i thought the back 4 did well i know parma wernt up to much but o'shea looked good along side rio and wes brown looked like the player we all knew he was at r.b 
If Gaz Neville remains injured Brown may stay in as right back -- he started there adn wasn't bad.
Whats even better is that they are all young too. Time to develop an understanding of each other. And who knows, we may have the makings of our own old boys rearguard.

agreed. he looked a bit out of form whenever he's at the CB position.
I hope they keep the same back four tonight.

Not true, he had plenty of games last season at CB where he was outstanding.
Agreed, but don't forget Carroll. I thought he played particularly well and he is young too. He has never let the team down and I would be happy to see him have a run in the first team whenever Barthez is injured or even if he's not.
Parma didn't really test our kids, but on the ball they all looked first class. It is a huge advantage for a team with our style of play to be able to bring the ball out of defence like that, rather than hoofing it up and hoping that someone will get on the end of it. Hopefully Silvestre will be told to cut down on the long balls.
