The other games today - 2011/12


Baggio

Recommended Posts

We have another tough game this weekend against a side we've done well against in recent years. Chelsea haven't beaten us in the league for 3 and a half years which is pretty impressive when you compare the 2 teams. Drawn the last 4 or 5 at Stamford Bridge. Probably a battling defeat.

Nani on the bench. Think Ferguson is doing some risk management here. Keeping Rooney and Nani safe from the bruisers of Liverpool in a heated derby environment. Diminishes their chances of a win, but keeps the star players uninjured going forward.

Ferguson giving Liverpool far too much respect there it seems.

 

Well, he did something very similar against a less shite Arsenal side last season. The pressure to break down a side with so many defensive-minded players requires a guile and incision that Liverpool at times struggle to demonstrate. At home, that can be a problem with the crowd on your back, and Man Utd are obviously adept at counter-attacking football with Young and Welbeck.

 

That said, I think Liverpool's grit will see them win 2-1.

Ferugson always comes up with the strangest of formations for these games, sometimes it works (like last season when he started that strange team against Arsenal in the cup and they tore them apart) somtimes it dosn't (like starting Giggs upfront against Barca in the first champs league final they played) intresting to see how his side plays in this one.
