Tom Cleverley

[Blue Cheese]

Osman in his prime was twice the player Cleverly will ever be.

 

[Tubey]

He's doing exactly what he's paid to do - he keeps the tempo ticking over on that side of the pitch.

Yet loads of you want an inconsistent Belg who turns up 1 in 5 there instead, giving away possession constantly and making our team look like it's got 10 men.

He's dramatically outperformed expectations I had for him, and I can't understand criticism of him. Yes, he's not going to be doing stepovers or beating his man on the outside for a cross etc. but not every player has to do that.

He's been an incredible bargain.

You do know you need players to 'do a job' so those around them can perform? Filling the team with Mirallas and Ged never works as results have proved.

Howard's great teams in the 80s would have been lost without Kevin Richardson, Alan Harper and Paul Power "doing a job" when required.

 

[Chang Elephant]

An average/decent player. No problem with him being in the squad. But when Coco starts playing him every week, ahead of Mirrrallas, Barkley, Besic etc....talented players, it's going to create fume.

In terms of similarity, I had him more pegged as

and probably a bit below Li Tie

Good God have we be been sponsored by a second rate Thai beer for that long?

He didn't do that yesterday, either. Even the commentators brought it up. Squad player, that is all.

Since 2004, sadly.

 

[streeky]

I like cleverly in the left side role. He had an off game yesterday like a few of our lads but he kept to his task, and managed with Oviedo to keep their best player quiet.

 

[Fresh Prince of Belle Val]

Lads we won. We've conceded 1 goal
in 4 games. He's not a left winger and I agree he's not a first team player for me. But he was free and he gives his all.
