That was devlish I think - easy to confuse the two admittedly.

And if we'd done as you wish and brought an experienced pacy centerhalf instead of Blanc, and he was injured along with Rio, we'd still be with Wes and O'Shea...

Not really, his mention of Blanc is hardly full of praise:
"...the sale of Stam and his replacement Laurent Blanc and Veron not being able to adapt to the English game. All because of Sir Alex Ferguson's failed vision of today's game."
Unless you think saying SAF lacks vision because he plays Blanc is not slagging Blanc, that is.

An experienced Blanc was replaced by youngster Roche. I share your concern but this is as good a game as any other to have O'Shea and Brown. In fact, probably the best one to do that as Basle rely on pace.
I would not try out Micky as CB, we lose an attacking weapon and he is no more solid than Brown/O'Shea as CB.
I'm more worried about the midfield to be honest, they have some real battlers there and a skillful "roamer".
Good to hear Ergic will be missing, he is 20-25% of their potential.

I agree. If we win the battle in midfield and can give our back four a decent level of protection, I think Wes and JOS will be fine.

Yeah, Mickey's been outstanding in the last two matches. I thought that turned out to be a really good tactical move on Fergie's part in switching JOS and Mickey. Mickey's pace saved us a couple of times in that second half.
Hopefully, they'll sort out his contract soon.
