ourThe last 10 posts seem fair... until I remember the Official Match Thread where lots of people were slating him and bemoaning how often he was ****ing things up
That goal really saved his bacon last night
Did he cross it for the Paulinho header that was brilliantly saved? I think he did and I remember another excellent ball inside the fullback for Walker. He made telling contributions which is all you can ask for.
My concern in playing him at CM is that defensively he is not that great. Yes he runs around a lot but I've seen him let runners that he is responsible for go untracked too frequently. As an AM you get away with that somewhat but as a CM you need far more discipline in terms of positioning and tracking runs. I'm not sure he is ready for that position yet in our team but he could mature into it.
He was good last night. I've said this many times, but we really need to consider 4-3-3. With Sandro shielding the back 4 and Holtby and Paulinho attacking for instance. Having one guy playing behind the striker doesn't seem to be clicking for us.

Just watched today's game.
Busy little fella, isn't he?
Throughball king At the end of the season I'll have to make a compilation of them!

His work rate is excellent and can definitely pick a pass but he has to cut out the annoying habit he has of dropping super deep to look for the ball. I like him though and he's a good option to have but he can annoy me during a game when i see him in the CM or DM position looking for the ball which makes the striker totally redundant.
I think he'll be better in the CM position as one of a midfield 3.
Such a shame Defoe didn't score that because if he did, that pass would have been raved about for the rest of the week. He pretty much cuts apart 10 Sunderland players with one pass. It's fantastic.
