Rafael

What a player this guy has become. For a while he was one of those 'why isnt he a winger?' kind of full backs and attracted a lot of (not unwarranted) criticism from fans and pundits, but this season he's been absolutely immense. He was class last night and he was a fantastic presence for the more inexperienced defenders. I can genuinely see him becoming one of the top defenders in the world in a few years if he keeps up his form

Also, future captain potentially? Just a thought

Nah, not anymore...

I decided to shave all my hair off last week, so I am now sporting a new "thug" style doo that nobody wants...

I haven't had the thug look since I was supposed to be in school.

It's Movember now too, so I will be growing a hitler tash...

I have never shaved my head. I am scared that I might have a weird shaped head and a close cut will show it off.

I can't grow a beard I don't think I ever actually finished going through puberty. But if that's the case there is a chance things might still grow

so do we have any hope for Fabio

I think Fabio will make it at United but it will probably be a J'Oshea type of story. Crucial squad player but wouldn't really be picked if the full squad was fit.

It all depends on wether he can prove himself before we splash big on an Evra replacement or Buttner takes the spot. Buttner is probably 2 years away from being anywhere near a first choice left back. He's shown promise but nothing in his bag that Fabio doesn't have.

Good to see that I am not the only one worried about his limited abilities defensively. I was beginning to feel a little dispaired on this issue.

If MUFC want to achieve, and continue to achieve, at the level I think they do, then they will need a much better defender in this position than they currently have.

Don't get me wrong I think he may make a fine squad player - but more often than not on the wing. And he is exciting to watch. Sometimes, though, it is the wrong kind of 'excitement'. One based more on fear.
