Player Valuation: £35m
Where was he supposed to be playing? He wasn't playing wide midfield because thats where osman was but he seemed to be almost playing right side striker as i rarely saw him towards the middle of the park.
maybe moyes decided to take a gamble on putting him in a different position, but i sincerely think that was one of the big reasons we didn't look close to the everton we're used to seeing. out wide he just can't boss things in the box the way he usually does. for most of the game even when we had good offensive possession we never really looked like scoring, and i think his edge would have been useful.
if moyes is set on playing him wide, as much as i love osman i think against teams like arsenal cahill would have to play at osman's expense. cutting into the middle and dribbling through their centre backs works against wigan and sunderland, not against arsenal.
so as much as i prefer to see cahill in the centre of the park, the only time i do think he should play out wide is when he's playing instead of osman.
