Aurelio

[Reece]

Definately. I've never been a fan of his but I have always said he is easily easily in the top 3 of the best LB in the Premiership. On current form, he is the best.

Ha ha, I knew someone would flag that as a contradiction. Basically what I mean is, there aint many good LB in the premiership. So by default, he's probably in the top 3. I never was a fan of his and that was largely down to him always being injured. But now that he's been injury free for a few months, he's proving he is the best in premiership. I'm officially now a fan of his but the future of the particular position lies with...Insua

He has a barnstomer today - Can't recall anyone getting past him

Another brilliant performance from Aurelio. He steps up in the big games

[red g]

he is no patrice evra apparently

might not have his pace, but hell of a player....and that free kick was class

[Carras_Shin_Pads]

Think he's a cracking player and a vast improvement on Riise, just be good if he could get on the score sheet a little more!

Nice

When he's fit, he's quality.

Just watched the game again and he really was excellent. Defensively he wasn’t troubled at all and offensively he was brilliant (especially in the first half).

Ronaldo didn’t get a sniff first half and was no surprise to see him switched for the second.

He was brilliant for the first goal as well, pulled the ball out of the air (similar to Sami) and laid it off to Skrtel under pressure.

That’s two great performances against United this year.

He has been fantastic over the past two seasons.

I would play Dossena at left wing - he seems a lot more comfortable in the attacking third. At left back, he simply doesn't have the positional sense to play there. Sell Riera

Thinking about it, the fact that Ronaldo stayed on Aurelio's wing until well into the 2nd half, despite Carragher being on the other wing, tells you everything you need to know. I can't imagine it's because of any weaknesses Aurelio may have; more that they wanted to force him back, and yet he had a brilliant 1st half regardless

Maybe. I personally thought that Fergie wanted to keep the balance in his midfield. If Ronaldo went on the left wing, yes, he would have had Carragher on speed but he doesn't seem as comfortable on his left foot to deliver. By cutting in, Ronaldo would have caused more congestion with Rooney and Tevez dropping deep too.

Park cuts in as well though (?)

Not to the same extent. I find Park is a lot more balanced on both flanks. He did cut in for the early chance but other than that, I thought United came with a plan of being disciplined and organised from back to front.
