I think rafael had to make that challenge as ribery was running down the middle n looking dangerous, most players wld have done that... But he was unlucky to alr be on a yellow card, n the fact the referee was intimidated
Im not putting fergie down or discrediting him of anything, but i just find his decisions this rd back fired as he tried to keep the faith with the players on the pitch. However, van der gaal was more quick to make the decisions that count, n they went through even tho they lost. So u gotta respect the man for his calculations.
Carrick is a major disappointment this season.. In fact he was only gd in his first, but nv the player he was at spurs. I think he is behind scholes n fletch and just slightly ahead of gibbson. Fletch has been our engine room this season, scoles doesnt lack skill or ability as compared to any other midfielder in the country, just that he cant do it week after week anymore, needs a game to rest after every 2. Gibson can pass as gd n shoots even better than carrick, just that he is not as experienced/composed.
This shows we still lack a striker like RVN, a fox in the box. Berba is a 2nd striker, rooney is not a natural finisher, n we had our goals from midfielders today.
Still feelin sore
