Manchester United vs Portsmouth - Community Shield *SPOILERS*

[Ripper]

Kicks off at 3pm on Setanta Sports 1.

United lineup:

Van der sar
Neville-Ferdinand-Vidic-Evra
Fletch-Scholes-O'Shea-Nani
Giggs-Tevez

Brown
Carrick
Campbell
Evans
Rafael Da Silva
Possebon

Terrible terrible team but its the best we have at the moment. Hopefully Rafael gets some more playing time.

 

[Shamikebab]

Rafael to come on at right wing at half time I think.

 

[Saint]

Hopefully utd get spanked. Don't think Portsmouth have diarra tho

 

[Viper²]

Who is Rafael?

 

[wedgie]

One of a couple of Brazilian youngsters we have (twins I think) both full backs. Rafael has looked pretty decent in the game time he's had so far.

 

[DavidQ]

FFS Fletcher & O'Shea ah well at least Gary is getting more minutes.

 

[MikeTimbers]

Why is a charity game on Setanta???? I mean, they're usually carp games but this used to be on terrestrial TV.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Hoping for a Portsmouth win with Crouch getting the winner.

Why bother playing Giggs up top if you need Campbell to get used to the first team? Why play O'Shea in midfield over Possebon? Why play a crock over Brown who played all last season?

Terrible team.

Terrible team.

1. Dont know cant defend that
2. O'Shea is fine in midfield, Possebon is unproven
3. Because we need Neville to get back to from, better to do it in an unimportant match than a league match.

 

[Shamikebab]

Can't get any of the ******** working

I wouldn't mention that here, first one is working for me though.

 

[NokkonWud]

Good lord, how bad have Giggs and Neville been? Rubbish is the answer.
O'Shea... is he on?

Bad choices to play those 3 to be honest.

 

[Shamikebab]

That was a lovely little move involving O'Shea

 

[Fubsy]

I think Fletcher is looking good. He's my favourite of the "second string" in the squad.

 

[Shamikebab]

That was a great pass by O'Shea to Giggs. Nokkon can you say Tevez is playing bad please

 

[nikebee]

Poo, checked on myp2p for the kick off times yesterday and wasn't logged in so I read 4pm :-/

Just realised it kicked off at 3... by the sounds of things I haven't missed much

 

[Shamikebab]

Not really, we've looked sharper but no great chances for either side yet. Evra is playing very well.
