To a simpleton like me it seemed stupid that he did not play 5 in midfield. He should have played just Rooney up front and put Anderson in the middle. I just think he is over rated as a tactician since he always has his teams play the same way regardless of the opposition and can't seem to adjust when things go wrong. He should have made a change at half time. As great a team as Barcarole are, inter and Arsenal did beat them.

Ferguson has won a lot but he is not a tactician in the mould of other great managers but some would have you believe he is the greatest manager the world has ever seen.
