All jokes aside, I think you have to look back and say that Fergie got it wrong today. You won't catch me saying that too often as he is a brilliant manager but Evans should never be playing in a game of this magnitude. I don't mind him being rotated in with Rio every now and then but today we simply should have had the best defense possible on the park. Pretty sickening to watch when Evans is out there and you have Jones and Vidic (reigning PL player of the year) on the sideline. To be fair, it was doomed right from the start.
Fair play to City though, if they want to spend 500 million in 3 seasons to get a glimpse of some silverware then thats up to them and I guess they're starting to see some reward. Silva is certainly a special player.
I think SAF needs to seriously consider spending in January even though historically he usually waits until the summer. A holding midfielder (in the de Jong mould) and a specialist right back are a must.
