That was the way it went for the first 10min of the second half when Utd were overrunning them. Giggs was up front, Fortune out wide and Scholes was in central midfield for most of the first half when Rangers actually looked like they had a chance. The above formation is easily preferable theough as it has all 3 in their best positions: Scholesy up front where he can provide or shoot himself (and keeps his ever-so slightly short-legged rabid tackling away from our area); Quinton is proving to be a serious contender for that central holding role; Giggs is more 50/50: not quite being he wide player he was and he probably is better suited for that pocket role nowadays -- just his bad luck Scholes is the better player for that job. > Seems we sat on our lead for a while.

Ordinarily now I'd be expecting a bloodbath in the return game given that Rangers wouldn't want to go down without extracting something from the game at OT (for their fans mainly), even if it's nothing more than a severed limb -- but then again this isn't a real Scottish team is it? Bar McLeish on the sideline and Moore(?) in the centre of their defence they were all furrinners (+ Alan Ball's sprog). ------------------------ Yahoo!
