Defence against Milan?

Still, he's done as well as can be expected of him so far. Perhaps he could put in a great performance somehow.

I don't know. Our back four won't fill me with confidence, whoever they are, but if we may as well rank the shit in order.

What I don't understand is Fergie's insistance of putting Cathcart on the bench but not bringing him on. When Evra got injured, the @#%&! came on who is a left winger, and a shit one at that.

May as well put a youth defender in there, maybe not against Milan, but surely Sheff Utd at home was the perfect opportunity.

Cathcart picked up an injury in training last week. Out for the rest of the season.

Our defenders are cursed, as soon as they join the first team squad down they go. Bring back Pique I say.

Good point. He and Rooney really got in the Roma defences face, with their constant chasing.

Milan are bottlers don;t forget ( Istanbul anyone ? )

A few more squad players would be handy. I like the look of that tough guy bardsley at villa. Evans has helped Sunderland a lot. And that Pique is pretty good for his age too.
