We Will Win - Man Utd vs Tottenham.
August 25th, 2007 at 5:15 am , filed under Match Preview.Gaffer Sir Alex Ferguson has boldly declared United will win their first Premiership game against Tottenham this Sunday, the first victory of the season for the devils who is having the worst start into a new campaign since 14 years ago. We may be languish in the relegation zone by the time United kick-off the match.
Having already fallen five points adrift of new championship favourites Chelsea, Ferguson knows another disappointing result cannot be afford. Ferguson is highly convinced United will ultimately emerge victorious. The devils has been dominant in every aspect except the goals column, the lost of Rooney and Ronaldo through injury and suspension had truly affected United in the third-end of the game.
“Striker Louis Saha is expected to be on the bench, after finally overcoming a long-term knee injury problem while Edwin van der Sar is also available after scans revealed the foot injury he suffered in training during last International game showed nothing major. Another new player, Anderson of Brazil International is expected to be introduce into the starting line-up for his first home debut, making an all South America attack with Carlos Tevez,” reports.
However, I more in the believe Ferguson will put Saha into the starting-eleven to create a more wings penetration play in the 4-4-2 formation with Saha the goal-poacher while Tevez play a more withdraw role, a.k.a. Rooney-Saha style that worked so well during last season before Saha injury.
Gary Neville is still not available after suffered yet another injury believed to be caused by a bit of over-training. He was earlier expected to making a comeback anytime soon but a new injury meant he will be out for probably another two weeks, which is a blow.
United probable line up: Van der Sar (G), Wes Brown (D), Nemanja Vidic (D), Rio Ferdinand (D), Patrice Evra (D), Michael Carrick (M) Owen Hargreaves (M), Paul Scholes (M), Ryan Giggs (M), Luis Saha (S) , Carlos Tevez (S).
