The last newz i heard last wk was tht the work permit is unlikely to b granted due to some problem... So, SAF might need to loan Manucho out... But nothing is officiall confirm yet... Everyone is hoping tht he can get a work permit n play for ManUtd ASAP... Hahaha... V really need him in the squad...
________________________________________________________________________________
V r playing Pompey at hom tmr... V need to win this game to stay top... With players away to the ANC, its a good timing to play Pompey now... But they hv bought in 2 pretty good players as cover - Diarra & Baros...
Since Vida is being affected by a virus n might not b fit in time for this game, Brown again wil b asked to play alongside Rio in the middle of our defence... This time their main player to mark is Benjani - pacey n physical... Hopefully Brown can perform up to a better level as this wil not b an easy task in marking Benjani...
With Carrick being sub out early, i think SAF wil b playing him from the start... I hope Anderson wil get the knot in partnering him in the middle in order to provide more sparks & excitement... Hargo shld b rested for the wkend game n Scholesy wil b getting involve again in the later stage as a sub... He needs a game or 2 to build up his match fitness & stamina b4 playing a full game for us...
Upfront, it might b a bit of concern to me... 3 of our 'star' players who hv been great for us, wil they b playing again together? They r very young might not need a lot of rest, but the season is stil long... At a certain point of the season, SAF might choose to rest any 1 of them... When tht happen, i hope it wil not affect our recent great scoring form... Is Saha fit now? Its been few wks since v last saw him play n heard abt him... If Saha is fit, play him with Rooney dropping back to his best position thus Tevez can get a rest...
Giggsy might b rested as well, as i think Park wil get ahead of Nani n play in this game with the latter coming on as a sub for Park...
Pompey hv a solid back 4, but v can always attack them with great pace... In the middle they hv got Diarra & Krancjar dictating their game... So v need to b smart in the middle n play more wide passes to our wingers as Diarra wil b standing in front of their center halves... Other than tht, v got to anticipate lotsa high balls from their back line up to Benjani...
Too bad tht this game isnt gonna live on Astro... Cibai...
Am hoping tht v wil win it by 2-0!!!
