Sunderland vs Man Utd

Tag: Game PreviewRed Ranter @ 15:14

Right. It’s boxing day, and we play Roy Keane’s boys. The Gaffer has mentioned making changes, but “one or two” at the most. Among those changes would be the return of Rio to the centre of defence and Hargreaves to midfield.

As you would see this is Boxing day, with tons of football going around, I wouldn’t leave your lot to waste time on this site — there is a pretty interesting game going on between Villa and Chelsea — so I’ll leave you with our squad composition and get back to watching that game.

First XI from: Kuszczak, Heaton, Brown, O’Shea, Simpson, Ferdinand, Vidic, Pique, Evans, Evra, Fletcher, Ronaldo, Nani, Eagles, Carrick, Hargreaves, Anderson, Giggs, Park, Tevez, Rooney, Saha.

Back to the game then. Discuss and I will get back with a good, good post game report. Honest!

Update: Dang! Chelsea equalised. Oh well, looks a good game nonetheless.

    It’ll be fine, with Ronaldo, Nani, Rooney and Saha(if he decides he actually wants to bother making a run into the box once in a while) we should be able to score two. If it’s one nil going into the last 10 minutes of the match then I’ll be scared, because a late goal would be a killer!

    I thought Hargreaves would be fit for the match? His injuries are getting very frustrating.

    I guess the form we are in right now, I’ll predict 3-0 to ManUtd.

    A beauty of a free kick from Ronaldo on the stroke of half time. United 3-0 up at the break, nice.

    2 0 Saha, good finish, 3-0 Ronaldo, really good free kick in the top corner. Haven’t got watching the game properly but from what I hear we’ve hardly had to break a sweat, but I seen ronaldo’s free kick and it seems like he might have been working on them, since he got another one on target earlier in the match.

    We’re totally cruising. This can get very ugly for Keane if we’re in the mood to go for 6 or 7.

  14. SHANNON says:

    Ronaldo’s been working on them since he got to United… He is a brilliant footballer and as Queiroz has said will dominate the game in the same vien Jordan dominated Basketball…

    Any news on Brown’s contract and replacements if he does not?

    Sad sight to see Keano on the receiving end, but that’s life.

    Liverpool are drawing to Derby as well, Watch out for Arsenal now and we might be in the clear for next year.
    I’m loosing to some idiot in the Fantasy Cup because Zat Knight got a red card, Newcastle are losing to Wigan AND he’s got Taylor as a sub WTF!!! Horrible. Oh well we got our 3 points at least.

    Nice result, pleased to see Rooney and Saha score.
    Rooney looks like he’s going back to form and Saha will get a lot of confidence.

    And we’re on top of the league:)

    There was a certain swagger associated with our performance last night, and what is even more delightful is that we are now on the top of the table thanks to the draw at Fratton Park. Can’t believe that we had only 2 points from our first 3 games, on course for treble, come on you Reds!!

    what is the reason of silence here??? i think more than RR we are missing grognard(spelling??)

    Top of table as we hit 2008! Couldn’t ask for much more, especially considering our shaky start to the season as the new signings gelled, Rooney recovered from his injury, Ronaldo his suspension etc etc.

    Best of all we have no major injuries to start the year with

    Hey mates sorry i havent posted in a while I will be back to that in a bit. i was really busy, because unlike in england and europe, in canada we celebrate christmas the way it is supposed to be celebrated and actually use it to the fullest. match report coming up soon..

    ReplyReply
  34. Conor says:

    Colver: Are you forgetting about Scholes? And Hargreaves’ injury could easily turn out to be worse than first expected. And Neville’s still out.
    Vikas the reason is it’s the holidays and people have other things to do, probably involving alcohol :) I have no idea where Grognard is because he has been away for a while, even before Christmas.
