4 games in 9 days coming up. Carrick can probably play in 2 of those. If Cleverley is fit, at best, he might play in 3.
That, folks, is the problem with our midfield 'options'. In important league games we're going to have to start and leave Giggs, Scholes or Fletcher at lesat a couple times. And they've proven this season that not one of them can manage in a midfield two, no matter a combination of those three.
I'd almost rather we stuck in Petrucci or Tunnicliffe. Not saying they're necessarily better, but we have been simply porous whenever Scholes, Giggs of Fletcher have played. Why have a reserve team if not for this time of year?
