Or Ronaldo, raisnhell? That front 3 is needed if we're to threaten them: VDS HARGREAVES EVRA RIO VIDIC CARRICK SCHOLES ANDERSON RONALDO TEVEZ ROONEY. Hargreaves right back because Anderson is needed imo, Carricks through balls are vital for unlocking Chelsea and Scholes is certain to play. Hargreaves is a magnificent rightback too. Why bench Tevez? Or Ronaldo, raisnhell? That front 3 is needed if we’re to threaten them:

VDS
HARGREAVES
EVRA
RIO
VIDIC
CARRICK
SCHOLES
ANDERSON
RONALDO
TEVEZ
ROONEY.

Hargreaves right back because Anderson is needed imo, Carricks through balls are vital for unlocking Chelsea and Scholes is certain to play. Hargreaves is a magnificent rightback too.

Them 3 in the middle with Rooney and Ronni on the wings and Tevez up front. Hargreaves goes to RM and Ronni LM if we switch to 4-4-2. I don't understand the logic in dropping Tevez. Why do we always want to play more defensive when we play the bigger teams?? We can play 4-5-1 which can easily be changed to 4-4-2 if we play Hargeaves, Scholes and Carrick.

IMO although Scholes is set to start, he'll be bossed around by chelski's midfield like he has been countless times. He's not strong enough or fast enough to compete, and going forward he doesn't bring anything to the table that only he can. Van der Sar

I'd really like to see an attacking United side, but I reckon SAF will go for 4-5-1, to start with at least. In that case the main issue would be the 5 in midfield and the striker - perhaps Park, Carrick, Scholes, Hargreaves & Ronaldo, & Rooney up front. Or have a 4-4-3, and subsitute either Hargreaves or Carrick for Tevez, Rooney would play behind him in attacking mid., and Tevez would be put up front. I agree Jimmy.

That will do wonders in our attempts to keep him from joining Real Madrid, Milan etc. Ronaldo has scored goals against Arsenal and Liverpool this season, showing that he can show up against the big sides. Need I remind you that he is the top goal scorer in this years European Cup? After Scholes Ronaldo is the first name on the team sheet and you I can put my house on that. yep that’s right, raisnhell, leave the best player in the world out of the biggest game of his career because he had a shit game in the FA Cup Final last year.

Now, this only works if OH is on the field, and seeing as Scholes is already guaranteed a spot theres only 1 more CM slot left, and i feel that Carrick will be picked over anderson. looking at the benc who dyou want to sub on? Giggs, Anderson, Tevez come to mind, but you have O'Shea and Fletcher to cover all the positions in case something unexpected happens and no, i don't believe saha deserves a spot on the bench if we play 4-5-1, because Tevez becomes our striker on the bench it’s simple really
