Semi Final Build Up Thread

Beating my chest here. Can you do the team talk on Saturday?

Great call, that'll get em riled up and hungry for it.

Take Big Dunc with you as well....let the lads know that if they even think about getting beat then you'll set Dunc on them after the match
 
Based on recent performances, would it not be more effective to play a midfield of Gueye, Fellaini, Gibson, Coleman and Cahill behind Jelavic, let Gibson ping a couple at Jones to test him, by doing that its hardly changing tactics plus Drenthe seems to perform better when coming off the bench, bring him on last 20 mins on the left to run at Flanagan, based on the thought of Moyes picking a starting XI because Jones is in goal isn't true, Moyes knows if one mistake is made with his team he won't ever live it down

Either that or let Tony hoof a couple to the back post???

I think Heitinga and Distin will start.

I think Osman will be in there.

I also think Cahill will too.

Jelavic up top.

Neville right back.

Gibson and Fellaini in the middle

Howard in goal.

Baines at left back.

My only question mark is right of midfield. Gueye has been some what of a revelation in a couple of games but I think if we really want to get the willys up them we start with Drenthe and bring him off.
 
This would be my first choice. Gueye's been impressive, he does seem a bit slow though. But anyway he's gotta start above Drenthe for me. Think how erratic he was against Sunderland at home in the FA cup, add the Wembley atmosphere and the intensity of a derby...it almost guarantees a red card.

------------Howard--------------
Neville Distin Heitinga Baines
-------Gibson Fellaini----------
Osman -----------------Gueye
--------------Cahill--------------
------------Jelavic---------------

Please god let it be that team. I have a horrible feeling he's gonna go with Hibbert AND Neville though, only because Hibberts a local lad and will be the biggest game of his life, he's favoured him because of this before. But there's no way Neville won't start so it could be a bit of a disaster.

We HAVE to win this game. We deserve it more and we want it so much more that they do.

Cup final against chelsea was the biggest game of his life, that didn't fair too well for him, I dont for a second believe that he'd be considered just because he's local, that said I pray that moyes doesn't revert to the safe card and plonk neville in midfield alongside the two boys

We will win this if we all believe
 
I was pencilled in as a reserve turnstile steward for Saturday at Wembley, but after seeing Niks post about what he'll be doing with his ticket I've already requested to be taken off the list!

Pienaar is going to be a huge loss for us on Saturday! Cup Ties Suck Balls...... :@
