Two major concerns for me..
First is our defending. I never EVER feel confident in our back line anymore at it's stressing me the [Poor language removed] out. They play far too deep all the time and seem incapable of just getting rid of the ball successfully. Every counter for the opposition turns into a decent goalscoring chance and I don't like it.
The second is Mirallas being injured. Knowing our luck he'll be out for weeks now, and on current form he's our best player. Gibson is also taking forever to come back, and god help us if Felli decides to jump ship in Jan.
Sorry to be so negative, I'm really pleased with the win and our current position, but I can't help feeling that we're starting to slip. Think we're in for a tough festive period personally.
Jags/Distin is definitely our best centre back pairing. Jags/Heitinga has me papping myself even with Jags good form.
We really are ten times better when Mirrallas and Gibson (remember him?) are on the pitch. Hopefully they are back sooner rather than later.
Good to see Vellios get a run.
After watching footy focus at lunchtime I don't think Fellaini will leave in January as long as we are still in contention of Champions League places. If we fail to qualify he will go at the end of the season and Moyes and Baines could well go out the door with him. We MUST make 4th at least this year!
