Saddens me to see Pienaar performing better than anyone else in midfield all season.

And he'll be gone before long

 

[fozzy]

Makes you wonder why he's on the pitch doesn't it?

ok hes is not having a great game but it must be hard to get into a game when the ball is sailing over your head every 5 mins! give him more of the ball to feet and i think he would start to shine again!

 

[stinger]

This is the game where Fellaini would be much better choice than Heitinga - we need somebody who prefers playing defensively higher, harassing opposing midfielders. And now, our central midfielders are sitting very deep and Cahill/Saha are not dropping deep enough.

To be fair Arteta had done his fair share of hoofing today. Not great.

Is it me or did Peanut just take over center of the pitch duties from Mikel?

Nice of Coleman, Peanut, Cahill, and Baines to show up. Pity they couldn't bring the rest of the squad.

Loving people making up their own stats for players!

That's Cahill's job, supposidly...

He's playing well Cahill...as the main striker. Saha's just non existant.

Seriously needs taking off, Cahill up top and Rodders in the middle I think.

Ghost you dont know what you are on about- so quick to turn on players. We are playing it long and hitting the wings every time.

I think we need to bring on Yak to hold the ball up- its just not sticking for Saha.

Exactly!

We're looking so much better right now though. Not much coherence in the passing, but at least we're keeping possession a bit extra. Chalk it up to luck, surely?

Jagielka 45 hoofs so far. Neville 87.

That's what I thought as well.

Hang on pal, have a look at others having a pop too, and leave me and my opinions alone. I am allowed them.

The only way Arteta can be an influence on this match is by getting sent off. No presence at all, it's embarrassing to watch the ball evade him!

 

[bluebloodinmyveins]

Saha has been shocking. We're playing with 10 men here ffs.

Why the hell is the midfield playmaker, maestro giving freekick duties to Distin???
