That's the problem with Ferdinand, still making the same mistakes he did when he was a 20 year old. They've become less since Vidic came into the defence, but in the past 24 hours we've seen him and Carragher mess up. Had Vidic and Skrtl made those mistakes they'd have been hung out to dry by the media for it, but because it was the Englanders it's briefly mentioned and then not mentioned again. Ferdinand is past his best, his pace has gone and that was his main redeeming feature.
Giggs and Fletcher were immense for United today, Fletcher is now United's mainstay in the midfield. brilliant game, but the old ticker was fairly going towards the end!!
