Tom Cleverley

[Goat]

As some will know, I was never his biggest fan in his younger days, but I took the time last season to watch him when I was told he was defo signing and I saw a different player, was really happy to sign him, even tho I knew it meant less games for Mume, big loss for us, losing McCarthy as well is a proper kick in the nuts.

He only seems to shine when he a) has the confidence of the coach b) is in a team that play at a decent tempo that suits his strengths of quick pass and move. The difference last year in his performances under Sherwood and Lambert was dramatic.

Cleverley and barkley running the show for england.

Hes not a DM and doesnt have the power or playmaking ability to be a dominant CM....possibly could be AM if Barkley drops back but again, isnt of the top quality needed if we want to aim for top 4.

I think hes a good utility player.

"McCarthy (hip) out of spurs game, Cleverley (achilles) doubtful" - Everton F.C app. The word doubtful is good news: doesn't sound that serious

"Tom Cleverley, we will have a bit more information today and we will find out what will be his position towards the weekend."

It does sound like it is not too serious. A big boost for January's games if he can play.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Out for the season.

Sake!

Pooh, where did you hear that?

He won't risk him if there is any doubt, he should have learned from his mistake playing McCarthy.

think the lad Ali at spurs is going to have a big say in England's centre mid position.

Very true mate.

Interesting quote from Martinez this morning when asked about Cleverley, He said he had a calf problem then said calf/achilies injury. I'm hoping he may have strained the lower calf where it meets the tendon, if so could be back in a week or 2.

And he's got a really snidey streak in him too has Dele Alli - a gifted youngster with a mean, nasty side to him.

I think he has played all the Christmas games maybe he will get a rest against us

IMO, the tightness was more than likely due to playing so many fast-paced games in a congested period after returning from a pretty bad injury.

Fingers crossed he'll be back for the City game next week. I can't see him recovering in time to face Spurs.
