ManChester United vs Reading

Post your prematch discussions here.

We all know Reading is a 'Giant Killer' , just coming from a draw at Stamford Bridge is no small feat for any club. And we should be extra careful. Only drawback is Scholes and Vidic will both be suspended for this game for collecting 5 yellow cards.

Post your preferable line up here Very Happy

Respect Reading as they can be the underdogs~

iceFatboy SG

without scholes and vidic, we may need to kill them off early..

but the key was the MF, reading did really well there even Chelsea was shaken.

zocoss SG

Not to mention Carrick too... Looks like united have to come up with a new midfield pair... Fletcher and Giggs / O'Shea? Neutral

Man Utd (1) v Reading (9)

Michael Carrick returns to the Manchester United squad for tomorrow's clash with Reading at Old Trafford after an ankle injury. Paul Scholes and Nemanja Vidic are suspended, so Rio Ferdinand is set to return along with Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Louis Saha, who all sat out the Boxing Day win over Wigan.

Reading have no new injury worries ahead of tomorrow's trip to Manchester United. Winger Bobby Convey is back in training following a knee operation but will not be considered for the Old Trafford clash. Striker Dave Kitson is also on the comeback trail.

Anyone besides me thinks that we r conceding late goals.. especially more often since silvestre has been playing these couple of games to rotate the squad?

i think he should be offloaded man.. cmi

dinky1409 SG

Van Der Sar : 6.5
Brown : 7
Ferdinand : 7
Silvestre : 6.5
Heinze : 7
Ronaldo : 8.5
Carrick : 7.5
O'Shea : 7
Park Ji Sung : 7
Solksjaer : 7.5
Rooney : 7.5
Giggs : 7.5
Richardson : 6.5
Fletcher : 6.5

Once again no need long balls and we got another win.. Great attacking play by Man U.. Silvestre a liability.. Brown is stable but he needs to be more hardworking.. He seems so laid back.. Trying to be a Ferdinand.. But he's doing Neville's job quite well with the runs down the flank.. Park Ji Sung played well.. But Carrick and O Shea had to play.. Great job Chelsea drop points again.. Wonderful..

Dead_Man_Inc SG

yeah, thats because silvestre is playing Laughing

nOrmalbOi SG
