clearly, rafael needs to learn more... but in a big game would you play wes brown on the right instead of him?

I actually understood the main idea of fielding Rafael in the match of such importance and i believe Fergie is right. We mush give chances to the young players who are our future and thank god we managed to sneak a win yesterday.

@Gee: mate, you had me there...its embarrassing to be caught seeing players who arent there on the pitch. To explain, I had a horrid sore throat yesterday, and was alternating between glasses of hot rum punch (you should try the rum in India - kicks like a umm---err, goat?! No, I meant like Roberto Carlos) and bourbon shots the whole match...but yeah, you'd be a goat not to be in a United shirt..>LOL

Wes Brown probably needs a run to get back to his form of two years ago and does make some errors but I'd favor him considerably.

wes brown has been very valuable, but he is built for a central defender. and you know at that level, fast speed for a lb/rb is a must... you have to be very fast!!! i dont think wes has that speed... and rafael does.. the other stuff he will have to learn...

brett - Fair enough mate. However I honestly do think that Valencia is more than a squad player. He has been pretty bloody good in his FIRST season having played for Wigan. He has done pretty well in Europe so far too. How good can he get? I am looking forward to his second season put it that way. He has settled right in, a humble lad, great pace, direct most of the time, strong as an ox and has bagged a few goals. Not bad really. I thought he made a difference in the 4-3 game without a doubt. Nani had a pretty awful time if I remember rightly and Toni's introduction instantly put pressure on the full back and he whipped some great balls in. I do agree however that Giggs was sublime that day.

I think actually you have been way too harsh on him brett. "a poor start to the season" His FIRST season at a club the size of United, what do you expect? He wasn't dropped per se. Fergie was concerned that he was playing too many games in his first season hence giving Nani a run. We both know what happened next. Lets look at it this way, we have two bloody good wingers vying for the right hand side!

@ King Eric, which 4-3 are you referring to. If it's the ACTUAL 4-3 at old trafford with Owen's extra time own goal, Nani wasn't even in the squad mate he was injured, Valencia came on for Park, and even then he was largely ineffective.

If you're talking about the second leg of the carling cup because Nani did not feature in the first leg (injured again). In the second leg Nani was played really well in that game and was involved in Carrick's goal.
