    ??????????? Why so confused?

    I am simply asking you if he is slow in some relevant way? Or you just mean he doesn't have blistering pace?

    Or are you claiming he is one of the slowest at closing down, turning, getting the ball out of his feet, passing and so on?

    He doesn't need much pace for the position he is playing so that doesn't really matter, he is clearly not a snail, he is not the quickest obviously but as I said, he doesn't need to be.

    So I am asking if you think he is slow in some way that actually matters is all?

    If he was playing in a role where he was dictating the play ala Scholes, Pirlo and players like that then no - but he's not playing those roles so yes - but he can get away with it.

    So you think it matters, but you don't think it matters :)

    Fair enough

    blind is quick, just not in the Eden Hazard sort of quick way...

    anyway, Phil Jagielka is the fastest player in the league!!

    Blind is quicker or at least as quick as Scholes, Carrick, Biscuits, Arteta, Xavi, Fabregas and many other quality CMs. Pace is not an important attribute to have when playing as CM/DM. It's a good one to have but not an absolutely must like for wingers. Speed of decision making and ability to pick nice pass is much more important.

    So its win at all costs this weekend? Time for Utd to start putting points on the board and stop patting ourselves on the back with moral victories due to decent performance

    I can't wait to see what CB pairing we have out tomorrow.

    Is Jones fit or could it be McNair and Blackett?

    The United Twitter account is always fairly vague. Do any of the Journos tweet live updates from Pressers?

    Jesus Christ our defensive injury crisis bates all out - we have no luck at all. Valencia - Carrick - McNair - Shaw probably tommorrow... Absolutely killing us.

    Tomorrow really is a must win game.

    If we have any ambition to get 4th then we need to be tonking teams like Palace.

    We have been playing well the last couple of games and I know we have an injury crisis that is gone beyond laughable but anything less than 3 points is unacceptable.

    At least the international break is coming up, so we may have a few back for the Arsenal.
    Although that's almost exactly what was being said just before the last international break......

    I can't remember the last time we've had everyone fit at the back. Back in Fergies days I can remember Carrick and I think Fletcher played center back in one game. It's been ongoing for years.

    Rafael is still out. I'd like to see

    Valencia McNair Blackett Shaw

    Really don't want to see Carrick in an centre half, he did well at city but that was down to them being pretty poor on the day. With all these injuries we need to have sufficient cover and the young lads deserve the nod

    Don't care if he goes onto score 20 goals this season - which I really doubt he will - I hope to god we don't throw away 40m signing Falcao at the end of the season. He's clearly been rushed back from a very serious injury too quickly.

    i think id rather carrick in there with mcnair as that would leave a very inexperienced lineup and think we might get away with it with crysstal palace
