3-0 United. Pretty confident for this one :). Im hoping for a 4-3-3 with Nani and Hernandez supporting Berba.
 
0-0. Tough game, Mata should do well against your full backs, Soldado is always a threat, Banega's so under-rated.Hope it's not 0-0 though

like chelsea they have done well against smaller sides but they stuttered in their first big test against athletico. they are not quick at the back, and we have pace in abundance, and no problem scoring goals. tough game, but united are definitely capable of a win here. score draw most likely though
 
What is the obsession with polls suddenly? :$

couldn't agree more. tonight will be tough there is no doubt about it, we are more than capable of beating Valencia though.

Wow.. 3 strikers on the bench.

Sort of surprised at no Owen, but I guess he doesn't want to be too open.
 
looks a very strong side, happy O'Shea isn't playing and Rafeal is getting a chance.

pace on pace. hes up against mata, rafael needs to have a big game though. he cant get caught out becuase his pace wont save against against someone who is almost as quick. also he can pin mata back with his runs

thats why he is there, to deal with the threat of pace. i think he will be ok though, he offers something different when going forward as well other than O'Shea, I think its a good move by Sir Alex.

aye, a much more dynamic play than big john. Looking at the side think SAF has been reluctant to play him because scholes isnt mobile enough to cover him while valencia is out, and you wont get that tracking back from nani. plus when its 3v3 in midfield the most free players are the fullbacks, so tactically, attacking fullbacks can often provide the greatest threat on the pitch
 
Soldado and Mata will be a big threat for united tonight , United have a strong defence though

I agree, Rafeal isn't very disclipined and won't come back and defend after attacking but thats just inexperience for you. On the flip side, when we're attacking, i'd rather have Rafeal making darting runs and overlaps than O'Shea
