Fergy probably started Gibson ahead of Scholes to have some extra physicality in the middle
He'll be happy enough with a draw.

Been saying this for ages, people just think carrick is ****....Last year he had a terrible season...hes been 10 times better this year...

Do agree with this tho, they just wernt putting in tackles today....

The game was OK but nothing ever happened in either final third....

Nani was doing well but kept falling over....a few free kicks didnt go our way either....

Our center mids just played poor today.....i wish scholes had started....the game started flowing for us alot more

That's like comparing a 1 month old turd to a fresh one..

He has been found out massively in a 4-4-2 this season hence the reason we get dominated for long periods by supposed lesser teams this season.

Fletcher does his role far better and is far better at pressing and less likely to lose the ball.

Not when you're a holding midfielder.

intercepting passes > tackling

There is a reason why Busquets is preffered over Mascherano at Barca...

Busquets is more comfortable with the ball at his feet going forward, better at linking play
Barca's most effective defence is their majority possession for long periods
Busquets helps keep the ball alive.

The biggest change in Carrick has been his passing
When he was confident he was getting his head up and picking people out
Now, he struggles to get the ball out from under his feet let alone picking people out
He's shockingly slow, to.

same with Carrick.

He is obviously not as good as Busquets tho

Overall that was a poor reult by united imo. They were away it was their best chance to make a goal to have a good advantage like bayern has.

United better pray they don't get scored on next game or it'll be like bayern all over again.

I was just explaining why I think Busquets is picked over Mascherano at Barca
Carrick doesn't link play with forwards
He passes it to Fletcher or Scholes and they do.
