bit of credit where due, Moyes got it right and rang the changes early.
Heitinga was getting murdered and has shown an alarming lack of pace in the last 2 games, he's lost the proverbial yard, but for me the Jags / Heitinga partnership has never worked. I didn't think Jags has looked particularly quick of late either. Half time Heitinga off - good move.
Felliani - yard-dog defenders like Caudwell niggle and goad Felliani, do everything they can to put him off his game, which includes bouncing off him, sly digs and general irritation. Olson did the same for WBA. At least this time Moyes got it right by dragging Felliani out of there, sitting him as a DCM where IMO he was still effective and gave us a DCM which until that point had been virtually invisible.
We all know that the Neville and Osman combo in CM is simply not good enough but we have tried to play around them. This didn't happen today. Last week we got away with it because we were bombing down both wings. Neville's one saving grace was that he would (legally) crunch one or two in a game, he's too slow to get to them now.
I thought Coleman was poor today. He should have skinned a ****house like Beausejour all day long but instead struggled and I can't understand why.
Finally - I thought the ref had a shocker and it's getting tiring how many poor refereeing decisions are costing us. We must have one of the highest fouls against / fouls committed ratios in the league.
