Yes and no. It was a crystal clear 4231, with Giggs basically playing the same role as what Anderson did against Liverpool and Arsenal. Anderson was dropping back a little deeper, but it wasn't that much different. And hopefully as he feels more comfortable he can move forward a little more into exactly the same spot that Giggs played that game at.

Of course, it could be said that Anderson had to drop a little deeper since it was Scholes and Carrick in the midfield rather than Fletcher and Carrick. But I think it was more just him dropping back on his own accord.
