I disagree with the suggestion that he has “lost” his pace. Giggs is still a very, very fast runner – what he has “lost” is his killer instinct. He rarely attacks opposing defenders. Perhaps that’s because he now “knows” he can’t beat them for pace but even if that were true that’s not the key point – the key point is that he has lost that total self-belief that enabled him to turn on the jets and leave a defender in his wake. Also, and very curiously, he seems to have lost some of his close control, too.

The upshot is that he could – and should – be “refashioned” into a late-game sub. If he were to fully accept that role then he could be devastating against tiring defenders. But, for that to be so, we go back to the question of self-belief.

It is sad to see him lose his pace, but I think what made it even more frustrating for most fans was that Giggs seemed to lose possession more than in years past. Experience is one thing, but it counts for nothing if you can’t keep possession. I agree that Giggs will have a part to play in the seasons to come and it saddens me that he’ll soon hang up his boots. A true legend.

Giggs still has big role to play in the next couple of season. His experience is vital during the crunch end. And albeit last season was a poor one by his standards, while watching the season review he has an assist almost every three goals.

Unfortunaltly time waits for no man, and last season Giggsy looked his age.

In saying that Wigan away and games we need an experienced head, if we are leading in Europe or togh prem games then he could bring us home.

I lot depends on how Nani develops next year, and who or if! we bring anyone in this summer.
