With 7 subs next season we simply wont need utility players. We'll be much better off playing specialised players. Fletcher is a very good central midfielder. O'Shea will find that he only plays in defence. Hargreaves will likely play right back at times but with SAF's faith in Neville and Brown needing games, they may be few and far between. The majority of games he plays will be in midfield.
From our current squad:
7 subs
Giggs/Nani
Fletcher
PIG/Foster
O'Shea
Brown
Anderson/Scholes
Hargreaves
With those options, how exactly is O'Shea going to end up in midfield? Giggs, Hargreaves, Anderson/Scholes and Fletcher all ahead of him. Brown and Hargreaves ahead of him for right back. I've not included Silvestre as there was no space, but we'll likely find that Silvestre is picked ahead of O'Shea when Evra cant play. So how is O'Shea a better option for us?  |
Fletcher's shite out of position. Essien's clearly competent out of position, that's where your point falls on its arse dickbrain. My post isn't pro-Fletcher; he's ok where he is, but he's crap out of position. With a 5-man bench, he's not a player who can provide cover for two positions.
