I expect Utd to line up like this:-

VDS
Fletcher, O'Shea, Rio, Evra
Ronaldo, Carrick, Giggs, Park
Rooney, Berba

A score draw would be good.

Where has thetalentboy gone? I used to love his Hull City posts:

We've got one of the best away records in the league, I'm confident we can push [insert name of any team infinitely better than Hull City] all the way and get at least a draw.

Man city have offered 10 million to get Geo back.

Turner is the best centre back in England (c).

All joking aside, as horrific as there recent record is, Hull are STILL well placed to stay up which, with a squad that lacking in quality, would still be a remarkable achivement. What is also impressive is that they've managed to have second season syndrome in their first season. Excellent stuff.

City's biggest problem is scoring goals, Bullard was exactly what they needed and its a major blow to them having him out. They seem low on confidence right now, one win and I think they will pick up again and get safe, its how and when the win will come?

Evra cost about 5.5m btw

I heard that on the way home last night - I think it was him and Vidic that cost a total of around £12m.

TBF we have played Neville at CB a couple of times and Evra is, well lets say, a little bit more mobile than Neville.

Admittedly it will be a massive risk in a game of this size but it's a risk we might be forced to take. Evra does have a good leap on him as well.

Neville started off at centre half and adapted to right back when he broke into the United team. Evra at centre back worries me. Hopefully the Irish maestro will play and relieve that issue. We need Evra at left back to team up with Park on Maicon.

I remember the Talentboy saying he knew for a fact that Liverpool and Man City were after him, I remember him saying wait until January when we reject your approaches, or something along those lines

He's another player that never has a good game whenever I watch him play.

If it wasn't for the Mourihno factor, I would expect United to get a draw at the very least.

I just hope that United draw Braca in the next round.

Ideally, I would like a Liverpool-Barca final.

Same here, people bill him as the best full back in the world, and he starts over Alves for Brazil, but I never see it.

He had a decent derby against Milan t'other week, but when I've seen him for Brazil and the two games against us, as well as a few Inter games last season, he didn't seem much special, certainly not better than Alves.
