Would disagree with that mate, form what i remember there goal was a lack of space down the flanks, i also remember them bssing Fulham oit if it in midfeild.

Watched Pienarr a lot for Ajax, he didnt do as much defendign but certainly not a Messi or Ronaldo type who could oopperate in a three pronged forward line. I actually remeber him playing the majority of his games centeally which is why he went as areplacement for Rosicsky at Dortmund.

Anyhow Saha on the wing is a no no for me. Id actually have Gos in your team to Balance it and drop either Jo or Saha depending on who you fancy.

Really? Not sure what game you watch, mate.

We were awful against Fulham and we didn't deserve to win at all.

We got over run by Bullard and Danny Murphy.

Yup and Cahill hatcheted Bullard of the pitch if you remember correctly when he was a major threat, hence my cut the legs of comments.

Not pretty but effective.

Fellaini and Cahill were overun, i thought that was obvious. We were awful that game really and we had no discipline at all with those 2 in there.

Well your wrong the midfeild won us the game in the end and Cahill and Fellaini were for me two of our most influential players.

You should watch players when they dont have the ball.

Anyhow my team would stil hammer anyone elses! FACT

Your blue tinted glasses are shining through, once again here.

Bullard outclassed both of them, they couldn't even get near him. I don't rate him at all but he played well that day, as did Murphy.

It was an awful combination and lacked discipline and quality.
 

I like MG's team, but put Hibbert back in and Neville back to midfield. Rodwell will have to wait to be a regular starter.

Neville has been absolutely essential to our good form lately. He puts in loads of tackles, understands how, when and where Mikel likes to receive the ball and perhaps most importantly he literally tells other players where to pass the ball, and he always gets it right. I saw him do it alot against Liverpool and noticed again against Bolton, even Arteta follows his orders.

Got a great footballing brain has Phil. In the best form since he's been here, it's like Villarreal at home stretched over a period of months.

Agreed Bullard had a great game, but Cahill put pay to that after about the 65th minute, Murphy did well in the first half an hour thought he faded after that.

You dont win games if your midfeild is getting bossed mate.

Im with you we have more quaility with arteta in the centre, quality or qualities, Spurs probably have more natural quality then us in their midfield but htey dont win games, its the blend that counts, i think ive struck the right blend of toughness and quality on the pitch at all times, and yes id have all our best players in the team, surely that makes sense, in a workable system.

Note theirs no Hibbert in my team, never thought id see the day mate, id have Kenright on as a second half sub too.

I don't think we got bossed. I just think that we got abit over run with the lack of discipline.

Whatever Fellaini comes out with, he cannot play in the defensive midfield or centre midfield role.

You've gotta balance your team imo. I think it's really hard to have a balanced team with Cahill and Fellaini in the team unless you try and play one on the wing, which would be a terrible decision like.

Arteta and Neville provide balance, discipline and Arteta provides the quality. I'd also prefer Cahill over Fellaini aswell, gives us more urgency and more fight aswell as providing more of an attacking threat.

To be honest mate all fair points, i rate Mofro more then you but we all like different players!

Makes a change, to have options eh!(y)
 
Concering Jo's debut...
Fox Football Fone In (here in the US) name Jo's goal the goal of the week. It's always nice to see the royal blue get some pub. Twas a beaut, wasn't it? I could watch it a few more times. Here's hoping for more.
