ferguson appears to have settled on the 4-4-1-1 we saw today and we are dominating games against all opposition. i hope to god he keeps his nerve in the cl final because i think the 11 we saw today, with evra restored to left back, can overwhelm barca if it plays to its potential.

I still have a little concern over Hernandez against Barca. His attacking threat is considerable, but their are periods in matches when pressure is on and you need the striker to be able to hold the ball up, and it is not really his strength.
Long periods today when he barely touched the ball and against a Barca team who keep the ball so well it could be even more pronounced.
I also wonder how well Giggs and Carrick will perform against the outstanding pressing game that Barca have, stylistically It is a difficult night for them. I think he is bound to want to supplement the midfield, and keep in mind how he talked about Fletcher after Schalke, underlining his big match temperament.
