Apart from the few needless fouls he was decent I thought, definately refreshing to see him almost finish a match.
Just needs to mature on the pitch, get some experience of when to not go in, but that'll come with time.

Agree. Apart from the silly fouls he was very good. Superb going forwards I thought. His running ability gives us a great outlet IMO.
From what I remember of Rafael, Fabio seems a lot more comfortable running at people and much like his brother has shown improvement every game.
Rafael is amazing at running at people.
Rafael seems a bit faster and stronger than Fabio. Fabio has more skills though.
Can't wait for Rafael to get back properly, would love to see them start together.
Rafael>Fabio.
Ah yeah, don't disagree with this at all, but it will be interesting what happens once Fabio gets some more games under his belt. Rafael has been out a while, lets not forget Fabio was quite impressive in the Champions League Final, one of very few of our players who did themselves justice.
For the injuries Fabio has had and the lack of games in comparison to Rafael he is very impressive on the ball, and looks quite mature in his possesion.
I know he is, but I think Fabio looks a bit more natural with the ball, if that makes any sense?
Evra seems to have gotten his shit worked out though, he's playing much better now as compared to the start of the season.
Better defender than Evra for sure.
Impressed by him. He can play just as well on the left or right for us.
But those niggling fouls.. He's got to know when to apply pressure without conceding cheap free kicks.

It'll come with experience.
Harsh, what did Evra do wrong today?
Definately, I still feel left wanting a bit when seeing him play nowadays, perhaps that is only because he set his standards so high before in his career.
That being said, he was great offensively today, got schooled a bit by Obertan though.
I kinda feel Fabio would've matched the speed of Obertan better.
I doubt it will, when we're chasing games Vidic is often the biggest culprit of trying to hard to win the ball back.
Fabio is meant to the be more talented player, he's only physically weak because of his injuries and Rafael's comparatively injury-free start
Just a general comment. Overall when Fabio plays we are more sound defensively.Thats all
Nothing. Although to be fair, Evra relies too much on his pace to defend, Fabio honestly seems like he's a more mature defender as compared to Evra now.
Vidic doesn't have much pace though, he usually plows through them before he's the last defender.
Great display overall. Those powerful bursts into the heart of their defences are lovely to watch - when he doesn't get stuck on the forwards.
In sick of hearing this. Maybe when we signed them but even that seemed to be only on the back of who played better at an U17 tournament.
So true.Rafael plays at right back. Fabio play at left and right back. Ergo, more talented. Problem?
Obviously a piss take as you'd then be considering JOS as better than Paul Scholes, but.... I'm pretty sure Rafael can do left back too, just that he hasn't been given chance.
Fabio has nicer hair too
You taking the piss or are you actually that simple?
Should have been sent off today.
Overall I was very pleased with his performance. Should have scored though.

I think that chance Fabio missed he basically started, he's coming on nicely and when we get rafael back things will get better still. He looked v good in the last reserve outting. I think people maybe harsh on Evra today, Obertan is quick AND skillful.. He would cause a fair few defenders problems.
True.
Its a bit like people going on about Phil Neville being the more talented Neville some 4-5 years into their careers.
I wonder if the same thing will happen to Rafa/bio.
Perhaps Fabio's versatility could be his downfall in the same way that Phil was played in a whole host of positions. Whereas Gary probably benefited from playing just one position mainly in whole career.
He's also the one with the wedding ring
I thought they were both married now?
They are...
they are, however only Fabio wears the wedding ring. Its how you tell them apart.So you think Rafael doesn't wear the wedding ring to help people tell them apart?
Clearly not. He doesn't wear it in order to make sure he and Fabio remember who is who.
No one watching the special on the twins on MUTV?

Players cannot improve after they turn 16.
Fabio would make a great central midfielder. I would play Anderson at left back and Fabio in centre midfield with Norwood.
Think ability wise they are the same... Its just that Rafael has they extra fire in him..
