O'Shea at left back and Mickey in the middle is just crazy. How to create confusion in one simple step. Is Giggs vice-captain again? Doesn't look like he wants to be.</strong><hr></blockquote>

O'shea is versitle, and silvestre prefers it in the center! Some one does need to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and i think either Scholes or Nistlerooy are our best bet?? And they need to hurry up!!

Could start by putting Mickey and O'Shea back into their natural positions.

That looked a certain penalty on Yakin by Silvestre. But on closer inspection definitely not a pen...just touched the ball - just.

I tell you Silvestre is keeping you in the match.

Easy, you're not playing against Newcastle, but against Basel, that's a different category :D

Right about the "pen" mate. Not sure he's keeping us in the match otherwise. I agree with thomson on this one - they should both be moved back to their normal positions.

I'll take that as a no then.

Practically everything that was present against Newcastle is absent here, including formation, Veron, desire, individual performances, width, holding the ball up, midfield dominance etc. The players just seem to look more comfortable and perform better in a 4-4-2 imo. Why Silvestre isn't on the wing when he was so good offensively the other day is beyond me.

Neil conveniently ignores the fact that Newcastle's defence didn't turn up on Saturday whereas Basel has reinforced there's.
