Naismith? Thoughts?

Hes not a wide man. Proved last night because he was awful at times. However Moyes mad a mistake taking him off. When Oviedo came on we looked much worse going forward

Not Oveido's fault, everyone else was shafted. Fellaini did nothing in the last 20.

Naismith's a pretty good player but he isn't very versatile. He's a striker through and through and sticking him on the wing is a textbook example of square pegs in round holes, he should either play up front or just off the striker or not at all.

I'm not bothered. He's scoring goals for us.

Not the most gifted player but works very hard and gets himself into good positions.

He's been a decent enough replacement for Mirallas but he's much more of a sub than a 90 minute man. Would love to see him and Jelavic play up front together.

You cannot deny he works his bo110x off

He gets into some great positions. He will be fellainis replacement

He's gash.

On Wednesday though he didn't help out defensively or offer us anything going forward. It's all very well running around but if it's not productive what's the point?

They did, against Norwich. It didn't really work as a partnership, tbh.

He spent a lot of his time back on the wing against Norwich. Him and Pienaar switched positions when it was required but he definitely wasn't deployed next to Jelavic.

it did first half before they shunted him about again.

I thought we were exceptional first half against Norwich and gave them a footballing lesson. Then we came out second half and couldn't string two passes together, set the tone for the following 45 minutes and we never really recovered.

Although not squaring the ball to Jelavic for a tap-in was absolutely criminal.
