Positives from today

[Jamo Martinez]

As has been mentioned before I think the balance was the key. Coleman obviously ran out of steam towards the end but that's only to be expected. Good to see him on the right again. Bily slotted in well and Drenthe looks like he could be a star once he gets match fit. the way he robbed that ball and then looked up to find Osman was very promising. Vellios impresses me every time I see the lad. Osman in his best position is international class. Jagielka looked back to his old self. Disappointing result but very encouraging performance. Fellaini immense in the main. I'm a happy blue all things considered. Same as most by the look of things

when we go forward we r good ,when we get r heads in front we drop 10 yards ,ie good and bad

Spot on. Key to this is the Felli/Rodwell axis with Osman in front. Gives us a foothold and chance to release the pace of Coleman or Baines.

One fly in the ointment. Would Heitinga or Neville in midfield have closed down their goals?

We gave too much space to Delph and Petrov in the second half and let them stroke the ball around too easily.

1. We proved ourselves to be technically and physically better than an outfit who we have missed out in the transfer market to and have spent vastly more than us with Cahill on his own up front. Got to give Moyes credit where due.
2. Royston Drenthe looks quick, assured and cool as a cucumber. On first assessment- left side problem - SORTED
3. Certain players back to their best - Felli was great I thought. Showed some great touches and rarely lost the ball. Coleman who I've doubted for a while tore their left back to shreds most of the game. Rodders was decent and was assured and did nothing wrong that I can recall and looked a goal threat. Best I've seen from him in a while. Bily can't fit in here as such because I don't think he's ever been at his best here but he didn't do much wrong and fitted in fine.
3. Young players bedded in like they'd always been there - Vellios caused problems and seems to have a great right peg. Barkley proved he will be the real deal if handled right and caused havoc coming forward.
4. The reception for Kenwright - I'll get stick but it showed the immense maturity of the overwhelming majority of our fanbase. Did that man look like the 'liar' and 'arsehole' that he has been painted as on the internet? I suppose to some the smile on his face was really an evil smirk of a man deliberately plotting the demise of his beloved club (and no I'm not a ****ing "apologist"... christ.
5. The rest of the season holds promise - We won't play like this every week but I do feel there's something about this squad now that arteta's gone. There's something really 04/05 about the club after today. I'm not suggesting I think we'll finish fourth but I believe in this squad as much as I did the last but this time there's no expectation and I think that's exactly what got us that great season 7 years ago.

Please add any more positives, we're due a few.

I agree with all of this. Spot on. Glad to see some positive vibes around these parts. Too much doom and gloom as of late.
I really like the 4-2-3-1 with Osman pulling the strings. I thought he and Cahill linked quite well. And like others have pointed out, it really helps having pace on the wings.

Thought we played well today.Positives for me Fellaini was great - just needs to play like this every week, Hibbo and Coleman linked up well.
Drenthe will be a class act - and finally Moyes needs to give more playing time to Velios showed some good touches I think he could be a top player for us.

So many positives.... the same squad deserves another go next match. I'm afraid that Phil will be shoehorned in to disturb the flow so that the others may be captained properly however.
