It has been apparent to me that in recent games,particularly in the absence of Darren Gibson,our midfield has been lightweight, especially from a defensive perspective.The central defenders have been regularly left exposed due to lack of protection,with opposition runners catching us on our heels all too often.This was evident versus Southampton,Wigan and now QPR.Just look how easily Neville was shrugged off by Hoillet,leaving the entire midfield open for him to gallop into. I think Osman and Neville simply aren't strong enough,nor do they have the lungs to hold down the area between the boxes,and we have missed this in Gibson's absence. Also,I think Mirallas is looking increasingly a luxury in these circumstances,especially away from home.He is careless with the ball,surrenders possession all too readily,and clearly doesn't like physical contact. Until Gibson is back,I would sacrifice Mirallas from the starting 11, and select Heitinga in front of Jags and Distin,giving them some protection.With Fellaini back fit,I think we have enough offensive options with this team option,drawing on Mirallas from the bench should we need to.

Heitinga is awful in Midfield.
He would offer us the same protection as the lightweight twins.

As above Heitinga is pony in midfield, Personally I would stick with Osman and Neville (there I said it) for the derby at least our pointing captain will give one of them a kick like he normally does.....they dont need firing up for this one....dont panic!

Is that the new buzz term that you kids are saying to make yourselves sound funny and clever.
The lightweight twins, for ****s sake.
I am not saying I hope they do play or think that they are in form but no need for childishness to try and get your point across. Seriously cannot wait until Gibson is back as I think it will allow Osman to play better as the dynamic between him and Neville is non existent whereas Gibson gives us that solidness and calm with or without the ball.

I dont need buzz words to make myself funny and clever, ive got natural talent for that.
I think the lightweight twins is a good name, my first thought was the awful brothers, would you prefer that?
If Gibson was a racehorse he would be shot round about now.

I like 'lightweight twins', I also like 'the axis of evil' in reference to Heitinga and Neville in the middle. What I'd really like is Gibson and Fellaini in the middle with Osman or Mirallas in front of them

I think you should go with Neville and Osman, I think that has a nice ring to it.

Do I? Completely forgot what I did have as I have avatars and signatures turned off. Maybe I will change it to a more adult theme. What are your suggestions that would show me as somebody who completely lacks a sense of humour and/or shows me to be an adult.
I would understand that if it was Spongebob or maybe even Dora the Explorer but otherwise your attempts to belittle my point is poor.
P.S. I actually enjoyed watching the Simpson earlier, how very childish of me.
P.S.S. Still think using the players names when trying to make a point is the way forward. That is simply my opinion.
P.S.S.S. Neville is **** but the Osman criticism is harsh in my opinion.
I don't think you get it. I'm not criticising your choice of avatar, i'm simply pointing out your hypocrisy.
You just posted a message deriding people for daring to use a light hearted term to describe Osman and Neville, while your avatar is of a character from a show who's comedic value isn't much above shouting bogies in a library.
Pot kettle.
