Well anything could happen over the two legs of this tie. Under normal circumstances Moyes should be playing the youngsters in these ties, but given the current circumstances, that we are desperate for a win he could put anything out on that pitch. Looking at the players we have available, our strongest line up (excluding Rooney who I don't see Moyes risking) should be something like this... De Gea: Smalling, Vidic, Evans, Evra: Carrick, Giggs/Cleverley, Valencia, Januzaj, Hernandez, Welbeck Our best player vs Stoke was Young and he's injured now so I really don't fancy our chances in this leg, I think you'll win it tonight and take a lead to Old Trafford. Good luck anyhow, let's hope the officials don't spoil it.
David De Gea has warned Manchester United to be braced for a tough encounter when they travel to Sunderland for the Capital One Cup semi-final first leg on Tuesday. The Red Devils head into the game on the back of Sunday’s surprise 2-1 home defeat by Swansea City in the FA Cup. They have great support from their fans, who get right behind the team and are very passionate indeed David De Gea And despite Sunderland’s struggles in the Premier League this season, De Gea is expecting a difficult test against Gus Poyet’s men. “They are a very competitive team; they always give their all on the pitch,” De Gea told MUTV. “They’ve already made it difficult for us when we played there in the league. “They have great support from their fans, who get right behind the team and are very passionate indeed. “It’ll be a tough night because, added to that, it’s a semi-final, so we need to try to get a good result there.”
I reckon the excitement will hit people as the day goes on ............ this ****ty season has ground us down but I reckon we'll all be right up for it by kick off. All those scare stories about an embarrassing attendance will vanish I hope.
Come on Sunderland. Give the Mancs a good kicking now they're down. Not too much though, leave a little hope for the Old Trafford game or they won't bother turning up and then who will there to storm out early?
Clock just isnt ****ing moving quick enough, butterflies are making me feel sick Haaaaaaaaaawaaaaaaaaaay!
