Neville - Yobo - Jagielka - Lescott
Arteta - Castillo - Osman - Baines
Saha - Yakubu
Maybe hibbo on for neville and neville replacing baines and moving to the center...
Cahill?
If Baines plays in midfield I'll cry.
Doesnt his ban count in europe? Im not really sure...
...And atleast it would stop Lescott getting so far forward and leaving the left back open!! i think we need a proper winger - rather than osman who is useless on the wing and good in the center...
My opinion is as follows:
Howard
Not really at fault for the goals, and his distribution was hampered by the clear fact that the midfield didn't want the ball.
Hibbert
Same old [Poor language removed], different day. At one point the commentator said, "Hibbert out of position", I thought yeah - nothing more to add.
Yobo
Shaky, got to take responsibility like the rest.
Jagielka
Impressed with him coming out of defence with the ball, impressed with his snuffing out of Torres for the first hour. Not that impressed with the lack of marking of the most dangerous striker in the world today.
Lescott
It used to be - "another Lescott goal", now its, "another Lescott drop in concentration remark", clearly at fault for the first goal.
Neville
This guy can't pass, tackle, shoot, head, mark, run, throw, lead.
However, he is completely immune from being dropped
Osman
Poor, why speak about out muscling your rivals and then play Osman and leave the brick [Poor language removed] house Castillo on the bench.
Fellaini
Struggling to make his mark in the team, big transfer fee around his neck, and a little unfair to point the blame at him. He does look like a player who will perform with the side. Most of the time he was being by-passed, but he did look accomplished on the ball. I believe he will benefit from Pienaar on the pitch.
Cahill
Unlucky to be sent off, but it was not a shock. Just gave a poor ref the excuse to send him off.
Arteta
Would I be disappointed if this lad moved back to Spain? Nope. Been almost 18 months since I remember this lad really making a real difference. Far too many corners not missing the first man, and what the hell was that free-kick when he squared it for the centre back Yobo to do what Arteta is supposed to have the ability to do. Crap.
Yakubu
I will always say that Yak is an asset because he scores goals, and that's what we need. However, someone needs to tell him you score goals standing up, and that dive - will I was ashamed, and so should he be.
Saha
Instant impression again, why not on from the start? Did more in the time he was on then what Osman did in the whole game.
Moyes
Lacked ideas again, poor negative selection again. Can't seem to make that step, and I don't think its the club, I think its him.
