Observations from today

Neville is clueless in midfield? Where do I start.

He's excellent at everything a defensive midfielder should be. Tracking runners, positioning himself correctly, intercepting the ball and keeping things ticking. Yes he's limited on the ball and not the most comfortable but he's always willing to give the easy option at any attempt. He's very good off the ball, which is something that is not taken into account by a lot of 'fans'. It's a shame he gets so much stick in midfield because he's the best we have for the role he is given when he's in midfield.

- Moyes went for the defensive draw, Neville in midfield justifies that. The team however somehow ignored the usual "we will contain them and hit them on the break" bull**** that is Moyes' tactical plan.
- Once again Moyes managed to kill the motivation of the players with his halftime talk, we did not play for the first 15 minutes of the 2nd half.
- Neville is clueless in midfield and even managed to drag Gibson down with him
- Jelavic is possible the best striker we have had since Dunc in his prime
- Ossie once again bottled it against good opposition - play him against lesser teams and he will shine
- Hibbert got 2 assists today!!!
- Fellaini was awesome today, but boy he cannot run
- We need Pienaar back, he makes the attacking play flow
- McFadden was really good today and actually deserves a contract if he performs like that for the last four games.

I don't like to use the word agenda but you can't have your cake and eat it. You can't blame Moyes tactics when we lose and then give him zero credit when we win. It goes both ways.

In my book you should not play central midfield if you're not good on the ball. He has made a career out of mediocre ability and it still amazes me that he starts let alone makes the bench. All the oh he is a model pro and a great character in the dressing room is bull****. If the young players need someone to look up to it should not be Neville.

Harsh I think.

my views are completely different from Moyes. I would rather have us loose games 3-4 nil if we tried to win the game, than losing 1-2 nil and having parked the bus.
