Real defensive problems for Inter.
Potentially missing Brown, Neville, O'Shea, Evans and Vidic for that game.
Who would partner Rio in that situation? Neither available full back would be suited to moving inside, Chester would surely not be picked for that game, might have to put Carrick alongside Rio which would proably mean Giggs/Fletcher as a 2 in midfield. Rafael-Carrick-Rio-Evra Not exactly what Fergie would wanted to have chosen, would not risk Rafael at this stage in a knock out tie IMO but wlll have to. The last time we went to Milan with a patched up defence it backfired badly, and the replacments at that time were genuine experienced defenders. Hope Fergie is just keeping Jose guessing and we have a few more available. |

don't see any problem at all with playing Rafael tbh
he's a first team player simple as that O'Shea at right-back the other day with Evans going on for him? Evans going off today? Got to be playing a guessing game for me. Wouldn't even be surprised to see Brown at centreback on Tuesday. |

Blackburn caused a lot of problems with high balls today, aided in part by the indecisive Kuszack but Mourninho will have noted that. Inter will force us to defend, not many teams have done that during the last 2/3 months, most games Utd have dominated the ball against conservative opponents, and it remains to be seen how the likes of Rafael and Evans will cope under conserted pressure . Brown apparently had a set back in training, the same as Neville, would be much more confident with both available. |

Blackburn caused problems in all sorts of ways today, not just with high balls. Park may well cover Rafael, but then again we've now seen Giggs, Park, Nani and Ronaldo on that side in the last few games, so expect to see Rooney out there a fair bit on Tuesday with Park on the left and Ronaldo playing off Berbatov. There's also a fair chance of Ferguson using the option of Neville stepping in to sweep the second ball behind Ferdinand. Let's hope Evans makes it and has a confident start as well. |

I guess he would be the only choice really, god that would worry me though. |

looking at that game today, inter will see that the clear weak spot was the right back area. not blaming rafael alone but we were put under pressure there throughout the game. what's that brazilian full back Inter have got? please don't tell me he plays on the left.
and thank all your gods that nutsack is our number three choice in green. he was pretty awful again defenders didn't want to pass to him. he can't fit in with how we paly |

Mourinho will be well aware of United's vulnerability in behind our attacking full-backs tbh it's more of a worry how easily one straight ball down the side of the centreback can take United's defence out; we've got away with it in similar scenarios quite a few times during the clean sheets run |
