miss eight weeks after undergoing knee surgery, winger Antonio Valencia, 27, left the club's Carrington training ground on crutches with his right foot in a protective boot. I know it's unlikely that either would have taken the field tonight, but given they're not available, Ferguson may drop from his 2nd choice team to his third Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16653 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I was in the mind of fielding a weakend team earlier this week and last week due to the upcoming games. However, with the injuries that Man Ure have and with Man City & Everton going out, we could possibly have a good chance at this. Although the Chelsea result was something and Arsenal havent played yet. Hmmm. Its a tough choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 So according to Lee Ryder Obertan, Coloccini, Tiote and Shola will all start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone seen him play?...is he a poacher or has he more of the Pedro about him?....is he able to create for himself and others? if its the latter then he should be playing in the likes of this game. If he doesnt get involved further back in the build up then its a bit more tricky to include him iyam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks lost on the pitch. Watching him go for headers was like a scene from Monty Python. I would be surprised if he made it with the big boys.
