We've got to capitalize on the chances we create at Pompey! United has WAY too much talent to come away from these sort of games without scoring goals and winning.
Pompey will not be nearly as generous as Reading! We must WIN!! Come on lads!!!!
......BTW.....anyone notice Hanhnemann's shout out..."fucking hell"...after making his 653rd save of the game??? Funny shite!!!

This is going to be a tough match, as trips to Fratton Park usually are. Not having Rooney is going to be a big blow but we dominated the last match so if we can control possession and Tevez can make the best of it then we should be able to get the win. I'm hoping Scholes, Carrick and Giggsy have a better outing as well because we need to keep the goal scoring threat from all angles to keep Pompey on their toes.

Vds Brown,Rio,Vida,Silvestre .............Carrick Ronni......................Giggs .............Scholes .......Tevez........Anderson As far as I'm concerned I would even consider Campbell upfront! As long as we have our colors around those Defenders (unlike the past given Sunday, but what I heard from Fergie points to a lone Tevez upfront) #boxing# Weird one ot put Silvestre ahead of Ecra, he is rubbish. I doubt Fergie will change much, most likely we will start the same team apart from Rooney with Tevez coming. I would like Evra back at left back and Nani coming in though, he will give us much more options. |

But with Evra in the back four there would be a need of Owen as a Nr. 6 because i don't trust Evra in terms of defending! I would have put Heinze in there if he wasn't hurt and I guess that would have been even more unpopular! So long man utdxtreme hope we get away with 3 points anyway! |

Ok, Tough game! Just need to make sure we win and in order to do that we need to choose the right team. A mixture of youth and experience, we shouldn`t panic and throw players like andrson, Tevez and Nani into the frame because this indeed is an away match.
So here is my line up:
GK: VDS
RB:O`Shea
CB:Rio Ferdinand
CB: Vidic
LB:Evra
MR: Nani
CM: Scholes
DM: Hargreaves
AM: Carrick
ML: Ronaldo
ST: Tevez
Carrick can attack when he is told too. Just remember the Roma game last year. Scholes to control the flow and Hargreaves to secure the back four and press forwaed when attacking. Ronaldo and Nani to cut in from the wings causing the Pompey defence to defend against 3 strikers.

I'm going to guess we'll prolly play 4-3-3 this weekend,
VDS
Brown, Rio, Vidic, Evra (No. Silvestre did not have a good match against Reading.)
Hargreaves, Scholes, Carrick
Ronaldo, Tevez, Giggs.
That's the squad I expect in one shape or another, although the formation might be different, and I'll always be hoping for the posssibility of playing 4-4-2.
We need to win tomorrow. No excuses.

Brown - Rio - Vida - Evra
Ronaldo - Carrick - Owen - Giggs
Scholes
Tevez

SIR Alex Ferguson is convinced old mate Harry Redknapp has proved there is no substitute for experience in the management game.
After guiding Portsmouth to safety from an almost impossible position two seasons ago, Redknapp had the south coast outfit on the fringes of a UEFA Cup spot for much of last term.
Pompey's form eventually dipped but a ninth-place finish represented their best effort since they sealed back-to-back titles 57 years ago.
Redknapp's reward was to be provided with enough cash to sign outstanding Ghanian midfielder Sulley Muntari, top-class defender Sylvain Distin, England striker David Nugent, plus fellow forward John Utaka, who opened his account in Saturday's draw at Derby.
The squad strengthening exercise should allow Pompey to punch their weight in the top half of the Barclays Premier League once more this term, with Ferguson feeling Redknapp is landing a blow for veteran bosses everywhere.
"There was a period where a lot of club chairmen got enamoured by top players and made them managers at Premier League level virtually the very next day," said Ferguson.
"That was always a risk."Now, there seems to be a reliance on older managers such as Harry, Steve Coppell and Sam Allardyce.
"They all have teams who are respectable in terms of both performance and the positions they have got themselves into.
"Certainly Harry has loads of experience and I think you can expect improvement from Portsmouth this season."
After his team opened the defence of their title in such disappointing fashion against Reading on Sunday, Ferguson will hope Portsmouth take a bit of time to achieve the improvement he predicts.
United were beaten at Fratton Park last term, a sinking feeling they have suffered on three of their last four visits to Pompey's cramped little ground.
Two points behind all their major championship rivals already, the Red Devils can not afford to slip up again if they are not to find themselves playing an unwanted game of catch-up.
Their task is just made more difficult by the absence of Wayne Rooney, sidelined for two months by the fractured foot he sustained in a collision with Reading's Michael Duberry at the weekend.
Carlos Tevez will replace Rooney, although for United's sake, it is to be hoped the Argentina star does not make the same hesistant start to his United career as he did at West Ham.MEN |
