Rafael off but Erra stays on?
Why for Rafael? Why? Easily our best player today
Harsh on Rafael.
Shit ground,racist fans..the list goes on
Now that's a weird sub
fecks sake. Valencia RB and Scholes on.
take of our best defender today eh?
oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. this could backfire.
Rafael off? What? Why? Just take Giggs off for Scholes as a direct replacement.
I don't understand refs there.. They have two options
1) Call the free kick to team A
2) Throw in to team B
But instead they somehow pussy out of both decisions and give a throw (that they know is wrong) to team A.

Rafael 
He's been good
He's been good Really can't see the logic in this decision; moving our most inform player out of position, a position where they're weakest. Baffling from SAF.
Then again he knows better than me
Then again he knows better than me
We're fond of making bizarre substiturions
What formation are we playing ??
Stupid sub
Rafael off
Some of SAF's tactical decisions have been odd.
Two vets in midfield this should be interesting
Valencia going to right back then.
playing 3 at the back.
We can't take out one of the centerhalves. Rafa shouldn't play on the left instead of Evra. So yes, If Fergie wants that kind of sub, it has to be Rafael. Cruel but true.
based on the replays, luiz's header was going wide
sorry SAF you have got it wrong , no way Rafael should be off
feck off Webb
end to end stuff now, anything can happen.
wow...I don't want to judge fergie...but that is weird...
i have faith
How hard is it to drive a cross in?
Valencia has been poor this game tbh.
Not his usual.
Not his usual.
we can do this !!!
I think SAF is just protecting Rafael from injury - playing three consecutive games.
playing 3 at the back.
tony v at RB
Taking off Giggs would reduce the speed in midfield too much. Can't have Carrick and Scholes only. I think Rafael is not needed right now when Valencia might as well do the job + he's able to fill in once we attack. It's an all-in situation right now.
phew nearly 4
renties are slowing the game down and were letting them do it
Phew
Our defendingSo now when we need energy in the midfield we have Giggs and Scholes. I love them both to bits but for feck sake they can't do the leg work needed in a game like this.
