Now i know even with our recent results thinking we can win away at OT is a bit of a reach, but i for once really think we can.
Let's start with the strikers Defoe & Pav have been superb in our last couple of games & can cause anyone problems as we've seen. Then we have Crouch who's the sort of player The Manc's don't like playing against. Especially if he pulls wide & goes against there short Full Backs. Then the guile of Gudjohnsen late on would be a real challenge.
Then we have to look at what Harry will do stick with the midfield that has done so well or make room for the rested & revitalised Palacios. It's a real toughy that i don't envy Harry there. You shouldn't really change a winning team as it's not fair on the players left out but i personally think he has to. Palacios has to come in away from home. So then it's do we leave out Modric or push Bale back to LB & drop Assou-Ekotto. I'd go for the latter. Or it's drop Bentley & put Modric right which is a good option as well.
Bale can still be an impact on the game attacking wise from LB we've seen what his engine is like & i don't care who he's up against he'll be hard to stop. Neville won't have the pace & Rafael won't have the experience.
Plus Lennon will play some part in the game & that's means we have pace to burn down the flanks & with Huddlestone's pin point passing Man U won't have it all there own way.
Defence with Dawson & King who should be back will be solid & with either Kaboul or Corluka we have extra height in defencive area's & no little strength.
All that tells me we can go to OT with our heads held high with every chance there could be an upset on the cards for the prawn sandwich brigade!
