Was Skrtel at right back against Gareth Bale equally laughable or was that acceptable in your opinion?

I thought it was a stupid decision meself. Difference is - what options did we have available at the time ? Of those we had, Carra would have made much more sense. Suggesting Kuyt in midfield ahead of the options of Lucas, Spearing and even Connor Coady is just farcical. Having pondered on it I think we need to play 3 in midfield myself against the shite. If Gerrards fit enough then Lucas, Adam and Gerrard. If not, likely Lucas, Adam and Spearing.

What DM attributes do you think Kuyt lacks?

Positioning and Experience mainly. It's not his position Pesam and there are others far more suited to playing DM/CM even if you take Lucas out of the equation.

Well he has played defensively on the right of midfield for us and Holland many times so switching to the middle shouldn't be too much of a problem. In the last 12 months Fergiscum has played Valencia at right back, Nani at left back, carrick and Fletcher have both played centre back, Jones has only been at the club 10 games and has played CB, RB and in midfield. Rooney has played LM, RM and CF over the last 2 seasons. Ferguson's attitude is if the player is good enough he can adapt if it's for the benefit of the team.
Kuyt in for Lucas would IMO benefit the team.

CB RB - defensive positions therefore the two aren't so difference
LM, RM CF - attacking positions therefore aren't all that different
now if you asked rooney to play as a RB or jones to play as CF...
