When we were 1-0 up yesterday he was solid at the back. He did nothing wrong and I was thinking about doing a post saying I think there's no one better at defending corners than him.
Then he loses concentration to allow Henry nip in for the winner and I'm thinking he's a wobbly gobbed @#%&!. The fickle nature of the football fan eh? |

he's a tremendous defender whose mistakes stand out because he's so good.
evra/heinze were more at fault for the second goal - they shouldn't have let the cross come in. there was a similar situation in the first half when adebayor crossed from our left for henry to have a free header. evra had a great game going forward but i thought neville was fantastic yesterday in defence. henry was drifting out to the left all the time and neville's positioning was superb - evra could learn a lot from him. actually, i suspect the reason for heinze coming on was to strengthen the left side of defence for that reason. didn't work though :>( i wonder if evra might end up playing further forward at some point. he certainly has the skills. |

He is the most naturally gifted defender in the Europe, and he was outstanding yesterday.
How do we know Henry was his man, by the way? It looked to me from the replay that Rio was covering Adebayor and it was Vidic who was marking open space at the front post when there was already a defender (Heinze I think) there. If you think Ferdinand is in any way a weak link you're off your head. |

If you see it again you'll notice Rio clearly covering the movement of Adebayor and Vidic standing at the front post next to Heinze, with both players marking thin air. But it's always Rio's fault, isn't it? |

Here's the goal:
It's hard to see the picture too well, but take a look at the buildup in the replay, it is quite clear that Henry is Vidic's man, whereas Rio is covering Adebayor. It is Vidic who decides not to mark up properly, and Rio is left with two men. It must be said - the reason Vidic appears anxious to cover the cross coming in is because Heinze is caught well out of position. |
