It's confirmed now. Very risky but in a way I'm quite hopeful that the kids will shine.

Evra, Berba, Neville, Scholes, Nani, Evans on the bench.

Where's Fletcher? O'Shea, Ronaldo, VDS, Rooney and Ronaldo given the day off...hmmm.

He is showing huge amounts of disrespect to both Everton & the FA Cup. Hope Everton tear them a new one.

Edit: Yes other teams will play weakened teams in the competition, but this is the Semi Final. Should be playing your strongest possible team at this stage.

He's not disrespecting Everton, I think he's just possibly willing to lose this more than the other 2 competitions. After this we play Wednesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, Tuesday. We have to keep winning our league games, he wants the Champions League again. Something has to give somewhere.

Had Rafa of done this, he would be called for all sorts in my opinion, it is disrespecting the cup and the opposition. I hate it, even when we do it, it makes me want to bring in squad caps.

Well we don't all have the luxury of only being in contention for one competition now :rolleyes: If we had kept our league form up and maintained a seven point lead I'm sure we'd play a stronger team. He's not putting this team out because he thinks Everton are not much challenge, he's putting it out because the other competitions are more important. Simple as that.

If this was against, Chelsea, Arsenal or Liverpool, I pretty much doubt he would be missing Van Der Sar, Ronaldo, Rooney etc, in my opinion of course.

Looking forward to seeing this team play. The two Da Silvas, Wellbeck, Macheda. :rolleyes:

bradigor, this is more or less the same team that has played in most of our cup games. I'm not saying I totally agree with what Fergie said about Rafa's attitude, but this isn't the same thing and you know it.

Where did I mention what he said about Rafa?

The bit I mentioned about Rafa was in releation to the media. Pretty much like what happened after the Burnley farce and yes I was pissed off with him playing such a team.

Edit: Anyway enjoy the game :rolleyes:

I must say, fair play to Paul Scholes. What a fantastic player and a fantastic example of someone who's achieved at the highest levels without ever getting big headed or moaning or bothering with the media. Yes, perhaps he shunned it, and yet that how more "professionals" should act in my book.

He did his talking on the pitch, cliched as it is, and he rarely disappointed.

Even when you knew it would be even money on him picking up a booking, it was all part of his ginger charm.

Fantastic for England too, some of his strikes amazing and his assists crucial. Far more influence on a game than either Gerrard or Lampard seem to have managed for the national side.

Amazing to think that he was part of the side that made the 1999 Champions League final, although cruelly denied taking part due to suspension.

Ho ho ho, Berbatov. If you didn't want to take a penalty you shouldn't have offered. But to step up to the plate and do that.... 30 million indeed.

Fair play Everton, hope they win it now. Thoroughly deserved and looked like the only team who actually wanted to score in extra time.

Also, ah well, fair play Everton. Think the kids did us proud.

I've given up! Perhaps there's a correlation.

Ironically the old men missed from the spot.

This any good?

Yeah, I wish some of the youngsters would have put their hands up. Berbatov, Rio and Vidic are not realy the first names that came to mind. :rolleyes:

Anderson is 3 for 0 though atm. Wish he could score from open play too (with his bum obv).

I was disappointed with Carlos Tevez today, his final ball was often either played too late or not quick enough. I expect he was rested on Tuesday knowing that he would be starting this afternoon so I expected him to be fresh, but he was looking rusty, as opposed to Walbeck and Macheda who clearly have a good understanding (from playing reserve team obv.).

I've just checked and saw that the FA Cup Final is the saturday after the CL Final :rolleyes:

I can understand Fergie's thinking, sort of....

Yeah, Tevez realy didn't seem to have his heart in it today.

Wellbeck and Kiko had some wonderful movement and plays, and the twins were great, well untill Fabio got injured. Gibson was pretty decent too given the plyers he had to play against in the same area.

See, i would have thought having the FA Cup final before the CL final would be worse. Assuming Chelsea get there I would rather have just have played a final than were about to play another one, if United were to get to Rome.

What we were really missing today was decent deliveries from the wings/corners/freekicks. I don't often say this but I wouldn't have minded seeing Nani come on, partly for better deliveries and partly because there's always a chance he can pull a great shot from nowhere.

I thought Tevez was really poor again today. Bad ball control, sloppy, he passes when he should hold onto it, holds onto it when he should pass. And BerbaLOL. His penalty was total shit.
