missed the copenhagen game as i have started an evening course studying journalism. however i managed to take in the highlights and was impressed with what i saw.
we created enough chances in the irst half to put the yie to bed pretty early and seemed to be well worth the threegoal win. once again Rooney was instrumental in everything good we did,Scholes looked in great form as did Ronaldo and Carrick seems to be growing with every performance. we have more or less qualified from our group now and we can concentrate on the premiership until after christmas anyway.
the big game sunday is sure to be a thriller. both teams need the win but neither will want to loose. it truely is the proverbial six pointer.
as for how the game will develop i wouldnt be surprised to see a draw. much will hinge on the midfield battle and it will be intweresting to see how Fergie approaches it. will he play our best team in a 442 formation or will he try to play 451 and stifle the midfield. if he chooses the latter the writing will be on the wall for us im afraid. we would never be able to out muscle the scousers in that department and for me, our only option is to outplay them.
this game is a huge opportunity for Carrick to silence some of his critics. he needs to impose himself in the game and pass the ball as well as we know he can. he has started to find his range in the rwo most recent games and if can go on from there he could really make a name for himself on sunday. also Rooney looks set to explode on some team soon andhopefully it will be the bag dippers. depending on where he is played, i could see him score two or three. fingers crossed.
we look strong defencivly andthe biggest threat they pose on our goal is from a set piece. they have looked shaky defensivly at times this year and if we play 442 with Carrick and Scholes in centre midfield,Giggs and Ronaldo out wide and Rooney and Saha up front i think we can expose them and win it well. however if we play451 the best we can expect is a draw with a loss a strong possibility.
make no mistake,this is a huge game and a win is crucial for a succesful season. c`mon united.
