Also, we need options so whether it's Scholes or Carrick on the bench or the new face it doesn't matter. The modern game is about having options and we currently have nothing beyond Scholes and Carrick who can do the job in the centre of midfield. Fletcher has played well enough in the games he's started out wide but has, for the main part, struggled when played through the middle. As for O'Shea? I'm not going to even bother. Ok - just - at ful back absolute garbage in midfield. Anyone who thinks or says otherwise needs to be sectioned. |

No, not really.
Ronnie comes inside because Fergie/CQ indulge him too much and allow him to get away with it. Sorry but that's true. He fancies himself as a forward not a winger, he probably is but we often lose our shape because he comes inside too much. However I will say that he is a threat when he does do it. A bit of a contradiction but he does do it TOO much. Giggs does it because he simply can't keep bombing up and down the wing. He needs a rest but we don't have the player to come in and allow him to take a breather. Park maybe. Fletcher is not a player who can simply sit deep and get stuck in. He can't tackle. Carrick can, despite what some say and also has the canny nack of making vital interceptions. As for Scholes being 'freed up'. He has that option now. More so than in the past few seasons but he's simply not getting up and down the pitch like he used to. He's no kid and as I said at the start of the season he needs to pick the games he plays/comes off the bench because he certainly can't start week in week out. He looks shattered atm and so does Giggs. If we had Scholes, Carrick, Fletcher and one other (Hargreaves for example) as midfield options I'd be very happy but as it stands our best two are Carrick and Scholes. Edit: I will say that I think we could use Carrick/Fletcher in the centre of midfield for certain games. If anything that would 'free' Fletcher up to play his natural game. |

The good old thick @#%&! statement "but he gets stuck in" err..actually, Carrick as far cleverer than Fletcher so is better positionally, makes interceptions and can actually tackle, and also his passing is brilliant. Fletcher may get caught out and can be seen bouncing off Harry Kewell for unto 6 yards.
