[Andi Istiabudi]

Pemain muda dalam duel versus Spurs ? Hmm... menurut saya sebaiknya Sir Alex mempertimbangkan untuk tidak terlalu sering menampilkan skuad yang didominasi pemain muda seperti saat melawan Besiktas kemarin. Memberikan kesempatan bermain bagi para pemain muda memang bagus karena selain dapat menambah jam terbang serta pengalaman, juga dapat dijadikan ajang pembuktian kepada Sir Alex bahwa mereka layak dipercaya masuk tim utama. Namun kondisi MU musim ini berbeda dengan musim lalu. MU musim ini bisa dibilang produktifitas golnya cenderung rendah dan bukan rahasia lagi permainan MU berubah semenjak perginya Ronaldo sehingga ada kalanya bermain bagus namun bisa juga bermain jelek atau istilahnya "angin-anginan".

Dengan kondisi yang "angin-anginan" tersebut, sebaiknya Sir Alex mulai memikirkan formasi terbaik untuk diturunkan musim ini, terutama sektor serangan. Selama musim ini saya perhatikan jika dalam suatu pertandingan selama babak pertama permainan MU kurang maksimal, pergantian baru dilakukan di menit ke-70 dan entah kenapa Michael Owen selalu ditempatkan dalam daftar pemain pengganti di babak kedua. Sudah saatnya Sir Alex mencoba melakukan pergantian pemain yang dianggap jelek sejak awal babak kedua.

Kehadiran pemain muda dalam tim inti juga baik, namun jika permainan MU belum konsisten serta posisi klasemen belum aman, sebaiknya tetap mengandalkan pemain senior tanpa melupakan potensi yang ada dalam diri pemain-pemain muda MU (perpaduan senior-muda). Sebagai pemain muda, mereka mungkin lebih bertenaga dan bersemangat, namun tak jarang mereka belum memiliki kematangan dan kemampuan mengendalikan emosi di lapangan yang pada akhirnya berpengaruh terhadap permainan mereka sendiri.

[pweechevalier]

Hmm....
Setuju ama Bung Andi...memberi kesempatan buat pemaen muda bagus banget...
Tapi masih tetep perlu bimbingan para senior di lapangan...
Apalagi CC ini sistem gugur bukan??? Klo kalah, bisa bye bye deh CC...
Meski kastanya dianggap lebih rendah dari UCL ama EPL, tapi SAF gak boleh meremehkan CC...
Apalagi lawannya lagi mabok gol, kemaren aja bikin 9 gol, buset dah...
Prediksi:
AV25 (1) + NV15 (1) vs 0 Spurs

wisnu cimol

[darryldevils]

:devil3: glory MU :devil3:

biarpin wigan dicukur 9-1 sama spurs. sekud aja kita pasti menangg!

[GL zone]

jangan anggep remeh lawan walau cuma sekelas carling cup
apalagi yg di hadapin spurs

pasang pemain inti di tiap2 posisi
VDS, evra, fletcher, rooney, giggs gw rasa harus maen kalo buat jaga peluang untuk lolos

karna spurs pasti punya percaya diri tinggi

prediksi bakal ketat nih pertandingan
antara 2-1 atau 3-2 lah skor ny

yg bikin gol?
bebas...sapa aja boleh kok :D

[rondwisan]

@ Bang Andi, boleh juga sih klo mo nurunin skuad inti ..., but the questions trus tuh para youngster United kapan dikasih kesempeten tampil ..., secara di ajang Premier League regular aja kesempatan mereka minim banget ...

yah solusinya mungkin emang mix antara pemain senior 'n junior yaa ...
apalagi jadwal kompetisi yang cukup padat ...., klo dipaksakan pemain inti terus maen bisa jeblok juga khan ...

[otonk reddevilz]

Sepertinya rotasi pemain tidak bisa dihindarkan...mengingat kita harus menjaga kondisi pemain inti untuk tetap selalu nempel di belakang dan mengambil kesempatan untuk menyalip di BPL..

Tetap harus hati hati dengan Hotspur..semangat mereka untuk mengalahkan tim tim besar juga patut dijadikan perhitungan..asal jangan lengah aja...insya allah kita bisa melaju ke next round...

Owen sepertinya bisa menjadi starter di match kali ini..

2-0 for United..

[finza_13]

ga cuma United kayaknya yg dipusingkan masalah rotasi.pasti Spurs jg bakal gitu...
apapun kondisinya harusnya pertandingan lawan Besiktas ga terulang deh....gimanapun jg ini maen di rumah sendiri harus bisa maksimal...mungkin emang lebih baik di mix aja antara senior ama junior....:ui1:

klo tetep buntu akhirnya jg dimainin semua deh pemain inti di ujung2 pertandingan :nohope:

[red_girl_mia]

saatnya pembalasan...HAJARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR,,,,,,,,,CUKUR SPURS BALIK....MINIMAL 3-0....>:/:-j

[Red Army]

sudah menjadi tradisi bagi United untuk memainkan pemain muda di ajang Carling Cup, sebentar lagi FA cup akan bergulir & Boxing Day ada di depan mata. Ketinggalan 5 poin memaksa Fergie sepertinya akan memainkan pemian muda, mungkin skuad sama seperti saat menjamu Besiktas

United fringe players to face Spurs
-teamtalk.com-

http://images.teamtalk.com/09/08/330/Ben-Foster_2345817.jpg

Manchester United will field a similar team to the one that lost to Besiktas last week when they host Tottenham in the Carling Cup on Tuesday.

Teenage duo Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck may start up front, although Michael Owen's experience could also be used as the holders try to defend their crown.

Rafael Da Silva could be included at right-back to give veteran Gary Neville a rest after two games in four days, while Ben Foster is expected to replace Tomasz Kuszczak in goal.

United (from): Foster, Kuszczak, Amos, Neville, De Laet, Brown, Vidic, Jonny Evans, Corry Evans, Evra, Rafael, Obertan, Valencia, Gibson, Anderson, Fletcher, Carrick, Nani, Park, Tosic, Berbatov, Rooney, Owen, King, James, Macheda, Welbeck.

Ferguson to recall youngsters for League Cup
-sportsillustrated.cnn.com-


LONDON (AP) -Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson is set to recall a half dozen of his young players to face Tottenham in this week's League Cup quarterfinals, just a week after they slumped to an embarrassing loss in Europe.

United hosts Spurs in one of Tuesday's two matches in what is a rerun of last year's final, which Ferguson's team won in a shootout following a 0-0 draw.

Having started his strongest side on Saturday to help keep the club within five points of Premier League leader Chelsea, Ferguson will give Danny Welbeck, Federico Macheda, Rafael da Silva and Gabriel Obertan another chance to prove themselves worthy of a lengthy career with United.

They missed their last opportunity, losing 1-0 to Besiktas to surrender the club's eight-year unbeaten home record in the Champions League.

"It will be the same players that played on Wednesday,'' Ferguson said. "Their future is well marked out, I think.

"Of course, they will grow from that experience. I was confident of playing them and they had every right to play.''

Those four players are all between 18 and 20 years old, with 21-year-old Anderson and 22-year-old Darron Gibson also set to return against Spurs.

Ferguson said the sextet's development compared favorably with that of David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville, who helped United to the 1995-96 title in their first seasons as first-team regulars. They were all 20 at the start of that season.

Ferguson said his youngsters just need the experience of games against the likes of Tottenham, which is third in the Premier League and has reached the League Cup final each of the past two seasons.

"We're not talking about ability here; we're talking about experience,'' Ferguson said. "That's why we have to play them. Games are the one thing we have to give them.

"We can't just give them that old head that helps you deal with situations like on Wednesday in the final third of the field.''

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has to decide whether to stick with his strongest side, which beat Wigan 9-1 and then drew 1-1 at Aston Villa in its past two matches, or shuffle the lineup and jeopardize his chances of a shock win.

Luka Modric and Ledley King are still recuperating from injury, so Redknapp may tinker with rather than completely overhaul his team.

TEAM NEWS

Teenage strikers Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck are in contention to start up front for United, but Michael Owen may get the nod.

Rafael Da Silva could be included at right-back to give veteran Gary Neville a rest, while Ben Foster is expected to replace Tomasz Kuszczak in goal.

Tottenham defender Ledley King is still out with a hamstring problem.

Giovani Dos Santos could feature after recently returning to training following an ankle injury.

MATCH PREVIEW

Tottenham, beaten on penalties by United in last year's final, are looking to reach the last four of the League Cup for a record-equalling 12th time.

Spurs have not won at Old Trafford since a Gary Lineker goal gave them a victory there nearly 20 years ago, and now face a United side that has not lost in this competition since being humbled by Coventry in 2007.

The north Londoners are third in the Premier League, and manager Harry Redknapp declared after Saturday's 1-1 draw at Aston Villa that his team are good enough to seriously challenge for a top-four finish.

Their performance at the weekend underlined how far they have progressed this season, and a win against United would further boost their growing reputation.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

• These clubs have met 170 times. Manchester United have won 79 of those matches and Tottenham 46, with 45 drawn.

• United have not lost in 20 league and cup matches against Spurs. They have won 15 and drawn five since Tottenham's 3-1 home win in the Premier League in May 2001.

Manchester United

• Holders United are aiming to win this competition for the fourth time.

• All of their previous three League Cup triumphs have been under current boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

• The last goal United conceded in this competition was against Derby County in the second leg of last season's semi-finals.

Tottenham

• Tottenham have suffered just one defeat in regular play in their last 15 League Cup ties.

• They won this tournament in 1971, 1973, 1999 and 2008, and have been runners-up on three occasions.

• Leading Spurs to last season's final is the best Harry Redknapp has achieved in the League Cup as a manager.

• Peter Crouch is the joint leading scorer in this season's Carling Cup with four goals, including a hat-trick against Preston.

Tottenham out for revenge in Carling Cup clash with Manchester United
-telegraph.co.uk-

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01533/tottenham_1533778c.jpg

Harry Redknapp will make changes as Tottenham seek revenge at Old Trafford in Tuesday night’s Carling Cup quarter-final.

Redknapp is still without Jonathan Woodgate, Ledley King and Luka Modric and is expected to recall Alan Hutton, Gareth Bale and Robbie Keane.

Spurs lost 4-1 to United on penalties in last season’s Carling Cup final, following 120 goalless minutes, and with Sir Alex Ferguson also expected to make wholesale changes, Spurs will be keen to progress to the last four.

“Ledley will not be fit,” said Redknapp. “We want to make sure he’s alright, Woody’s had an injection in his groin and Luka was moving much, much better in training.

“We are looking forward to going to Old Trafford. I can change a few players around, players who have trained hard and showed a good attitude around the club.

“There’s a whole group who have been with me and the chance to make a few changes and see what we can do is there.

“We want to get to Wembley if we can, it’s a great day out. But it’s a tough week and gives me the chance to look at one or two players.”

Ferguson serves another touchline ban for his comments about referee Alan Wiley, but Redknapp does not believe it will make a difference.

“I don’t think it will affect the team,” added Redknapp. “All the shouting and the screaming in the world makes no difference. Him being on the touchline won’t make a difference. It didn’t make a difference at Portsmouth on Saturday.”

Match Pack: Tottenham

There will be no repeat of last year’s Carling Cup final as Sir Alex’s young team face Harry Redknapp’s high-flying Spurs in the quarter-finals…

Form guide: Tottenham will be travelling to Old Trafford with high hopes. They are unbeaten in three games, including a 9-1 mauling of Wigan a little over a week ago, and lie in third place in the Premier League table. Perhaps, after many years of false dawns, Spurs may finally be making a serious challenge for the top four. United are back on track in the league, but Sir Alex is likely to field a similar young side to the one that lost out to Besiktas last week, with sections of the media believing the Reds have a point to prove after a below-par Champions League performance.

Ins and outs: Redknapp will be missing three key players on Tuesday, but they are all long-term injuries with no fresh worries from the weekend. Ledley King is out with a hamstring problem, Luka Modric continues to nurse a fibula injury sustained in August, and Carlo Cudicini will be out for the foreseeable future after fracturing both wrists in a motorcycle accident. For the Reds, John O’Shea and Jonny Evans are again both doubts, while Rio Ferdinand continues to suffer from a back injury. It is still too early for Owen Hargreaves, who is making good progress in his recovery from a knee operation. Sir Alex is likely to opt for youth, as has been his wont in the Carling Cup.

Star man: Jermain Defoe is scoring goals left, right and centre, and is a good bet to be on the plane to South Africa in the summer. He hit five in the demolition of Wigan and is the Premier League's joint top scorer with Didier Drogba.

Manager: Redknapp has worked his usual magic and propelled Spurs up the table. They were bottom when he took over last season but was able to lead them to a top-half finish. This year Spurs topped the table early on and, despite a couple of wobbles against the top sides (Liverpool aside), are right in the hunt for a Champions League place. Former Portsmouth, Southampton and West Ham boss Redknapp continues to impress.

Referee: Mark Clattenburg is the man in charge of Tuesday’s game. The Tyne and Wear official was in charge for United’s win over Bolton in October, but Tottenham have experienced contrasting fortunes as he refereed their 3-0 defeat to Arsenal. He was suspended for much of last season, and last refereed a game between Tuesday's opponents in 2008, when Carlos Tevez's last-gasp header earned a point for United at White Hart Lane.

Rivals watch: Two other ties that may interest the Reds take place on Wednesday. Arsene Wenger's Arsenal kids travel to Eastlands hoping to avoid a repeat of their 4-2 league defeat to Man City earlier this season, whilst Blackburn host league leaders Chelsea. Portsmouth kick off against Aston Villa shortly before United.

[fredrian.seven]

Sebenernya seneng juga klo youngster MU diberi kesempatan maen tapi sayang juga klo ntar kejadian yang sama seperti saat lawan besiktas terjadi. jadi setidaknya beberapa pemaen senior MU bisa ikut diturunkan ndampingi juniornya. Mungkin Rooney bisa diikutkan dalam tim selagi dia masih onfire setelah mencetak 3 gol akhir minggu kemaren.

Semoga Macheda, Welbeck, Gibson, dan Rafael bisa ambil kesempatan emas ini. terutama untuk Rafael untuk ngebuktiin potensinya ke Fergie coz sekarang ada isu MU mo ngerekrut Micah Richard karena performa Rafael yang kurang bagus.

Teenage duo Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck may start up front, although Michael Owen's experience could also be used as the holders try to defend their crown.

Jelang Piala Carling
Buktikanlah, 'Setan-setan Muda'!
Narayana Mahendra Prastya - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2009/12/01/72/mcd-AFP.jpg

Manchester - Pemain-pemain muda Manchester United sempat diterpa kritik. Sir Alex Ferguson membela para youngster-nya. Kini "Setan-setan muda" harus memanfaatkan kesempatan yang kembali diberikan untuk membungkam suara-suara miring itu.

Kritik itu datang ketika para pemain muda diturunkan di Liga Champions menjamu Besiktas. Meski tampil dominan, The Young Red Devils takluk 0-1 dari tim asal Turki tersebut.

Setelah kekalahan itu sorotan tajam dilontarkan media kepada pasukan muda MU. Mereka disebut "bodoh", "tak punya masa depan dan hari esok", dan "MU tidak akan bisa menjadi juara dengan mengandalkan anak-anak".

Ferguson gerah dengan kritik ini. "Saya tidak percaya bahwa media-media memberitakan kami seperti itu. Saya memainkan enam pemain, dua berusia 18 tahun, seorang berusia 19 tahun, seorang berusia 20 tahun, dan dua orang berusia 21 tahun, di kejuaran Eropa dan Anda mengatakan bahwa kami tak punya masa depan. Sukar dipercaya," tukas Fergie seperti dilansir dari The Irish Times.

"Saya sudah memetakan bagaimana masa depan mereka. Satu hal yang tidak boleh kita lakukan adalah berharap mereka bisa seperti pemain-pemain senior. Apa yang terjadi melawan Besiktas adalah mereka punya peluang-peluang bagus, tapi masih buru-buru di sepertiga akhir lapangan. Yang jelas (kekalahan) itu bukanlah tindak kriminal terbesar di dunia," seru arsitek asal Skotlandia itu.

Para "Setan Muda" akan kembali mendapat kesempatan untuk unjuk kebolehan. Ferguson mengonfirmasi bakal menurunkan mereka menghadapi Tottenham Hotspur di Piala Carling, Rabu (2/12/2009) dinihari WIB.

"Kami akan turun dengan pemain yang sama dengan mereka yang tampil Rabu pekan lalu, meski mereka mendapat banyak kritik," tegas manajer MU sejak 1986 itu.

"Tentu saja pengalaman akan membuat mereka semakin matang," tuntasnya.

Sang manajer telah membela dan melindungi. Namun semua itu akan sia-sia bila "Setan-setan Muda" belum mampu menunjukkan kualitasnya di lapangan dan menghadirkan kemenangan.

Jadi, buktikan "Setan-setan Muda"!

Ferguson: Man Utd always serious about Carling Cup
-tribalfootball.com-


Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson insists they're always serious about the Carling Cup, despite fielding inexperienced line-ups.

Ahead of their quarterfinal against Tottenham, Michael Owen will hope to be involved, while Dimitar Berbatov could be make his first appearance in the competition since scoring for Tottenham in their 2008 final victory over Chelsea.

However, Ferguson is committed to using the younger members of his squad.

And, as someone who was in the same situation himself not that long ago, Darren Fletcher has first-hand experience of the benefits now being gained by the stars of tomorrow.

"We don't dismiss the Carling Cup at all," he said. "It has been an important competition for the younger players and lads on the fringes of the squad for many years.

"Last year the lads went all the way to the final and won it. What a great achievement that was.

"For people like Ben Foster, Jonny Evans and Darron Gibson to win their first trophy provided them invaluable experience which will stay with them for the rest of their careers.

"We have so many games these players are an integral part of the squad.

"It is vitally important for them to go through the experiences they are getting just now because ultimately, it is going to make them better players."

Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to recall Dimitar Berbatov to his starting line-up for Manchester United's Carling Cup tie with Tottenham.

The Bulgaria striker missed the whole on November through injury but was fit enough to be on the bench for Saturday's 4-1 victory over Portsmouth and should get a run out in what is a repeat of last year's final against Spurs.

Berbatov could be partnered by Michael Owen up front as the experienced portion of the team with Darren Gibson, Danny Welbeck, Federico Macheda and Gabriel Obertan all likely to be handed a rare start.

Ferguson could still be without John O'Shea and Jonny Evans as both are still struggling with their respective thigh and calf injuries while Rio Ferdinand is definitely out with a back injury.

[man_addict]

Menjadi juara Carling Cup itu sangat sulit, apa lg mempertahankan gelar juara tsb.
Dengan kombinasi pemain senior & junior, saya yakin Manchester United dapat melewati Tottenham dan melaju ke babak semifinal.
Pertandingan akan sangat ketat krn Tottenham berniat utk balas dendam.
Come on Welbeck, saatnya dirimu bergaya lagi di dpn Stretford End.

Ahead Of Our Cup Clash Against Tottenham…
-therepublikofmancunia.com-

http://www4.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Manchester+United+v+Tottenham+Hotspur+Carling+MOzI v4UroEhl.jpg

Manchester United take on Tottenham Hotspur in tonight’s League Cup quarter-final, the team we beat to win the competition back in February.

The teams were evenly matched in the final. The talking points from that day? 1. Cristiano Ronaldo got booked for diving after he was fouled in the box and Ledley King shamefully applauded the referee’s decision, knowing full well it should have been a penalty. 2. Aaron Lennon ran riot down the right wing with Patrice Evra doing little to stop him. 3. Ben Foster was the penalty shoot out hero, winning the League Cup for United.

But who will be victorious tonight?

Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed we will be seeing a similar team to the one beaten by Besiktas at Old Trafford last week. With one eye on West Ham away at the weekend, it makes sense. Although you do have to wonder how much luck our lads will have against top four hopefulls Spurs when they struggled against that Turkish side.

Hopefully, Harry Redknapp will have one eye on the weekend too, as his team travel to Merseyside to take on Everton, who are surely due a result. Which means more to Spurs? A trophy or a top four finish? Redknapp knows the answer to that one and will pick his team accordingly. To even things out slightly, I’m of course hoping he saves some of his first choice players for the weekend.

Danny Welbeck and Federio Macheda will be hoping to be first choice for the manager again, although after failing to produce any real moments of magic last week maybe their places will be up for grabs. Michael Owen would be all too willing to fill one, as would Dimitar Berbatov. Berbatov was an unused sub in our 4-1 win over Portsmouth at the weekend, after not playing since the end of October against Blackburn, where he scored our opening goal. Will the manager shift Welbeck to the wing to accomodate Berbatov or Owen or both? Quite possibly.

We’ll be looking for more from Darron Gibson, who failed to impress as we’d hoped last week. Anderson is now probably below Carrick, Fletcher and Scholes in pecking order, so will need to come up with the goods if chosen again tonight.

Tonight could possibly see the return of Nani, a player Sir Alex Ferguson has repeatedly insisted is not for sale, despite rumours of a falling out. The winger hasn’t played for a whole month, missing our matches against Chelsea, Everton, Besiktas and Portsmouth, and with Valencia and Obertan putting in some impressive displays, Nani really does have a point to prove if he wants to stay at this club.

Tonight will be a difficult one for United, no doubt, but hopefully our youngsters can prove the manager right.

http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2009/1201/darrongibson20091201_412x232.jpg

Kuszczak: The Pole built on his impressive form at Portsmouth with one particularly excellent save from Bentley 7

Neville: Whether it was in combat against Bentley or Lennon the skipper was the winner 7

Brown: The diminutive threat of Defoe and Keane didn't bother him and he handled Crouch with equal comfort 7

Vidic: Slack distribution early on but he grew in stature and was more like his old self as game wore on 8

De Laet: Like his opposite full back team-mate the Belgian was never exposed or in grave danger against experienced opponents 7

Obertan: The French winger was one of the brighter sparks against Besiktas but didn't get much change out of Bale 6

Anderson: Suggestions that the Brazilian has started to tread water were dispelled with a much better display 7

Berbatov: The younger ones around him fed off his calm impact on the game 8

Carrick (sub Obertan 63) A stroll 6

Macheda (sub Berbatov 63) Some good touches 6

Piala Carling
Gibson Antar "Setan Merah" ke Semifinal

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2009/12/02/0459532p.jpg

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Manchester United melaju ke babak semifinal Piala Carling setelah mengandaskan Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 di babak perempat, di Old Trafford, Selasa (1/12). Sepasang gol MU dicetak oleh Darron Gibson.

Menurunkan sejumlah pemain lapis dua dan muda, MU tampil ofensif sejak menit awal. Nyaris tanpa perlawanan, MU mendikte permainan musuh dan berhasil unggul melalui Darron Gibson di menit ke-16. Memanfaatkan umpan Anderson, ia menyepak bola dari jarak 27 meter yang kemudian bersarang di sudut kanan bawah gawang Gomes.

Tertinggal, Tottenham mencoba menggandakan serangan. Mengandalkan pergerakan Jermaine Jenas dan David Bentley, "Spur" mencoba memecah soliditas pertahanan MU dengan permainan umpan silang dan terobosan. Namun, strategi itu tak cukup kuat menembus Nemanja Vidic dkk.

Pada menit ke-26, misalnya, Alan Hutton, berhasil melewati adangan Park Ji-Sung dan De Laet. Namun, begitu ia mendekati kotak penalti, lajunya terganjal Vidic.

Hal serupa terulang di menit ke-30. Saat itu, usai menerima umpan Jermaine Defoe, Robbie Keane berusaha menembus kotak 16. Lagi-lagi, Vidic bisa merebut bola dengan bersih.

Sementara masih kesulitan mengembangkan serangan, "Spurs" malah kecolongan gol kedua MU yang kembali dicetak Gibson di menit ke-38. Dalam kerja sama satu-dua dengan Welbeck, Gibson melesakkan bola ke sudut kiri atas gawang Gomes.

Keunggulan dua gol tak mengubah permainan MU. Mereka tetap memainkan penguasaan bola dan umpan pendek dalam tempo sedang. Meski kurang agresif setidaknya mereka mampu mempertahankan keunggulan itu hingga turun minum.

Memasuki babak kedua, MU mempertahankan dominasinya. Namun, berbeda dari sebelumnya, mereka kesulitan mengatasi lini tengah "Spurs" yang tampil semakin militan. Selain ngotot mengejar bola, "Spurs" juga tak ragu mengganjal lawan.

Untuk mengatasi hambatan itu, MU mencoba memainkan umpan-umpan panjang. Namun, upaya ini juga kurang efektif karena "Spurs" mampu membaca dan memangkas aliran bola MU di tengah.

Meski terus gagal, MU tak berhenti menyerang. Meski kurang efektif, setidaknya mereka mampu mematikan kreasi permainan Tottenham. Keadaan ini berlangsung terus hingga pertandingan berakhir.

Bagi MU, kemenangan 2-0 bukan cuma berarti tiket semifinal, melainkan bukti, bahwa pelatih Alex Ferguson tidak salah menggantungkan kepercayaan kepada pemain muda.

Susunan pemain:
MU: Kuszczak; Neville, Brown, Vidic, De Laet; Park, Gibson, Anderson (Tosic 82); Berbatov (Macheda 62), Obertan (Carrick 62); Welbeck
Tottenham: Gomes; Dawson, Hutton, Bassong, Bale; Jenas, Bentley, Lennon, Palacios (Huddlestone 46); Keane (Crouch 66), Defoe

Sempet bingung kok Park yang ditaruh di kiri, kenapa bukan Obertan. ternyata jawabannya...

Park ditaruh kiri untuk melapis De Laet. disisi kanan sudah ada Neville jadi lebih aman. Mungkin seperti itu coz aku nggak nonton, cuman mbaca aja.

Di daftar cadangan MU nggak ada cadangan bek sama sekali. hanya Fletcher yang bisa maen sebagai bek kanan. sisanya gelandang dan penyerang.

Ferguson Janji Pertahankan Skuad Muda

http://media.vivanews.com/thumbs2/2009/10/12/77746_sir_alex_ferguson_300_225.jpg

VIVAnews - Manajer Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson berjanji akan kembali menurunkan pemain-pemain mudanya di semifinal Carling Cup pada Januari 2010 nanti.

Kemenangan 2-0 atas Tottemham Hotspur dini hari tadi rupanya cukup membuat Fergie bahagia. Darron Gibson menjadi pahlawan kemenangan MU dengan memborong dua gol.

"Kami sedikit beruntung di babak pertama dengan mencetak gol. Spurs mendominasi di 30 menit pertama. Kami tidak tampil baik hingga kami mencetak gol," ujar Sky Sports.

"Pada paruh kedua kami jauh lebih baik. Kami semua bermain sebagai sebuah bagian dari tim, tidak ditentukan satu orang," tambahnya.

Guna memberikan apresiasi pada pemain-pemain mudanya, Ferguson yang tak dapat mendampingi tim karena tengah menjalani hukuman ini, siap memberikan tempat kembali bagi mereka di semifinal nanti.

"Kami dua laga sebelum di Wembley (final). Kami akan menikmati babak semifinal dan anak-anak akan kembali bermain," pungkasnya.
