Congratulations to Giggs on his 800th game, fantastic player. I thought he had got the perfect reward with his goal, but nevermind.

Fergie says there will be changes to the midfield and strikeforce for the Boro game, I do hope it doesn't cost us.

evans and brown expected to play (at least some part) against boro.

cracking quote from ferguson:
"They can play Pat Rice at right-back and Arsene himself at centre-forward on Saturday," said Ferguson.

"We have to play a team to win the game."

He could go for somthing like Park, Scholes, Anderson, Nani, with Berba and Rooney/Ronaldo up front.

Some of those hardly played or didn't play at all.

I wouldn't be surprised if it looked something like this TBH.

Foster

O'Shea
Vidic
Evans
Evra

Park
Scholes
Gibson
Nani

Berbatov
Welbeck

Don't think he will go to that extreme. He could even play Giggs and Scholes together in the centre of midfield with Park and Nani out wide and have a complete fresh set of players. Berba will definatley play and I think one of Rooney/Ronaldo will start upfront.

I'd consider resting O'Shea and playing Rafael too.

I'd rather he didn't. Giggs may play just behind Berba/other striker.

He may start Tevez with Berbatov, but it depends on how he wants to play at the Emirates, IMO it should be just like last night, in which case I'd rest Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo.

A side similar to the one that we used in the FA semi wouldn't be too bad, as long as the bench has Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez on just in case they are needed.

Rafael is injured isn't he?

In which case, we may see Brown start at RB.

At least you could blame all your ills on it, just like Wanchor Warnock.

All our own doing unfortunately. We just need a little luck and help from other teams to give us a chance of staying up.

EDIT: Carragher own goal would be nice on Sunday.
