It was something like around 40mins or so back then. Now with twitter and whatnot, it comes out earlier although a few would change by the time the teams come out with injuries and whatnot.

Reports say hargreaves start?

MUFC: Van Der Sar Brown Vidic Ferdinand O'Shea Park Fletcher Hargreaves Evra Obertan Hernandez

Subs: Kuszczak Smalling Scholes Fabio Evans Macheda Bebe

Sheep's curse..

Park-Hargreaves-Fletcher-Evra
--------------Obertan----------

or

Hargreaves-Fletcher-O'Shea-Park
-----------------Obertan---------

or Obotak exchange places with Park in any one of those combo..

stevebartram1: I'm told Berba and Carrick both miss out with the dreaded Carro virus. SAF soldiers on even though 'he's still coughing and spluttering.'

Carrick, Berba, Ando and Gibson out with virus. Nani still injured. Giggs recovering. That's our best lineup if we include Scholes.

Looks like Hargreaves plays out wide with O'Shea alongside Fletch. Park out wide..

Hargreaves complaining about some injury already..

Good thing about his injury today is that it's not his knee. He's holding his hamstring I think..

I like how Bebe always seem to have that 'simple' thing in his mind.

Fletcher > Xavi

Valencia, Nani, Giggs = 3 of our best wingers.
Scholes didn't start. Carrick, Ando, Gibson was struck down with virus.
Berba and Rooney didn't play.

A patched up team will never perform well especially in a PL match. We had Bebe and Obertan playing. They don't have experience yet.

Added on November 7, 2010, 1:31 pmHe probably wasn't ready at the time(Nov 2nd against Bolton reserve). Calf strain that time wasn't it the last time he went off injured with. So his knee is fine this time. He must have perform well in training for him to get the nod last night. And unfortunately his body still needs time to get used to the rigours of actually playing a competitive football match. It's his hamstring this time. Just normal injury from someone who was out for a long time. We should be happy it's not his knee again. He will get these sort of stuff happening until his body is properly ready. The only way to get out of this mess is playing him and see how he does.

Add to the number experience players missing through virus, flu, injuries and whatnot, so he was preferred. It's the wrong decision in hindsight, but at the time it was quite logical. There was no way anybody could have predicted what sort of injury Hargreaves would get and especially so soon if he was training well over the last few weeks. With Giggs, Ando, Carrick, Gibson, Nani, Valencia, Scholes, Rooney, Berba all weren't available to start with, it left little choice I guess. W

Added on November 7, 2010, 1:41 pmThe likes of Nani, Rafael, Fabio, Ando and maybe even Hernandez should help him settle down. It's a huge step up from a nobody into the biggest team in the world. It would take time to get used to the surroundings and whatnot. Nani took 2 and a half years to get to where he is now and he did it without Carlos Q. And Bebe have only been with us for 3 months. His crossing was bad, and he didn't do anything right almost, but the whole side was bad so it's hard for him to perform when the rest of the team isn't as well.

Bebe was trying his power cross.. didn't work.

Don't expect anything tonight.. Benitez have left them with so much shit that it would be a miracle that they would even get into the Europa League next season. Heck, just look at Inter. From a team that wins everything to a team who plays boring football with the likes of Maicon, Sneidjer and Milito being quiet. All hail Rafa the genius(idiot more like). You have to laugh at the way the Liverpool fans adore him and say that he could do no wrong.

Nani going to miss the derby.. damn.

Is Gerrard ill or something? 15mins left. Time for him to show up!

Shhh.. we have a shit team.

Not sure which is true. Before this all the stories was about how we couldn't get a work permit for him and another one about him stealing a jersey or something from the club. The thing about his small size is new..

Our next game: away to City and Villa
Chelsea's: home to Fulham and Sunderland?

Nani might not make the City game, and Berba is not even sure to start training tommorrow.. lalalala
