He played well for 92minutes and 30 seconds then got sucked to the ball which allowed Evra in behind with plenty of time to find the cross for scholes. This is why a seasoned right back is a must in summer

Personally, I would play Ned at centre half, and move Toure to RB. Toure is more assured with the ball at his feet IMO, but I think Ned is a better defender.

Could be a good shout until the end of the season. But if we are serious about titles and trophies both will have to become squad players at best.

That may have been the case, BUT as Touré is more of a natural RB than Neds, HE should have seen the danger out there a lot earlier. He trotted over to cover that area, which is poor for a CB knowing that that space is available. Dunney would have done it and Neds, had he have been playing CB.
Neds got sucked in, sure, but he's a CB being a RB thinking like a CB, not a CB looking to cover.

I thought he was excellent defensively but he never seems to do any overlapping runs which Richards seems to do very well.

I agree with that point but Vieira was already standing Nani up on the edge of the box, there was no need for Ned to get sucked out to the ball knowing full well Evra would be bombing on as he always does. Im not a professional footballer but i know when to come to the ball or cover space. He made the wrong decision. It's decisions like that, that could cost us 4th. He played well but switched off and got punished

He did so in the last two previous games. Yesterday he had to be more wary of committing to such endeavours.
Could you blame him...?
