    Gary Neville looked really sharp earlier in the season - excellent attacking runs, great crosses and even good shots on goal. But recently he looks like (slight exaggeration coming up) the weak link in our attacking play - he's still steaming like a mad ferret up the right, but when he gets near the penalty box he seems to freeze up a bit and you kind of know the cross will be over/under hit. Maybe it's the calf muscles, maybe he's just tired, but I'd like to see him rested now and again with the excellent Brown coming in. I have the feeling that if he's not used more sparingly, we could lose him for months to a serious calf injury. Giggs can wear the armband in his absence.
