EPL : Charlton Athletic vs Manchester United
02:55 AM - 05:00 AM, live on ESPN
Rooney and Scholes will start their 3 match ban from this match onwards, will Man Utd be able to cope without them?
Discuss -
man utd still too strong for addicks..
should be a close and narrow win for utd... nothing more den 2 goals i guess -
you really cant wait.
their first game is tonight and you are talking about the 2nd already.
-
i think ronaldo will be clumsy with dives haha
Man U 2-1 Charlton i say -

-
i will give my prediction (not that anyone cares) after watching the man u - fulham match.
-
the players havent even reach the stadium to play the first match you start talking abt the next match??
-
anyway seeing the addicks concede sloppy goals in their first match no doubt manu will be able to record 2 wins in a row
-
man u have a good chance of winning this match.
but they have to play without rooney and scholes!!! -
yeah wonder how will they perform without rooney and scholes..
-
no problem for united i guess....
united muz learn to cope without its stars like scholes rooney ronaldo scholes saha carrick.
Time for fringe stars to stand up n perform
team
VDS
Neville Ferdinand Brown Evra
Ronaldo OShea Giggs/fletcher JS park/richardson
Saha Solskjaer
giggs may not play coz of stamp frm fulham player...so its up to fergie to decide either park or richardson to start -
3-0 or 4-0 to Man United.
Charlton is no match for Man United. -
2-0 i suppose.
Ian Dowie is more suitable managing second division teams.
Cheers.
C.K -
I go for 2-0 or 3-0. Think their morale from winning the fulham match with so many goals will take them through a straight win. Hope Giggs get to play though. Also hope to see more of Park in action. Asia pride mah...
Btw, how long will Carrick be out? -
carrick is out for 3 weeks so 3 matches.
as for charlton, I think it will not be as easy as Fulham.
I think a 2-1 is a fair result.
if GVN plays, then the defence is more solid and we have more pentration down the right wing. we don't have the right balance there with brown.
as for central of park, glad to see scholes back. he adds more steel and vision there. Oshea to me is stop-gap. I think we should see Giggs there, with park on the left and ronaldo on the right.
let's hope ronaldo can perform from his first game as he was efficient but now on away game, you won't know how the fans will react.
up front, Saha is good but to me, RVN is still the top-notch predator. we will suffer but hopefully, we can see a resurrgence in Smith and Ole.
to me, Rossi is too green to be counted.
However, I do wonder whether can Ronaldo be converted from wing to striker like henry... that will be interesting with him and rooney leading the pack. -
charlton is unpredictable.
i think it will be a narrow win for man u. -
Yeah, this match won't be easy cos its an away match so don't expect 4-0 or 3-0 scores... somemore w/o scholes & rooney... would be happy with a 2-0 or just a win can...Originally posted by dragg:charlton is unpredictable.

he will be ban for 3 match, starting from this match...Originally posted by iceFatboy:carrick is out for 3 weeks so 3 matches.

I meant scholes back from the inury bench.. or entire EPL season..
With him around, at least I can say MUFC MF got bite. -
man u were unlucky not to take the lead in the first half.
giggs's free kick hit the woodwork.
ronaldo's powerful shot hit the woodwork too.
-
yea the more the charlton fans boo ronaldo, the more determined he seem to want to score..and probaly do the finger to the mouth celebration..
-
man u won 3 - 0!!!
well done.
chelsea lost. man u are leading the table now!!! -
man utd plays with lotsa pace..charlton couldn't keep up..
