James McCarthy

[MartSlinger]

Hate to say it after a win -- he covered Osmans creaking legs and was all over the show, running around and covering other players as they went forward. I thought positionally and tactically excellent.

He was essentially a one man midfield. Osman is done as a top level Premier League Midfielder.

Agree 100%. He covered Osman all day long and then still had the steam and pace to get into position and provide the assist for the winner towards the end of the game. MOTM for me. Best performance I've seen from him for us.

Best signing for cash since Jagielka and Baines joined in 2007 and our best ever big money signing.

kind of makes you understand why fellaini is not taken seriously by utd fans - he was never a proper midfielder like james

Favourite player at the moment. As good as fellaini was for us we've been crying out for a player like Mccarthy for years now. Does the Carsley role and so much extra.

Although i believe if he picks up 4 more making a total of 10 before sometime in April he will serve a 2 match ban.

Quite likely that will happen with his aggressive style

What a player btw! First few games he looked a crab but think that was just nerves. Can see him getting more authoritative with each game too

McCarthy & Barry are light years ahead of Fellaini. We have a proper central midfield again, since we sold Arteta we've been awful in the centre of the park.

A little known fact but McCarthy kept his home in Wigan when he moved to us as he was settled. He covers so much distance that after each home game he warms down by jogging down the East Lancs to St Helens, then walks at a brisk pace to Wigan.

Top player.

Man of the Match for me. Has that Keano knack of nipping trouble in the bud by being in the right place at the right time.

Close to our best player this season too.

He sleeps in the dugout mate.

Him and Distin take it in turns to pull the team Bus to away games to save on petrol money.
