DON'T DROP OFF

John O'Shea has warned United's defence not to drop too deep this Sunday or
Thierry Henry will punish them.

"Henry in the last couple of seasons has been one of the world's best.

"At United, we try to stay tight to him as the lads we have at the back are fairly
quick.

"If you drop off, you give him space.

"Some teams like to drop off but others like to keep a high line to close down the space he likes to move into."

Roy Carroll chipped in

"The way we're defending at the moment, there's no reason we can't keep a
clean sheet. We don't care how many goals Arsenal have scored.

"At least we're not conceding many goals right now, which gives the team a lot of confidence. And I've been really happy with my own form since I came into the team."
