LB? Evra, JOS, Fabio, De Laet (played there against Hull last season)

Btw, Fabio came on against Valencia, no?

looking so far in the pre-season... it's really nice to see that some youth players who are able to play quite well in case of some injuries for the 1st team players... at least u can feel some reliability in these players than having to buy some fringe players from other team... but i hope with these players coming in to help out, it doesn't disrupt the team's rhythm and flow in the team's overall game play...

certainly De Laet looks assured playing last night - a good vision from Ole to recommend the player... he has a good physique - tall and looks strong and pacy as well!

totally impress with Antonia Valencia so far... doesn't seem to be overawed by his other world class team mates in the team and seem to be very humble... good lad indeed!

ah... my bad, didn't watch d match this morning but his appearance is alot lesser than his twin brothers from what i observed. hardly any match nowadays coz no more cable tv at home...

gotta agree w driftmeister that we need quality cb for backup, so far only evans able to feature more.

valencia's pace really , nani must learn from him, fast and direct

ic ... nice 2 meet u ....

But cr get goals ability r strong than gerrard ....

This team to start this weekend?

Chelsea has been trying the 4-4-2 with diamond midfield if I am not mistaken so wonder what sort of changes can be expected from them?

hope owen , tosic , valencia & rooney scores ...

I still don't trust our team to play 442 well in the big games. I know we did well against them last season using Fletcher-Giggs there, but it would be different this time.

Rafael is injured.. didn't feature in any of the pre-season so far. It's been Fabio who have been getting games. At first as cover for Evra, and then when Wes got injured, and with Vida missing too, he played on the right in a few matches. He's right footed, so it's natural for him to play on the right.

De Laet looks good going forward. Seems easy to him. Strange one.. couldn't get a game at Stoke, and then we jump and get him to our reserves. Played against Hull last season and didn't look like a reserve at all.

I'm impressed by Valencia's performance. Hope he can continue on with this from. If he could, then it would be a good buy to replace CR7.

i will insert ando in the center ahead of carrick at the moment. the rest will be same

i think SAF would use..

PIG
Gary-RIO-Evans-Evra
Park/Valencia-Scholes/Carrick-Gibson/Fletcher-Nani/Giggs
Rooney/Kiko-Owen/Berba

Donno wich is first 11..

chelsea i think almost complete squad, just need CA to mix with the player..

Gary was sent home (injured) during the Asia Tour, no? So don't think he will make it.

west brown definately my best RB!!!

+ manchester united best defence

Brown-Rio-VIdic-Evra

Well, TBH we don't have many choices for RB anyway. Gary, Brown & Rafael out injured so that leave us with either JOS or De Laet?

Dislocated shoulder for Rafael it seems
