Individually they are though. In the top 4 teams they would all gladly take Micah, kolarov boateng or kompany surely.

Gimp I did say that about scholes and giggs. I don't know if they are that great or if they just look that way next to carrick and park and overran. Sorry I mean obertan.

They do seem to have found a second or even third wind to their careers but even giggs has been patchy I've seen him randomly just kick it off the pitch, he diid it against Chelsea yesterday. Maybe I was hasty but I don't see many other teams in the top 4 relying on so many 35 year old plus players.

I'm not suggesting it's a good plan but didn't AC Milan have a year or two where most of their team was the wrong side of 30 led by Paulo Maldini who was about 36 or 37 at the time? They were still there or thereabouts during that time although it's the exception rather than the norm.

Did you see the Blackpool game where we were 2-0 down? <3 Giggsy.

Other teams in the top 4 would love to have the experience and skill that those 2 still have, Scholes even now when he's in the mood can sit there and run a game, Giggs the other week (I can't remember who against) looked like he was 17 again and was playing as an out and out winger!

Look how Chelsea have faired since they lost Lampard to injury and got rid of Ballack. That kind of experience is vital and if they can still play half the season and rested when needed they still offer a hell of a lot over some £20 million flavour of the week from the continent.

Injured.

The real question is,why do you play Fletcher out wide when you had obertan sitting around? Cos obertan is incapable. So why is he still at the club?

Fletcher was on the right side of midfield not as a winger.

It really was a 4-3-3 formation

----------Hernandez----------
Rooney Nani

----Carrick--------Fletcher
-----------Scholes------------

It's why when Scholes was knackered, Fletcher went AWOL, Carrick looked even more awful than normal and we started to concede ground because Carrick didn't have time on the ball (which he always needs) and Chelsea started to over run us.

Obertans had his chances and ballsed it up but hey ho what's £3 million nowadays.

That's because Sofia A is played at 2 miles per hour. Look at what bale did to inter. The premier ship is fast paced so it's not so good.

Besides they didn't rely on 40 year old winger.

Gimp I know what you say but if we had 2 good or even great center mids they would barely be needed but as we are so weak in this position scholes makes carrick look amateur.

But also nani started wide left it was more 442 than your description implies. But my viewing was impeded.

God I hope Wenger takes him off at half time! If he gets a hat-trick we'll hear about it for ever!
