That means United have to do without Rio, Mickey, G.Neville (Banned for 4 Games)
*Cries*
Spare a defender anyone?
It looks like Wes Brown is set to continue at centre back aswell:

Is there any hope for us........
In the last two games against Fulham Ronaldo has played very well.

Nope we played 4 along the back with Keano in the centre alongside Brown.

Because Keane got injured during the game.

Yep, young Ron's coming along just fine.
According to Paddy-o-What'shisface, we were "all-over-the-place" at times, and we'd have been happy to take the 2-1 scoreline as it was, halfway through the second-half, so that we didn't conceed another stupid goal, since it was guarrenteed we would get a third.
I missed it live on TV, but from what I heard on the radio, it sounded like we were only playing with three at the back, as Roy Keane sat "in the hole", between the defence and midfield.
Now, I've always thought placing Keane there we be a good start to helping our problems, given the fact that we can do little-more about it. But, why, then, was he taken off for Djemba-Djemba, later on, when the scoreline was still so-close??
Yes, we have the home-leg against Porto in mid-week...
But, it's hardly gonna make a difference, given that he's suspended for that game, anyway! And, even after that, there's still a good-week's rest before his next game - a whole seven-days, even!
Crazy old Alex Ferguson! :P
From the highlights I have seen, however, Cristiano Ronaldo really looked the part. It may have "only been against Fulham", but his assist in that second van Nistelrooy goal was absolutely world-class, and he seemed to play just like that all-game, looking very threatening, going-forwards. Defenders just seemed to back-away-and-away from him! :)

They said he's out for the rest of the season before the match today, so not good.
Giggs ended up playing left back too!
Back four at end of match, right to left.
P Neville, Brown, O'Shea, Giggs
Worrying times ahead, especially after Brown's poor timing in giving away the penalty...
