  was just wondering with Carrick, Owen, Fletcher, Anderson and Scholes, it is quite a good thingy for SAF to have this many option..
  
  however, it seems OwenH is not completely fit as he is rested for certain games and then playing certain games.
  
  Anderson is with lots of potentials but still green. Furthermore, he has not broken his duck and scored for MU.
  
  Carrick is good in defensive cover as he willing to do extra. But he lacks the attacking edge.
  
  Scholes, good in attacking,creating, can't tackle. And may not be as pacy as the rest. but he can get you the 5+ goals per season.
  
  Fletcher, can do all the nitty gitty stuffs. A jack of all but master of none.
  
  So what's your ideal midfield combination?
  (I have put aside the 2 wingers spot so only focusing on Central Midfielders position).

  Tink we hvnt see Owen pair with Scholes before rite?
  
  I tink this is good combo.. Owen hard tackling + Scholes distribution..
  Sounds like a perfect Ying & Yang combo.. A balance midfield combination..
  
  My 6 cents worth..

  Rotate them, Anderson is doing great right this moment but when the pressure time starts in March, experience to win matches the hard way makes Scohles and Owen the best combo for midfield spots... But let the rest come in to relief them when they will be playing 3 games in 7, 8 days. Like Sun, then Wed then Sat kind of thing...

  i think the intended duo would be scholes and anderson, 8 and 18.
  similar to rio and vidic 5 and 15. ronaldo and nani 7 and 17.
  
  and why the heck is alan smith still on the website listed as our first team player????
