Roma vs. Man. United thread

Parks lives wrote:Carrick's out?!

Well I can’t see him playing if he sat out training maybe at best he will be on the bench. This is a big blow, equivalent of Roma losing Totti !!

Good luck to the Man Utd fans who have travelled

According to UEFA he is starting, surprised me as well.

AS Roma team

Carrick and Park

Rai's positioning of Anderson is a little naive no?

Park?

Like you I expected Tevez to start, the only reason why I think Park is starting is SAF wants a wide player to play Tevez I don't think would be comfortable and that would mean Rooney out wide ... Nani would have started if he was available, Giggs we know can’t play 3 games in a week so expect him to either come on or play against Boro. SAF was always going to play a 3 man midfield to match up against Roma.

No Rai had it right first time round. Well we'll see how this one goes but with Park not sure what Fergie's gameplan is at all.

If Totti is out then Perrotta may as well be any way as he and Totti are almost telepathic with each other.

It may even help having Totti out - Fergie would have got Hargreaves to follow him round all day and maybe its harder for Mancs if the creative responsibilities are shared more equally throughjout the yeam.

I take it Mexes, Aquilani, De Rossi and Vucinic are all playing.

I like Vucinic's playing style - its hard to think of a player anywhere who is more confident than him.


Man U will out run Roma over two legs.

forza ultras!

The man u european bus will be well and truly parked tonight

Benitez won the CL with traore and biscan

Forza roma

Well if it turns out to be the case, it'll be a result of the gameplan, not the personal.

Maybe we can watch Anderson dominate De Rossi whilst playing in his own half.

Ronaldo striker, rooney left back

Fergie in europe

Rooney starts on the left. United are playing without a striker

Manchester United stars hospitalized after "bizarre crash"

Manchester United players Cristiano Ronaldo and Anderson were hospitalised in Rome late last night after what Italian police have described as a "bizarre crash". The Portuguese star and his Brazilian teammate suffered the accident on the A90 ringroad circling the city, where a Porsche 911 Turbo, rented in Ronaldo's name, hit a lorry in the crawler lane.

The two Manchester United midfielders were taken to Rome's Gemelli hospital with "cuts and bruises". No serious injuries have been reported, but the two of them are said to be "more than a little shocked" by the incident.

Eyewitness reports indicate that the Porsche, which was doing the speed limit at the time, veered wildly out of the middle lane and struck the other vehicle. The exact reasons for the crash are unknown, but no blame is thus far being attributed to either driver.

The lorry, of Dutch origin, was transporting sanitary towels and other personal hygeine items to a local supermarket warehouse for distribution across the capital, and the driver is unavailable for comment.

"It was quite surreal, really," said Polizia Stradale officer Gianpaulo Luca, the first to arrive at the scene. "There was this lovely Porsche, with two stunned superstars inside, each covered head to toe in toilet roll and other items for female convenience."

Manchester United have already issued a press release, wishing the players well and reassuring fans that no long term damage has been done. It looks likely, however, that the two players will now miss today's important European clash with AS Roma.

Right there was everything wrong about Ronaldo - Roma's first real effort coming because he tries to take on 4 Roma players standing right in front of him

And then dives...

And then complains because he doesn't get a free kick


Park is the only man ever in the box for united. What on earth is fergie doing? So much for this 'always go out to attack' mantra united get labelled with

What the f@ck is wrong with Anderson, every shot ends up in row Z with him.

This is shite. When Man U have the ball they show no intention of attacking. Roll on the 2nd leg says I!

Yeh i guess. The centre back and striker position were the 2 positions you didn't want to have any injuries for. Every other position has good backups (apart from maybe De Rossi).

What's happened to Andreolli btw?

Ah sorry I meant Comlete not compete and Cagliari instead of Catania.

Andreolli is on loan at Vicenza.

Suprise suprise - Ronaldo shoots from 40 yards with his free kick

Shooting from that distance, what a waste of a freekick. In truth though there are already signs of this being like the game last year. Roma haven't offered too much of a cutting edge so far despite their possession and Man Utd will be content to defend deep, pack the midfield and play on the break.
