Imho, Carrick must be played. He had a good game for us recently and playing him will give him confidence and make him regain his true usually-reliable form.
And recently I thought Giggsy somehow was playing very well on the wing, something his not done for the past three seasons. Call me nostalgic, but I’d rather have Giggs threading his magic on the wing than being a an steady CM!

@Andrei: I would disagree with you there.
Nani’s problem is in his head. He knows he is being watched, and the pressure makes him perform fro the worse. Just like Berbatov, or Andrew Cole in his early days, he is making things hard for himself. The moment he’ll start to make the simple things right, he’ll sort out his poor decision making and be effective on a regular basis.

Also Nani, more often than not brings danger when he is on the ball, but fails to deliver. Anderson either turns up brilliant (but very rarely unfortunately) or just does his usual workhorse type of display (more often than not). Nani also has a very sweet shooting foot which Anderson despite recently braking of his scoring duck, doesn’t have.

THe bottom line is that as an offensive player, Nani gets in dangerous positions much more often than Anderson does.

But I’m not advocating selling either of them, just that Nani if gets his frame of mind right, is more likely to be the one delivering the goods. But Anderon will still be needed for his defensive contribution, mind you.
