Lineup a bit weird.
Pogba doesn’t make the start. Carrick playing in defence??

Fryers making his debut though, playing alongside Carrick at the heart of the defence.

Think SAF wanted to rest Rio in case Smalling is still out during the weekend.

Great pass from Berba too!

Owen!!!!
Wow United have really been ruthless this year. First chance first goal.

That is what I am using.
Doesn’t seem to work unless I move my mouse. Lol.
Roll Bass and War Ryno for me
Clumsy yellow for Fabiola.
Totally unneeded.

Formation?
Only following this online, but multiple commentaries suggest a 4-2-4? I know that Owen and Kiko have played out wide before, but can anyone confirm?
Diouf and Kiko are the wide men.

Owen again!!
Clinical by him.

Game over!
Giggs with the deflection.
by dingmajiao on Sep 20, 2011 8:33 PM BST via iPhone app reply actions
crazy shot too… just running across the front of the net, and whipping it off the outside of a foot nearly perpendicular to his run.
Yeah. Think it would be fair if they credit Giggs with the goal.

Think it is safe to say we will se Pogba in the 2nd 45
by dingmajiao on Sep 20, 2011 8:33 PM BST via iPhone app reply actions
Hopes he get a decent chance outside the box. He have a good shot in him.
by dingmajiao on Sep 20, 2011 8:53 PM BST via iPhone app up reply actions
Pogba comes on, Carrick captain.
by dingmajiao on Sep 20, 2011 8:49 PM BST via iPhone app up reply actions
I think it's weird to say but Carrick really marshal this young backline really well today.
by dingmajiao on Sep 20, 2011 8:59 PM BST via iPhone app reply actions
Welbeck comes back from injury!
by dingmajiao on Sep 20, 2011 9:14 PM BST via iPhone app reply actions
United defensive injury woes continues.
by dingmajiao on Sep 20, 2011 9:26 PM BST via iPhone app reply actions
Wow! Berba and Carrick in the heart of defence.
by dingmajiao on Sep 20, 2011 9:28 PM BST via iPhone app up reply actions
Carrick makes a good centre back
He hasn’t got the pace, but he reads the game well and knows the spaces defensively. But then again, Leeds didn’t look interested in winning the game after the first 10 minutes
His passes out of defence will be gems too. Though I doubt he wants to play there regularly. He spoke about it before.

Other Carling cup result
My team Aldershot is still in.
Never won in the Carling cup before this season, have beat West Ham (Championship) Carlise and Rochdale (League 1) When we beat West Ham at Upton Park of all places, we were in the bottom four in League two. Since then we have been unbeaten.
If we get United at OT, or even our stadium (EBB stadium at the recreation ground)…….. I would be over the moon. I’d do a match report, Q&A…. club history, all for your reading pleasure…..
Big if though ;)
I'd be happy to draw Aldershot :)

hahaha our RB loves an overhead kick
not in the opposition box, but, in our own corner, half way line, our own box, a clearing overhead. He probably averages at least one a game
His name is Ben Herd so we sing
You what, You what, you whatyou whatyou what
BEN HERD, BEN HERD BEN HERDBEN HERDBEN HERD
Ledge
By the way, im so excited about an Aldershot Unied draw, that if we don’t get it… send the ambulance round to my house sharpish!!

While I'm glad to see Amos getting a start
it’s only a matter of time before Lindegaard becomes frustrated just like PIG….if there is one thing that Sir Alex doesn’t seem to do very well it’s backup keepers. I wish he would have sold Tomasz this summer he’s been a loyal servant and deserves to move on somewhere where he’ll get some playing time…….He needs to find a keeper that’s capable in filling in but is also content at being a backup and Anders doesn’t seem to be that guy, even though I’d love for him to stay as the backup.
My photography blog...check it out and tell me what you think.

According to Tomasz there were several offers
but none got to 3m so he decided to shelf him. I wonder if he’s even training with the team.

he should be sold
You don’t need a 4th goalkeeper of his caliber. He certainly deserves to play as well. He’s gone out with the Reserves on a few occasions this season.
