Disagree

De Gea has had next to nothing to do and we look dangerous

I don’t think we should take Scholes off, because what happened the last time we took him off

I do think Clev should come on, just not sure for who

by Sweet science on Feb 11, 2012 1:37 PM GMT up reply actions  

Think you're laying it on a bit thick.

Sub out Welbeck and you should be good to go.

As well as Danny has played, he hasn’t done it in the box

all three were very solid

Rio’s covering in that half is the reason why though we haven’t conceded a goal. That’s a bigger key than any solid on-the-ball defending than by either Rafa or Evans.
