    no coincidence that our leaky defence has been a lot better since vidic has been playing again. he's one of the very best defenders in the world, someone who plays the game to solely defend and its a massive clanger leaving him out imo.

    welbeck close down high on pitch easing pressure on us, and is less tired than Valencia, his pace will keep some defenders back too .. all that will ease pressure on us
    but will be pick test for him today

    Nice work from Schmeichel to shut up the ABU that Jamie Redknapp is.

    This is the biggest test for Kagawa, I think. Tonight will more or less decide if he is here to stay. Also significant that Evans has been chosen, looks like he is our first choice defender now unless Vidic comes back with a bang.

    I think sir Alex decided that prior to Everton game, this is why he replaced Evans and not him
    I think he is going easy with Vidic after his recent setback and injuries
    but yeah.. Vidic will be a big miss, but the replacement is Rio, so not bad at all .. but i prefer Vidic

    What?! This is the same Kagawa that was selected for team of the year last season that also included Ronaldo, Messi, Van Persie, Pirlo and Xavi. And the same one that tore Bayern Munich to shreds at the end of last season. He started really well and then was out for a few months with injury. Writing him off if he doesn't have a good game away at Madrid <doh>

    Anderson don't close down high on the pitch.. hhhh but again I think you are just teasing me here <laugh>
    every good team need goof utility players who work hard and serve the team.. look to how chelsea are suffering with the lack of the balance even when having more stars than UTD

    I haven't written him off, just that now is the chance for him to shine, show his worth, show us that he just wasn't a one-season wonder.
    Anyway, just because he was a success at Dortmund shouldn't necessarily mean he will be too for United.

    only one .. UTD play cleverly, carrick, Welbeck, valencia ..etc. all play for the team and do the hard work .. in Chelsea is 5 attacking players keeping the ball with no one interested to go back defending once losing it .. the balance is not there ..

    1 season wonder? He was at Dortmund for 2 seasons and was of of their best players in both campaigns, despite missing a lot of the first season.

    Dortmund are a huge team, playing in a huge league. If he's given the time, and stays clear of injurys then he'll be a success I've no doubt about that.
