Don't blame the way Fergie had to put out that midfield cos he
didn't have much option as the news is Park, Darren Fletcher and
Michael Carrick are all injured or unwell and would also be out for
Tuesday's Champions League game against Marseille...
Of course some probably didn't knew this at the time of the
line-up but Fergie had to improvise as he only had Gibson, a 35 yrs
old Scholes & a 36 yrs old Giggs available in midfield. Scholes
and Giggs we know cannot run much so to start them would be really
bad especially against a fast moving Arsenal side...
The plan was to ask Fabio and Rafael to give everything they got
for the first 45 to 60 mins cos Arsenal was at its most
dangerous during this time as players are fresh... Running up and
down covering lots of areas but in doing so, they couldn't last the
full match and that's where Giggs and Scholes came in.
On another note, I think Rooney can be convert into an attacking
midfielder cos his passing is very good and at his age, he can
still play from box to box... Fabio and Rafael has a future as
wingers... lol.
And finally, Valencia's return at this time is a real bonus. I
thought when he came back, he would need sometime to get it going
again but he looked as good as before. That's great news for
United. Can't wait to see Nani and Valencia playing together
again. Man! one on the left, one on the right... Fantastic
attacking option...
