I agree, Gary was immense today. Best ive seen from him for a long time. Thought Rafeal had the right back position nailed, however with Nevs quality performance today, its right up for grabs
Was the day for returns to form wasn't it. Everyone on the pitch was outstanding today in my opinion. Perhaps that loss to Derby did benfit us after all. Best we've played in Ages. Particularly pleased with Neville and Giggs
nah I wouldnt have him in at centre back. I know he has played there but he is
just a right back for me. We have the likes of Brown, Evans and OShea who
are all better than Gary at centreback.
Its great he is back and playing well, but I wouldnt expect him to be a regular starter.
Not trying to be a "Debbie Downer" but it isn't like Chelsea threw the kitchen sink at Nev. He played well with what he faced (nothing more could be asked of him), but Chelsea mainly attacked through the middle. Please don't say I am slating his performance, but I just don't think we can say he is back, or that he is world class based on this performance. It was encouraging though.
ya gotta agree you cant say hes back to his best after just one game! hes going to have to be back to his best if he even wants to be 2nd choice rb now woth brown back intraining and how ell rafeal has done! still would love to see him get back into dacent form as hes a ledgend and a model pro
At the start of the season, having 3 right backs was not great for us imo because it lacked a settled back 4 but whoever comes out from this the strongest will have a great season! and it can only be good for rafael, being so young and having brown, rio, neville, evra and vidic around him! lucky or what!
I think no one is being too carried away, but with him looking promising, it gave us hope especially when many thought he is done and dusted. He is our captain after all and despite having Brown and Rafael around, the extra joy of seeing him playing well on the pitch after all these bad starts is just great.
I've always said that all he need is time, yeah its just one game but if he can do as good as that for one game, then i live with hope that he can do it again.
