Hold on a minute! I know he's been shocking of late and shouldn't start but he should get a place on the bench for this. I don't know why he's been so poor recently but this could be just the game to get him back on track. If you can't motivate yourself for a derby then you never can. Also he always seems to roast Evra when he plays them, I remmber in the Carling Cup last year when he skimmed Evra about 4/5 times. Yet when Johnson faced Evra he couldn't beat him. Evra in the past has struggled against small, quick wingers who run at him with the ball. He's also the only player in the squad who'll understand the passion of a Manchester Derby.
I'm not saying start him, but possibly bring him on with 30 minutes to go. If he performs well it could rejuvinate him as there is still a very talented player to be found in that small frame.
