For someone who's supposed to play quite deep he doesn't get very deep does he. I think he hides a bit off the ball, even when we had three in the middle at the start last night Sidwell was bombing on and rarely picked up. Think he's part of the reason we get picked off on the break too easily. Alright on the ball but i'm far from convinced about him. Maybe Pardew telling him to stay forward but if can see it's not working surely you drop in. Loss of Cabaye been massive.

 

Interesting that, I didn't notice it at all. I think he'll work better as part of a deeper two with Cabaye as the most advanced.

 

 

Bingo.

Not enough defensive midfielders in that lineup.

Was very good today and has been one of the few positives of late. At least these injuries is giving him time to adapt.

 

:lol: feel like its a trial by fire, just chucking him in - and he's handling it brilliantly.

worrying thing is he said him self that he's a defensive midfielder,  and today our most creative player was him.

 

What does that say about the rest of the team.

 

Depends on your outlook. As he's not your defensive midfielder in the way that he will break up play and stop the opposition from playing. He's more in the Carrick mould that he'll be the one controlling play due to his range of passing.
