the good thing about our current squad now is, with the
exception of scholes and giggs, most of our players are still young
and energertic.. the chacne for a double this close has not come in
a long while and i'm pretty sure every singleone of our players
with the full support of millions of fans around the world are
gonna give a 110% for every remaining matches... the return leg
played with our backed up players alread y proved the depth our
team strength..
I belief the heart may be willing but the body and legs still
needs a good rest... The problem for United this time will be the
timing of the matches... Its very unfortunate that the Chelsea
match is in between the 2 legs CL matches... United play away to
Blackburn on the 19 and Barce on the 23... so you can expect Fergie
to change some players but away to Blackburn isn't going to be easy
even if the first 11 steps out let alone fringe players...
And if first 11 are used against Barce, then they only
have 2 and a half days of rest compare to Chelsea 3 and a
half when the meet on the 26 early kick off
7:45pm... After this is over, they play Barce again on the
29... So you see our matches is rather too close to each other.
United play on the 19, 23, 26 & 29.
Chelsea play on the 17, 22, 26 & 30.
Chelsea got a better timetable than united. They get extra 1 day
of rest before they play United and another extra day
rest for their 2nd leg CL match...
I am only alittle worried that United have to play 4 very
important matches in 10 days whereas Chelsea has 13 days
almost 2 weeks... It could take its toll on the players...
