I bet people were thinking Donovan was the one we were looking for...
And he has given this team a lift.
Imagine what our team would have been like WITHOUT him for the last 5 games:
--No Heitinga goal in FA Cup.
--No Anichebe goal against Villa.
--No cross into Fellaini today.
--No decent corners (beyond Baines).
--No crosses that Saha/Vic miss.
--0 counterattacks
--No hitting the bar in his first game.
--No helping out Neville at RB.
--No pace since the only other guy with some can't get more than 20 minutes.
That depressed me just writing it. He had a crappy game today, but he and Baines have been our entire offense since January.
Unless Coleman comes back to his prior form after weeks gone, or Rodwell has a stormer, or Barkley gets playing time, I fear for us in March - May let alone if we get past the FA Cup round this week. Still don't think we'll be relegated, but it will be dire footy.
