really glad that rio is back, can see that he have the backline more confidence and his partnership w Vidic is simply awesome, a steady rock in central defence. btw what happened to Park JS? He is more workmanlike and stamina is good, is he injured?

Fergie mentioned recently that Park look tired, something he never seen from him... Maybe its from playing too many matches recently... I guee he will probably play against Everton in FA cup semi-final as could Fletcher...

now, it is fairly easy, cause SAF will use one set of players, and another set of the next match, resting the oldies.

When rio comes back, man u's defence suddenly looks rock solid. Such vulnerability outlines the importance of rio to man u like gerrard or torres is to liverpool. If that chap is out, the team slumps.
If rio stays fit all the way, then i'm pretty sure title is man u's.
And what i observed is...cannot play berbatov and rooney together. At the final third of opponent's field, they somehow dun get to pass balls to each other. And that's because both like to start their attack passes from deep. Anyway, news also reported that the two dun have much goals combined from each other.
Carrick is still an above average player. Cannot stamp his authority due to two reasons imo: 1) cannot score spectacular goals from outside the box like scholes, lampard or gerrard. 2) Needs to bulk up his body as he can be easily challenged off the ball.
Anderson did well holding the ball in midfield but need to learn more on how to do those crucial release passes.
Haha just my humble analysis and thanks for reading :)

firstly, I think Rio and Vidic got this understanding. Even if one miss, the other is behind to clear. Somehow, Evans did not get this link up with either of them yet.
Agreed, Berba will drops out of his normal high goal/ratios in EPL for the first time . Neither Berba or Rooney is an out N out striker so SAF in the porto game, did well, when he pushed Ronaldo upfront and allow these two to work off him.
Carrick, we all know came under so much when he "inherited" #16 jersey, or Keano's. But I would say he is growing into the role. Unlike Keano, he goes about his business in the quiet way, much like Scholey. Many a times, he was the one tracking back,blocking off passes, and I do think he is quietly winning alot of his critics over.
Anderson seems to thrive in Porto, perhaps his old backyard or etc. He is maturing, but got tons to learn. A good model would be Essien.
