I think Hernandez may get the nod as well.

I'm not confident that Evra will start though, but if I were a betting man it would be my bet nonetheless.

**three3-times** · 09-19-2012

Hernadez? nah, he wont play 442 unless we need to for the win.

**Tutankhamun** · 09-19-2012

I really think whomever starts in goal should also play at Anfield. You want a confident goalie with a game to his boots there.

**manutdfan** · 09-19-2012

Lindergaard
Rafa vidic ferdy buttner
Nani Kagawa Scholes Carrick Valencia
RVP

I'm not sure if who plays tonight will play at anfield Fergie isn't afraid to rotate his keepers.

Granted you attacked in the last 20mins and came very close, but like the great man (jose) said, Real desereved to win!

had to laugh at your fans mugging off Roy keane though!

Proud of the fact we gave them a game. Proud of the fact this is how far City have come. Of course they were going to best us, they are the best in the world in my eyes, and of course they deserved to win. But we came close to pulling something off something special.

To go and get 2 goals is something to be proud of, we can definitely beat them at the Etihad I am sure of it.

How do you think we'll line up tonight? Just RVP up top or Welbeck or Chicho with him?

Close to a famous win at one point! Only Arsenal and Liverpool have beat Madrid on their own soil.

**Tutankhamun** · 09-19-2012

I don't mind rotating the keepers either, but not in such a big game as it'll be on Sunday.

Your the richest club in the world and champions of England, you should be able to give ANYONE a game

**LC77** · 09-19-2012

Not a fan of rotating goalkeepers, especially a young one. Fergie really has a bad history of managing keepers. He never comes out and says a striker missed a sitter, and then drops him for the error but he's very quick to be critical of his keeper.

I still think the blunder for the Fulham goal, should've been placed at the feet of Vidic. Why was he not screaming at his keeper... miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine?

And on the subject of keepers. Joe Hart.

**manutdfan** · 09-19-2012

Just seems Fergie isn't afraid to make the big calls and rotate his keepers even in the big games. We're lucky to have too good goalkeepers at the club. I think lindergaard will need games to keep him happy.

**Shibby** · 09-19-2012

Doesn't matter who you put in goal against us. Any shots we do take are either off target or directly at the keeper.

@nickcoppack

Good team, if accurate.

Nah we just drop our game against others haha. I'm more excited to see some youth players tomorrow honestly. Not feeling good about Sunday at all. Don't think you could pick a better time to play us, we're extremely low on confidence. A first win would give us a big boost for the rest of the season though.

**Tutankhamun** · 09-19-2012

You're definitely not on the same level as we. But it'll be an emotional days for Liverpool and their fans and that should fire your team up. We'll need experienced players who won't get caught up in the occasion.

**manutdfan** · 09-19-2012

Could work against Liverpool like it did for us against City in the Munich 50 year anniversary.

**Tutankhamun** · 09-19-2012

Good first half. Sopcast has stopped working so having a few issues finding a stream...

**Shibby** · 09-19-2012

Since you guys haven't been watching the match, thought I'd share. What a goal from Oscar..

**manutdfan** · 09-19-2012

Lucky to be winning need to up our game in the 2nd half, need that 2nd goal. They should of had penalty in first minute..

And we gave them a game, gave them a bit of a worry I'd say, not performance wise but we almost pulled off a smash and grab.

United though, well, I didn't watch the game but following United fans on Twitter told me all I need to know. Average.

If you give me a choice between almost pulling off a smash and grab and three points. I'll take the points in a New York second 8 days a week.

I thought I was the only one having this issue.

It's nice to see Fletcher out there again. Solid player.

Cheech should've scored once. He had plenty of service in the brief time that was in.

**three3-times** · 09-20-2012

Lol. Outplayed by Galatasary at home. Still, clean sheet and 3 points..............

**mankind** · 09-20-2012

Its my 30th birthday tomorrow and my gf got me this for the party she is having for me

"Dear Supporter,

"The great support you gave the team here last season has seen our allocation back up to near-full levels. I want you to continue that progress today.

"But today is about much more than not blocking gangways. Today is about thinking hard about what makes United the best club in the world.

"Our rivalry with Liverpool is based on a determination to come out on top - a wish to see us crowned the best against a team that held that honour for so long.

"It cannot and should never be based on personal hatred. Just ten days ago, we heard the terrible, damning truth about the deaths of 96 fans who went to watch their team try and reach the FA Cup final and never came back.

"What happened to them should wake the conscience of everyone connected with the game.

"Our great club stands with our great neighbours Liverpool today to remember that loss and pay tribute to their campaign for justice. I know I can count on you to stand with us in the best traditions of the best fans in the game.
