I am concerned with the gaffer's management of the team so far this season. He is being outcoached and the lesser teams are losing their fear of the Empire. I think he has gotten a bit too sentimental and is including his favourite players in the team. Giggs should be used very sparingly this season and should only come off the bench. Gary Neville should only play in the Carling Cup....as a sub. John O'Shea should be used as a support player when there are injuries and Wayne Rooney needs to benched to sort out his problems. Darren Gibson needs to be given his chances in the first team along with Anderson. Since coming to the Empire, SAF has tried to convert Anderson from an attacking midfielder into a holding one. His natural game is going forward and he should be released to run at opposing defenses.Rafael should be given the run over O'Shea who is as slow as a Mack truck. His defensive side of the game needs to be worked on, but he wil only get better with more games. The starting team in my opinion should be:
Van Da Sar
Evra
Vidic
Rafael
Evans (Ferdinand)
Scholes (65 - 75 mins)
Nani (RM)
Fletcher
Anderson (LM)
Berba
Mechada/Hernandez/Owen
