Villa vs United - 7.1.06 Kick off 2pm - FA Cup

[tomo]

Got this from the BBC gossip page:

Manchester United will give Henrik Larsson a debut on Sunday in the FA Cup against Aston Villa, as Wayne Rooney will be given a 10-day break. (Various)

So he'll rest Rooney for the two home games against Villa then I guess.

[Busby Boy]

Yeah, that's what bringing back Rossi and Dong, signing Larsson has enabled us to do. Saha is out for two weeks, Rooney rested for ten days they should be fresh and raring to go for the Champions League and rest of the Premiership campaign.

[sahahahaha]

There's a couple of digs at Park in this thread, can't understand that, He was unlucky not too score but he really lit the place up when he came on I thought, and skinned Newcatse to help create our 2nd goal.

I'd like to see Heinze and Brown start at the back. I'd also like to see Rossi start with Solskjear an Larsson come on later into th game because i'm not sure of his fitness and think he'd have more impact comming on from the bench.

Love to see Dong play some part in the game, and also think Giggs needs a rest.

VDS

G.Neville Brown Vidic Heinze

Park Flecther Scholes Ronaldo

............Ole.....Rossi..........

Yeh it would be nice to see Rossi start but I'm pretty sure he'll be on the bench, with Ole and Larsson up front.

I agree, I thought he was a positive influence on us when he came on and considering how long he was out for I think he's done really well since he's come back, his energy levels are amazing and he must be a nightmare for the opposition trying to track him as he never stops.

It'd be nice to see players like Rossi and Dong feature at some point too, though I doubt it'll be from the start.

Were we watching the same player against Newcastle or what?

Aside from maybe once or twice, every time Park got the ball he lost it or wasted it, constantly, he was terrible against Newcastle, the only thing he did do was open the game up a little which in turn gave Scholes the space to score and ditto with Newcastle.

Not saying he's crap, he's done ok since he's come back considering how long he was out for but christ, he was terrible against Newcastle.

Well you can have your opinions and I'll have mine, he was far from terrible, in the second half yes he trailed off and was less effective with the ball but when he first came on and at the beginning of the second half he helped lift the team and it's down to him that we scored the second goal, I'm not saying he was fantastic but he was better than some players and had an overall positive effect on the team.

[schmeichelstarjump!]

i cant wait to see larsson play for us i am getting excited already #yahoo# and i will go for a 2-1 united win.

[Rais.n.Hell]

I'll be going with 2-0...it will be interesting to see Larsson come up on the pitch and wreck havoc...I would change Richardson for Park though Adam.

[mike620]

Just read that Kiraly will be allowed to play against us as Crystal Palace gave him permission to play even though it will cause him to be cuptied for the rest of the tournament.

[Nailer]

My team would be

Kusczak

Brown - Ferdinand - Vidic - Heinze

Ronaldo - Fletcher - Carrick - Park

Larsson - Solskjaer

I'd like to see Heinze playing, and I'de like to see Rossi come one. We shouldnt take them lightly, so im going for a strong team.

I predict a 2-0 win.

[Tatty]

It IS Ole and Larsson up-front. SAF even said so.

[Vidic>Superman]

Will be very exciting to see how Larsson gets on but i don't think we should expect too much from him in his first game as we could be disapointed which wouldn't be good, but having so many options like we do is great for the team and great for competition between the players for those positions, would like to see Rossi feature at some point, he could come on with Larsson that would be pretty good

[Busby Boy]

I want Richardson to start because I really want him to impress and show the talent we all know he has.

Yeh I know he has potential, but at the moment I just can't stand him. He has had chances to show us the talent. I can remember one game when he impressed me, last game of last season against Charlton.
