So it's obvious that if Ferdinand and Vidic are absent that we concede more. They are the heart of our defence and obviously if they are absent, teams are going to look to exploit that. Brown has got nothing to do with Vidic and Ferdinand. The fact that they are scoring where Ferdinand and Vidic are absent, indicates that Brown is doing a good job, else they would've attacked through Brown's area, but they didn't, they attacked through the centre where Vidic and Ferdinand were. Also, if Ferdinand and Vidic are there, we still have an excellent defence, which can only mean that every defender is doing a stirling job. I would've thought that they would target Brown cos Vidic and Ferdinand are tough to get through, but yet we still have an excellent defence. We conceded 2 against Middlesbrough. So what? It happens. More importantly, it happens once in a blue moon. You can't blame Brown for United conceding 2 especially since Ferdinand and Vidic were absent and those are the areas they exploited. Or maybe you expect Brown to run around the whole backline defending, doing every defender's job. Brown can only defend on the right cos that's where he is placed. He can't leave that position and run around to defend other areas, cos then he's position is vacant and then he needs to depend on midfielders to do his qualified job. It's different for a midfielder who can run around the whole place and do defending(cos he knows that the defenders are in their place), but a defender needs to be on his spot, marking his man otherwise teams will get through and score. Imagine if everyone just started running around and defending randomly. We would sit in the bottom half of the log. Anyway, like you said, you don't like the guy so nothing we say would ever satisfy you. That's my last say on the matter.
