nigel pure quality

[halpo123]

a friendly maybe but nige was immense ,won the ball intimidated there whole midfield passed well ,infact his passing was pure quality at times the way he spins off people and finds a man .Im not gonna say its Silva standards but its of the same ilk.they cant get near him to take their revenge .Top man too

Silva couldn't do what he does without Nige behind him. If he wasn't there winning the ball time after time Silva woould be spending a lot of time looking for the ball.

He also protects the back four and therefore Joe Hart because he's got to be the spare man when the full backs go forward. And how many times do we see him get there to snuff out a threat down the flanks?

Had Sneijder in his back pocket, not many can do that!

 

[citizens_1976]

De Jongs distribution is excellent, and I can't believe he got slated on here by many a few weeks ago, he's absolutely world class in everything he does for us. I wouldn't swap him for anybody, not even Xabi Alonso or Michael Essien. I believe we have the best player in his position. Class act.

 

[Balotelli the brilliant]

His reputation slightly goes ahead of him which is sometimes a good thing. I think players don't go for the ball 100% when he has got a sniff of it. They know that they will no longer have the ball in a few seconds, they may as well do so without getting hurt.

May no longer have their leg either.

There was a moment in the game where I think it was Yaya who lost the ball and it ping ponged around for a while with half arsed tackles. An Inter player picked the ball up and no sooner had he taken 3 steps forward De Jong had slid in, took the ball left the player on his arse and given it back to Silva.
He's like Silva's guardian angel haha.

Love De Jong, will be getting him on my shirt again this season.

I cant believe how much better Micah is right now. You can tell he is so committed to this club. He never shirks a tackle no matter who it is.
Back to the topic in hand De Jong was superb today, his passing has improved no end not that it was bad to begin with but he's now adding creativity with his more cautious approach play. The back four must love it that he's sitting right there protecting them.
