well, fergie has 20+ years as a pro manager more than everyone on here and a great majority of united fans in general. There might be a reason behind it though we might not see it.
If a midfielder misses a pass, times a tackle poorly or misses a header its not a big deal because you should have 4 players behind him. If a defender makes a mistake it often proves more costly.
I think fergie is scared to drop points from school boy errors such as the one pique made when he had a sudden urge to run towards the ball and totally miss a header, which then resulted in a goal.
Perhaps the likes of pique should get more games, they are good players dont get me wrong. I just think fergie is going for reliability and stability atm.
you do have a point because the defenders must get exhausted and it all adds up over a season, i just hope that it doesnt pose a problem as it did this time last season when we had half our defense out with injury.
