Well Terry, as we know, Alex never makes one change when he can make three..On the surface, Fulham were given little respect regarding team selection. But I guess we don't know the full extent of the players fitness. Yet, man for man, All the United players looked on paper better than his opposite number yesterday, so we can only speculate why those who actually did play did not play better than they did. I think it has been coming. We have been not playing too well and getting away with it, as Keane expressed suprise last week by our good start to the season, and said he felt so far we have not really started to play! Arsenal also. Difference is their bad results have come in Europe. > Diego scored a fine goal but was otherwise pretty poor. > We've not played two up front for quite some time and it shows: Ruud > and Diego just did not click.

Take out Ruud, Scholes, Giggs (at his best) the currently injured Solsjaer, maybe Forlan, and how many goals or assists would you honestly expect the rest of the squad to get this season altogether? Not trying to be negative here, BUT, the rest of the squad have hardly weighed in with many the last two seasons have they? Quite possibly, less than 10 even between them. It perhaps goes some way to show how much is achieved by so few in that respect, goals wise. > Then there's the back four, surely one of the worst defensive > performances for a long time and they don't have the excuse that they > haven't played together before. I think so far, Tim Howard is the most impressive of the latest signings as far as I am concerned. I think he is a better goalkeeper than Barthez, at least more reliable. Whether Ronaldo will succeed will depend whether he is integrated into the team pattern. Something which so far has not happened. He does his own thing. I would like to see him play through the middle instead of stuck like treacle to the wing. One for the future though, surely. Djemba Djemba and Klebberson (who so far has not had any real chance to be fair) I can't honestly see what they can bring to our club that we don't already have in abundence, that being Midfield holding players. In that respect, Phil Neville has done best of all so far this season, from what I've seen. At least with him in midfield, Keane has more scope to go forward. People forget how good Keane can be in that respect. Keane is not a midfield holding player. That is just the job he is most asked to do for United. He can play anywhere really.
