Barnsley FC – Manchester United [League Cup]

By

Tonight we play the fourth round of the League Cup, AKA Carling Cup or Milk Cup, away at Barnsley. There’s not much to say about this game other than that we can expect many changes again and it is likely that Fabio Da Silva will start, together with Owen and possibly also Macheda and Wellbeck. If Darren Fletcher is recovered from his groin injury picked up during the international break he might also feature.

For Alex Ferguson it will be an ’emotional’ meeting with the guy who once saved his career and allowed the gaffer to become one of the most illustrious manager s in the history of the game: Mark Robins.

As usually highlights will be updated on the Manchester United blog Facebook page, followed by thoughts afterwards.

Liverpool FC – ManUtd Preview: THE Game [Prem]

Tomorrow is THE game and this year the trip to Anfield Road comes with two more bonus elements. First of all there is the question if the Anfield loyals will show Michael Owen the respect he deserves for his time at The Kop. The other factor is whether it will be the last game in charge for the Spanish waiter.

Rafa Benitez has lost 6 games out of 13 games played this season so far and I will be nice here but he actually is a good manager. A good manager with a bad attitude. A manager who seems to have lost passion.
One could give the Spaniard the bonus of the problems in the board room, some people even say that he doesn’t have money to buy players but that argument is bollocks for the guy who has bought more than 70 players in his time at the Merseyside. [Read more…]

Man.Utd – Vfl. Wolfsburg Preview [CL]

Tonight the Red Devils face the German Champions League debutants VFL Wolfsburg for the second game of the group stages in the Champions League. It is our first CL home game this season and we certainly hope the squad will continue their excellent run, a much better one than the Dippers, who lost their third competitive game already this season away at Fiorentina.

There have been minor injury and illness scares with Owen suffering a slight groin problem and Evra been ill but both should be fit. Busy and annoying worker bee Park Ji Sung has been ruled out due to illness. Otherwise the complete squad is available, also Brown and Ferdinand. The gaffer has not hinted at who will start but we can expect Foster in front of the net.

In other news, EVDS has returned to training and Owen Hargreaves returned home from the US to continue his rehabilitation at Carrington. The Canadian born England star is expected back within a month.

As usual there will be live updates on the Manchester United Blog Facebook page.

I think we’ll win 3-0. What do you think?
