FA CUP 3rd Round:

Manchester United:
Injuries/ Injury Worries: Rooney (Ankle), Ferdinand (?), van Der Sar (?), Scholes(Groin), O'Shea (Calf),

Long Term: Valencia (Broken Foot), Hargreaves (Hamstring)

Fergie has said that VDS, Rooney and Ferdinand are doubts.

My predicted team:

---

VDS/Lindegaard

---

Rafael--Vidic--Ferdinand/Smalling---Evra

Nani---Fletcher----Carrick

---

Obertan

---

Berbatov

---

Rooney/Hernandez--



Liverpool:
Injuries/Injury Worries: Raul Merieles (Ankle/Foot), Spearing (Foot)

Long Term: Carragher (Shoulder)

My Predicted Team (wild guess):

---

Reina

---

Johnson--Kyrgiakos--Skrtel---Konchesky

Kuyt

---

Gerrard----Lucas----Cole

---

Torres

---

N'gog

I think United are going too strong for Liverpool although saying that the FA Cup throws away the form book.

Still I'll go for a 2-1 Home win - (Berbatov, Nani) (Gerrard)

Betting:
Man Utd 8/13 -- Draw 14/5 -- Liverpool 9/2

First Goal:
W Rooney 4/1
D Berbatov 4/1
J Hernandez 9/2
M Owen 11/2
Nani 6/1
G Obertan 8/1
Bebe 9/1
R Giggs 9/1
--

F Torres 13/2
D N'Gog 10/1
S Gerrard 10/1
J Cole 12/1
N Eccleston 12/1
D Kuyt 12/1
Maxi Rodriguez 14/1
R Babel 14/1

A United win but it won't be easy.

I'm looking forward to Raf and Nani destroying Cole and Konchesky. Still, is this thread not a little early?

Will United play their full team? Magic of the cup :rolleyes: and a Liverpool surprise win.

based on the fact we rested a players in midweek - i would say it is quite likely that United will play a very strong team at least. Don't see it being a stereotypical 'Carling Cup' team.

As for the result, I honestly don't know. On form, United should win this easily, but you can never really tell what will happen in games like this. Liverpool have nothing to lose really.

If Roy is still in charge people will expect them to lose.
If Roy is gone, people will still expect them to lose as there will be not enough time for people to have the expectation that a caretaker manager could have fixed all that was wrong.

No matter how many Danny Murphy winners and 1-4 wins before or ever after, I cannot still get over this game.

Never a foul by Redknapp

2-1 Utd, Owen to score the winner and run the length of the pitch Adebayor-style...and pull his hamstring.

United 2-1.

if Hodgson is still in charge united should win by 4 at least.

You heard! **** this game if Hodgson is still at the helm. Even if he isn't its still a distraction in which case I'll go for a narrow defeat.

"You are getting sacked in morning" chants to come from Liverpool fans, again, if they get beat to United, just like last night.

Do you actually want your team to lose? I know it's an FA Cup game but I'd have to question your "support" to your team if you're hoping they'll lose.

You can't be hoping for a defeat especially against united. Can't see anything other than one though if the trainwreck s still in charge.

The FA cup is bottom of our priorities tbf.

That_Guy you can question my parentage if you like, its a long lousy season and the % call is to forget everything other than the league and the EL (until/unless that becomes a drain on resorces)

Liverpool are 9/2 to win??

definitely worth €20

Our main goal this year is to stay up. That said, I'll gladly support my team in whatever competition we're in. I can't understand why you wouldn't do the same? Are you honestly gonna tell me that you'll be pissed off if you beat Man United on Sunday?

If you want Roy out then fine but you should be at least getting behind the team.

May as well just take that 20 and burn it. :pac:

Id prefer to fold that 20 into a paper boat and sail it down the Mersey.

I think if United do thrash Liverpool, it won't be that big a thread...it's only if Howard Webb is referee and the game is tight, decided late on....again.

Unconfirmed reports that Hodgson might be sacked. A new manager in and this game might resemble a contest.

secman

As a united fan, I know that irrespect of who is in charge of Pool, or how bad they are currently playing , they WILL RAISE their game against united, I am for one expecting a tough match.

Give Roy a break. Every thread I go on you guys are talking about him getting sacked. It's not his fault he got the job. He is trying his best with a poor set of players who finished 7th last year.

Man Utd 1-2 Liverpool

KaiserGunner

This match should be closer than a lot of people expect. There certainly wont be any thrashings here. Will be a close contest and Liverpool will raise their game and play for the shirt ,even if it seems like they arent playing for the manager. The match yesterday should have no bearing on this contest. Form goes out the window in Derby matches.
