The problem with Stevie G is that he does not fit anywhere into Rafa's preferred formation, which is with two proper wingers (Such as Pennant and Kewell), a passing central midfielder (Alonso) and a battling central midfielder (Sissoko). While Stevie can perform all of these roles, he often goes wandering off all around the pitch to wherever he thinks he is needed, causing holes to appear where he would be. Whenever there's anything slightly wrong with Stevie, Rafa always rests him, so I think he will come on as a sub against United, rather than start.Originally Posted by The Captain
As for whether we can beat them, it's possible, but I have plenty of doubts. It wouldn't surprise me if we dominate the game but fail to take our chances and either lose or draw.
