On this seasons form he would be behind Carrick, Fletcher and Giggs in the order for a midfield place, if we play a 2. There can still be a place for him in a 3 against certain opposition but he needs to be used intelligently. Today was a very strange choice. Really no idea how he thinks that a pairing of Giggs and Scholes are going to control a high tempo away match. Neither can commit to going forward with each other as a partner, they struggle to win the 50/50 balls, win little in the air. Superb footballers but midfield needs a balance. maybe 10 years they could hae made it work but at 34/35 it is a major risk. As I said earlier if you have to play them put Rooney and Tevez ahead of them, their work rate offers protection. Berbatov and Ronaldo was an arrogant selection, assuming we would totally dominate the ball. |

Anderson is not in any 'first choice' midfield I'm afraid, 2 man or 3. Anyone who says that is just saying it 'cos they see him as a 'cool guy'. He has done £#%&! all recently to justify such a statement. But Scholes isn't as good as people may make out anymore. Fletcher is a strong contender to be first choice in any midfield we pick tbh.

I hope they can play 25 games together next season, there is so much potential in that pairing to carry us through the next 5 years. |

Nani will come back from Portugal duty on fire, Anderson will probably just be knackered. If Berbatov isn't fit then Fletcher in and the flying triumvirate taking it in turns to turn O'Neill's packed midfield round until they're all £#%&!ed. 6-3 United, hat-trick each for the twins. |
