i dont know wat the big fuss is about.. Beckham played better than most of the players last game and he'll probably play better than them if he starts this game... we could use his presence considering our wonderful situation.
Hit the nail right on the stinking head there, Ari. (IMG:

At least he is motivated... Him and Pato were the only ones really against Roma...
Um, Paolo? (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) His double save was half decent, and he had a solid game. Any idea of how much we'd stink if he had retired last season. If Nesta was there, then it'd be a different story, but I think Maldini's been one of the most consistent players we had this season - in his capacity, of course.

BUT..if we play well doing this, then whose to say we shouldn't..i just don't think i have ever once seen beckham used in a holding midfield roll.
True. But we'll need to work a lot of things out, in my opinion (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Beckham is here to add something, and it'll be up the management to find out how he adds up to our game. At the very least, we'll know we have someone to fall back upon in case of injuries from now till March. A free, utility player that also puts money in the bank, and gives his constant best isn't half as bad as it looks. Even if he is a media hog.

Actually, the goals conceded v roma weren't the fault of the two cbs; they were the fault of the lb/rb.
Exacto! (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Oh, how I wish we played wingers instead of LB/RB shtick. A defensive lineup of 3 base defenders staying back, with a front line of holding midfielders, and the rest of the attack flowing through two wingers, AMs, and two forwards. But who am I kidding?!
