FLOPS OF THE WEEK (4-4-2)
Considering they shipped four goals at home, it comes as no surprise to see Edwin Van der Sar and Nemanja Vidic included in the duds XI. Indeed, Vidic's performance was so bad it warrants the individual title of flop of the week, although that has to be shared with the equally slipshod Andy O'Brien of Bolton.
Danny Simpson - owned by United - joins them in the rather shaky looking back line after the Blackburn full-back was given a torrid time by Theo Walcott at the Emirates. Didier Zokora, who was awful against Aston Villa, makes up the numbers in the middle of the park.
Anderson completes the trio of United misfits while Bolton's Gavin McCann and the red-carded Mathew Bates line up alongside him.
At least United fans can take comfort in the fact that two of their cross-town rivals - Manchester City pair Elano and Robinho - were just as rubbish over the weekend.
