Now for the brickbats - Carrick is shite- slow and ponderous on the ball and slow and pnderous without it: Evans is not a lot better imo and really neither him nor Carrick should be playing at this level nor at this club: Evra cannot - and NEVER could - defend feck-all and the sooner Mr Alex Ferguson recognises that fact the better: then I'm always worried about the Brazilian twins at fullback too. De Gea has a long LONG way to go and very big boots to fill before I'm convinced he's the Real Deal.
As has been said, this United side is really not up to the mark of the sides we produced over the last 10 years or so and it's for me an indictment of really how less than top quality this Premiership really is when we can be sitting 2nd at this stage of the season and having played some shite let me tell you - City and Blackburn both of 'em pissing off with the 3 points from our place as evidence of that.
