He was so bad last night, I actually felt sorry for him. A shadow of the great player he was.
LMFAO , but after watching last nights game I could of done with a gram or two !

You can see very easily that between his ears a football brain flickers very brightly, but in terms of pace, he endows Didi Haman with UsainBoltesque speed.

He may be slow and opposition players did get past him easily. but this was because we only had the midfield 2.
His passing, however, is excellent. Apart from the obvious couple misplaced and one went out of play. He has provided several assists since arriving at the club and provides a more thoughtful and incisive final ball than either de jong or barry.
It is plain to see, that Hughes didn't have enough in midfield. With only de jong barry and ireland that is not enough to last a season.
United have, carrick, scholes, fletcher, anderson and at a push gibson. Baconface has rotated them all season so they are fresh.
Barry has played every game but 2 including last night. And every England game for full 90minutes. De jong has also played most games plus internationals. Hughes left us light in the middle.
We also lack creativity from the middle and with his superior passing Vieira provides this more than the other limited options.
on a side note, RE: Ade, I watched him for a bit last night rather than the action (while Vieira gave it away) and he does make good runs that aren't always noticed. In fact, Vieira is the only play that seems to spot these runs.

Some bad passes last night, but did have a hand in all 3 goals I think?
Generally a very positive contribution in a small midfield selection with no playmaker available.

I think he and De Jong (and Ireland) belong in 3 man midfields, but not at the same time, 2 of them together in a 2 man central midfield isn't good.
Vieira when we're likely to dominate possession anyway, and need someone who can play the ball around a bit, and De Jong when the midfield will be a battle.
If we are going for a 2 man midfield i'd go for Zab and Barry.

If Vieira plays in the World Cup, we wont have to have worry about France progressing from the groups.
Shows how good he is now when he can struggles with the likes on Wigan. He should have done a Claude and gone home.

I`ll go with the OP, though a great game may be a touch too kind, he is a class act that is short on any kind of pace..........an while you can pick out passes going wrong, thats because they are for the most part dependant on being read,
Him an Tevez look to be on the same wave lenth, as does Adie but he had a bad game last night with a month out showing in his poor first touch.
