Not wanting to quibble when we got the result in the end but playing Park ahead of Tevez made no sense. Hargreaves in a forward midfield role is a little odd as well. It means Scholes plays too deep and is really ineffective with Carrick also deep in a semi holding role relying on the long ball to set up attacks. It rather handed the initiative to Arsenal in that first half. If Fergie intends to persist with this set up in future then Anderson is a better bet than Scholesy.

I'd prefer OH in his traditional holding role with Scholes pushed forward where he is far more productive.

It was good to see Giggsy coming off the bench and being a steadying influence in the last moments of the game. That really should be his role from now on.
