Is Fergie reading my blog? Because no sooner had I posted a rant about the incessant player swapping every game, he finally admits to the press that his tinkering is the reason for our poor start. Anyway, there is not much we can do about it now but field our strongest lineup whenever possible, perhaps giving rests to players during the League and FA Cup periods (I honestly can't see Fergie seeing them as priorities anyway).
With regards to tonights game, Sparta Prague have shown that they are a very good and technical side and so even if we get 1 point tonight, it can be seen as a good job. I would probably expect Giggs and Scholes to start following their respective injuries and we will need their creativity after our desperate performance at the weekend. Also captaining Sparta will be United old-boy Karel Poborsky who showed at Lazio and Benfica that he was a better player then his performances suggested at Old Trafford. Rio and Keane will be missing (family bereavement and virus respectively) so Silvestre should lineup alongside Brown or O'Shea.
I'm not sure if others would agree with this one, but I think our strikeforce should consist of Smith and Ruud tonight. Ruud's pedigree in Europe makes him a certainty whilst Smith's goal-scoring start to the season surely warrants a place in the team. Post your thoughts below...

I think considering all the injuries and missing players we had at the start of the season, Fergie and the players did a very good job.
