I actually prefer Carrick because he is good at reading the game and great on the ball and will also play the ball from the back better than any other CB on the team (outside Rio). I wouldn't be surprised if Carrick finishes his career in defense, ala Mattheus.

Good cross Valencia, header not good enough.
Total football!
For it to go near one of our players rather than out to touch.
Giggs header just over. Probably our best chance.
Gibson - he's not been bad, but he's not exactly been key either. It was nice to give him a start but if we're still looking toothless around the hour mark I'd like to see Berba come on
What is the point of 433 if the midfield can't gain possession.
Anderson or Gibson, most likely the latter will be sacrificed.
One striker against West Ham. Why?
It's got to be Gibson, it's not working out well for him, and I'm not really sure why Gibson is more advanced than Anderson
Might as well just take every defender off and play 10 in the middle..
But seriously though, I'd probably take off Gibson.
carrick smart so far
Fergie trying to turn Rooney into a striker proper?
Because in general he might actually score for us.
Another poor shot from Gibson
Please take Gibson out, right now!!
Don't care how good his shooting is, he is too slow in everything he does.

We all hate Leeds Scum!
We've been good after Neville's injury.
Gibson has been rubbish
Carrick, the young Laurent Blanc Fergie always wanted
Where's the composure Gibson? Some terrible touches out there, Come on lads!
Gibson please get some of these on target.
Gibson > Ronaldo
Attempts taken.
Attempts taken.
We should take of Giggs because that's what a lot of you numpties suggested last week.
Anderson use to score some crackers before moving to United.
Oh Gibson... this time his shot gets nearer to the target than last time
Time for that project to be shut down for good. Rooney plays well with Berbatov, at least this season he has.
not that bad from gibson, he is getting to those positions, surely one of the shots will go in sooner rather than later.
Yeah, everybody suggest that Giggs get taken off for being poor.
no...gotta get him some time. he'll make good.
Just 1 min of added time for the first half
Send Fergie to the stands, and get Phelan to run the show
I wouldn't bring anyone off yet. Gibsons working hard and had some good chances. Hope we persevere for a while.
close
It's akin to bring out the gods calls. It always works in the end!
Rooney up top on his own .....United looking toothless....happens almost everytime yet we never seem to learn....
Scholes!!!! 1-0
Scholesy!!!
Giggs was shite in the first half against Portsmouth, it was a fair suggestion to take him off. Giggs has probably been our best player today.
People are saying we should take Gibson off, as he has been poor. It's the equivalent of him scoring two in the 2nd half today.
Yes
But we all know that Gibson's game isn't so much about mobility, which is why playing deep and trying to control a game is much mroe suited
feck that
1-0 Scholes
EDIT
I'll add in the rest of my post now
Gibson doesn't have the mobility and pace in his game to get himself involved enough in the game, it's not sufficient to be lurking between Rooney and midfield doing very little waiting for shots
That's not his games, swap him and Anderson and it would instantly look better
Great goal by Scholes though
