Yep, with Neville out it's worth a try. Like you say, Beckham needs to be on the pitch for his set pieces if nothing else; he's also hardly been our worst player so far.

Another (less likely) option would be 3 at the back; with Neville out and Ashley Cole as good as out. Don't know how he's escaped the attention, but A Cole looks bloody awful at the moment. A bit like the Ronaldo discussion, Cole's game is based on pace and fitness. He hasn't got it, and it shows. If he's not doing anything, why play him? Could have a back three of Carra-Rio-Terry, with Carrick or Hargreaves brought in to release Gerrard and Lampard. Alternatively, if we need to attack, can switch to 3412 with Rooney behind 2 strikers.
