The only question is who will play? Carrick or Anderson. As much as I love Anderson I have to say Carrick.

I'd probably take them over man utd's second choice but I'd have to think about it for a second.

It's fine for you to hit the panic switch after every injury and drawn game (or home defeat), but that's just being fickle and lacking faith in your team. You backed them in the good times, you back them in the bad times as well and give them the support they need to get through. I don't see what benefit can be achieved through saying: 'Oh shit, our defenders are out, we're doomed!' other than to perpetrate mass hysteria - and when does that help? :) when it was arsenal i was telling their fans not to overreact, and am doing the same to united fans right now.

Brown and Pique, if they play central defence, will do just fine. O'Shea is weaker, but still able to play as a central defender. At this stage, it has a lot more to do with confidence than ability - even poor players can have outstanding games if they try hard enough (Fletcher's big games have been like that).
