I've been reading this forum for a while

Aurelio is getting better.

Its nice that a probationary member feels the need to slag everyone off.

Unless you were banned previously and you've got a new account, I don't think you have been reading that long...

Arsenal have Clichy and Sagnol.

Man United have Evra.

Chelsea have Ashley Cole.

All three teams have one thing in common and that is they have at least one full back who is fast, over laps the player in front of him and is able to deliver a cross. Aurellio, Arbeloa, Finnan and Riise are our first team full backs and none of them are blessed with pace. The modern game requires you to have pace throughout the whole team and yesterday it was evident more then ever that you need your full backs to provide you with width to help stretch the opposition.

Man United looked dangerous on almost every attack because Evra was bombing forward at every opportunity and this left our full back exposed. The manc goal was scored from a full back who had got forward, stayed there and got on the end of a cross.

We need to be able to stretch teams and especially using our current formation none of our current first team full backs are good enough and in the summer better replacements need to be found.

Evra had an easy game because he was only faced with Dirk Kuyt but would he have had it as easy if it was Alves running at him as well. He would have had to think again about bombing forward all the time but instead he had a free run.

Sagnol is at bayern mate , arsenal only sign youngsters , now its sagna hurry edit it before someone else notices

Aurelio is improving slightly and he did well against the mancs , i think though i'd prefer riise for now , yes he's not been getting the goals but he ahs been better defensively , more experienced in the league and this is what my back four will be till next season whr i feel we need a right back like daniel alves .

Reina had abit of a shocker , he was intimidated but he's a top keeper not the best yet but top 5 at least , every keeper has a bad day . without teina's saves today it could have been 8-0 , he saved 3 from rooney , 2 from ronaldo and a couple more , good keeper , clamed his nerves down in the 2nd half .

We have to work out if Arbeloa is because of a di[p in form and confidence, or is it because he's rubbish?

I'm tempted to go with the form explanation.
