I disagree - good striker sure enough but Arsenals defending has been woeful - the Andy Grey `Messi w@nkathon` is starting to wear me down ...

Wayne Rooney obviously. if you listen to the united fans anyway.

Messi is on a different planet to anyone else. The closest is Ronaldo whos a long way off and Rooney is even further away from Ronaldo

Got to disagree with you on this fella. I like Berba a lot, but on Saturday he was shocking. His movement was just poor - not lazy as some would have you believe, but poor. You saw a difference when Macheda came on, he stretched Chelsea.

Been a lazy centre back probably clouded my judgement on his movement. What I was talking about was some of the criticism of him in front of goal, when he had no chance to prove himself.

I'd be suprised if Ferguson would risk playing a two-man central midfield from KO against a team who can keep the ball effectively. If he did go that way, I am sure he would acknowledge it as a risk. Do you think Ferguson trusts United's midfielders to play as a two in the big games?

Honestly? No, I don't think he does. A three man field is certainly our strongest option, but who to play? Giggs and Scholes have played the last 3, and were poor against Chelsea, Park looked knackered against Chelsea, he isn't used to playing this often.

Berbatov isn't a lone striker, we need a goal, so for me, the risk of sticking two up front is worth it.

Is that directed at me? I haven't watched enough La Liga this year to make a proper judgement on Messi but what i have seen in the Champions League has been impressive. From what i hear he has been as good in La Liga and would be a worthy winner of the WPOY. My opinion is that he isn't a striker though. Maybe a 2nd striker though i would view him, like i have said, as an attacking midfielder.

Anyone really.

He is the best attacking player in the world.
