Hes still devloping, all the tools to be a top player, he needs to learn how to view the game systematicly and be more tacticaly aware.
I thought he had a better game than Arteta, Fellaini, Osman and Cahill personally.
And Distin.
He was just a passenger.
Random names thrown forward there but seeing as so;
Arteta scored, and played a part in the first.
Fellaini played a part in the last two goals. Controlling and laying it out brilliantly to Baines for the cross for the second, and being a handful in the area for the cross that lead to the equaliser.
Osman, great assist for the first.
Cahill scored and assisted the third.
Heitinga just hasn't got going yet. There was one time he got skinned and just gave up - it'll come, but fans saying he's on his game right now will be in for a treat when he gets going.
Oi mate, get your own avatar. I actually made that one myself using photo editing software I use for web design, just FYI.

Cahill scored and assisted the third (and released Arteta for our opener).

A passenger how? He was getting on the ball, looking for it, and only gave it away once or twice all game. He's the holding midfielder so naturally, he's not going to get forward as much as our other midfielders. When players have 'shockers' they usually make lots of mistakes or give the ball away all the time, Heitinga did neither. He also made three of four passes that only Scholes could compete with during the game.
I think he made one or two mistakes, getting done by Fletcher being one of them, but having seen the game twice, there's no way he had a shocker or was poor. Fellaini made a mistake against Villa, was his performance shocking?

Why do people keep bringing in random other players?
Opinions, opinions. I just thought he had a poor game and was rightfully replaced.
He's off his usual pace. If you watch Fletchers goal, Distin could make a good case that Heitinga lost his man. Heitinga tracked him for a moment, then let him go.
But anyway - he just gave a Tobias Linderoth (theres a random player to keep up the trend x) performance for me - a passenger.
For me, that instance you gave epitomised his start. Lax.
It'll come though, he's a very good player.
